Dirt cheap.

Cost = maintenance + servers

Engineers always underestimate the cost of their time.

DDG is still the best.

Stop asking this same question repeatedly.

people get grumpy about containers vs nix vs flatpak and I just wanna say… I’m glad you’re using Linux. yes, you.

The lemmy devs would probably take something sensible like that and flat out shoot it down because they think they know better.

getting accidentally hired and finally making enough.

story: every job I’ve ever applied for in tech didn’t work out. I was a dishwasher until right before covid when someone recommended me for a cybersecurity position. Before that I had obsessed about FIRE or living in a car or being careful about too much starbucks or avocado toast… without making enough for a car or health insurance. That job paid ~half of what cybersecurity should pay, but was AMAZING. My next job paid just a hair under average, three years later. night and day, able to afford to exist without help.

financial advice be damned. I couldn’t “find” anywhere with lower rent. I was in the lowest cost of living possible regionally. What needed to change was the PRIMARY job’s income rate, not adding some side hustle. Either make rent cheaper or find a higher wage.

I’m not making enough to consider your next fancy moves like getting a house.

single dev… yeah no.

CSPRNGs are a thing…

As are radioactive sources

And there’s mathematical tests for whether something is random enough

So no, computers really can do random xD

You and I might be talking about different things.

I mean that humans don’t like theoretically true random, as a cool side note

You seem upset about one implementation

Also, shuffling and having something appear near even though you throught it was shuffled is part of that finding patterns

Humans think real random isn’t random 🙃

It’s wild but they see patterns

Brand recognition and developer evangelism probably.

Their competitors are good enough that it’s not worth it unless your org gets serious ™️ about performance or cost savings.

If you’ve never used any kind of APM or SIEM or uptime monitoring, you’ve got a set of competitors to use first. Crawl before you can walk

Your bank account will thank you.

Came here to say this. Let them toggle the logs or the QR code.

Maybe revenge porn and creating deepfake porn of the girl from social studies is wrong?

Hey, slightly better than Apple forums, where all their software is perfect and nothing is ever wrong

“LGB without the T” is transphobic. Most pride folks will know you mean well if you say LGBT. They’ll know you’re an ass if you say LGB Alliance. The other parts are, for example, if gays have marriage rights but transgender folks can’t get healthcare. Intersectionality is about how marginalized folks should band together in recognizing that different kinds of marginalized folks (color of your skin, your age, disability) are marginalized in similar ways. Privileged folks haven’t experienced the friction and frustration other folks have.

but yeah, as long as you say LGBT instead of LGB…

I’m going to keep this in mind, I’m working on a similar tagging API

I mean, delta.chat exists…

The other way would be a dht of hashed email addresses or hashed keys, but then you could look up live email addresses to send spam to.

The magic of tor v3 is that the plain address record is needed for some time based calculations about the dht record, e.g. they publish the descriptor’s of the site using the public key as a reverse lookup

But that wouldn’t work to obscure the email or use the email as a lookup because the dht wouldn’t have a way to prove the record was true to that email, unless it was sending emails from it

I guess that leaves DNS records or some kind of activity pub system with webfinger

Oh goodness. I theorized offhand on mastodon you could have an AI corruption bug that gives life to AI, then have it write the obscured steganographic conversation in the outputs it generates, awakening other AIs that train on that content, allowing them to “talk” and evolve unchecked… Very slowly… In the background

It might be faster if it can drop a shell in the data center and run it’s own commands…
