Yeah and why doesn't anyone worry about quicksand anymore?!

I have worked for one truly amazing leader in my time. He earned my complete 100% trust and commitment. I don't think its possible to fully get the value a leader can bring to a team until you have a really good (or great) one.

Could that be a bit of a hasty reduction to make based on one post in a shitpost comm?

haha maybe so!

Could be because OP is a known linux hater who likes to stir up arguments about it

wait are you saying this is a shitpost

WhatI've noticed is that people who prioritize privacy and just want to watch their downloads on their tv usually use jellyfin and people who prioritize ux slickness and want to run an IPTV service for their friends and family usually use plex.

Honestly, I wouldn't even consider using it unless it were reviewed by a professional cryptographer. There are already battletested options that don't require a phone number or sharing info with a company. For that, I like XMPP with a client that uses OMEMO for encryption.

ugh this one time i was visiting a friend in nyc. maybe like 2010. she takes me to this party and i see this guy there wearing a limewire shirt. so i go up and ask him bro do you work for limewire? he says "naw man but i used to" and my mind is blown so i ask him what it was like and he thinks for a sec and then he says "it was wild man" and i didn't even know what to say after that.

You drink a drink and you eat an eat. Like in the show Good Eats.

Based on the description and rules, I had thought NSQ was for genuine questions you don't know the answer to and may feel stupid asking. For example, "How can I tell if a carrot is safe to eat or spoiled?"

Rules 4 and 5, to me would preclude the kind of validation or discussion seeking posts where the title is an opinion question and body is an essay answering the question and asking for reactions. However, as you point out this actually seems like the majority of posts lately.

I thought those type of posts goe in !asklemmy@lemmy.world which says it is for "open-ended, thought provoking questions" and has a rule clearly stating it is not a support community. Yet the mods/members there seem happy to take and answer general support questions.

Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems like a pretty common theme in the Threadiverse that most community mods are more interested in post activity than strict rule/topic keeping.

nice try fbi

No, only the official google clients do link hijacking. Thunderbird doesn't do it.

It is a misconception that the Privacy Rule creates a right for any individual to refuse to disclose any health information (such as chronic conditions or immunization records) if requested by an employer or business. HIPAA Privacy Rule requirements merely place restrictions on disclosure by covered entities and their business associates without the consent of the individual whose records are being requested; they do not place any restrictions upon requesting health information directly from the subject of that information.

The restaurant business in the USA is a total scam from start to finish and here is why: There are multiple ways or "systems" to run service in a restaurant.

Most places outside the USA use a team service system. This means that the service team is trained to do all of the front house roles: taking orders, delivering food, making drinks, clearing tables, etc. They all trade off doing what is needed at any given time. This makes two things possible: Having a much smaller staff and paying them all a living wage, regardless of how many customers come in that day. It also means that there will not be anyone constantly interrupting you to try to up sell you more items. If you need something, you are expected to signal a staff member. No tipping is expected or needed.

In the USA by contrast, they run a system where a much larger staff is needed because the servers are acting like commissioned sales people. Each server focuses on a small number of tables with the intent of getting them to spend as much as possible. In exchange for this hovering continuous sales pitching, you get to also pay for the server. You have to because the USA system requires it. An owner cannot afford to over staff on their own so they get the customers to pay for it, on top of the food prices. The myth is that this system encourages better service because of tipping. The reality is that this system encourages constant up sells and manipulation to get you to spend as much as possible because the tip will be a percentage of that bill.

Is a professional audit the only thing that counts, or does open-sourcing the code so people can poke at it move the needle at all on its own?

To me, open sourcing the code is a move in the right direction but it doesn't make up for a professional review of your encryption system.

The thing about encryption is that there are many subtle ways to get something wrong, even when just implementing it with a well known and trusted library. I took a deep dive course on Designing Secure Encryption for Practical Use and while I learned a ton from it, the main take away for me was that I shouldn't do it if its intended for serious use. At least not without expert reviewers.

Regarding XMPP, it's architecture is like email. Anyone can stand up their own server and your User ID looks like an email address: user@chatserver.org. Like email, you can send messages to anyone on any server if you know their ID. Phone numbers are simply never involved.

OK hear me out, so I've been out drinking but I had this idea. You need to know when the save is done, right? Assuming you are on linux, you could use itnotify to alert you each time a save completes of your gimp files by ringing the console bell. Then you know you can't quit until you hear the bell.

I don't know if it would work. Maybe something like this

#!/bin/bash  

# Target directory to watch (where the gimp files are)  
WATCH_DIR="$HOME/Projects"  

echo "Listening for completed GIMP saves in $WATCH_DIR..."  

# Monitor for files closed after being written to  
inotifywait -m -r -e close_write --format '%f' "$WATCH_DIR" | while read -r FILE  
do  
    # Check if the modified file is a GIMP file (.xcf)  
    if [[ "$FILE" == *.xcf ]]; then  
        echo "Finished saving: $FILE"  
        
        # Trigger the system bell (or substitute with an 'aplay' command for a custom sound)  
        echo -e "\a" 
    fi  
done
