I tend to go back and forth between Go and Python. Typically for work stuff I am writing AWS automation utilities though so I’ll opt for Python because Boto3 is lovely. Go is typically for my personal projects.

I’ve also been itching to try my hand at Rust, but haven’t brought myself to start yet.

My SO just had something similar pop up yesterday. She was running into weird errors on her Chromebook, so I had her change her user agent to Chrome on Windows. Everything magically worked. Hmm…

Your partner has an impressive bank account.

As much as a lot of that hate it warranted, I’d say the install location isn’t so much a Teams issue as it is a Windows issue and how it handles user-level vs system-level installs. Obviously still a Microsoft problem, but important to note.

Ah, neat! Yeah that would work then. I’d hope that your usernames are unique in your self-hosted setup, so that should work just fine. Very nice!

Hmm…this should work but I do have a concern on it based on my experience with AWS. Maybe this is different with minio though.

In AWS, S3 bucket names are globally unique. Not just to your AWS account, but across ALL S3 buckets period. So let’s say you have a username of “test” and use that policy. If that user attempts to create a bucket and that bucket name is taken, well that user is out of luck.

Obviously if minio doesn’t require globally unique bucket names you’re probably fine, but otherwise this could realistically become a problem.

I have to wonder what is going through their heads to think this would be in any way helpful to their cause. It’s literally saying “hey I’m screwing you out of money in the name of Trump.”

That’s definitely going to win over prospective voters.

Yep, this is key. If you’re getting a bunch of malicious traffic from one source, that’s easily fixed. Just drop the traffic.

But when that traffic is coming from hundreds or thousands of sources, that becomes much harder to address. Can you just drop traffic from those sources? Sure! But then you also risk dropping legitimate traffic.

There are also services that can automate the detection and prevention of DDOS attacks such as CloudFlare and Akamai, but these can get expensive very quickly, so it can significantly increase the cost to running the instance in question.

That’s where I’m at. I use it regularly for learning new things and for entertainment, so I don’t mind paying for it, and getting rid of ads while supporting creators is perfectly fine with me.

You’ll have to pry my root access from my cold dead fingers!

jk…take it. I’d rather not have to worry about OS-level shenanigans anymore.

Same. I used to pay for premium even though I was an Apollo user. I paid because I liked Reddit and thought it brought me value.

Now I’m only keeping my account to ensure my posts and comments stay dead as best as I can.

If all the employees are in a union, you can’t get rid of all the unions without getting rid of all the employees.

Same, though I guess maybe? The public posts and comments make reddit more valuable. Private messages don’t.

That being said, I’m calling incompetence on this one.

Because my ability to disappoint may be faster.

Wow, this is the first time I’ve seen a meme so accurately describe my week!

Oh what’s he up to now?

Yeah I thought it meant “potentially unwanted apps.”

Completely accurate picture of me.

Somebody give this guy a goddamn phd.

Important question time, and ChatGPT wasn’t able to help here. A friend of mine was talking about some neighbors he had in an apartment building that smoked an impressive amount of weed, and that it changed the atmosphere.

For some reason I had immediately thought of “wow they replaced earth’s atmosphere with just weed smoke.”

So now for the question. How big would a joint have to be to accomplish this?
