Should’ve used Papyrus

Pihole let’s you set up groups so you can always exempt certain devices from blocking if that’s the issue. Otherwise you just need to go to your router and change the dns server to your pihole ip

What advantage is there is changing nameservers? Is it just the centrally manage DNS or something else? I’m fairly new to self hosting and only serving locally for now.

I do know cloudflare uses the same nameservers PER ACCOUNT so if you’re wanting to have multiple domains but keep one or more connections separated from you then this does draw a minor connection to a subset of Cloudflare accounts with the same two nameservers

This gives some better context. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21553327/why-is-except-pass-a-bad-programming-practice

But essentially ignoring every single error a program could generate is not great. It’d be better to know what those errors are and fix/prevent them from occurring in the first place.

Id set up a static website with Hugo. You can preview and build locally. Or put it on your home network and vpn in if you need remote access to make an entry.

In your content folder you could do content/[year]/[month]/[day]/index.md, and have a _index.md in the year and in month folders so there would be pages with automatic collection of articles under that year/ month. You could also subdivide the content folder into health/ general/ shower thoughts and other “types” of journals

They have support for tags, categories, and custom taxonomies. So if you wanted to have “people” category you could, and then a “thing” category or any other sort of way to tag the content.

So i recently learned that counting cards isn’t illegal-- its just that casinos will kick you out for counting cards. I’m sure that’s obvious to some people, but it was new to me. what i find interesting is that you can play a perfect game counting cards and still have a smaller chance of profit than the casino gets against normal people, yet they’ll treat you like you’re doing something illegal?

Fuck casinos, especially online ones.

Still a decent post to raise awareness about vendor lock in i guess

Given the timing i suspect this was the article that drove the change. It was shared quite a bit over past few weeks.

“how do you know someone [does crossfit, is vegan, uses linux]”

“They’ll tell you”

It’s a fairly common joke and seems to get stapled onto any lifestyle choice that someone likes to talk about

If you haven’t already, check out https://choosealicense.com/licenses/ . This gives a broad overview of the common open source licenses. And if you’re just starting out, one of the first things you’ll want to learn is that the licenses fall into either a permissive or copyleft category. You’ll want to make sure you understand the difference between those broad categories.

Shortly, permissive have less to no strings attached to use their code, and copyleft requires you to retain the same licensing terms meaning if you publish under GPLv3 then someone using/ modifying your code needs to also publish under GPLv3. Copyleft licenses ensure that open source code stays open source.

Don’t worry. The chances of zwift having major updates and breaking anything is small.

I’m mostly joking, but they’ve been around for a decade and not a ton of progress to show for it

Sounds like this was “resolved” on HN and CEO said this was an error, but I’m not so sure. The CEO’s response seems to imply that that communication to/from service reps is true and not made up. The original post shows they have a business practice for cases like this. Plus if the company was willing to settle from their business practice of 20% down to 5% (which in this case was 15k) then that very likely isn’t a decision a service rep could make, so you had some mid to upper level manager make that approval to write-off the $15k and decide that $5k was still owed to the company.

As far as I can tell the only error here is that someone posted about it.

Not to mention the CEO’s response from HN just says this shouldn’t have happened on free accounts, but that begs the question of would this have been any different on non-free accounts where Netlify failed to mitigate a DDoS as advertised?

Active DDoS mitigation

Netlify monitors for traffic pattern anomalies and spikes, and effectively controls for them as needed.

So is this just a lie? I have never used them and after this post I’m not going to be trying that anytime soon, if ever

The “angie” fork shares the same problem as nginx run by F5: it’s run by a for-profit corporate entity. Even if it’s good enough now, things might change unexpectedly, like it happened with F5.

My general dev experience is limited mostly to python but with pandas one thing you can do is set up a jupyter notebook so you can run just the parts you want until it’s working as expected, then you can move it over to your python script when you’re ready.

But working with pandas does get easier with practice. If you’re wanting to dive in a bit more, the “getting started” page has a tutorials section which features a 10 minute high level overview, a cheatsheet, and link to some community tutorials.
