I self-host a git site to keep my code private and to integrate an issue tracker. The maintenance effort is very low. I'm running Gitea on my local network Ubuntu server.
Autocleaning: get the last accessed time from a file and only auto-clean files not accessed in the last n hours, e.g. 24 hours? Should be reasonably safe.
It is shocking how many people fail at this. If you were the employee and did not have enough information to perform the task, speak up. You are not going to get in trouble or whatever other type of situation one might imagine for not asking.
What is the point of assigning something to a new hire, if they can't do it without another person watching the whole thing over their shoulder AND they are unlikely to benefit from this knowledge in the future (since it's a legacy page that is supposed to be deleted)?
Anytime a website is created, the information/text to used in the site is provided to the devs. You provide the same data to the QA team to ensure the Dev team did their job.
How are we seriously this obtuse? Is it deliberate?
Instead of snark please re-read the entire comment thread
from the beginning and you'll realize that the scenario you're imagining is completely different from what is being discussed.
I often assign things to new hires because I expect them to approach the question without the biases of long-time team members who have learned to overlook and normalize some bullshit. Either the new person is wrong, and I explain why, and they learned something, or they're right and the existing stuff can't be defended or justified, and I learned something.
Imagine that instead of a forced "Children" account your Netflix would show an account "Thomas" (or any other name which is not yours or your family members') you cannot get rid of. Would that not annoy you one bit? And if not, you cannot emphasize with people who are annoyed by that?
“Children” -> Easy to understand the benefit. ~40% of households have children. Some households which do not have children will have children visiting at times. People taking care of children have an obvious and clear interest in wanting to provide entertainment at an appropriate age level.
“Thomas” -> ??? Who came up with this idea? This is an awful idea. It doesn’t make any sense.
We can empathize with people, but ultimately, we don’t have to agree with their complaints. If you have 300 million customers, there’s no one set of UI choices that annoys nobody. The current UI seems to annoy a very small number of people and, in turn, benefits a very large number of people. Needs of the many, and whatnot. I could equally be annoyed by wheelchair ramps. They’re an annoyance to me, but I recognize that they’re very useful to others.
Not even 802.11ac, and of course no 802.11ax or more recent modes. (802.11ac appeared in 2013). This means that you get about 2 MB/s from it, which makes it completely unusable in 2024.
Ah, even 802.11n is not supported! This is a 2009 standard. So we are left with 802.11a/b, which is 2003. The wifi of 21 years ago.
I'm connecting to remote SSH endpoints for 20+ years and the connection quality actually improved over the years. Some of these connections are not just encrypted text-based stuff, but tunnelled VNC and other more throughput-hungry use-cases for using SSH (than logging into remote text-based terminal).
I'm curious - what do you do, or what use-case do you have in mind, that renders 16 Mbit/s throughput "completely unusable"? I never required 16 Mbit/s throughput for... anything related to my work. It's enough even for high-quality video conferencing.
Using two passports is not always the solution. As a dual citizen of two countries, I also have two passports. A couple of years ago I travelled to Malta with the passport from the country I currently live in. One week later I flew over to Israel, where I used the passport of my birth country. I was extensively interrogated at the border, because apparently the system flagged me to the border officer as there was no record of me entering Malta with the passport I attempted to leave the country with.
Interesting. But, TBH, it seems pretty obvious in the hindsight: it's a huge red flag that the travel history in the same passport is not self-consistent (as a result of using different passports for entering and leaving the same country).
I always wondered if this would get flagged somehow. I've never tried it myself, but I've thought about doing it.
What I was mentioning though is that countries will let you have a second passport from a single country if you have issues like this, to avoid showing the stamps in one passport.
