That's effectively what git does.

It's the free VPNs that are the problem. They are privacy nightmares.

Because OpenVPN is fiddly to set up and modern Wireguard setups seem to scale well enough.

You must make the source available to anyone you distributed the binaries to. Where in Red Hats TOS does it say they will sue you? As far as I understand it the reserve the right to terminate the service you are paying for. But your rights to source for the binaries provided are not affected.

So a network version of an acoustic delay line?

I daily drive Debian and I switched to Trixie once the tooling freeze kicked in. Now the release is stable I'll be able to enable backports for the few bits and pieces I like to have the latest packages for. Generally I want a rock solid base and I can always use flatpak/snap for more recent apps.

Currently my kids can only watch YouTube on a shared account on the TV. They haven't been exposed to any of the gift stuff as far as I can tell but we do regularly weed the history and subscriptions to keep it vaguely on track. While each of the kids have their own favourite creators we also have found a number of educational and comedy channels we'll watch with them on the account.

The bigger challenge comes with homework as once in secondary school the teachers regularly link to YouTube videos as an intro to a particular homework topic. Although their accounts are registered as kids accounts under our indirect control I keep having to move their pc out of the restricted group on the router because for some reason Eero prevents some videos from playing which from my point of view are fine. I dread to think what parents who aren't comfortable debugging network failures do, probably drop restrictions all together in frustration.

Directors have a fiduciary duty to the shareholders and that includes a legal liability if they don't do their job. That said if the chairman has a controlling majority of the shares they can run the company into the ground if they want to as it's their money to waste.

Generally if you want to bring investment into a company it will come with strings attached like nominated seats on the board of directors to prevent this sort of thing. Voting shares can be different normal shares or there can be several share types with different levels of voting rights. However the structure of the shares will be disclosed to the board and for a publicly traded company this will be public.

You have to ignore the obsequious optimism bias LLM's often have. It all comes down to their training set and if they have seen more than you have.

I don't generally use them on projects I'm already familiar with unless it's for fairly boring repetitive work that would be fiddly with search and replace, e.g. extract the common code out of these functions and refactor.

When working with unfamiliar code they can have an edge so if I needed a simple mobile app I'd probably give the LLM a go and then tidy up the code once it's working.

At most I'll give it 2 or 3 attempts to correct the original approach before I walk away and try something else. If it starts making up functions it APIs that don't exist that is usually a sign out didn't know so time to cut your losses and move on.

Their real strengths come in when it comes to digesting large amounts of text and sumerising. Great for saving you reading all the documentation on a project just to try a small thing. But if your going to work on the project going forward your going to want to invest that training data yourself.

Well Trump had a go in his first term but unsurprisingly didn't get far.
