If anyone is reading this and has an OnHub they want to donate, just hit up the OpenWRT dev mailing list and offer it to existing devs. The OnHub is an ipq806x device and should be easy to support.

Well that was a dumb thing to say.

If I remember right this change has something like 71% approval amongst the population up here. It's overwhelmingly supported and popular. We can't get rid of DST fast enough.
As a systems and network administrator I know that the vast majority of outages are human initiated. Maintenance gone bad. Simple mistakes such as unplugging the wrong cable. Stupid stuff. Sometimes thresholds such as disk usage or other resources get exceeded or a part just wears out and breaks, but usually it's us stupid humans fucking something up with our own hands where it would have been just fine if you had left it alone.
So there's your servers are houseplants advice. Stop touching them. Stop doing stuff. Leave it alone.
Of course that's impossible. We have to get new plants installed and have to find that equilibrium they like to thrive.
But when you find it, leave them the fuck alone and don't break it.
Darknet Diaries is entertainment first and foremost. It's also a for-profit podcast where it's advertising becomes a problem.
I say this disappointingly, as I like good technical podcasts, but I have found very few in the security space which work well for me.
The information density is low. There's a whole lot of unnecessary back-and-forth banter between hosts and the the typical kind of old-school AM radio type bullshittery. A 30 minute segment often based on a four paragraph blog post.
The other big problem I have with the show is that the advertisement model has a whole lot of dark patterns. It's been sometimes difficult to tell which segments are "sponsored" (paid adverts) and which is attempted-NEWS/info. In fact, most of the shows are just one advert after another, and the guest speakers are often sleazy and leave out important information. That makes Darknet Diaries a misinformation source for me. I stopped trusting what I was hearing after awhile.

But clickbait is something I'm interested in, so I went ahead and watched the video. Or at least I listened to it -- 98% of the video was a guy inexplicably standing on a ladder, waving his hands around, while casting a shadow against a screen.
The video is a justification of why it's okay for him to use clickbait. The same justifications are used by spammers and criminals to justify their actions. Nobody thinks it's fascism when they do it. It's some pretty light-weight wrongdoing he's into though, and I'm fairly sympathetic to the argument.
The reality is that you can't get a good social network without a lot of idiots. If you want to reach the widest cross-section of people they are going to be Dan Carlin levels of "average".
But as the top comment here shows, there's an insidious and perverse effect of scraping the bottom of the barrel. You might just start to like it. This person would be wise to be wary of such.
A lot of that "python2 will never die" crowd left python all together, and they are better off for it because they won't have to deal with the next time python decides to throw everyone's work out the window.

Go to 41:18 in and listen to the story regarding Facebook and NYU's AdObserver project.
Facebook has no credibility.
The Reddit sub seems like they are actively trying to suppress discussion of this issue. There's some allegations of censorship on the sub, but I'm not seeing it... which might actually just be confirmation that they are censoring. I don't know.
That's what a "realtor" is BTW: A used house salesman.
My Boox isn't all terrible, but I would strongly suggest people check out Supernote or Remarkable instead. Both have their issues, but don't buy a Boox.
Please don't pick up a package just because you think it would be cool to be a maintainer. If you are not invested in the well-being of the userbase, you will get called out.
You can't say something like this about Bloomberg News and what happened with the Bloomberg presidential campaign and have credibility.
I am not impressed with podman. It's buggy and slow. Documentation is very basic and the underlaying mechanics are not covered where needed. Want to reconfigure the command parameters your start your container with to add a exported variable? Gotta remake the entire setup because there's no edit command.
Red Hat blogger marketing budget.
"It has to happen because it has to happen" is classic logical fallacy anti pattern.
A little bit of reasonable descent could give Mozilla a lot of authenticity, but they seem incapable of that level of humility.
Occasionally I see private blog/reddit/tweeter posts from employees, but never in an official manner, and always with a hint of trepidation that they could be fired for speaking out.
There are very very sites which get triggered by Dark Reader, but Red Hat sites are one of them.
Sadly this extension has a slight negative impact on loading performance, but I don't mind. It's otherwise great and makes reading much easier.
