Oregon State University Open Source Lab is running on fumes - Shakeup in US higher education funding means FOSS incubator is short a quarter of a million bucks
It reminds me of the PowerPoint my company had.
It was this graph showing how many tech people they have since 1960, and the numbers kept multiplying.
How they rated tech people was someone who works behind the computer. So yeah, as we gain more employees, we tend to put them behind computers to do work?
Joplin. I have it as a sync server. But have it tucked away in a cloud server for the times when I’m traveling so j always have a way to access data in case my phone gets stolen/confiscated.
This is pretty neat!

Sounds like you need both the audio and the ebook to make it work?
I typically only have one or the other.
GitHub - bugfishtm/bugfish-nuke: A Windows tool for emergency privacy: instantly deletes sensitive data and active logins to protect my information during unexpected searches or house warrants.
Web app where you can Create 3D models from images
Lots of comments here saying it feels like work. And yet all the simulator games exist? People literally build rigs on their living room to play Truck Simulator games.
I don’t work with rest apis enough and looks great. My only concern is that like everything I do, I end up building a UI and automation. Which might be the point!

And I proved them wrong.
Ah not to discount devops, I mean that in a good way.
Devops made me lazy in that for the past decade, I focus on just everything inside the code base.
I literally push code into a magic black box that then triggers a rube goldberg of events. Servers get instanced. Configs just get magically set up. It’s beautiful. Just years of smart people who make it so easy that I never have to think about it.
Since I can’t pay my devops team to come to my house, I get to figure it all out!
I shared it because, out there, there is a junior engineer experiencing severe imposter syndrome. And here I am, someone who has successfully delivered applications with millions of users and advanced to leadership roles within the tech industry, who overlook basic security principles.
We all make mistakes!
Haha I’m pretty sure my little server was just part of the “let’s test our dumb script to see if it works. Oh wow it did what a moron!”
Lessons learned.
The latter. It was autogenerated by the VPS hosting service.
You’re not wrong! Devops made me lazy
Now that you mentioned it, it didn’t! I recall even docker Linux setups would yell at me.
