If it eventually gets outed as being Ponzi scheme, I’ll not be remotely surprised.

Classic Reg. They style their headlines on Daily Fail language, meant to be a bit hyperbolic and/or tongue in cheek - which worked in the era of lad’s magazines - but really doesn’t now.

Good article, tough.

Found this to be an interesting read, and well written. Thanks for sharing it.

GitHub is often used as a code mirror, with the actual repo and builds being hosted elsewhere.

Shelter, as in the work profile app? It shows up on Droid-ify for me, and a check of the Links section confirms it’s hosted on a different repo (gitea.angry.im).

Although it’s certainly a popular distribution, my understanding is that Bazzite’s future is currently uncertain due to Fedora’s decision to remove certain 32-bit libraries in future and the folks behind Bazzite saying they may need to end the project because of it.

I don’t know the details, and it’s possible that Fedora will reconsider, someone may make those libraries available downstream, or the Bazzite folks may have been hyperbolic, but it’s worth looking for the details and potential impacts. (Don’t take my reply as an accurate assessment).

As an alternative, I can recommend an excellent game-friendly distro: EndeavourOS. It’s based on Arch, rather than Fedora. I use it on my gaming PC and my general use laptop. I’m approaching the 2 year mark with this distro.

Had a manager who used to send notes intended for himself to our team chat. Psychotic behaviour.

Every phone has a note app. No matter how stupid you are, it works. But if messages to yourself floats your boat: why not.

Top-right is an ibis? The Australian nickname for them is “bin chicken” for obvious reasons…

Thanks for checking and the update.

Oh no… anyone know what this means for DuckDuckGo?

+1 for this. I’ve been using it for years. Handles downloads and uploads nicely.

Is this is legendary mothgirl prophecy?

Le petit mort , ahem, comes in many forms…

What?! Think of the shareholder value! /s

My take on ads is this: I’ve been using the internet since 1989 - before search engines, advertising, SLIP/PPP/ADSL, etc.

When ads began to appear on websites in the late 90s, I was OK with it. A banner ad here, etc. Then they started to move. And flash. And make noise. And then popups, and pop-unders.

At that point I started to BLOCK THEM ALL. If your business model is a game of distraction from the site I’m visiting, then fuck you, your family, and anyone you’ve ever met.

Moving on to UI web-based stuff, the demise of excellent sites like AltaVista (with its superior search syntax) and the growth of Goooooooogle (with its astonishingly and intentionally shit search syntax), the progress and intention was obvious.

There was a brief period where Google, etc, provided what people wanted. But that time has passed. Now it’s all in on GIGO: garbage in, garbage out.

tl;dr: Once advertisers started to behave like gambling sites, they were yeeted to the hell in which they belong.

Odd, it must be the Docker image I’m using, then. Thanks for clarifying.

I run AdGuard Home, WireGuard and a couple of other things on my 4B, all in Docker.

I used to run HomeAssistant on our for a while, but they stopped supporting that architecture (armhf?). Also used to run Unbound on it.

Inevitable, really. And zero surprise it’s coming out of China.

Reads more like an advertorial. Low on detail, high on “passkeys are the future”, and plenty of typos.

Agreed.

I didn’t mention that I also spend time after every meeting I host putting together a summary of what was discussed along with a bullet point list of deliverables, who agreed to work on them, and due dates and then send it to all attendees, invitees, and stakeholders.

It deals with the Spider-Man pointing at Spider-Man meme problem and “magnanimous work dodgers” - those who promise the world in meetings but then seemingly disappear off the planet.

It probably should be noted that many of the meetings I host are recurring, often weekly or fortnightly, so it’s easy to find a rhythm (and identify the problem children).

When I started my career I quickly became convinced that meetings are the opposite of work. Now a large part of my career is hosting meetings. 😬

My biggest piece of advice to junior staff is: if you’re not provided an agenda prior to a meeting, your attendance is not required. RSVP with Yes if it sounds interesting/beneficial and you have the time, otherwise Nope (or Tentative) your way out of it.

The obvious caveat is if that meeting is called by someone with role power over you. In which case: as they clearly don’t respect your time, it’s on you to (politely) ask them to provide an agenda. It may also indirectly train them to be less shit.
