  • I would be an asshole to show up to this.

    That’s the part I really don’t get. If you’re cis male looking for a job, do you really think crashing this event is going to reflect favorably on you and that you’d be more likely to land a job? People are going to look at you and think that you have good judgment and won’t be a problem at all? What the heck is the thought process that makes this a good plan?

    Here’s how to fix this[+]

    Create $HOME/.config/user-dirs.dirs with

    XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR=“$HOME/downloads”

    You may need to logout/in for things to reread this file.

    The full list of keys is:

    • XDG_DESKTOP_DIR
    • XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR
    • XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR
    • XDG_PUBLICSHARE_DIR
    • XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR
    • XDG_MUSIC_DIR
    • XDG_PICTURES_DIR
    • XDG_VIDEOS_DIR

    +: Since this is Linux, this is a fix for many but not all cases.



  • I’m obviously a fan of LE but a simple self-hosted option with a custom CA would be great for local machines:

    • I don’t want every Raspberry Pi/laptop/temp VM/whatever published into the cert transparency record
    • Configuring the router to forward every local hostname to the machine’s .well-known would be awful (if my ISP even allowed port 80)
    • Exposing local machines to the Internet is an unnecessary degradation of security

  • But you’re not researching, hiring, and scheduling a contractor to fix it. You don’t need to become an expert in long term planning and anticipate problems. You’re not mentally cataloging basic maintenance tasks like when you last painted the siding or mowed the lawn.

    Home ownership vs renting goes beyond equity and I know a lot of people who were happy renting because it gave them a huge chunk of free time back for trips, hobbies, etc.


  • No one seems to mention license considerations when talking about static linking. Even if your app is open source, your particular license may not be legally compatible with the GPL, for example. 3BSD, MIT, and Apache most likely don’t change in a single binary but it’s kind of a new thing that no one was really thinking of before when mixing licenses together.

    I think this default okay assumption comes from most developers having a cloud-centric view where there’s technically no “distribution” to trigger copyright.













  • Let me return the appreciation for a thoughtful response! Unfortunately I don’t have an equal abundance of time (nor fast typing skills). Where’s the outcry for the parent class?

    Those cube dwellers (labor) are often better compensated and lead more secure, comfortable lives than small business owners (ownership). If you instead frame the problem as income inequality rather than straight up Marxism, I think you’re still naturally led to the tax reforms you’re describing. However, I don’t view that as “anti-capitalist”. It’s restoring guardrails that shouldn’t have been removed under Reagan.
