I vaguely remember reading something about ATC workers being on average really good at StarCraft 2.

I’m running a Linux server, a Linux desktop, and a VPS host. While I’m far from an expert, I’d like to think I’m in a better position than most people when it comes to this type of solution.

Even then, it just isn’t scalable. First off, I want to just use my remote and have things work. I need it to work not just for me, but for family across several devices. At the end of the day, the $15 a month is probably cheaper than I’d pay just for the electricity of another server, much less the time and effort spent administrating it.

If someone with a lot more knowledge than me could build an ansible deployment that packaged a streaming tool compatible with plug-in casting devices, I’d be on that in a heartbeat.

Not on my TV, unfortunately :(

I’ve tried pihole and pfblocker and several forms of Adblock plus casting, and eventually decided it was worth the $. I’m not proud of it, but YouTube premium is my only paid streaming service.

Whatever you do, don’t be talked into resigning. Don’t sign any sort of severance without talking to a lawyer, either.

Yep, I’ve got catholic extended family that couldn’t wait for Francis to die. Seems kinda un-catholic, but what do I know?

Sure, the Irani regime absolutely deserves anything coming to them. But the US is the one that killed 110+ little girls in an opening strike during an illegal war.

It would be fantastic to eliminate that 50+ year history and beyond that’s gotten us to this point, but you have to admit, cutting their military funding at this point would be suicidal.

And, the point of the OP demonstrating the hypocrisy while America continues to greenlight the largest military budgets in history still stands, even if it’s a smaller overall percentage of GDP.

If the US military kept their targets to military objectives instead of blowing up schools and medical research facilities (though of course the war would still be entirely illegal) I don’t think they wouldn’t be seeing nearly so much opposition. Not to mention the destruction of infrastructure the whole modern world is reliant on.

Edit:

Actually, on reflection I think budget is the wrong word. We’ve seen modern defensive wars fought extremely economically via drones and guerrilla tactics, so maybe that’s not the right take on my end. However, I don’t believe they’d be able to exert the same control over the region without some investment.

Not to mention, all the money invested in those medical science institutes isn’t exactly a great return on investment after today.

Idk, seems like if they spent less on military they’d be quite a lot less capable of fighting off the current invasions.

It would be great if we could all universally stop spending that money on military at all, though

The point is that you get games on GoG without DRM when buying the same game on steam may have DRM. Just because some games on steam don’t have it doesn’t change this behavior.

Even if we say I agree with this, why even ask for a specific year? Separate into child and adult, and let the super user make that change when asked.

In theory I’m not opposed to it existing as an option, but I do not like it being mandatory at all. Websites and applications should never be allowed to know any PII without explicit consent.

I work in Cybersecurity, and have about 4 years experience. I’m currently in a SOC Manager role. Working at an MSP, it hasn’t always been easy to deal with the politics surrounding some of our clients, especially in the current administration.

One of our clients is, at least from my perspective, directly involved with supporting and advocating for genocide. This has been eating at me for months, and finally culminated in me telling my manager I was resigning.

He took it well, and they asked me to stay on for 90 days while I looked for a new job. The issue is that I’m 45 days into this and have barely received a few nibbles from my applications. I know my resume isn’t perfect, but I’d thought my experience would be enough to hear back at least from tier 2 analyst positions, if not the management ones.

They’d probably let me stay if I asked, but my soul can’t take it anymore. But I’m really worried about the job search getting even harder once I can’t say I’m currently employed.
