Kinda suspected this was coming when this happened less than two weeks ago.

Honestly that’s good to hear. I’ve run into some devs who are completely mystified on how to connect to a remote database and couldn’t tell a socket from sandwich.

Just keep trying to justify your own lack of competency I guess. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In my experience, a lot of software dev degree paths basically don’t even have relevant classes on hardware at all. Classes on hardware are all in IT Helpdesk and Network Admin degree paths whereas the software dev students are dumped straight into Visual Studio right off the bat with no relevant understanding of the underlying hardware or OS.

I am not OP but I actually have similar questions on backup because I didn’t have access to my Immich server for a few months and got really behind on keeping it updated. I want to make backups before I do a manual update, but I don’t know if following the directions on Immich’s Backup and Restore page is good enough or if I should handle it another way manually.

So, are you a masochist in other aspects of your life, too?

The video worked excellently, just so you know.

And even with alternatives, corporations own all the infrastructure. There is no publicly owned and operated infrastructure anymore.

My data still has to pass through their pipes, and if at some point they decide they don’t like my data, they can just block it from going through their pipes entirely. Coupled with deep consolidation of ISPs, it means effectively being blocked from communications on the internet.

Because we dropped community communications in favor of corporate communications for two.

Bring back barb wire phone networks.

They’ve given you a name, and taken away your number.

Just be careful running a Tor node and what kind of data could be flowing through your machine… It’s Tor… so some of the data can be pretty fuckin unsavory while other data can be political dissidents who need safety.

*Looking at the senior devs JavaScript code

My God, it even has a watermark.

Maybe just need new executives entirely since the ones they have often seem consistently out of touch with the userbase.

Yes (with the caveat that it’s still tied to Google) and yes (de-googled)

1. It could be sold to someone who is a worse steward of web standards than Google

2. It could lead to Google exerting far more influence/control on Firefox while still funding Firefox.

I’d say those SMART attributes don’t look great…

Uh oh.

Well played!

Infinite loop.

Accurate.
