Jellyfin has explicitly asked that people find other places to donate to: https://opencollective.com/jellyfin/updates/were-good-seriously

I’ve used 85GB of the 128GB of my current phone after using it for 2 years and never deleting anything. I suppose if I took a lot more video I might burn through it quicker.

Yeah, I understand - fwiw, RNZ is the national (government backed) broadcaster, and has an explicit mandate to elevate the perspectives of iwi. Black Sheep specifically has done a few episodes about the musket wars and land confiscation that really don’t pull punches.

Another that might fit your brief: https://www.abc.net.au/listen/programs/stuff-the-british-stole - from the ABC, and for the most part does a really good job of setting up the story with some historical context, then letting the people actually effected tell the rest

If you are interested in different culture more than different language background, https://www.rnz.co.nz/programmes/black-sheep might be interesting

Iosevka is my personal favourite, but will need to spend some time scrolling through

Don’t do this. This is going to trip alarms on any half decent IDS, and your net admins are busy enough without having to write up a report to go to the HR people deciding if they are going to fire you for breaking the computer use policy

My 18 month old really likes Bluey (and tbh so do I) but I’m a little bit scared for when she starts expecting me to buy into games as hard as Bandit does

I’ve not heard any out-and-out horror stories, but I’ve got no first hand experience.

I’m planning on picking up 3x manufacturer recertified 18TB drives from SPD when money allows, but for now I’m running 6x ancient (minimum 4 years old) 3TB WD Reds in RAID 6. I keep a close eye on SMART stats, and can pick up a replacement within a day if something starts to look iffy. My plan is to treat the 18TBs the same; hard drives are consumables, they wear out over time, and you have to be ready to replace them when they do

Sounds like a great idea - I suspect the biggest obstacle will be finding someone at the home who is confident enough in what to do with it to be willing to accept it.

I’ve run into similar issues with schools where they are hesitant to accept donations of things like that because they don’t want to be saddled with equipment they don’t know how to use and maintain. Maybe worth seeing if you can raise a bit of money for a second hand Xbox or something?

Because accountants mostly.

For large businesses, you essentially have two ways to spend money:

• OPEX: “operational expenditure” - this is money that you send on an ongoing basis, things like rent, wages, the 3rd party cleaning company, cloud services etc. The expectation is that when you use OPEX, the money disappears off the books and you don’t get a tangible thing back in return. Most departments will have an OPEX budget to spend for the year.
• CAPEX: “capital expenditure” - buying physical stuff, things like buildings, stock, machinery and servers. When you buy a physical thing, it gets listed as an asset on the company accounts, usually being “worth” whatever you paid for it. The problem is that things tend to lose value over time (with the exception of property), so when you buy a thing the accountants will want to know a depreciation rate - how much value it will lose per year. For computer equipment, this is typically ~20%, being “worthless” in 5 years. Departments typically don’t have a big CAPEX budget, and big purchases typically need to be approved by the company board.

This leaves companies in a slightly odd spot where from an accounting standpoint, it might look better on the books to spend $3 million/year on cloud stuff than $10 million every 5 years on servers

I’d be super surprised if this was western intelligence. Stuxnet escaping Natanz was an accident, and there is no way that an operation like this would get approved by the NSAs Vulnerabilities Equities Process.

My money would be MSS or GRU. Outside chance this is North Korean, but doesn’t really feel like their MO

How’s the rollout of the 10G stuff going? Seems like it’s been coming “soon” for the last couple of years. Not that I could actually make use of 10G down.

950 down, 500 up for $109NZD/month

Not had to do this myself, but any time we are hiring someone technical their CV lands on my desk.

1. Having a portfolio at all puts you in the top 10% of candidates. No, sticking your course assignments on GitHub doesn’t count.
2. If I’m hiring a full stack dev, I’d probably be more interested in seeing a well-developed “thin slice” through all the layers than lots of features - it’s a portfolio piece, you don’t need to convince me to buy it, just that you might be interesting to talk to.
3. No matter what you do, I’m probably going to ask you to defend your technology/design/architecture choices, partly to see how you react to criticism, partly to see if you can talk intelligently about things.
4. Personally I’m a pragmatist, so I’d probably rather see that you’ve gone and found a suitable ORM/front end framework/… and used it sensibly than written everything by hand yourself (a builder who insists on forging their own nails isn’t a very good builder), but be prepared to talk about the tools you’ve used

If you are a tech company everything you do is R&D and therefore subject to tax breaks.

I don’t tend to print on glass, but this failure mode isn’t surprising - repeated heating and cooling, plus the mechanical stress of the PETG slightly contracting as it cools will create microscopic cracks the build over time until the sheet fails

That remains to be seen. Ukraine is largely Trump’s fault, and flushing all the progress made with Iran will have consequences for decades
