the only reason it sucks is because our hard water

Same. I probably get more calcium from a glass of water than from a glass of milk lol.

except for the very occasional

I, too, was disregarding the very occasional “courtesy flush” lol.

Every house and apartment I’ve lived in since 2003 has had low-flow fixtures. Never needed more than one flush.

Then you really should list all of the secondary functions you plan to add to it, make sure they understand what those are, and agree to each of them: full disclosure.

If you do something on it that could get them in trouble, it’s their ass on the line, not yours.

Are you friends okay with you doing that? I would not be, especially if my so-called friend didn’t disclose the secondary operations of the device that’s in my home, on my internet connection, under my name.

“Our spyware is not able to accommodate your platform.”

The horror stories I’ve read about what you give the software access to do (assuming there’s truth to them; I’ve never run it myself).

Edit: I’m realizing now your screenshot is probably for a web course.

Docker, .NET Core, and the combination thereof.

The most aggravating aspect of dealing with vendors at work is that they only seem to develop for WIndows. I’ll spare you my laundry list of gripes with two specific vendors, but suffice it to say, those gripes would not exist if they utilized Docker (they already use .NET Core) and didn’t target Windows specifically. Not to mention, my life would be infinitely easier and our Windows licensing budget much cheaper.

Good to know. Will have to read up, though from the little I’ve read, it sounds like this is just a concept for now.

That’s what I thought (re: backup cameras), and someone else mentioned the gauge cluster is a digital screen which switches to the backup camera view). In my case, 150 miles (round trip ) would be just around the upper edge of my use cases, though 15-20 would be more average.

which these days are basically a full size truck of yester-yore

Makes me miss my old 2003 Ranger. It was right where I needed a truck to be, size-wise.

Would definitely buy one of these. I miss having a truck, but I only need one occasionally for the occasional need to haul something that won’t fit in my car (e.g. Lowe’s trips). I also really dislike the “smartphone on wheels” aspect of pretty much all current EVs.

Plus, I hate the infotainment systems so I would be happy to roll my own.

Though I do wonder if it has a backup camera/screen. Aren’t those required nowadays?

I don’t see what people’s problem with this is. It’s not like it’s anyone can just buy a blue check (unlike X). It’s just confirming that the account belongs to who it claims to be (like old Twitter verified users). I don’t know if that requires any payment, but it’s definitely not “Here’s $5 – okay, here’s your blue check”.

• During this initial phase, Bluesky is not accepting direct applications for verification," the company said.
• “As this feature stabilizes, we’ll launch a request form for notable and authentic accounts interested in becoming verified or becoming trusted verifiers.”

If I remember correctly, that’s pretty much exactly how old Twitter rolled out its original user verification.

From a de-centralized perspective, I’m not sure how that would work. I guess each instance would be in charge of verification and setting the “verified” flag for the account? The alternative would be some kind of central authority. Granted, I know little of Bluesky (microblogging is not my cup of tea), so I may be way off on my guesses there.

I have’t seen “Caretaker” in a good minute, but they still needed to rescue Kim and Torres from the same planet. So, plot-wise, there probably still would have been an encounter with the Kazon, and they still would have gone back to the Array to see if it could get them home (and the Kazon would probably have still investigated that).

I would guess, anyway. Like I said, memory’s a bit hazy as I haven’t seen that episode in a while.

I think my two favorite Seska episodes were the ones after she was dead. The one with Tuvok’s hacked security training program / holonovel and then “Shattered”. She just seemed way more cunning and dangerous in those two than she ever did when she was allied with the Kazon (“Shattered” notwithstanding).

Even before I saw another user pull out some hilarious excerpts, I was gonna read it later Now I’m definitely going to.

This is one of the rare cases where reading the article would probably ruin a perfectly good headline. lol

I use SnappyMail. It’s a fork of Rainloop that’s actually maintained.

https://github.com/the-djmaze/snappymail

And unlike Rainloop, the Sieve filter editor actually works.

I have a single Nginx setup which is the frontend for all my web services. So I only need to deploy it there (and to its HA partner). My renewal script just scp’s it to the secondary and does an nginx -s reload on both.

I do generate separate certs/keys for my non-web servers, but there’s only two of those.

You could also, if you wanted, just generate one cert and distribute it and its key to everything with a script or other automation tool (Ansible is what I used to use).

Is there a way I can get Let’s Encrypt to dole out a wildcard certificate

Yep. Just specify the domains yourdomain.com and *.yourdomain.com in the certbot request. Wildcard domains require the DNS-based challenge, but you’ve said you’re already good there. You don’t technically need the apex domain (yourdomain.com) but I always add it since I do have services running there.

Any subdomains under the wildcard can use internal DNS or internal IPs on the public DNS (I do the former, but the latter works too).

I used to run an internal CA, and it wasn’t too hard to setup a CA and distribute my root cert. Except on mobile devices. On Android it was easy, but there was a persistent warning that my network traffic could be intercepted (which is true when there’s a custom root cert installed), but it since it was my cert, it got annoying seeing that all the time. Not sure if Apple devices can even do that, but regardless, it wasn’t practical for friends who wanted to use my self-hosted services to install a custom cert when they were over.

Oh, well, silver lining: the misinterpretation of that comment inspired more discussion than it would have had it been interpreted correctly as grammar pedantry lol

Yeah, A/C is a power sink; I’m not arguing that. But people are increasingly in need of it for survival. No one needs AI (the biggest datacenter power suck to date).
