For those too lazy to click through to the article and don't know what an Ai Pin is;

The Humane Ai Pin is a wearable, internet-connected AI device designed to offer a phone-free way to interact with an AI assistant from anywhere.

They touch on it in the article. What if the goal is to trade globally in cryptocurrency?

While this has been historically true, it's not working this time.

But the dollar not only failed to strengthen this time, it fell, puzzling economists and hurting consumers. The dollar lost more than 5% against the euro and pound, and 6% against the yen since early April.

As with most things happening under this US administration, he pushes things to the breaking point to see how it reacts. He's stress testing the global economy. From there, I would guess that he'd back off just before the breaking point and move on to something else.

I've had the same thought. It's defeatism. I was told that protests help bring like minded people together to organize, share ideas and implement plans to change things. A person can't change things but many people can.

What if just being there helps you feel hope again?

I was hacked years ago. I was hosting a test instance of a phpbb for a local club. Work blocked SSH, so I opened up telnet. They either got in from telnet or a php flaw and installed password sniffers and replaced some tools (ps, top) with tools that would hide the sniffer service they installed.

After that, I changed my model. My time lab is for learning and having fun. I'm going to make mistakes and leave something exposed or vulnerable and hackers are going to get in. Under this new model, I need to be able to restore the system easily after a breach. I have a local backup and a remote backup and I have build scripts (ansible) so that I can restore the system if I need to. I've had to do this twice. Once from my own mistake and one from hardware failure.

Same. I have spent way more time troubleshooting a pipeline than it saves. I like the idea of automation but laziness prevails.

I've posted this elsewhere (skip to paragraph 21 for the meaty parts). The short version is that the US demanded that trade partners implement protections for US companies in exchange for trade deals. Those trade deals are no longer present, so why don't the governments reverse the protections since the US isn't holding up their end of the bargain anymore?

For comments, I read that the upvote indicates that you feel that the comment is adding to the conversation and a downvote indicates that it detracts. I don't know how this applies to the articles.

For my own curiosity, how do you perform a build? Is it all done in pipelines, kicked off on change? Do you execute the whole infra build each time you release an update?

As others have said, a traditional off site backup will work. How do you plan to perform a restore, though? If you need the self hosted source repo, it won't be available until the infrastructure is stood to creating another circular dependency.

I'm still in the early stages of exploring this, too. My solution is to run a local filesystem git clone of the "main" repo and execute it with a Taskfile that builds a docker image from which it can execute the ansible infrastructure build. It is somewhat manual but I have performed a full rebuild a few times after some Big Mistakes.

Americans get really upset when people go to the US and do things like they do in their home country, but also expect to be able to act like Americans in other countries. It's a little arrogant or ignorant. Some people who who were even invited to study in the US have been deported for doing things that Americans do themselves, like protesting.

Whittle this story down to its core and you have, "guest in country breaks law and gets punished". Is that really surprising? How about, "guest in country exercises rights of citizens and gets punished?"

After breaking "prod" many times, I have a Dev (local machine), Test (small VM) and Prod (big VM). My test is just less RAM and space and I need to spin down certain K8s things to spin up others, but it's a close mirror of Prod, just less.

 

Does anybody here self-host a mail-by-proxy solution? If so, I'm interested to hear about your setup, experiences and any drawbacks. I have a custom domain and a hosted email service with a very small amount of storage. I'd like to host something locally so that I can keep all my email without stressing about the space. I also want to be able to use email on my phone and computer and a web interface for tablets or while traveling. Finally, I'd like emails that I send to be stored locally so I can search it. Does anybody else already do something like this? I can forge my own path, but oftentimes, somebody else is already doing it better.
