Fuck if this isn’t the truth… Saying this as a Sr. SRE with no degree or certs.

I only access banks electronically if they accommodate Tor.

So they know when you logged in and what you did when you got there. So you can’t escape it there.

The bank only gets to know my physical location when I do a transaction where that’s unavoidable.

So you can’t escape this either.

Even if I were to carry a mobile phone on standby wherever I go, the bank would get nothing from it if I don’t run their app.

They would get nothing except the time, location, amount, business, and how that relates to the other purchases you make and all the data those transactions generate as well. That data is shared with the bank, Visa or MasterCard, and all credit reporting agencies. This is unavoidable too.

You are not getting out of this unless you allow it to seriously affect your life.

Oh great. Let’s beat this dead horse a little more.

I was like 6 when my grandmom suggested we rent The Amityville Horror. I slept with the lights on for a week.

I don’t think it would bother me now if I rewatched it but I’ve also never wanted to rewatch it… I guess take that for what’s it’s worth.

My man… You are not getting around the tracking. It’s never going to happen. Unless you literally toss everything with a network connection and disconnect from the electric, gas, and water grids, you are going to be tracked.

I use Resilio Sync. It uses a modified bittorrent protocol. You don’t need to open any firewall ports or anything like that… Really simple to get going.

This is a sync took though. Replication is not the same as backups. This may or may not be for you depending on the goals.

Who cares.

Enjoy it. A night out is now cheaper.

Don’t overthink this. Just start using something.

My eyes rolled back in my head so hard I gave myself a concussion.

The FOSS absolutism is exhausting.

Most of this thread reminds me how unbearable the open source community can be.

I’ve been using Fleksy for years but there are some apps that don’t work well with it. Notably, Connect for Lemmy. Backward swiping for deletes only does one word at a time and up/down swiping for managing autocorrect doesn’t work either.

There are a few other apps with their own quirks as well. 90% of the time it’s great though.

Those new key bindings and editor thing in github. I wish I could opt out and just get static pages.

The Yggdrasill from Hyperion.

The one from The Fountain was kinda similar. It was unique enough to stick with me over the years anyway.

I don’t know if Ringworld really counts as a ship but I loved that too. The Out Of Band 2 from A Fire Upon The Deep seemed like it would be pretty baddass. Or the alien ship from Rendezvous with Rama.

Mostly as kodi/plex front ends. I’ve set them up as a kubernetes cluster in the past but they didn’t have enough ram to run my torrent client. Now I just use an old Thinkpad running talos.

I still don’t really see the argument. OpenTofu exists because of internal drama about licensing on a tool that you don’t use…

Someone building a different banana picker that looks just like another banana picker doesn’t need to explain their reasoning in terms a coal miner would understand…

Also, literally just clicking the intro doc linked from the main page tells you everything you need to know…

If you’re asking why aren’t DevOps/SRE mentioned specifically on the OpenTofu front page, I don’t think you understand how common this software is… Like if someone forked Google, you wouldn’t need to describe what Google is. Everyone already knows it. For the people in this industry, terraform is essentially a defacto monopoly. Even if you don’t use it, if you’re working in SRE, you know what it is and what it does.

Yeah this is just not for you. In the DevOps/SRE space, EVERYONE knows terraform and most of those names will be recognizable to the people most deeply involved in using/managing terraform.
