I started lemdro.id. Pretty cool domain name, right?

  • repairability updates to pixel watch 4 are especially exciting to me

  • Starlink is definitely faster than all but the most expensive GEO services (and those require specialized hardware)

  • there's no fundamental physics limitation that makes this true. in fact, light in a vacuum travels faster than in glass fiber, so the theoretical latency of LEO internet is actually faster compared to fiber over a certain distance

  • Yeah it's an enormous pain in the ass. I don't bother anymore

  • I'm glad it works for you, but this would not work at my company. We have much stricter network controls

  • it's also not always easy to buy those. nobody wants to use cryptocurrency unless it is easy to get cryptocurrency

  • Yeah, go ahead and install your own Linux distro. Now you can't authenticate to the internal network or use any of the services.

    At the end of the day, corporate being able to manage Linux is what makes it possible to be used in an enterprise environment. There are regulatory and auditing requirements that would otherwise make Linux not an option.

  • Many of us find ourselves to be more effective on Linux. There is some business requirement in terms of the service runs on Linux, but they didn't have to let people have it on their personal workstations

  • that's not true if it's company managed

  • I would say service based

  • yeah this isn't necessarily true. I work at a large company and run Linux full time.

    they are not all the same.

    we even have dedicated Linux IT

  • Microsoft can't stop you from signing images with your own keys.

    That's what I do, and it's almost entirely automated on Linux these days.

  • thanks! I've thought about backpacking with a big dog but that would be a lot of food weight. maybe need to get the dog a backpack too lol

  • what does the food situation look like when travelling with a big dog?

    do you just do dry food or something?

  • hey, I love this idea, but we tried it and we kept getting candidates who managed to BS their way onsite and then waste our time ultimately.

    it just didn't work. I really want it to work because I hated live coding too but it just didn't.

    you can make live coding interviews that aren't actually difficult questions and are more about showing that you can think and write the most basic of code. that's what we do now.

  • fully agree. we're actually reintroducing live coding interviews into our process because so many candidates made it onsite who then showed that they didn't really know how to code

  • no! there is GSConnect which is a gnome extension that provides the protocol as well

  • Deleted

    Permanently Deleted

  • right but unless you sign a contributor licensing agreement when you contribute then the copyright owner can't relicense code you contributed.

    so if you contribute to a GPL codebase it's pretty legally perilous to try to unilaterally relicense code that isn't "yours".

    this is pretty nebulous territory anyways, but I'd argue it's pretty unethical to relicense to a more restrictive license essentially "taking" the GPL code from contributors

  • I work with a lot of gen z engineers that are very competent
