The only way some IT guy can notice it pinging the outside world is if it’s connected to the internet.
2·2 days agoThanks, I honestly want expecting that kind of a response.
I’m sure there are some who voted out of protest, but only someone who identifies as a Democrat/leftist would vote for Trump out off protest.
Another reason I’ve heard is that Trump doesn’t try to hide his bad side. Democrat (read: neoliberal) policies tend to favor corporations over individuals, and homeowners over renters. Guess which race is more likely to own home and have a stock portfolio?
You didn’t answer my question, have you ever (honestly) wondered why PoC would vote for Trump over a Democrat? You have every right to criticize them, but it doesn’t sound like you’ve put any thought into why they disagree with you. The result is you will say things that alienate and dehumanize them, which is counterproductive.
You’re saying that no sane PoC would vote for Trump, when a significant number of PoC voted for him. That sounds a lot like you’re saying their perspective is invalid and they need to adopt your perspective. Hence, it follows the noble savage trope.
Have you ever wondered why they would vote for someone who openly says racist things?
Not sure which you’re referring to, but here are some links:
Careful, sounds like you’re slipping into the old racist “noble savage” trope. Remember why Biden got backlash for telling someone “you ain’t black” because he had reservations about voting for the democrats?
Not entirely true… If you write libraries for other developers you can use them as beta testers. Your customers have a production environment, but you don’t. At least, that’s what one of our vendors seems to think…

18·6 days agoIf they send 2 emails per subdomain per year, that could easily be 10s of millions which would make the cost per email measured in thousandths of a cent. And I could see the number of subdomains being larger by a factor of 10, maybe more.
Another angle: someone with IT experience needs to manage the system that seems emails, and other engineers need to integrate other systems with the email reminder system. The time spent on engineering could easily add up to thousands per year, if not tens of thousands.
I’m guessing their figure is based on both running costs and engineering costs.
If your server goes down you’ll miss incoming emails, and IMO residential ISP and power service isn’t reliable enough for your main email address. If mail can’t get delivered people get the impression you gave them a fake email address, which can be more than embarrassing.
It’s the only service I don’t self-hosted, although I do backup my email on my home server. Email protocols don’t tolerate downtime, if your server is temporarily unreachable you won’t get messages and people will probably assume the email address/domain isn’t even valid.
4·8 days agoThis doesn’t answer OP’s question, but since other people might be interested, MIT also has free graduate level courses. If you choose to pay for a certificate of completion for the courses then they can also count as credits towards a degree at MIT, Harvard, etc.
61·8 days agoThat seems like a much lower salary than they would get running a for-profit tech company, though. Moving out of SF would also make it harder to hire people with a lot of experience in tech.
Even 5 minutes seems short. You’re already dead, what’s the rush?
Doesn’t mbin federate with Mastodon? I’ve been thinking about moving to an mbin server for that reason…
Sorry, I realized I misread your earlier post. I missed the word “trying,” and it sounded like your were saying the device might not be connected to the internet even though it’s successfully pinging a server.
