I got 135 blocks via sshguard over the first 12 hours today. So, yeah, welcome to the Internet! 😄

You could ask the people in your union to help you survive, oh wait…

I pay the FNV (a sort of union of unions here in the Netherlands) because they kept taking the government to court because the government wasn’t following its own laws… and they kept winning. They don’t help my job because I’m in IT and class consciousness hasn’t reached there yet, but someday…

Which is why I push back when people complain about employees at non-profits making a decent salary.

If you can make 10% more working at a for-profit company, then you are asking people working at non-profit companies to donate 10% of their salary. So unless the person complaining is donating 10% of their salary to charity, they don’t really have anything to complain about… 😅

Nature isn’t open access right? So we can’t know why…

Neither of the buttons says “original resolution”.

Maybe it’s time to disengage from Lemmy if it’s impacting your mental health so much. Take care, comrade.

I’m basically okay with that? The average age where people first have sex has been rising, but it’s still less than 18.

The Palestinian genocide is produced by the policies of an American who has been an academic for 40 years? 🤔

Garber said that “a great deal” of what had initially been labeled antisemitism was ultimately anti-Israeli bias, which he called “insidious and maybe more corrosive of University life.”

The Israeli government deliberately confounds anti-Zionist and anti-Jewish sentiments. They do it to make criticizing their actions more difficult, but ultimately they put Jewish safety at risk because all Jews become targets, regardless of whether they support Zionism or not. 😞

They seem pretty cheap in the Netherlands, at least from Ikea:

I guess that induction could be cheaper, but the cooking experience is really terrible. I think for a few hundred Euros it would never be worth it. 🤔

The current right wing thinking in the USA is that Europe only cares about renewables since it has no fossil fuels. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The right wing in America kept trying to pass anti-abortion laws for decades even though they were obviously unconstitutional, and here we are…

Kubernetes storage is the reason I was looking at Minio in the past.

I mean, people in a town I lived in were upset because kids from the next town over were using the public swimming pool. This was in northern Virginia, so not liking people from another village anywhere in the world hardly seems strange.

Not the death panels I was expecting, but somehow still unsurprising.

As a programmer I mostly hate AI written software.

But I do think it’s great that non-programmers can do a lot of things that they never could before.

There’s a bit about those on the Wikipedia:

There used to be restrictions on a hostname.

These had to start with and end with a letter or number, and have only letters, numbers, or a dash. (I heard that originally hostnames had to start with a letter, but 3M got that changed. This might be an urban legend.)

That’s a common restriction for a name still.

Things get funky when you want non-ASCII names - like if you want a cyrillic or Greek name - as registries often limit the allowed characters to limit “isomorphic attacks”. That’s where you use symbols that look the same to trick people into thinking they’re going to another site, like using a 0 instead of an O, or a l instead of an I.

None of this will apply to the XYZ domains that give you a number.

One other issue that might impact you is if you try to connect using only a numeric name. Some tools will interpret such a name as an IPv4 address. Easily solved by using the full name, but weird and confusing if it happens to you unexpectedly. 😅

I believe that the prosecution cannot call witnesses not on the list, but that the defense has more leeway?
