Our garbage trucks already have been for years… I learned that when I got an “overloaded bin” fine, with a video of my neighbor’s bin being dumped as “evidence.” I had to do a dispute and make them reverse it, not because I care about a dollar or whatever insignificant fine amount, but because, like… fuck off with that shit, you know?

This hit way too close to home lol

Yep. Keeping up to date is a never ending battle. I try to do it often so they don’t pile up and break a ton of shit all at once. If you’re into gitops, I’m a big fan of using renovate to help automate things.

For sure. Simplifies querying the data too, since you won’t need to deal with multiple data sources in grafana.

TIL Promtail is going EOL. I’ve been using it forever. Guess I’m gonna have to figure out how to migrate to alloy too if that’s meant to be its successor. At home and at work lol.

You should be able to just add a scrape config to your existing deployment of prometheus

Yep, actual can do this sort of forecasting with schedules

I think this probably still won’t do what you want, but actual-helpers has a script that will track the balance of an investment account. It won’t track shares or funds separately or anything, but it could maybe be enough if your goal is just net worth tracking?

If the machine can’t wash it then it was unworthy to begin with. Dishes too.

Why do I keep seeing companies blame shit like this on “a software glitch”? Like, fuckin, no it’s not. And no one believes your bullshit either.

Water? Like out the gulf?

Just a subscription that had most of the things and wasn’t a straight up abusive experience would be worth a hell of a lot more than $5. Too bad it will never happen.

To be fair, if you’re a W-2 employee, they already have your money from withholding. So it’s not like you’re taking dollars from the irs by not filing your return, it just means you don’t get your rebate.

Your tax dollars at work!

Nobody’s mentioned that the vulnerability was “immediately” fixed (within 24h according to a comment on a related post in the cybersecurity community). Like, the fact that this is even possible to begin with is obviously bullshit, and makes me wish I’d ripped the starlink box out of my car, but this is not the rampant and actively exploited thing that the headline would have me believe it is.

I ran into this when trying to paste my generated password into the password field on some kind of financial site and I think it is still the most egregious case of security theater I’ve seen yet.

Anyway, you want the “don’t fuck with paste” extension, available on both chrome and firefox.

Is Sony actually a good guy for holding this patent so that no one else can go and do this shit either?

Yes. Can’t wait to get rid of Google home.
