@iamwo1v @ImSh4yy How is it connected to the internet? Via your broadband home connection? I have 7 servers like that gathering dust in my office. Got them for free and always wanted to host some of my apps on them. Colocation is so expensive.

@ImSh4yy I used to do this until I got a used Dell R720 server

You can rent a $5 VM, drop in a SQLite file and some JavaScript, and have it pay off your bills every month.

Country music looooooves whiskey🥃🤠 Here's some songs you can play for #WorldWhiskeyDay, inspired by your favorite spirit! Tag your whiskey wingman/woman in the comments👇

@lawik For US, is Canada okay? People often use US for North America. Asking for a friend… 😅

A mystery startup that I've worked with wants mid-to-senior Elixir devs in US and EU. I had good experiences, fintech-adjacent, no blockchain, good use of ML. Let me know below if interested and we'll talk: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI… #myelixirstatus

@threehourcoffee He is so cute! Looks younger than 12. Frenchies and Boston Terriers are the best!

Guess which good boy is 12 today?

The new @StackOverflow survey mentions than 18 years old learn mostly from online courses and that's great! I'm old enought to have started from books and the barrier to entry was way higher. Here are my first books:

@lessin If you stay within your limits, it is really rewarding. No sports is safe anyway, you can break a hand playing ice hockey. The family started MTB three years ago, and it helped create bonds between us. We discovered places. Experience fear and overcome these together.

Hot Take: mountain biking is not at all worth it on a risk / reward basis.

Bernie did not miss with this. We have way bigger problems than we think. Fighting with each other is just a big distraction. We need to get to work. We need to join together to fix our nation! #wethepeople

Sick of people calling everything in crypto a Ponzi scheme. Some crypto projects are pump and dump schemes, while others are pyramid schemes. Others are just standard issue fraud. Others are just middlemen skimming of the top. Stop glossing over the diversity in the industry.

Becoming more senior as an engineer isn't so much about the code you're writing; it's more about communication, collaboration, and connecting the dots

Let's discuss Russian economy. Many underestimate its dependency upon technological import. Russia's so deeply integrated into Western technological chains that severing these ties will lead to its collapse. Sanctions are already effective and can be made even more efficient🧵

The 30% gets so much focus, but this is the real problem with the App Store. Until Apple allows alternate means of distribution, they shouldn’t reject any apps except for malware/scams. Who cares if only 10 people find it useful, or it’s the 100th entry in a crowded category?

Back in my day, we used spare CPU cycles for folding proteins and searching for aliens

A typical website visit in 2022 1. Figure out how to decline all but essential cookies 2. Close the support widget asking if I need help 3. Stop the auto-playing video 4. Close the “subscribe to our newsletter” pop-up 5. Try and remember why I came here in the first place

@ajpinedam Oh yeah, they are great. I have a DS-916+ because I do a lot of video content.

I am looking to buy a NAS (Network-Attached Storage) for personal use at home. Do you have any suggestions? I've been reading, and Synology seems to be the most common choice. Is this correct?

@aurelie_schick L’effet shiny/gloss est-il permanent? Je suis curieux, c’est la première fois que j’entends parler de cette technique… BTW, tes miniatures sont extraordinaires.

At the moment I paint a Tyranid Hierophant Bio titan. I used Still Water for the shell. #WarhammerCommunity #warhammer40k #painting #tabletopgaming

Metaverse stuff really pisses me off because I was told my entire life that it is “wrong to live in a fantasy world” and that my hobbies and interests were “unhealthy escapism” but as it turns out all they were really mad about was that my imagination wasn’t properly monetized

Due to the precision of our launch and our first two mid-course corrections, our team has determined that Webb should have enough fuel to allow support of science operations for significantly more than a 10-year science lifetime! 💫 blogs.nasa.gov/webb/2021/12/2…

@klts0 Super helpful accurate infographic for point #3
