I’m more concerned about scalability. Hosting video gets expensive pretty quickly once people start signing up and using it.

From hacker stock photos to now weird AI generated thumbnails.

Did you have to do any special configuration, or was it a seamless installation just like a non-mac laptop?

Lol I know the feeling. Sometimes I just say “Oh we already use your product…mind if I grab those socks?”.

“free” for me. My job has conference/training budget that is use-it-or-lose-it, so might as well go for it. You can also talk your way through getting swag without giving up your contact details, or just provide fake ones.

The only other type of clothing with clear, visible branding I own aside from band shirts is tech vendor shirts from conferences. But those I get for free, so I didn’t exactly pay to become their billboard.

Ok, now I’m considering getting AppleTV.

“They’ll execute the baby!”

Right, but the distros employees are allowed to use are dictated by corporate IT so they are able to control them and have the required endpoint security tools. So people who prefer linux have very limited options.

Most of our sysads use macOS. A few use linux but they have limited choices with distros and can only use fedora I think.

IIRC, it was because the director thought the audience might think it wasn’t real.

I kinda remember the original caption of the meme saying this person somehow looks like a man, woman, young, and old all at the same time.

That’s some budget airline behavior. If they want to do tha, they should price their flights accordingly.

I mean, if you want to include e.coli to your 10 pounds of bacteria, be my guest. Taking some precautions doesn’t hurt.

Yup, 2-3 teaspoons in a bowl of water. I rinse it with water again after soaking and that washes away any sourness left behind.

It probably doesn’t do much, but I soak it in water with vinegar for 10 minutes.

You might be thinking of pre-packaged salad which, while already washed, can still contain bacteria. But if you’re buying plain lettuce, it’s absolutely not pre-washed.

This doesn’t actually relate to the topic, but wanted to ask anyway since it’s the latest post:

For folks working on cloud environments, do you use an interconnected environment between two or more cloud providers? For example, having a production environment with one provider but federating identity on another provider. I ask because my current job is very silo’ed, as in every component of our infra is with one CSP only. I was just wondering how common it is in the industry.

Storage costs is the biggest hurdle for decentralized video platforms. I wonder how instances will handle that.

Getting the BTS fanbase to switch platforms is huge and can essentially get you millions of users in an instant. I wish Mastodon was in the picture though.
