If you get annoyed at captchas, try this game: https://neal.fun/not-a-robot/

In a similar vein if you apply to a job, do you prefer being ghosted or a rejection email?

As a serious question: would you rather no email when no updates or an email saying no updates?

I guess I’d rather the email to not wonder if something got lost or some other issue.

Now the multiple in one day: I can’t really defend. That seems nutty. Maybe they should let you choose how often to get the given update.

What if it’s a network mount inside the container? Doesn’t the mount not happen till the container starts?

I have a couple pis that run docker containers including pihole. The containers have their storage on a centralized share drive.

I had a power outage and realized they can’t start if they happen to come up before the share drive PC is back up.

How do people normally do their docker binds? Optimally I guess they would be local but sync/backup to the share drive regularly.

Sort of related question: in docker compose I have restart always and yet if a container exits successfully or seemingly early in it’s process (like pihole) it doesn’t restart. Is there an easy way to still have them restart?

It’s weird to me. As long as the people speaking to each other understand each other that’s what should matter. We shouldn’t limit folks.

I once was in a meeting and was told they’ll speak Polish instead of English since I was the only non Polish speaker.

I no longer had to attend that daily meeting so that was nice.

Another time I was forwarded an email at work. I opened it but couldn’t understand the thread. The two people in the thread were speaking Portuguese and forgot that I didn’t.

They then happily translated and we had a good laugh about it.

The only time it’s uncomfortable for me is if people are talking about me, but like I have no reason to think they’re doing that so no problem.

In what way? Anything on the public internet is likely being used for AI training. I guess by using free GitHub you can’t object to training.

Then again anywhere you host you sort of run into the same problem. You can use robots.txt, but things don’t have to listen to it.

Something that may help:

Why doesn’t GitHub Pages fit your use case? It’s nice to get free static hosting from them.

I doubt they’ll call it a failure regardless of how it does.

If anything it’s a great money maker for WWE. How’s it a failure for them by any means? They’re making more for giving less. They can sell the library elsewhere to make more. Unless you’re speculating it’s a failure for ESPN in which case it remains to be seen.

WWE could care less if people buy the PLEs since they have a guaranteed payment from the deal.

They’re also towards the (seemingly) tail end of a hot period that lasted around the same, if not, longer than the attitude era. It was also even more profitable even accounting for inflation.

WWE has no reason to worry until the last year or so of the new deal. Nothing matters until then. They will make a ton of money and be immensely profitable.

Edit: Content and the cost being worth it is continually debated and yet sports continually pay more in rights fees while everything else seemingly gets less. This falls close enough to sports to fall in the loss-leader category of wanting to have the programming for prestige to build the brand as opposed to directly making money.

Think about sports rights and events like that. Millions of dollars in rights fees that don’t get made back even in advertising, etc. It means a lot for station X to have something like the NBA, how much it means to have WWE PLEs remain to be seen for ESPN.

There used to be a scary logo animation for National Amusements that used to scare me as a child. It gives me the creeps now still.

It was all neon and then there would be a creepy screen to show you where the exits were.

(Not directly related but this reminded me of it.)

Another option if you need public access without something like tailscale would be to use ddns and a AAAA record. Something like https://github.com/ddclient/ddclient would help do that.

That way if the IP changes, you’d pick up on the change for your vanity url within a few minutes… and can get https certs for that url as well.

Edit: I reread the OP. This doesn’t help if clients need direct ipv4. Sorry about that.

Bad eh security advice: use an alternative ssh port. Lots of actors try port 22 and other common alternatives. Much fewer will do a full port scan looking for an ssh server then try brute forcing.

For some reason a collective of cats sounds like some sort of organized crime group that wears suits.

My cat doesn’t wear a suit, though probably partakes in organized crime. 🤔

I have both but just use pihole as a local DNS server/forwarder. I bump into too many random times where sites or redirects don’t work properly since they get blocked.

Consider using containers. I used to think this way, though now my goal is to get down to almost all containers since it’s nice to be able to spin up and down just what the one ‘thing’ needs.

I figure maybe towards the end of my lifetime laws will catch up to allow some form of real digital ownership. Until then: you lose it when they go out.

99/100 people will not care. I’m one of them.

For that 1/100: sure it’s infuriating but probably more than mildly.

If this is your fear, why not just have a will or something that specifically describes what to do and where to go?

If I ever watch one Mr. Bean YouTube video, all my suggestions become Mr. Bean. I mean he’s ok but they literally have the same video uploaded to multiple channels with slightly different names.

Give me more different Mr. Bean. Stop repeating the Bean.

I think the same about basically every new smartphone at this point. Since when have we had real innovation there?
