Literally next week Bitnami will pull all of their Docker images from public use. They were relied on by many people but since being bought by Broadcom, they just exist to be milked for cash.

They don't list a price for their new enterprise subscription, instead making you contact their 3rd party, outsourced sales team.

The quote I heard from a colleague was USD5'000 pcm. No wonder they don't want to publish that!

It's funny that you mention this because in my discussions on this subject (Svalboard, ergo keyboards in general) it's the first thing that numerous people have mentioned. The thing is, I'm the only person who's used my computer in many years.

I have a non-standard layout and keep a second (small wireless) keyboard around for exactly this reason but to date it hasn;t been needed.

How do you even get to the point of installing F-Droid without first setting up Android, which, in my experience, requires a valid Google login.

When I set up my Android device, there wasn't an option to set it up without a Google Account.

Every reply is talking about how wind doesn't make sense, how its uneconomical, or how its a nuisance. I can offer an opposing take:

My father has been using wind power in a semi-suburban area in the Uk for close to 20 years now. They have a large wind turbine now but had a much smaller one for a long time. Outside of cookie-cutter estates, there's sufficient tree and building cover that its barely visible to the neighbors. It provides most of their home power.

However, the implied meaning is significant. This site is full of engineers who, if they're good, invest a lot of time into understanding the implied meaning of what's said.

How? Postal workers shouldn;t be carrying things that are too heavy. I suspect the USPS would have to arrange a special delivery.

We have a similar thing in Switzerland for the gastronomy (food and drinks) industry. The industry is pretty abusive - here and abroad - so the "union" makes sure there's protections for workers.

Because of this, there's free management training, free skilled training, and holiday and pay minimums. Plus, free advice and legal support for workers.

Funnily enough, that's exactly what they're doing in this announcement. They're rewriting `tsc` in Go and shipping native binaries, rather than shipping JS.

Lots of screenshots circulating of posting the word "Cisgender" being flagged by Twitter. Not sure if they just flag or remove it though, as I don't use Twitter any more.

Seeing your comment, and all the comments that follow, is reminding me of the "Misconceptions developers believe about X" posts that circulate on here occasionally.

It seems like there's a lot of beliefs that don't universally apply.

I replaced the USB port on my older kindle with a USB-C port when I did the same for a bunch of devices. Not an option for everyone but if you have the time and patience (and a little skill) I highly recommend it.

Looks like you were using k8s APIs directly in your applications, which is a more complex set-up.

In my experience, most k8s deployments are just "dumb" docker images, they're not very "k8s native".

Your use case may be more complex, which is why you have had more difficulty keeping things up-to-date.

I'd add that .dev was never a safe TLD, it just wasn't available yet.

Using .dev was a pretty foolish thing to do, and ICANN making it available shows how important it is to use proper TLDs for intranets. (That said, a case could be made for .dev being classified as high-risk.)

Regional pricing means it's 500-560 USD up-front to buy the receiver. Then, 50-100 USD per month for the residential plan, which includes unlimited data.

That's not too bad. However, there's no speed listed. Third party reviews state 100/10 Mbps (up/down), which is not too bad considering the same site states a UK average of 75/15.

The vast majority of the UK has pretty slow speeds.

That said, unlimited internet subscriptions over fiber can be had for as little as 20 USD per month, which is far cheaper.
