The least cynical take I've heard about RTO is that most managers are deeply under-trained to the point of being mostly incompetent. So forcing people into the office lets them do performative performance monitoring and project managem

My ask for these is always the same. I just want to see how this union would work, specifically. Don't compare it to other unions or say it could be like X. Just write a few hundred words on what it would actually be like.

Let's encrypt is great but if you operate any kind of scale you can quickly hit their rate limit. AWS only recently started allowing you to pull the certificate out of ACM.

My local library has been running a tool lender library for quite a while. It's quite popular as it rents out both manual and electric tools. This is great when you need an extension ladder but don't want to own an extension ladd

Yeah, but what's the burn rate? If it's going down at 1 day per week then it's not so bad. If it's closer to 0.75 days per day, that's much more serious.

Fun story - at Oxford they like to name buildings after important people. Dr Hoare was nominated to have a house named after him. This presented the university with a dilemma of having a literal `Hoare house` (pronounced whore). I can'
