Probably true, but there were still some useful bots that I enjoyed on a regular basis like the metric conversion bot, the invidious link switcher and the remindme bot.

I think that Lemmy will allow you to use bots only if you declare them as such which should allow users to block or allow to customize their own experiences.

After breaking “prod” many times, I have a Dev (local machine), Test (small VM) and Prod (big VM). My test is just less RAM and space and I need to spin down certain K8s things to spin up others, but it’s a close mirror of Prod, just less.

Search for “general strike 2028”. It’s in the works already.

I think this is exactly what I’m looking to do. Thanks for such a detailed writeup!

I did some reading last night and think it lines up with what you’re saying. I found docker-mailserver with some configuration. The only thing I need to add is mail filtering to folders and I think that’s included.

I’d like to hide behind the service that I’m paying for without incurring extra fees for retaining it all. I can figure out the pull side by using fetchmail or something to a server that hosts dovecot, but the sending side is confusing since I’d need something that can receive my email and send it via the service. It’s only 1 email address, so I’m not looking for a mail relay, but something like a full caching mail proxy.

I started watching the video. I was not aware that LetsEncrypt supported wildcard certificates. Does this mean that your internal network uses the same domain name as your externally-hosted services?

I tried step-ca to start with, but my primary use case was for certs in the cluster, which cert-manager is more suited for natively. Maybe step-ca has improved, I was using it in the early days. My goal isn’t a short lived cert as much as it is to have an easy configuration and to learn.

I think it may support it, but it’s not well documented. I’ll need to read up a bit. I started with helm charts but like how operators, um operate. They upgrade on their own and are very stable. Honestly, though, it was mostly because I wanted to learn how they work.

I think this is what I’m going to do.

Yes, monthly is too fast. I’m using a K8s operator for cert-manager which defaults to a month. I think I can patch the CSV with an annotation that will bump that out, but when the operator updates the CSV then I need to repatch it.

I was polling the community to see if there’s something that is easy to use but I was not able to find in my searches. It seems like a common problem.

Part of my problem is that I chose to use a K8s operator for cert-manager which isn’t easy to configure. Had I used a helm chart, i’d have bumped the root cert to 10 years and forgotten about it.

OK, easy solution: don’t open outlook.

Most of the time that I’m in the office, my laptop is closed anyways, you know, for collaboration.

With all the employees back in the office, they’ll have plenty of time to hang around the water cooler and discuss all the ways to unionize. Leaving the company is great as an individual, it sends a message. Unionizing helps to restore the balance of power vs rights and is exactly what Amazon doesn’t want. This (IMHO) is how you “F them hard”. Additionally, it’d send a message to the other companies who want to flex on the people who make the company work.

Indent to find an article to back up what I remember and in 2020, a woman was held in contempt of court and jailed for refusing to provide a passcode. The case was later overturned.

Double check this in the state or country you’re in. I recall something from a few years ago where the police could force you to give a swipe pattern and maybe pin since these items are not covered in the same way that a password is.

Cory wrote about this in his essay, "Unpersoned". I’ve been using gmail as a spam catcher for all the sleazy sites you need to register with, but didn’t realize how I’ve made a trap for myself when, for example, my prescriptions need 2 factor authorization via my gmail. This is going to be a hard one to detangle.

I’ve done the same with businesses that stayed open during Covid lockdowns, especially restaurants. If they don’t care about a global pandemic, they’re probably not handling food properly, following proper cleaning protocols, etc.

Isn’t this like leaving your team playbook on the hood of your car before the big game? Why can’t or don’t the parties opposing this use it to construct their game plan to systematically remove all the loopholes and methods that this “project” is using to promote their agenda? I’m the furthest thing from a politician, so ELI5.

Agreed. How about the other guy? Was anybody inspired by him?

I’m really sad that it’s come to this. It’s how I feel when my coworkers vote to go out to a sushi restaurant. I don’t like fish and I’m allergic to shellfish, so I eat my pile of steamed rice and bite my tongue when they want to split the bill equally.

What was I talking about again?

I’m using tailscale (which I hear is just a wrapper for wireguard) and love it.

True. I was referring more to the first part about being fired. After rereading it, the two weren’t “fired”. Although 3 years of probation isn’t nothing, it’s a far cry from what many feel should have been done. The CEO was banned from the industry, which is something.

I’d really be curious to know if the punishment of the CEO & “head of retail operations” provided relief to the people affected by their crime AND was substantial enough to change their behavior.I feel that those items are what the sentencing should be about.
