kubatyszko··on Atlassian fired me while I was taking care of my wife who is fighting cancer
I'll make it simple regarding unlimited PTO: It exists ONLY so that the company does NOT have to pay you for the unused vacation upon leaving, there is NO OTHER reason for the PTO. But yes, creative "marketing" twists it and makes it look great outside...
kubatyszko··on Handheld two-way radios for preppers and other curious folks
FYI, Lcamtuf's callsign seems to be K7TUF.

Enjoy ;)

kubatyszko··on Slingbox Discontinued Announcement and FAQ
Well, that's what happens with ponzi-scheme-like devices. They rely on new sales to sustain their business and I guess the funds are running out...

This and probably all the other aspects of Dish ownership etc.

I know there's a similar device made by Sony, but I recall that you had to be on the same network to actually use it (this may be solvable).

Maybe it's time to make an alternative device. I know there's a way to capture HDMI video on a raspberryPi, hopefully with decent frame rate.

kubatyszko··on Fujitsu announces permanent work-from-home plan
You can actually get a house for free in some areas, mostly central Japan. Many cities are becoming deserted and houses are left alone, governments offer incentives to take them over. Might come with a catch such as committing to maintenance of farming.
kubatyszko··on Fujitsu announces permanent work-from-home plan
Very ironic fact from the past (and an interesting explanation WHY kitchen areas are REALLY well lit in many (older) Japanese homes.

After the war, Japanese USED TO work from home, since there was no other way, and that common area was usually the only one away from bedrooms etc. Then, after the infrastructure starting to recover, buildings coming up, offices etc. Culturally, ALL employees were required to return to their offices. This development also had side effects in making "focused communities" (business of certain kind concentrated around certain area), which made housing expensive and many employees having to live far away - 2hour commute in packed train is nothing unusual, and I've met people who actually don't mind since this is their time between home and work when they can kick back, read a book and "relax".

kubatyszko··on All of Amazon.com today is in Italics – did I miss something?
update, a few min later, it's back to "normal", I guess I caught it in the middle of some change, since reverted. Or I got A/B tested...
kubatyszko··on Red Hat releases new OpenShift CLI developer tool
Prediction: It's only a matter of time they come up with a monitoring suite named ODOMETER !
kubatyszko··on OpenTTD 1.10
Indeed, I had friends who used it (I never did), from what I recall (this was over 20 years ago), the tunnel could not be removed and in some cases would get in the way of some construction later.
kubatyszko··on Uber, Lyft drivers manipulate fares at DCA causing artificial price surges
I've had rides that cost me $15 and took 45 minutes, the math does not add up at all. In fact, I commute with Lyft nearly every day and my average 40 minute ride costs somewhere around $20. Even with another ride directly like mine it's unlikely there's enough earnings within an hour to cover Lyft's fees and pay the driver $20...

kubatyszko··on APFS Distributed FS Like Gluster on ZFS?
Look into moosefs (moosefs.com) - it's somewhat similar to Gluster, it works well on OSX and you could build a pool using all your devices.

All of your devices need a folder where you'd store data, those devices need to run a process called chunkserver (mfschunkserver) and simply add their storage space to the pool.

Mounting the pool is done using mfsmount (uses FUSE).

You'd need one of the devices (or another dedicated computer) to be the master (mfsmaster) that needs to be always online.

The restrictions are that all the machines must see each other over the network - either local lan or routed network (or a vpn where you set up routes).

Moose uses concept of goal and storage classes, you can simply set your files or folders to say goal of 3 and it will attempt to store 3 copies across however many devices (minimum 3 to meet this goal). Storage classes are more complex and allow you to specifically control on WHICH chunkservers to store certain files/folders.

I'm using it across 4 machines, where 1 server is physically in Italy (Milan), another in Los Angeles (in a datacenter) and two more at home (also L.A.). One of my servers at home has 4TB drive so this one always stores everything, plus 2 copies across remaining 3 servers for redundancy.

All I need to do to have my data available to me is to VPN in to my network and run mfsmount on my laptop.
