Dear #GetFediHired,
Despite “my” contract ending with the end of the year, but the company being a side in that contract decided to kick out some people, including me, earlier. So their Christmas present for me is the lack of a job.
So I'm looking for opportunities for a jack of all trades #Linux sysadmin, with broad, 10y+ experience in system and applications administration. Preferred location would be #Strasbourg.
Please boost 🔁
Tech garbage #apple #macosx edition:
In Mac OS X Tahoe (and probably Sequoia), the OS downloads between 14G and 40G of these stupid aerial flyover videos. I never asked for this bullshit. I deleted the files and they came back.
~/Library/Application Support/com.apple.wallpaper/aerials/videos
Any way to permanently disable this crap?

this is just normal internet business. When I worked at a smaller ISP/datacenter we had contracts with customers promising uptime and if we failed even because our own upstream providers had outages, we had to refund/credit based on the contracts.
Now the place I work for has huge contracts with Amazon and CloudFlare. I am not sure about the CloudFlare situation, but Amazon has refunded us hundreds of thousands of dollars for outages.
So it goes.

Advice for community managers:
Use the Olivia Hill rule.
It's surprisingly easy to enforce:
Fascists get really upset and will talk to you about why the rule is bad.
You then ban them.
That's it, that's all the work it takes!

Gestern ein bisschen spontan den Umzug von Gmail zu @Tutanota vollzogen. Abgesehen von den Herzschlagmomenten beim Umzug der Domain samt DNS-Einstellungen, war das initial ganz erfolgreich.
Nicht ganz so geschmeidig ist der Workflow - Tuta reagiert an allen Ecken und Enden behäbiger, der Spam-Filter sortiert gerne echte Mails aus, aber belässt massig Spam im Posteingang. Und auch die Farbgebung ist nicht ganz meine…
Aber vielleicht gewöhnt man sich aneinander und alles wird gut 🌈☀️
I had a cheeky comment prepared for today, saying that you shouldn't rely on Cloudflare if you can afford it, and that you don't truly self-host when you use it, but I could not post it because one of the services I don't self-host —my Mastodon instance— depends on #Cloudflare, too. 😅
Friends don't let friends disable TLS server verification. (#curl is used, but the check is explicitly disabled by the app)
@fireborn Leaving to where? I ditched Spotify for Tidal, but Tidal is so much worse; I'm sorry, I went back. Spotify's GUI, especially on the phone, also with my vision rest, is the nicest, imo. I don't have an Apple device; otherwise, I'd probably be using Apple Music, but I can't get it to run on my Windows PC either and won't have a half mess just to figure out how I eventually could (MS Store version doesn't work). Nothing much left. Qobuz is basically Tidal, maybe a bit more stable, but they all have no features, too. I didn't care about crossfade when I was at Tidal, but now I'm back on Spotify, I wouldn't want it off; it's just nice.
And don't get me wrong, I totally get the problem here, but I'm sick of taking drawbacks and weird flaws, in terms of accessibility or elsewhere, just to enjoy my music. Call me egoistic, but then I don't care that much apparently.

On occasion, I feel some trepidation about no longer putting Cloudflare in front of most of my services for protection. Then today happens and it all just goes away.
I guess the internet needs another Cloudflare so Cloudflare has somewhere to host its status page.

Cloudflare seems to be having some kind of oopsie (it's probably DNS. It's always DNS) right now.
When you click on the link on their error page, it takes you to a page that says “Do you have a website? Anybody that runs a website should be on the Cloudflare network.”
Uh, read the room, #cloudflare. When people are trying to find out why your product has shit the bed, that's not really the time to make with the marketing copy about how they really really should be using it.
