js was a mistake

something

the most concerning part for me is the “LA woman” charge… is that just a restaurant?

mates used to do that, tastes worse and it’s a bit disgusting (that creepy black oil 🤢)

been 6 years for me. it lasted a long time but their shadow fades away eventually. I’m living in peace now

stay strong, survivor

unfortunately it is complicated… the reason modular is more expensive is because manufacturing and logistics become much more difficult and they lose the opportunity to sell new phones every year claiming new features. it’s a double loss for them.

our consumerist culture makes it difficult for people to realise this, but most of the time we are not paying the real cost of products (the modular question, also sustainability, ethical questions). we tend to complain about the expensive one, when the cheap one might be the one to blame because it’s simply shifting the cost away from the companies and costumers.

if the market ever moves towards modular phones, hopefully a few years later you could be able to do that you’re suggesting

never used it for that. not a fan of talking to machines

that’s why I hate that I cant reassign it… outside of the alarm thing, it’s just a disabled input

their home address, social security number, face, email, phone number, passwords, their emails and texts, etc could be out there for anyone to see soon or may already be

this part is important and few people talk about this. your data is indeed for faceless companies eyes only, but for now.

you’d have to blindly trust all big datas’ security practices and that they won’t be leaked any time in the future, either by an inside agent or by a security vulnerability.

once upon a time we did the same to our online accounts and used the same password over and over, only to find they were stored as plain text waiting to be leaked…

the neatest thing about pixel phones for me was the squeeze to snooze… I’m hanging on to my pixel 3 because of that, since I constantly need alarms and to postpone them for medicines etc. they removed it on pixel 5 onwards and no other phone seems to have it

a big shame that it doesn’t allow you to assign it to other things though … google sucks

fairphone allows this. it has its own issues though

not to mention that every single thing your browser is displaying has actually been downloaded. it’s conceptually impossible not to be the case…

yeah. I have the feeling that this story is way too common. which is very telling of how much the system isn’t driven towards innovation as many claim. we brag a lot about human ability to pass down knowledge via written language and turns out that most information passed down on some of the highest tech industries is done verbally or not at all! lol

yep, agreed will all of that

in any case, I never been somewhere where this is properly done to the letter (from an individual’s or managerial’s perspective). not that I REALLY care tbf, I just do my part to the best of my knowledge and fly away hehe

sharing actual text makes it searchable and easier to archive for the future

Pretty much any subdomain will go to the nginx server and it will only do something if youve configured that subdomain in the config - everything else just gets ignored, or you can setup a catchall to handle all the unconfigured stuff

so you will need something like this (might not be exact, been a long time since i had to configure NGINX haha)

server {
server_name ha.mydomain.duckdns.org;
location / {
proxy_pass http://hostnameOrIP1:port1;
}
}
server {
server_name nextcloud.mydomain.duckdns.org;
location / {
proxy_pass http://hostnameOrIP2: port
}
}

an easier way would be to use Nginx Proxy Manager which gives you a nice GUI to add and manage all the sites.

[-] thunderbox666 « 1 point 2 months ago Anything that has a web service, such as nextcloud or home assistant, can be setup on a domain or sub domain

So you would setup the domain (for example let’s say you have myhome. duckdns.org) to point to your server running nginx reverse proxy, and then configure all your services in there

So you might setup homeassistant.myhome.duckdns.org and point it to the internal address you use for home assistant, eg http://192.168.1.15:8123

Then you might add nextcloud as nextcloud.myhome.duckdns.org to point to https://192.168.1.15 These can all be on the same machine as nginx reverse proxy or on another machine all together

Some of these services might also need extra configuration but most will also have guides on their site on what you need to configure to work with a reverse proxy

great post

I don’t think I agree with you, replaceability depends on a lot of factors, really.

I’m a lead dev who works mostly in test automation and dev ops. I can assure you that no matter how much and thoroughly I document and share knowledge (I’ve became known in my company for that since every piece of doc has my name somewhere on it lol) I can’t see anyone around there being able to fully take the reins if something happened to me.

in my case, it’s a mixture of talent crisis in the industry, lack of interest/expertise in the field and my own company’s culture (that doesn’t value these infrastructural subjects enough). I bet other people from different areas in tech might share different reasons

but all in all, being irreplaceable is hardly an employee’s fault. if a company can’t manage to lose an employee (or lets people get away without documenting/sharing knowledge) it’s entirely their own fault!

to me, that’s one of the biggest tragedies of our time. there are several catastrophic problems to be fixed worldwide and yet we send some of our most brilliant engineers to silicon valley to work on advertising companies
