I’ve seen some of the nicest vehicles on the planet waste everyone’s time doing this stupid maneuver and I’d gamble they all had rear cameras too.

This sounds like a fun problem to solve as a developer. A web application could be written that:

  1. Takes incoming requests from the UI (presumably SearXNG-like in appearance)
  2. Hits multiple instances at once
  3. Proxies the results from the fastest successful instance

If SearXNG offers an API you could even ditch the proxying of results. If you got really fancy you could store stats on which are the fastest/slowest and act on that in the future.

Probably why Donnie loves the poorly educated.

…and block all their domains! Just because you’re not on Facebook doesn’t mean Meta isn’t tracking you. See Pixel Hunt from The Markdown.

This one is the absolute worst in my book. Does anyone talk like that irl?

I made scraps for a couple years when I first started in the industry but landed a pretty sweet job on a whim. I say keep an eye out and be sure to have a decent portfolio (though admittedly mine was nowhere near perfect)!

I thought my entrance test was far too easy, I only had to create a blog in my web framework and show doing the basics like validations, secure parameters, etc.

I learned later on that most couldn’t pass because they came from other languages and thought they could get by without knowing anything.

For the sake of argument let’s say that’s true. Who’s considering locking people up right now?

I’m getting tired of this “everything is the Democrats’ fault because they lost the election” theme right now. News flash: Trump is the one doing this because he’s the one in power right now.

More generally turn off or limit cellular data on an app by app basis. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

When was the period reset? This always throws me off too because I forget you need to reset the counters manually.

The day I can re-encode losslessly without a bigger file is the day I consider doing this.

 

I’m an American sick of being taxed by the dysfunctional US federal government and am looking for ways to reduce the amount paid as well as increase my contribution to society. I’m not looking to reduce state taxes.

How can I find out the amount I can donate to charities each year such that it reduces my federal taxes as much as possible for my income level?

 

I have a complex Tailscale-based network setup that includes blocking all Google hostnames. Unfortunately RCS on iOS doesn’t work when sending photos.

I’d like to set up a Tailscale App Connector using hostnames, but if they’re using IP addresses I can work with those as well (subnet routing).

I’ve scoured AT&T’s website and App Privacy Report on iOS (which doesn’t show DNS names for Messages, Phone apps) but I do know they switched to Google as their RCS provider at one point.

Update: Resolved by allowlisting rcs-copper-us.googleapis.com specifically, but I also added all of telephony.goog to unblock rcs.telephony.goog. A simple tcpdump got me the DNS requests for those domains.

 

I’ve been running into several problems with restoring MySQL backups. Namely, the backups come from an environment other than the one I’m working in and I’m forced to remove superuser commands contained in the backups.

The problem is when trying to remove those commands I’m constantly getting UTF-8 encoding errors because there are loads of invalid character sequences.

Why would MySQL encode a backup as UTF-8 if the data isn’t actually UTF-8? This feels like bad design to me.

 

It was too hot so I adjusted the thermostat temperature settings this morning for my smart home. Now it’s not too hot.
