I got asked the same. I simply pointed out the test is a reproduction of last week's bug that took down prod at 2am and got paged to fix, and is therefore as realistic as it gets of what they'll need to be able to handle.

It's always DNS, everyone should know that.

I went through hiring several times at several companies, being on the interviewer side.

Typically it's not the talent pool as much as what the company has to offer and how much they're willing to pay. I referred top notch engineer friends, and they never made it past HR. A couple were rejected without interview because they asked too high of a salary, despite asking under market average. The rest didn't pass HR on personnality or not having all the "requirements", because the really good engineers are socially awkward and demand flexibility and are honest on the résumé/CV, or are self taught and barely have high-school graduation on there (just like me).

I've literally seen the case of: they want to hire another me, but ended up in a situation where: I wouldn't apply for the position myself, and even if I did, I wouldn't make it to the interview stage where I'd talk to myself and hire myself.

Naturally the candidates that did make it to me weren't great. Those are the people that do the bare minimum, have studied every test question (without understanding), vibe code everything, typically on the younger and very junior side. They're very good at passing HR, and very bad at their actual job.

It's not the technology, it's the companies that hire that ultimately steers the market and what people study for. Job requirements are ridiculous, HR hires engineers on personnality like they're shopping for yet another sales associate, now it takes 6 rounds of interviews for an entry level position at a startup. VC startups continue to pay wildly inflated wages to snatch all the top talent while established companies are laying off as much IT staff as possible to maximize profits.

The email used to be used to send you notices if your cert wasn't renewed and other communications. They've just discontinued that feature, so the email isn't super important.

It's a good idea to provide a valid email address, but it's not that important and doesn't really matter for the purpose of issuing a certificate. It's not part of the problem you're having.

Keyboard shortcuts in general.

  • Alt + left right (previous/next page in browsers)

  • Windows + 1 (2, 3, ...) on Windows and KDE focuses the window at that position in the taskbar

  • Alt + Tab to switch windows (hold shift to go backwards)

  • Windows + Tab to switch windows within the same application (like, all browser windows if you're in a browser)

  • Alt + 1 (2, 3, ...) on Windows/Linux usually selects the corresponding tab

  • Ctrl + Tab to cycle through tabs like Alt-Tab does for windows (hold shift to go backwards)

  • In most browsers or things with a URL/go to bar, Ctrl+L will focus that. No need to click the address bar, Ctrl+L, example.com, Enter.

  • In Discord and Slack, you can press Ctrl+K to open a box to quickly type a channel/DM name to go to it quickly

  • If you have them, the Home/End/PageUp/PageDown keys are actually pretty useful. Press Home instead of scrolling all the way back up.

  • F1 is usually help

  • F2 is usually rename

  • F3 is usually search

D'après moi il n'a pas intercepté en tant que tel, l'un des deux côté est infecté et quelqu'un dans les courriels ou active la fonction pour transférer tous les courriels entrant à une autre addresse. Ils pourraient aussi avoir ajouté l'adresse courriel dans une autre banque et supprimé les messages de confirmation, ni vu ni connu. Reste plus qu'à accepter le virement avant la vraie personne, puis virer l'argent dans un compte à l'étranger.

C'est possible d'avoir un compte avec plusieurs banques, alors quand tu reçois un virement tu veux pouvoir choisir quelle banque et quel compte, ouvrant la faille.

Ou bien, y'a pas eu de bug, se sont fait arnaquer. J'aurais jamais payé deux fois: c'est clairement le problème du propriétaire. Je te paye tu te fais voler ton portefeuille 2 min après, c'est pas mon problème.

At the very least I hope it's hosted by someone outside the US so it's out of reach to the authorities.

They might not even know the source. The Guardian for example has a Tor service to upload them stuff completely anonymously.

Of course the crooked courts will pretend they're refusing to comply and jail them anyway to make a show.

The main issue you'll run into is nicher proprietary software being hard to install, but that's what containers are for. The main one I see is if you need to install some proprietary VPN client it gets annoying, but since you'll be running a VM anyway you can do some network trickery. My work's antivirus only works on Ubuntu and RHEL, proprietary kernel modules so it's got to be at least one of those kernels.

Linux is Linux, nothing's impossible to solve even with Bazzite's immutability. Worst comes to worst you make your own images and it's not that hard, you basically just fork it on GitHub and let the CI do its thing.

But do you have time to fiddle to make it work and take the risk, or do you want to play it safe? How confident are you with Bazzite's more advanced topics?

Ah yes, he's the only government allowed to collect taxes.

Ubuntu 7.10 so late 2007, but I guess the nerd part came when I installed Arch in 2011. Still running that very same install.

Gotta condition americans to the norm of guilty until proven innocent early!

And hopefully ad blockers too.

I don't normally watch him but this popped on my feed, and I'm pretty impressed. Dude really fell the Arch+Hyprland rabbit hole and ended up loving it.

Probably one of the largest YouTuber switching to Linux, and is very positive about it.

That Hyprland rice is pretty sick too.

 

Neat little thing I just noticed, might be known but I never head of it before: apparently, a Wayland window can vsync to at least 3 monitors with different refresh rates at the same time.

I have 3 monitors, at 60 Hz, 144 Hz, and 60 Hz from left to right. I was using glxgears to test something, and noticed when I put the window between the monitors, it'll sync to a weird refresh rate of about 193 fps. I stretched it to span all 3 monitors, and it locked at about 243 fps. It seems to oscillate between 242.5 and 243.5 gradually back and forth. So apparently, it's mixing the vsync signals together and ensuring every monitor's got a fresh frame while sharing frames when the vsyncs line up.

I knew Wayland was big on "every frame is perfect", but I didn't expect that to work even across 3 monitors at once! We've come a long, long way in the graphics stack. I expected it to sync to the 144Hz monitor and just tear or hiccup on the other ones.

 

All the protections in software, what an amazing idea!

 

It only shows "view all comments", so you can't see the full context of the comment tree.

 

The current behaviour is correct, as the remote instance is the canonical source, but being able to copy/share a link to your home instance would be nice as well.

Use case: maybe the comment is coming from an instance that is down, or one that you don't necessarily want to link to.

If the user has more than one account, being able to select which would be nice as well, so maybe a submenu or per account or a global setting.
