Even if you don't need to? Even if there's no benefit?

I was handed a vibe coded project recently, a radio station playout system. For some reason, it's spread across 8 different Docker containers. One container has just Icecast in it, for example.

It's a private system that runs a single station on a dedicated server that we have full control over, but because of all the containers, it's harder to do common tasks like check a log or edit a config file.

OTOH it's a godsend for setting up a local dev machine or something like that, where you need to run different vendor provided packages. but I'm tired of all the mindless over-engineering (which unfortunately the LLMs trained on).

If the slop wasn't bad enough, halfway down the page you get a newsletter signup lightbox - the use of which ought to be a felony in my opinion.

Parks and Rec reference?

You used to be able to connect Google Voice to a specific brand of ATA (and existing connections still work); that would have been perfect for something like this.

Did those machines have public routable IPv4 addresses or something?

50 users???

The "no cameras/no phones" rule is absolutely enforced in Harris County, Texas, although as an election worker I have never seen this escalate beyond "Please put away your phone". Workers are to ask the voter to put it away and if not done so immediately they are to notify the election judge (top official for that location/precinct). Judge will approach and ask again and cite the actual Texas law and show the voter a posterboard with the law printed in at least 4 different languages.

At this point, if the voter has not checked in yet, we can refuse to do so. Either way, if the phone/camera is still out after the judge has asked and shown them the law, judge is to immediately call the constable's office (police), who have been positioned nearby (but never directly at any vote center, due to possible intimidation). The constable can and will remove the man from the vote center. (It's never escalated that far!) (arresting that voter for any length of time might be problematic on election day for obvious reasons).

The most common complaint is "but I wrote up all my selections on there!" and for these voters we can provide a paper "sample ballot" and even a pen and they are free to mark their selections outside of the room and then come back to vote on the machine. One location was a church that was even gracious enough to allow a gentleman to AirPrint his notes.

Also of note, we do not have any kind of a "booth", however, the machines are typically placed rather far apart, and no one is allowed to queue at or near the machines, or linger there after voting, so I believe that privacy is effectively maintained. (Workers including judges are not even allowed to linger there unless assisting a voter who has specifically asked for help, and even then, there's more rules - if the voter needs help actually making the selections for candidates, now you need at least one judge and one clerk, one of whom must observe and ensure that the voter's selections were made correctly.)

We also got rid of the problematic "digital only" machines several years ago, but this post is too long already.

You can change the screen resolution and make the notch go away (along with all of the other pixels to the left and right of the notch).

For the love of God, or cake, or whatever - PLEASE remove the "smooth scrolling" code from your site. It completely fucks up all pre-existing expectations on how a mouse wheel or trackpad is to operate.

I don't think you have to subscribe to Amazon Prime in order to rent movies. Same thing with Apple TV (formerly the iTunes store). For whatever reason though this distinction is not well made.

I LOOKed at the MOVIE, and so did my friend DOT, and we came TO the same conclusion that it's not working as specified.

Minimize seeding on torrents. I've still gotten a few strikes from various ISPs though. Some ISPs seem to care more than others, in my experience.

The RAM got corrupted?

Don't forget prepaid Visa/MasterCard too. (Maybe grandma still sends a $20 every birthday.)

I quite like the parts of the code that prevent random electric shocks, and the parts that keep the roof from caving in, etc. (I assume you meant building codes)

The forthcoming mass deportation will definitely fuck shit up though. UK is having a similar issue due to Brexit. I guess Eastern Europeans are to the UK, as Mexicans/etc. are to the US?
