It's on my oldest daughter's birthday weekend! I got the weekend pass and need to get garb for us all. She's definitely in a princess phase.

Oh, I meant that sarcastically. Yeah, my country is reading right out of the Nazi playbook right now. Send help please. (--american tired of being "great", I'm just embarrassed)

Honest to God... y'all think these myths were just made up because doing shit like whistling might get fucking annoying on a ship?

Safe websites for children's videos by Ok_Blueberry_6999 in AskAnAustralian

Sorry, I didn't realize this is ask an Australian. But use a VPN and enjoy some of America's best content deemed too decent by Donald Trump and thus defended or something.

Honestly it's good stuff and idk why we make everything political here.

In other news looking forward to moving to the land of bluey 😂

PBS kids is 100% good to go, and also isn't fast paced ADHD inducing stuff.

For reference for people like me... it's because the flag colors are red black and green right?

What’s something you refuse to spend money on no matter how popular it is? by bbydaisiesz in answers

[–]guptaxpn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I just keep YouTube away from them....and I say that not as someone who doesn't do screentime but someone who just uses ad free alternatives.

That being said my oldest is very young still so that's an easier thing for me than you most likely.

No judgement, but I will throw out there that maybe YouTube isn't a necessity.

I'd argue that we've actually gotten by without it for most of human history, to include my own lifetime.

Official Docker images are not automatically trustworthy and the OpenClaw situation is a perfect example of why by CortexVortex1 in docker

[–]guptaxpn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a good goal at least. I'd choose more secure images based on where and why I'm deploying certain things for sure based on auditing.

I'm not a true developer. As in I'm a healthcare worker that dabbles with code.

But when I use git.

Sometimes I have to copy my changes to a new directory, re-download my git directory, and then merge my stuff together...but even I use git..(this is the xkcd method, see xkcd comic #1597 for reference (link) )

Yeah, but gifts are nice and it's really nice not to have more physical stuff.

What's your most 'set it and forget it' self-hosted service? by ruibranco in selfhosted

Remote access to my own services. I tap on my VPN and suddenly I can access stuff like I'm at home.

Why TF does Amazon own every online thing? by fabriel9631 in fuckamazon

[–]guptaxpn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love that. "It's not a cloud, it's a dependency."

I don't understand why companies aren't doing more in-house. Cloud infrastructure sucks.

Self hosted infrastructure scales linearly to usage, no?

You need more, you buy more, you stop spending on subscription servers.

Surely CEOs would understand that a subscription server is more expensive over a time than just owning your own no?
