It's $100. In 2023 that does not even cover groceries for a middle class household of four for a week.

If you want to advocate absolute austerity to someone who has no expenses yet - go for it. Me? The world is shitty enough as is - of something's going to make you happy, and you have no other expenses, go for it.

Don't spend your money because it's a " good deal". In theory your guardian(s) are covering the expenses the rest of as as adults just accept. Therefore take advantage and spend your money on what brings you joy.

You being up an interesting point. Let's expand electricity a little bit.

If I flip a switch the lights come on. I don't need to understand it but someone does. And because electricity can be deadly of handled wrong, everyone in your proximity handles electricity the exact same way (and this is enforced via law). This means only a few people anywhere need to have the deep knowledge of how it works for the rest of us to get light.

Compare this to computing - sure you click the button and get Facebook but that button could be designed any number of ways. Like electricity the generation who tinkered is past (well passing), but unlike electricity firm standards on how to design your Facebook button have not been written in blood.

I for one am terrified of what the next 10 years of the business IT landscape is going to look like as we need to start absorbing kids who grew up on iPads.

As someone who manages a tailscale network at my work...I just want to point out that tailscale is a tiny bit more complicated than just downloading and installing. Not much but...

That said the ability to automate wireguard connections is wonderful and everyone should check it out.

So counter point. Active directory is a god send for managing endpoints, user accounts, endpoints, etc.

No you don't let windows act as a dns server outside the ad subdomain, no you don't use windows to admin your root private ca, and for all you hold dear do not enable that God forsaken web server. But for what it does well, it's the best solution out there.

Just to pile on. I've seen devs throw out the entire git history when moving between repos for ongoing projects.

Yes? If you don't like your clutch? Mid 30s in the PNW. Now to be fair, one of my cars is an ev, the other is a cvt transmission.

Interesting footnote about p and q. You see them turn up on formal logic proofs (for philosophy)

We've got it rigged up for aws sso. Each department can make any number of permissions sets (and link to any number of groups). The config for that is all stored in git (with code owners configured so you can only mess up your own stuff).

Fyi. If your IT department is remotely on top of things - they know. They just might have larger fish to fry.

We can see all kinds of things about any devices that log on to check email, connect to the VPN, etc.

So I'm using it with Python. For me it's able to do some stuff that terrafom never would be able to (Ive got a spot where resources are generated for each file/object on disk).

I'm a native English speaker so take this with a grain of salt.

Usernet? If memory holds there are a few German language indexers.
