My understanding is that the aliases are still free, no? There's no mailbox, the mail is just forwarded to whatever address you provide.

They've done a horrible job of communicating these changes so perhaps I'm mistaken.

I have been using Gandi for this, even with their pricing change, email aliases (just for receiving email, to any other email address (e.g. gmail)) are still free. I use them extensively.

I stopped reading at this point, completely disillusion for anything _minimally viable_ it's 2023 and I've still seen large companies with credentials and passwords committed into their code...

Maybe Gruntwork.io, makers of Terragrunt, I think?

I always just stuck to vanilla Terraform but recall coming across them at some point.

Came here for this comment :D

I thought (and hoped) this post was going to mention the bizarre american phenomenon where people driving by a person walking have the urge to scream something at them.

Long live redmine!

> showcase your creativity and self-expression

> demonstrate your unique personality, ingenuity, and ability to captivate clients

That's what they want in their culture, you obviously aren't looking to join a company with this culture, good thing you found out now before starting.

Worth noting, I hate TikTok and don't use it but I think what they're asking for is not that bad. It's a good way to demonstrate that you fit into their culture: TikTok is just a (sadly popular) medium to test that. If you're totally opposed to TikTok ask if you can just make a one-minute video and submit it to them directly.

That's what I would do, and honestly I would have fun with it. You don't have to do some stupid dance, you just have to make a creative video that's a minute long...

I've been a Gandi customer for over a decade. I'm willing to shell out the $4/month (for now) I get it, they have to make money. But when the aliases are no longer free: I'm out.

Having a backup plan isn't a horrible idea either... might give mail-in-a-box a try.

I agree, why isn't a warrant required for such information in the first place?

Netsurf

Seems so.

Nuclear power plants around the world have been releasing water containing tritium in the ocean for decades. The amount Japan is releasing is actually quite small in comparison.

Might want to try out PostMark or AWS SES instead.

Honestly, if that's your workflow just get a Chromebook with LTE

So, you could huff it, smoke it, or inject it legally before you could pump it legally (at least in Portland)? lol

> the bot could be prompted to make excuses or to delay the date

I'm so glad I'm (at least currently) married and don't have to worry about finding myself using this app to meet people.

Your post said:

> "I think the Match Group +/- monopoly/dominance is terrible for society"

How is using AI and bot accounts to chat with lonely men (who think they're chatting with real humans) any better for society?

> Aware of that too, hence why it would be quickly disabled.

Or you could just... not do it at all

> temporary AI generated profiles and chats

This is terrible for many reasons, one of which is that no one will actually meet anyone else in real life and no one wants to talk to a dating bot. Once that's exposed you'd lose all credibility.

For heterosexual relationships: you need real single women. If you have that, the men will show up and they'll be easy to attract. You might consider locating single women in several age groups (not sure how to do this, perhaps marketing) and asking them to join, you could potentially pay them for signing up and creating a profile. I'm not sure what that amount is but it's probably not that expensive.

This is a crappy situation to be in for sure, the company definitely let this linger for far too long.

I'd do the following:

1. Make sure you have complete admin control over the git repos.

2. Clearly communicate that pushing to master/main branches will no longer be allowed, all changes need to go through the PR review process. Document this process in the same place you'd like to see the developers start documenting their work too, make sure they're aware, and ask if anyone doesn't understand how it works (branching, etc.) Also test this process yourself and make sure it works as expected.

3. After everyone has had time to review the doc and no questions have been brought up about how it works flip the switch and prevent any merges directly into master/main on all repos (in Github you can do this with branch protections.)

Once the initial shock of (gasp) having to review code changes wears off, you can start adding other processes as needed, CODEOWNERS, consolidating CI/CD, etc in a similar manner.

Worth noting: If this troublesome developer leaves in frustration, they're going to experience the processes you're describing pretty much anywhere else (save for a similarly dysfunctional shop) they may or may not know that too. If they're resistant to process change, perhaps they'll be resistant to job change too.

Yeah got the email today, had to go digging in the PDF on my phone still seems very poorly communicated IMHO.

Why not learn these skills? If they're just pet projects it doesn't matter if they don't look perfect right away.

Same! and it works on OpenBSD supposedly. I can't wait to try this out this weekend.

I've used Gandi as a registrar and for personal email for about a decade.

I've received no email/notifications about any changes in regards to my services so this FAQ about a new mailbox service that I never knew existed is rather confusing.

There's lies, damn lies, and status pages.

When confronted they just flat out shut down the service. They also donated $1000 to the project, and they've redirected requests to their payment site to the US White House's website, and they're from China.

They were also suggesting that user's ran the utility as root...

All really shady...

It would be absurd to think that some organization _doesn't_ have a _plan_, or perhaps even an entire team prepared, for handling retrieval of an unidentified craft, right? Even if it's never happened, surely there's a plan for handling something weird falling from the sky. That's definitely someone's job...

Now, if that playbook is seen by someone and then goes through several games of telephone I wouldn't be shocked if it turned into "we have retrieved vehicles of non-human origin."

My wife still plays but I got overwhelmed by the sheer number of pokemon that exist now.

I used to run a Windows VM on my (work provided) Macbook Pro, because the only way to change our AD passwords was through a domain-joined Windows machine. My team had permission to purchase macs but the rest of the org used Windows. I also used a separate Windows VM for customer VPNs, I had snapshots with specific installs I would rollback to for any specific customer's VPN as there was more than once I couldn't install the differing versions of Cisco or something (can't recall the specifics.)

I'm not sure how to accomplish this on Macs with the arm chips now though.

I read "dropped" as some feature they had and removed 168 hours ago causing fallout and more anger with their subscription model, a bit overloaded of a term I guess.

All of Michael W Lucas' books are great, they're so easy to digest.

A lot of people claim this is nit picky but I disagree. Especially in the context of job descriptions.

I would entertain a job that involved C development but I would be very hesitant to to entertain one for C++
