it (need) inversely scales with the size of the company.

you need jack-of-all-trades when youre starting out, proof of concept type stuff or your business is just niche and tiny. you sometimes cant just immediately pay for every role.

as the company grows you replace each hat worn by that one individual with a laser focused employee who can do it better.

eventually, the jack is out of hats.

Does anyone know of software that already provides topic-level blocking out of the box without needing long manual lists?

yep, reddit, facebook, twitter…

we were 2 inches away from not having to deal with any of this nonsense.

cant pull out all the stops on militarization without a de-facto declaration of war.

the war on drugs, now with more war!

sometimes… the 911 operators had machines that connected to a shitload of audio sources simultaneously… think all emergency service radio bands (police/fire/sheriff) as well as the land-lines and cellular networks… this was back before texting to 911 was a thing.

i was always testing external radios and phone sources. the cell providers were the worst (at the time)… sometimes 911 would work for Primeco but not Verizon or whatever so each cell provider had to be tested independently.

it was just weird first doing it as i grew up terrified i would accidentally dial 911.

i got a job working tech support for 911 and had to make test calls regularly from different sources

the fediverse is incredibly public.

its like having your own little radio station broadcasting into the void. once those waves hit the air you cant take it back.

deletes/edits are niceties… but the fact is you put it on the fediverse and everyone else gets to decide what to do with it.

theres only one party that thinks hunger is a political issue.

anti-science. anti-facts. anti-humanity

the regressive party strikes again

Dudes got 1.5 billion. theyre good

yes my world will burn when they crack into my jellyfin instance and magically break out of its docker container and then what? goo nowhere on its vlan?

literally thousands of self-hosted jellyfin/emby instances and the support forums are just chocked full of people getting hacked via it! so many!

oh wait, no there arent

oh noes! im so ddead!

eh, maybe. for me it was opening a port and adding a dns record. took me all of 4 minutes

im kinda lucky in that my isp uses ‘sticky’ ips so while its not static, ive had the same ip for 5 years

friends don’t let friends use plex.

its paywalling yourself

im a firm believer in task appropriate stuff… 24/7 server apps should be on a dedicated server box… network storage should only perform storage tasks. i wouldnt use a primary workstation also as server cuz i want to do crazy shit on my workstation. i wouldnt ever want to interfere with my ‘production’ stuff on the server.

ive been quite happy running a headless server and various nas boxes for storage redundancy… my home related i.t. tasks are very minimal now that everything is solidly automated.

https://fedidb.com/ is good for picking an instance with a substantial user count and shows how long the instance has been running.

id love to get that domain and rebuild it with mbin

kinda sad that the party that wears the american flag like a fucking life vest literally hates democracy.
