I spent such a long time the other day trying to figure out why I couldn’t access an application I wrote and served on a home server from my reverse proxy. Next day I take a look at the DNS record I setup again, CNAMEd to the host server instead of the reverse proxy server. Felt dumb.

I think for me it’s the scale of my work projects and lack of deep interest in the projects themselves. Hobby projects get started because I have some kind of interest that I want to expand on by writing some code. For instance, RF and aviation are two interests and I recently wrote an ADSB message decoder with a map kind of like flightradar24 does. That’s super interesting to me, so writing that code is fun.

You guys leave the search bar on the taskbar?

Washington surprises me. AFAIK full nudity is legal in Seattle.

Doesn’t freetube use invidious api?

Yeah, we haven’t even gotten into the reliability. The have dead times where no output is created that nuclear doesn’t suffer from.

Yeah, a couple people are saying that, but I can’t find any information on how it’s implemented for providers. Regardless, not having an account is one less avenue for my information to be leaked. I do worry more about the doctor’s security practices (2FA, password complexity, password rotation, etc…) than my own.

Can you explain how wind and solar get cheaper over time? Especially wind, those blades have to be replaced fairly often and they are expensive.

It’s a complicated problem. The biggest privacy issues come from the use of JavaScript, but most of the time sites use JavaScript heavily and become unusable when it’s disabled. Other sites will straight up not let you access them without JavaScript.

Some things can be potentially embarrassing so your information could still be used against you by cyber gangs for money, so even though it’s no monetary impact for companies, the information still has a value.

I like to hope that my data won’t be released to companies like mychart without my consent.

No I get you. I just had a different problem with the same platforms that I wanted to voice.

While experiencing overwhelming anxiety that their boss is going to come around the corner and chew them out for not working.

I’m taking a stance against these platforms by always declining to ever create an account on them when the doctor’s office asks. Having medical data accessible like this is just asking for an attack, followed by a leak. And then I can only assume insurance companies buy these leaked databases and adjust rates accordingly.

I don’t know the answer to your question, but I have never heard of these alternative protocols. Thanks for giving me something new to go learn about.

Title felt misleading.

Yep, the ones who are doing some kind of input on stack overflow (even just a survey) are way beyond the “let’s keep everything the same because to get rid of tech debt sounds like a bunch of work” camp.

I think when you start looking at how expensive other forms of green energy are (like wind) long term, nuclear looks really good. Short term, yeah it’s expensive, but we need long term solutions.

I doubt prices go down, but they may go up slower and it’s a win for small business.

The other thing it mentioned was the “head-to-hood” test. AFAIK car manufacturers are only required to meet the collision safety requirements for collisions involving the same class of vehicle. Vehicles in different classes are not made to impact with each other, making, for instance, a sedan to pickup truck collision much more dangerous for the sedan driver. The only way they can still meet those safety requirements is to make the front of the SUVs and trucks much much smaller and probably lower.

Edit: I was thinking of the AP article about this.
