Yeah, I missed the custom allocator at first. I thought I deleted my comment fast enough, but I guess you were faster. :)

That’s only true for the high-end Pi 5. Lower-powered models like the zero 2 are still cheap, and they’re a lot easier to find than a few years ago.

They aren’t very useful for much besides hobby projects. Modern hardware is more energy efficient and will be cheaper in the long run compared to anything that would be considered e-waste. The only advantage an old laptop has is the initial cost, so it makes sense for a small home server.

You forgot the /s so I’ll pretend you’re being serious:

Of course you can debug the kernel drivers, it is open source after all. But it’s always easier to start with a working system and change one thing at a time to isolate any issues that might come up.

Intelligence is the ability to avoid doing work, yet getting the work done.

Because 99.999% of the time the hardware you’re buying is different from the hardware you have prior experience with. Even if the model numbers are the same there could be a change in hw or fw revision that breaks compatability with whatever drivers you previously had success with.

Is this what they call FAFO?

Not entirely true… If you write libraries for other developers you can use them as beta testers. Your customers have a production environment, but you don’t. At least, that’s what one of our vendors seems to think…

If they send 2 emails per subdomain per year, that could easily be 10s of millions which would make the cost per email measured in thousandths of a cent. And I could see the number of subdomains being larger by a factor of 10, maybe more.

Another angle: someone with IT experience needs to manage the system that seems emails, and other engineers need to integrate other systems with the email reminder system. The time spent on engineering could easily add up to thousands per year, if not tens of thousands.

I’m guessing their figure is based on both running costs and engineering costs.

You don’t have to ship a second OS just to containerize your app.

If you have a spare pci-e port you can get a card that adds a USB controller. Some m.2 ports also have a pci-e channel you could use with an adapter.

LetsEncrypt is a good option if you want to set it up yourself. More work than cloudflare though.

There’s a lot of data out there about software engineering salaries, but not as much for cybersecurity professionals. How do cybersecurity salaries compare to SE salaries?

And you lose access to “your” site if they go out of business. Sounds a lot like renting, not sure where the “ownership” part comes in.

The vulnerability was discovered during a pwn2own competition. The competition was endorsed and probably sponsored by Synology. Not sure what the problem is?

You might have misunderstood what I meant by “clean up before the PR.” None of the temp commits should end up in the main branch, where people would be bisecting.

Line the other commenter said, there’s nothing wrong with committing temp/untested code to a feature branch as long as you clean it up before the PR.

OP: asks for advice about IRC

just_another_person: only stupid and lazy people use IRC

…

just_another_person: why doesn’t anyone appreciate how helpful I am?

Quoting my previous comment:

Why move an entire community to matrix if IRC works fine?

In other words, why “fix” it (and risk fragmenting the community) if it ain’t broke?
