Probably because they used to be part of education machine for how dangerous guns were - and that, by far, firearm fatalities from suicide account for over half (58% in 2023) of gun deaths.

But now, with an administration that politicizes everything - and ignores any evidence of facts that dispute their goals - they’re turning the tables.

Note: am not American and also own several firearms. Was surprised when taking our country’s requisite firearms safety course that the overwhelming focus was on self harm and reduction of those risks. (And since we’re here - it’s shocking how many gun owners immediately assume I’m far right leaning just because I’m next to them at the range with a firearm in my hands; no friend healthcare IS WAY more important than this tool.)

Now that is truly incredible engineering. Thanks for sharing!

It also sounds like a horrifying accident.

Society is always changing. We have a choice in how we change it.

These technocrats are so entitled they don’t GAF about consent. “If you’d only relax you’d see how great it feels.”

The note here makes it clear (link at the very top of the GitHub readme doc): https://github.com/markqvist/Reticulum/blob/master/MIRROR.md

The author intends to work at their pace, on their time, with no interaction with the public projects.

Likely, and this is supposition, a small group of developers connected on the network itself will push the project forward where pushes are needed but they may not be.

But also, the very rare and important consideration that, in their words, “Everything you need is right here, and by any sensible measure, it’s done. Anyone who wants to invest the time, skill and persistence can build on it, or completely re-imagine it with different priorities.”

Hello random Lemming! Just wanted to thank you for this. I consider myself pretty well versed in tech and had not heard of Reticulum. More importantly, reading the docs it feels like I’m reading the writings of someone I agree with on a fundamental level - even about their departure from the public project.

Going to give it a whirl.

Again thanks

I was a paying customer for over 10 years and it just got worse and worse. I quit several years ago and haven’t looked back.

As it turns out, I love and I have always loved cycling and don’t need anyone else to see that.

I’m not saying that anyone else should behave the same way, you do you, but it was so freeing to just ride for the love of riding. No more “600m of circles” to make it to 200k, no more kudos to every workday commute, just the open road (or trails) and the freedom it provides.

Yes, I no longer race, but I do privately keep a record of my efforts and rides, but they’re now a side effect of the thing I love - not part of the focus.

The Bun rust re-write.

You’re absolutely right.

I worked on a large(ish) contract (tens of millions) with one of Microsoft’s engineering teams where they were implementing an Azure managed version of software we produced. I would regularly refuse to install teams at the meetings, using teams in-browser only.

It also ensured that the technical project manager had to be the one to transcribe anything in our notes into whatever tools Microsoft was using.

While it was never said, the Microsoft engineers seemed to completely understand and never pushed back against my refusal to a) install crapware and b) not take on work that wasn’t mine.

Not using teams: win win.

It is owned by Lenovo, make of that what you will.

Google is also basically American. Make of that what you will.

It’s weird when anyone quotes Leviticus (or any Old Testament verse) in the context of it directly applying to Christianity.

That’s not the text (or philosophy) Christians are asked to use by Christ. Think of it as a wild and lascivious prologue that’s supposed to prove Jesus was Christ. The prequel so to speak.

Note: am an atheist but considered a life in the church a long, long time ago.

I don’t know what it is on android, but five quick presses of the primary button on iOS will put the phone into a mode where you must enter your password to unlock it.

And what happens if I forget something? So many email addresses and phone numbers to avoid marketing spam… no way I could honestly recall them all.

The current automation guidelines and defaults renew certs 30 days from expiry. So even today certs aren’t around for more than 60 days, it’s just that they’re valid for 90.

Additionally you can fairly easily monitor certs to get an alert if you drop below the 30 day threshold and automatic cert renewal hasn’t taken place.

I use Grafana self hosted for this with their synthetic monitoring free tier but it would be relatively trivial to roll your own Prometheus-exporter to do the same.

“And we know because we’re making a killing on fees on these low-no-negative balance accounts, not to mention their credit card debt.”

And I thought I had finally got the kiffness song out of my head…

His latest album is an impressive work of art; a love letter to Puerto Rico.

It might not be everyone’s jam.

Andreas (lead engineer) has told the story of how he got that money - they just happen to know each other and $100k is peanuts for the Shopify founders.

But you’re right to suspect anything of the sort!
