Oh, Steve Gibson gave an excellent description of this in Security Now two weeks ago:

Security Now #1023: Preventing Windows Sandbox Abuse

and this is the Tom’s Hardware article he’s referencing:

Unpowered SSD endurance investigation finds severe data loss and performance issues

Steve is an expert in this field, he makes SpinRite, which is probably the best tool on the market for drive health testing and repair.

Heh, that won’t stop a C-level from thinking that you just write code.

Yeah I put a screen protector on mine right away. It’s a portable device.

The combination of the etched screen and an etched screen protector definitely hurts the sharpness - I would’ve been better off with the standard glossy screen.

Have you installed a Linux operating system before?

The hardware swap is not difficult, but you do have to reinstall the OS on the new drive, so if you’re not already familiar with that process it may be a hurdle. The good news is there shouldn’t be any important data on it, so if you do have a problem you can just wipe it and start over.

I bought the original largest model, and in less than 6 months decided I wanted more than the 512GB. I wish I had saved the $200 and bought the cheapest model. There’s no other appreciable difference.

For individual projects the way this usually works is one of the larger companies that rely on the project hires the developer as an employee to maintain the codebase full-time and help integrate it with their internal processes.

Larger projects might form their own company and sell integration & support to other companies (e.g. Red Hat, Bitwarden).

Otherwise you’re basically dependent on donations or government grants.

There’s a Wikipedia article on this subject: Business models for open-source software

And there’s various industry opinions:

Demystifying the Open Source Business Model: A Comprehensive Explanation

How to build a successful business model around open source software

Open Source Business Models (UNICEF course)

I think monetization is easier for user-facing software though, which a lot of this material is written around, and harder for projects like libraries.

I mean… it always was unsustainable…

And there are hundreds if not thousands of them, plus a lot of automated tooling.

Quality control is expensive, and all they ever do is complain about how my brilliant idea to save money will kill more trees or some shit.

URLCheck (available in F-Droid) is a nice tool for inspecting URLs and removing tracking and other nonsense. It includes a lot of nice features such as:

• Url Cleaner: Uses the ClearURLs catalog to remove referral and useless parameters from the url. It also allows for common offline url redirections. Built-in catalog from https://docs.clearurls.xyz/latest/specs/rules/
• Unshortener: Uses https://unshorten.me/ to unshorten urls remotely.
• Queries remover: Displays the decoded individual url queries, which you can remove or check.

It’s handy for checking/editing links before pasting them into posts/comments, and also for checking links before you open them.

Probably not, he’ll just blame all the problems he creates on other people - that’s what narcissists do.

Java is to JavaScript as car is to carpet.

Hey buddy… wanna buy a watch?

Narrow scope.

Never use a spreadsheet to do a database job.

Nope, you have to make an appearance in court and provide documentation of your death.

“If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses”

A long wire is an antenna that will gather electromagnetic noise from the air and turn it into random signal on the line. Shorter wires will be less responsive and therefore less noisy, and you can also mitigate the problem by grounding everything properly. It’s also possible that with the wires in that parallel ribbon, they may induce crosstalk on each other. If you want to be really careful, you could replace that big ribbon cable with an STP cable and ground the shielding jacket.

Also, a noisy/low quality power input to the Pi will produce noise in its circuits and ultimately the output. If you can, supply the power from something better than a wall wart.

Please justify this point of view, because Measure J only applies to large CAFOs (as defined by federal regulation). This will only impact the operations of large corporations like Perdue, not “rural people”. Your post reads like corporate propaganda.

This would apply to 21 facilities in Sonoma County, none of them small family businesses.
