As for what it's for, it could be anything. Possibly just for the camera that's also on that pole?
Yep, I'm genuinely unsure if the conversations actually happened or not. I've gotten different answers to that from different people.
As someone who is currently hiring: Anything
Beyond that it depends on what you know and what kind of work you want to do.
At work we have a contractual design deliverable that was due yesterday, I still can't get anybody to tell me what I'm supposed to be designing/building. I've got the contract, but its so vague that it's more unhelpful than it is helpful and there's apparently been 9 months of conversations with the customer, none of which have included engineering, nor has anything from them been written down. So we're designing something just based on rumors.
So we're in crunch mode, but also we don't know what we're trying to accomplish... 😩
They may block IP addresses associated with consumer ISPs. Assuming that's the case, I would guess you're seeing that as an HSTS/TLS error because their network is trying to trick your browser into redirecting to/displaying an error page hosted by some part of their network.
Hey, this might be something I'm interested in, but I'm not sure because there aren't many details in your readme.
Some questions I'd suggest you answer in the readme:
[Edit: after looking through the code quickly, some of my questions probably don't male sense because this seems to be an alerting style monitoring tool, not a observability style monitoring tool. Answering my own questions for others that are curious:]
What does it monitor?
[Disk space and CPU use]
What is the interface? Web? It does compare itself to grafana, so maybe. TUI? Maybe that's what makes it more light weight?
[It doesn't have one, it sends telegram messages when alarm thresholds(?) are hit.]
Does it only work on Debian? If not, are there deps that are required that are installed as dependencies of the deb?
[Looks like it should work anywhere, the 'watchers' use the nix crate and read procfs, so I assume that means it should work anywhere without depending on anything besides the Linux kernel.]
Is there history or is it real time only?
[Realtime only, well I guess there's the telegram history.]
What does it look like? (Honestly, a screenshot could possibly answer most of these questions and a whole lot more.)
[It doesn't look like anything. There's no screenshot because there's nothing to screenshot.]
[edit: To be clear, I assume the part that OP is not sure if it's satire or not is "or switching to a more privacy-conscious browser such as Google Chrome."] The emphasis in
Firefox is worse than Chrome
is in the original. To me that clearly implies that they are of the opinion that in general Google & Chrome are worse on privacy than Mozilla & Firefox. The comment at the end is just tongue in cheek snark alluding to the fact that in this particular case google did better for privacy in Chrome than Mozilla in Firefox.
or switching to a more privacy-conscious browser such as Google Chrome.
Definitely satire, the context from earlier:
- Firefox is worse than Chrome in their implementation of ad snitching, because Chrome enables it only after user consent.
Attached: 1 image So this, from Firefox, is fucking toxic: https://mstdn.social/@Lokjo/112772496939724214 You might be aware Chrome— a browser made by an ad company— has been trying to claw back the limitations recently placed on ad networks by the death of third-party cookies, and added new featu...
Unless you're working with people who are too smart, then sometimes the code only explains the how. Why did the log processor have thousands of lines about Hilbert Curves? I never could figure it out even after talking with the person that wrote it.
C was originally created as a "high-level" language, being more abstract (aka high-level) than the other languages at the time. But now it's basically considered very slightly more abstract than machine code when compared to the much higher level high-level languages we have today.
I am still interested to know the details of how they came to this decision. Why Signal instead of Matrix.
AFAIK, signal doesn't federate, There is no "signal server-to-server" protocol. When people say "The Signal Protocol", they are talking about a cryptographic protocol, not a network protocol.
As for why they wouldn't use Matrix, I would assume it's just too heavy of a protocol for the scale they operate at. IIRC, Matrix isn't just a chat protocol. It's a multi-peer cryptographic state synchronization protocol. Chat is (was?) just the first "easy" application they were going to apply it to. (Now I'm curious if they still have plans for that at some point.) They've been making great strides in improving the efficiency, at least in the client-server API (I haven't been paying attention to the server-server API at all), but it's still going to be a heck of a lot more compute heavy than whatever custom API they're providing.
I've never been an SRE nor had to deal with super demanding giant corporate customers, but that seems exceptionally insane.
Serious suggestion: would the terms of your SLA allow you automate those emails to customers? Then you'd only have to actually deal with replies from customers. (Who I assume aren't replying in the middle of the night.)
Interesting, I swear I've done exactly this before and didn't have DHCP troubles, but that was like a decade ago, so I might be misremembering.
You'll want to bridge your WiFi and Ethernet interfaces. As always the Arch Wiki has instructions for setting up a bridge interface, there's multiple options depending on how you have your network setup on your system: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/network_bridge
Tell them if you have to go back to the office, you quit.
Nah, never say "or I'll quit", you just say you won't go to an office. End of statement. You don't make any sort of threat or give them an ultimatum, just set your boundaries. Make them fire you, if you're valuable and/or well liked odd are they won't and you just get to keep working remote.

IMO, the best free option is https://freedns.afraid.org/. The biggest downside of that one is that you have to login a couple times a year (IIRC?) to keep it active. I actually still use this even though I have a paid domain, I just CNAME my real domains to the afraid dynamic name. That was easier than changing the config every time I become unhappy with my domain registrar and have to reconfigure everything after swapping.

I'm curious to see what information I'm blasting out to the various services I depend on for internet (ISP, DNS, probably Cloudflare, etc.).
Are there any easy to setup, entirely self-hosted tools I can run on my home network that would allow me to snoop on my own traffic.
I want more than just DNS, so I'm not just looking for pihole and its ilk. I want to see things like SNI and any non-protected traffic that any of the devices on my network might be sending that I just don't know about.
Ideally, it would be something I could leave on without affecting my speed/latency, but something to turn on occasionally and spot check would be better than nothing.
My router runs VyOS, so I should have quite a bit of flexibility in what I do with my traffic, though I never have figured out if/how to deploy custom software to it...

FDA approves multiple generics of ADHD and BED treatment
I count 13 generic manufacturers: search lisdexamfetamine on https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/ob/search_product.cfm
That may seem like an oxymoron, but I'm looking for some sort of server that I can self-host where I can edit blog posts and whatnot, but that then deploys to something like neocities (or any other pure static host).
I'm not finding anything, but maybe it's a thing and I just don't know what it's called?
The important part:
The current shortage of stimulant medications is the result of many factors. It began last fall due to a manufacturing delay experienced by one drug maker. While this delay has since resolved, we are continuing to experience its effects in combination with record-high prescription rates of stimulant medications. Data show that, from 2012 to 2021, overall dispensing of stimulants (including amphetamine products and other stimulants) increased by 45.5 percent in the United States. According to a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report, particularly during 2020-2021, when virtual prescribing was permitted on a widespread basis during the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency, the percentages in certain age groups grew by more than 10 percent. We are calling on key stakeholders, including manufacturers, distributors, pharmacies, and payors, to do all they can to ensure access for patients when a medication is appropriately prescribed. We want to make sure those who need stimulant medications have access. However, it is also an appropriate time to take a closer look at how we can best ensure these drugs are being prescribed thoughtfully and responsibly.
Stimulants are controlled substances with a high potential for abuse, which can lead to addiction and overdose. Therefore, there are limits (also known as quotas) set by DEA for how much of these drugs can be produced. However, for amphetamine medications, in 2022, manufacturers did not produce the full amount that these limits permitted them to make. Based on DEA's internal analysis of inventory, manufacturing, and sales data submitted by manufacturers of amphetamine products, manufacturers only sold approximately 70 percent of their allotted quota for the year, and there were approximately 1 billion more doses that they could have produced but did not make or ship. Data for 2023 so far show a similar trend.
We (DEA and the FDA) have called on manufacturers to confirm they are working to increase production to meet their allotted quota amount. If any individual manufacturer does not wish to increase production, we have asked that manufacturer to relinquish their remaining 2023 quota allotment. This would allow DEA to redistribute that allotment to manufacturers that will increase production. DEA is also committed to reviewing and improving our quota process.
A room-temperature superconductor would be the single biggest discovery since the transistor, so take this with a grain of salt until we get some independent reproductions. But, if true, this is world-changing.
