Taking donations for a specific purpose (developing jellyfin core) then spending it on something else (donations to other related projects) is something donors and tax authorities generally frown on
pg_dumpall on a schedule, then restic to backup the dumps. I’m running Zalando Postgres in kubernetes so scheduled tasks and intercontainer networking is a bit simpler, but should be able to run a sidecar container in your compose file
You, know what - this might actually be useful. People were complaining about not being involved in decision making, so I have to run a monthly meeting where people will either sit contributing nothing even when asked a direct question, or insist on bike shedding the most unimportant details. If the meeting is a bunch of AI homunculi then it’ll be quicker at least
I’ve been going through updating all of my accounts (passwords, 2FA, etc.), and I’ve noticed that there are a lot of sites that don’t offer any form of MFA....
it takes engineering time which is not a trivial cost - accounts and identity for large orgs tend to be a lot more complex than you might think - there will likely be a few different identity stores, and multiple systems that query those stores; making sure every possible permutation works correctly can be a bit undertaking
It adds additional load to their support teams which is very expensive
The support one is a real killer for a lot of places; I’ve worked with a place that had a few million paying customers, and ~half of those were in a tier where a single 30 minute support call would completely negate any revenue that that customer would bring in for the year. Email support was slightly less expensive, but would still be a significant proportion of your annual profit
Fun fact, a significant proportion of the people doing these scams are victims of human trafficking who are being forced into it with threats of violence
I once worked a really shitty retail job with someone who was hired on a 6 month fixed term as extra staff over Christmas peek, then got really salty with management when they declined their leave request for all of December and the first half of January so they could go to a rich person party town with their friends for the holidays.
The best part was when they turned back up at the end of January wondering why they weren’t getting rostered anymore.
A Ministry of Education official has admitted the alternative model for the government’s free school lunch programme is unlikely to be as nutritious as the previous programme, RNZ understands....
So I went to a hospital the other day and was told I have a de-deductible of $3,000. I am not sure how much my insurance paid (if anything). At some point I have to talk to the hospital about payment and I want to talk them down to accept a lower amount. I do have some savings to offer, but I would like to get them to agree to...
Does it make any difference (quality-wise and input-delay-wise) if I use a DisplayPort to HDMI cable directly or a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter, followed by a regular HDMI cable?
Edit: from the other answers, I’m probably wrong - maybe don’t trust this as correct
I don’t think so - HDMI and Display Port actually carry their signals in the same way, so the adapter is basically just converting between two plug types without any smarts in the middle.
In theory you could get an adapter that is badly made and adds some noise to the signal or something and forces the monitor to down-spec it’s signal but I’m not sure how likely that is to come across.
Has anyone ever given any thought to trying to capture all the floodwaters that seem to be increasing lately, and moving them to the more drought affected areas?
On top of the logistics of moving massive amounts of water around, flood water is typically highly contaminated - by their nature, floods sweep up everything in their path, which typically will include things like:
Soil and sand (a massive pain to filter out)
Agricultural run off (manure, pesticides, fertilizer, …)
Raw sewage (from treatment plants that tend to be near waterways, or just from damaged infrastructure)
Industrial wastes (from existing plants, or old contaminated sites)
Infectious disease is a major problem after a flood, partly because of infrastructure damage but also just because so many people will have come in contact with contaminated water - you don’t want to irrigate your crops with flood water, much less drink it

Was the same deal with pinball in the US at one point iirc - a bunch of places tried to ban pinball because it was seen as being the same as slot machines, until a professional player got a machine in front of the supreme court and repeatedly called his shots to prove it was a skill game
