To be fair, that’s one of the worst tunnels in any city. I’d rather drive into NYC.

Yes, this is standard in the forgery business - dust and speckle filter, drop the res, ensure the light is balanced, and maybe blur if you can get away with it.

The thing that changes this is good public transport. Not buses - buses have a mindset issue. Subways, light rail, and bikes for the last mile.

I would think the build system would only build the binaries or other compiled source. The CI pipeline would build and test.

BGP and DNS survive due to relative obscurity, despite everyone using it in some way. Web devs do not give a shit about BGP (sadly.)

It's not "hopeless to manage", learn some networking and be forever rewarded. Same with learning to manage devices, servers, etc. I develop now but I'd be much less valiable without that background.

Amen. I find generic scripts to be way more mangemaable. You can still use them with docker, but you can also just buy any Linux VM and go.

Also, easy to backup.

Just firewall off all management interfaces and allow via IP as needed. It's still possible your webserver will get become vulnerable, but you'll prob here about it here if it is.

Isn't it so relieving now that the pendulum is swinging back?

I'm so glad I moved into C# and non-web dev/management and got out of that rat race. Tech always swings back and forth, but I'm so very happy to have made it past SPAs being the end all be all.

It seems fairly obvious once you trace the funding on a lot of nodes. Plus that court case that got dropped with the child porn guy - they dropped it because they refused to show how they found him. 0day most likely.

Then you still get a FAILED: meson-install Permission denied: '/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/LV2' error, so change INSTALL_DIR_MAC in install.sh to~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/LV2 and install via the github page
