Name me a case where it was crucial to advancing serious and healthy scientific discourse by comparing one of the researchers a molester. Why would that ever be necessary?

It’s a good use case and the one that got me started. I also have a raspberry pi acting as an exit node in my home which is useful when I’m at the coffee shop or in a hotel.

Not just terminals — I have done videoconferencing via that exit node, and I’ve even worked in a “hybrid” mode where some services are on a tailnet, others are on a company VPN, as we haven’t migrated the company over fully.

I don’t have high expectations for actual screen sharing a la VNC or whatever, but it does work, and my lowered expectations for how well I can work that way not specific to Tailscale.

I used to have the similar service on a 2016 Volvo station wagon.

But the radio module in that car is 3G, and because carriers have been discontinuing 3G Volvo cannot provide their service to my car.

There was roughly 12 months when it was impossible to upgrade the radio in my older model car. Now the radio upgrade is customer-paid and optional.

My point being, if they require the subscription I’d be careful to confirm the service is guaranteed regardless of the carriers and obsolete radios etc.

We're serving git over https using apache2, where apache handles authentication via LDAP. We also serve subversion repos with a similar setup. We use separate web services for search, code review, CI, and issue tracking.

Running this way does involve more moving parts, but every part is relatively self-contained and we can replace one thing without disrupting everything.

[Edit] one other benefit I should add, all the other services like code review and CI are compatible with git and svn, so the development teams have consistent tools regardless which vcs they're running for a particular project.

“Being able to look someone in the eye instead of their navel” is a crude caricature of introversion. It’s exactly the sort of misconception that causes people to assume introversion is a negative trait.

For me it’s rarely software obsolescence that prompts the upgrade. My 2014 MacBook and iPhone 6 were retired due to the battery…

I use the Backblaze client on laptops and desktops, and B2 for NAS backups. No complaints.

Surprised to see nobody calling out ffmpeg as one of the most hostile UIs anywhere

You can also join the Meet in a browser, then under the option memu (...) is “Use a phone for audio”. In that user flow the meeting calls your phone and when you join your devices are linked such that the command-d hot key in the browser will mute/unmute your phone mic.

Tycho also works for me when I’m in that sort of mood.

“Since you know the tech intimately, you’ve probably got a solid deployment strategy that you can easily repeat and debug.”

That’s not necessarily the case though. Just as easily I can imagine the opposite might be true.

I say hi to people on San Francisco, but I don’t get discouraged if some don’t respond. There are all sorts of people with wildly divergent circumstances. I’m not or rushing to reach a conclusion about others (or about the overall fate of the city) just because some people don’t say “hi” back.

With the recent tax law changes, though, I believe a majority of people end up taking the standard deduction because they can’t come up with enough itemized deductions to exceed that. The inability to fully deduct state taxes is a big one, for example.

Strawman argument.

Who is saying the goal is “zero deaths at all costs”? I see governors seriously weighing the costs and risks, and talking about the response when (not if) reopening leads to new flare-ups.

Whitmer: “As we start to very shrewdly reopen (edited: autocorrect) sectors, we’ve got to measure every step of the way. If we start to see a spike, we have to be nimble enough to pull back...”

Newsom: “As we move into the next stage of reopening, we will do so with updated guidance to help qualifying businesses make modifications needed to lower the risk of COVID-19 exposure to customers and workers. Californians should prepare now for that second stage of reopening...”

Cuomo: “This is not a sustainable situation.” However, “You see that you reopen too soon or you reopen unintelligently and you can then have an immediate backlash.”

And so on. I concede there may be someone out there arguing for “zero” but I don’t see the goal of even the more aggressively locked down US states being “zero”.
