This!! Wendell is the best! He actually started designing his own KVMs because the ones on the market didn’t have all the functionalities/support.

The ones that monitor torrent to sue people are lawyer firms, not the government.

Public transit in NY moves literally millions of people per day, so the chances are still pretty low.

Maybe find a middle ground, like sharing the hosted service with just one or two persons, like a close friend, family member, etc. Could be someone you live with or that you can give VPN access to your network. That way is more private and mainly for your self, but also has some sense of doing it for others to motivate you.

There was no version control at all. The company that provided the software was really shady, and the implementation was so bad that the (only) developer was there full time fixing the code and data directly in production when the users had any issue (which was several times a day).

I was hired to implement a CRM for an insurance company to replace their current system.

Of course no documentation or functional requirements where provided, so part of the task was to reverse engineer the current CRM.

After a couple of hours trying to find some type of backend code on the server, I discovered the bizarre truth: every bit of business logic was implemented in Stored Procedures and Triggers on a MSSQL database. There were no frontend code either on the server, users have some ActiveX controls installed locally that accessed the DB.

Same here. Now my router/AP does it automatically.

Exactly. There’s a minimum 4 weeks that can be increased in the employment contract. Going up to 3 months is not rare, depending on the industry/type of job.

And it works both ways, so if the employer wants to fire you, the same notice period applies.

I’m very happy with my FritzBox (7590), it handles de ADSL connection to the ISP, supports various DDNS providers, Wireguard VPN, 4 port gigabit switch (5 of you don’t need the WAN port), guest WiFi with client isolation.

It also has basic media server and NAS functionality (with USB3 external hard drives).

Of course you can change the DNS server and other network controls like QOS, wake on LAN, port forwarding, different profiles with parental controls, filters, connection times, etc.

They also seem to take security seriously.

Replicators! Yes!!

Some restaurants probably will still exist as a premium option. And chefs can create recipes and sell them online.

They’ll probably add DRM to it. Crap! 😬

I don’t think it’s related. It’s been a new years tradition in Berlin for years.

I have friends and family in Berlin and I spent new year’s Eve there five years ago. It was totally crazy. People shooting fireworks at each other in the streets and from/to the balconies.

I ended up with a jacket full of burn holes, and we were in a kind of quiet neighborhood on the outskirts of the city.

Yes!! I used Linux back then (still do) and I absolutely hated M$, but I loved the Intellimouse.

The option was there, but it wasn’t ready for every day use. The performance impact was significant. The couple times I tried it, it was practically unusable. The UI also showed a warning about performance when you enabled it

I code in C/C++. Work laptop is windows, but the products run on various Linux and Unix flavors, as well as in Windows. So I use Clion on win, that syncs the code changes to a Linux VM for building and testing. The toolchain is in a docker image, so I can change the build and test environments without affecting each other. Since I need to test on different OSs, I have multiple VMs in a server at the office.

I like SomaFm. Lots of different ambient music stations without commercials. I Specially like SpaceStation and DroneZone for coding.
