Just the other day, someone was asking me if I knew of any options for replicating externaldns for Docker Compose. They didn't want "all the complexity" of running k8s, but wanted the features. This person was absolutely on t

Maybe I'm just missing the joke, but Wikipedia says otherwise "As of May 3, 2026, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie has grossed $403 million in the United States and Canada, and $495 million in other territories, for a worldwide total

As mingus88 said, this story is literally in response to Apple leaking messages sent through Signal. Doesn't matter if the message is securely transmitted if the operating system then keeps it lying around in plain text in a cache. Fro

I've noticed that on Instagram, too. Absolutely infuriating.

"Fond" memories of playing King's Quest IV as a little kid on my parents' Apple IIe. You had to swap in a new 5.25" floppy almost every time you walked to another screen. I was fascinated by the game but my god was

That sounds really cool! My CS curriculum had one class where we had to read and write assembly (targeting an emulator for some Motorola chip I don't recall). It was fine but writing something that ran on an actual game console would h

IPv4 has been "in crisis" for the entire 20 years I've worked in tech and we seem to be managing alright. Not to say things can't be better or we shouldn't try to improve. But I'll be surprised if v4 isn't

Does Valve even make games anymore? The only thing of note they've done since like 2020 is put a fresh coat of paint on CounterStrike. Which still counts of course but it feels like they are REALLY coasting on the reputation of games t

Definitely agree on the reduced usefulness for creative play. My kids got a lot of Lego sets as gifts when they were younger. Which is great, I love them playing with Legos. But once they're done with the instructions that's just

I'm also looking right now and a lot of that resonates with me. The posted salary ranges are often a complete joke as you noted. "The pay band for this role is $80,000-250,000 commensurate with experience and interview performance

As someone applying right now I agree. I think I've had one company out of dozens get back to me on a cold application this year. Every contact that has led to an interview was from being referred in by a current employee, or a Linke

I got laid off at the end of last year and am currently interviewing for Staff+ DevOps/Platform Engineer type roles. I definitely feel this. I've had a decent flow of recruiter inquiries and had multiple companies go 2-3 rounds of

Very cool work! This is giving me a big nostalgia hit, as a LONG time ago (when UO was a current game ;) I maintained a C++ UO emulator called UOX3. To be clear I absolutely did not initially develop it or even write any particularly large

There's also the tactic where the layout of the page/app reflows after a second or two, changing where the ads are. It drives me up the wall. Go to tap on a button, SURPRISE, an ad popped in where the button used to be 10ms before

I "love" the ones that randomly decide to reactivate literally years after unsubscribing and never interacting with the business again. The other day I randomly got an email from a yoga studio I once bought my wife a gift card fro

The "ancillary" materials like manuals and maps were crucial for old games. Even simple ones. The other day I was going through some of the old SNES games in the Switch online catalog. I found F-Zero, a racing game I played the he

It's only showing connections directly initiated by your computer. Not anything "upstream" of you like the FIOS router. It would also show any connections TO your computer, but being behind NAT on a normal home network, that

Yeah from an extremely quick read of the code, I agree with atworkc. It's showing any IP address you have an established network connection to. void refreshConnections() { ssOutput = popen("ss -atun4 | grep ESTAB |

YAML is so ubiquitous I have to wonder what corner of tech you work in that you aren't encountering it in the wild. Kubernetes really brought it to center stage going on 10 years ago, but it's the config file format for many many

I was a freshman in high school when UO came out. I distinctly remember getting accepted into the beta test and frantically checking the mailbox every day until the CD finally showed up. I had played Gemstone III (a text MUD on AOL) and Sie

Yeah the signal strength indicator being BS (or, if we're being charitable, incomplete to the point it's misleading) is extremely frustrating. It's quite common for my iPhone to say I have full bars of LTE or even 5G, yet the

Yes, regression testing--making sure bugs you've fixed don't return--is a standard part of QA. I did volunteer QA for Mozilla in college a good 20 years ago (god that number is horrifying) and they had an ever-growing suite of reg

lol this is exactly what I came here to say. To be fair, it is probably not a brand that's top of mind for "construction inspectors" so probably won't cause much confusion within their intended audience.

"Political enemies fired by a coding error" is an obviously idiotic claim on its face. And when called on it, they immediately double down on their innocence by somehow blaming the firings on Joe Biden. Who is triple checks notes
