Managing a public authentication service requires ongoing maintenance and monitoring costs. While they could pay a third party to manage it for them, this is a reasonable decision for them to keep costs low. It doesn’t sound like Jitsi is s

No but a beta Terraform provider is available. Just don’t forget to import the existing resource lest strange things happen.

The number of users is a different metric than amount of (interesting) content created by those users.

Say 50-60 years pass. Wordpress gets acquired by a dodgy company who decides they're OK terminating this deal because they consider the risk of litigation low. It would be difficult to know if Wordpress (or future acquiring company) is

Plus consider how many people are going to really care about this deal being upheld in 100 years. Say a buyer of this service dies in 50 years. Would their children and potential grandchildren want to take Wordpress to court over the $15,00

I disagree. 1. Those who express disparaging remarks towards others do not need to utilize a specific term. 2. A common narrative is that urban environments/cities are mismanaged, possess dangerous amounts of crime, and filled of corru

I at least partially disagree. A large number of smaller/basement airbnb units near me are within a very short walk of hotels or hotels offering suites. Generally speaking, the hotels are located closer to favorable amenities.

I've worked tech support at a couple of different organizations early in my career. It does not seem at all unusual to create a team dedicated to a particular class of issue so other support staff can focus on a broader range of issues

No, it was in response to the correct comment but I should elaborate. > Leaning on a proprietary solution also means you're downstream of any decision the makers of the tool make, including choosing to nuke your (and/or your bu

Unless your business is in the line of user authentication, what business advantage would one get by developing their own LDAP server? It would be an incredibly inefficient use of resources if you're a 100 person shop only wanting unif

Eh, depends on "easier". For day-to-day tasks as a technical user I use a Mac but wouldn't find it to be an issue to use linux for most of my work. However, my strictly-gaming PC runs Windows. It's by-far the easiest, le

Unfortunately there are a select few (though popular) games like Valorant that won't run because they require anti-cheat software with Windows kernel-mode drivers. That said, it does support _a lot_.

Can you elaborate on what is competent spending? The theory of privatization solving problems is predicated on the assumption that competition will exist. Competition in the private sector cannot be assumed to always exist.

I fail to see the value of expending time to configure extra services for functionality that I could get by downloading a client to another service that might not be ideal, but works enough to not care about.

Thanks for hosting a service to help host the logs in a public manner. As far as logs hosting though, this only works for as long as you're willing to host though. It seems unlikely that Discord will disappear overnight -- or if this w

While this would be arguing an anecdote with an anecdote, I completely disagree "most orgs" have executed information management well. A number of places use email as their effective information store. Good luck finding content on

Let’s not suggest IRC logs are much better. Individual clients may be able to log but say you just join a project channel with years of discussion — you’d have literally nothing to start with. Discord gives you a chance at searching old his

This is incorrect. I’m not sure where you’re finding 250kW as the max for a V4 Supercharger but they’ve been shown to charge at more power in the wild. https://www.theverge.com/2023/4/19/23689247/tesla-v4

I'm skeptical of a narrative where concern for the electrical grid's ability to handle load is only considered for EV growth over several years versus the air conditioning use in the current unprecedented heatwave. Anecdotally, my

At some point it is in the power company’s best interest to put some kind of circuit breaker somewhere and I’m assuming the competence would be on the power company’s end.

The article is extremely alarmist and is extrapolating scenarios from a very limited set of quotes to the point of absurdity. Specifically the quote: "We’ve inadvertently created a weapon that nation-states can use against our power gr

I wonder if this can be worked around by using the Shortcuts app. Set the Trigger to be when you join the carrier’s SSID — as they show up in the list of valid trigger SSIDs, then set the action set to turn off WiFi.
