This guy is like one of those “pranksters” who harass people for clicks. You have no idea what a repo owner might already be struggling with, so no, I don’t find that funny.

In 12 months… vibe code mess. Or discontinued. Or both.

Did you really read documents about the history? Your wording suggests 'no'.

I once had to restore around 2 TB of RAW photos. The app was a mess. It crashed every few hours. I ended up manually downloading single folders over a timespan of 2 weeks to restore my data. The support only apologized and could not help with my restore problem. After this I cancelled my subscription immediately and use local drives for my backups now, drives which I rotate (in use and locations).

I never trust them again with my data.

Thanks!

Codex was generating code, that began with ... Copyright [real name] ...

My fear were not patents, because the code is too simple, but similarity to existing code from this company. I did not know if this could lead to problems if the architecture or the code itself is too similar.

Your own words:

>> I'm the co-founder of an interview prep mentorship platform [...] my company's services so there is a small amount of overlap on the most experienced end of Codesmith and the least experienced end of Formation. <<

I am using my own Mail Server (mailcow) beside my old gmail and other adresses. But for convenient, searchable offline Backups, I use Mailsteward (macOS) ... if it is of interest for someone: https://mailsteward.com

(alternatives for other OS: https://alternativeto.net/software/mailsteward/)

Then I put the database on multiple backup locations regularly.

Another thing, some people do not already know: If you don't need a throwaway-adress for some services, and you just want to make your mailbox more structured, you can use '+' before the '@' to add another word to your email adress.

Like: your.name+randomName@gmail.com

The +randomName will be ignored and the emails are received at your.name@gmail.com. But most Servers (I use) will put a '[randomName]' before the subject of the received email. Which can be quite handy for handling your emails. Even more, if the company uses multiple different adresses to send you emails.

I use 2 yubikeys. I registered both on multiple services. So… yes, it is possible. One key is a backup if the other key stops working.

It's like huffduffer.com It is always good to have more choice - in case a service dies. Thank you for the information about Fourble!

Is this the worlds longest open bug? Or can anybody beat Jetbrains?

You could use the fediverse directly instead of Threads if you don't want to be 'over-moderated'. Some server admins in the fediverse also go over board, but you can host your own instance in the fediverse or search for an instance that align with your topics.

Another bonus if you use AltStore - you don't have to install an app from a company that defrauds children with in-app coin purchases to unlock stuff in their games... it's funny how Epic is now portrayed as 'the good guys'.

People should not start wars.

Loved the cat's page :)

Thank you!

Yes.

Didn‘t Space Karen announce a „Boat Kit“, that turns the truck into an actual boat?

What could go wrong *lol

I switched from DigitalOcean to Hetzner for my cloud servers. They have a nice web firewall, that you could use. I use it to prevent access on some ports, for example on Port 22...

But wait, how can you connect to Port 22 then? I use Tailscale as a VPN for this. I installed Tailscale on my local computer and my servers, so I can use the VPN to connect to this port. The less open ports, the better.

What else... Use fail2ban or CrowdSec for banning IPs that probe your server. Don't use passwords for authentication. Don't use root, use another user. ... stuff you maybe already heard of or know. Here is a link to get started: https://blog.codelitt.com/my-first-10-minutes-on-a-server-pr...

If you knew this already, sorry, I wasn't sure where to start.

Maybe use a Hoster that provides 'Snapshots'. So you can safely play around and if something happens, just revert to your last snapshot, so you don't loose your previous work.

If you spin up a server, maybe use cloud config. You can use it to 'bootstrap' your server and let it install your main tools while it gets provisioned.

It looks something like this (HackerNews removes my line breaks...): ####

#cloud-config for installing fail2ban

package_upgrade: true

packages:

  - fail2ban

runcmd:

  - [ systemctl, enable, fail2ban ]

  - [ systemctl, start, fail2ban ]

####

If you start and mess up something, it's handy if you have a cloud init to start a new server and don't have to install the basic stuff again ;-)

How a mistake made by Companies House, a UK government agency responsible for registering companies, killed the 124-year old Welsh engineering firm Taylor & Sons Ltd. This led to Taylor & Sons' business evaporating as orders were cancelled and credit withdrawn due to believing the company had ceased operations.

Is there another article, where we can read the content? Or can somebody summarize the article? I have no FT subscription :(

Sponge Bob!? :-o

I went from 40 hours a week to 35 hours a week a few years ago. ... you can't buy lifetime with money. I got the chance and took it. No regrets.

I did not know, that you can listen to Apple Musik in the browser. Comes in handy in some occasions.

I switched from DigitalOcean to Hetzner. https://www.hetzner.com/

I also use MxRoute. No problems so far. I would recommend it too, if you don't want to run you own email server. Also push works with macOS and iOS.

Confirmed. Download pages are blocked. But reachable via non german VPN servers. Seems like money rules the world - sad...

The information, that it's free for only 10 items is quite hidden. For me, that is not so confidence-inspiring.

1.) Because the first thing I thought was 'what's their business model?'.

2.) Because why not calling it an unlimited Trial with 10 items, to make it clear it's not free.

Don't get me wrong - I like to pay for software, because I want to honour the work of others.
