How about, don't use Kubernetes? The lack of control over where the workload runs is a problem caused by Kubernetes. If you deploy an application as e.g. systemd services, you can pick the optimal host for the workload, and it will not suddenly jump around.

glennpratt · 4 months ago

Comparing systemd and Kubernetes for this scenario is like comparing an apple tree to a citrus grove.

You can specify just about anything, including exact nodes, for Kubernetes workloads.

This is just injecting some of that automatically.

I'm not knocking systemd, it's just not relevant.

glennpratt commented on ADHD drug treatment and risk of negative events and outcomes bmj.com/content/390/bmj-2... · Posted by u/bookofjoe

The irony about getting treatment for ADHD is that medical providers make it very hard to get the proper medication and treatment. People with ADHD are horrible at following through and handle rejection poorly. So the worse the ADHD is, the less likely somebody will be able to actually get treatment for it. A lot of people suffer because doctors fear losing their license like so many did during the pain pill debacle. It's a risk for them to prescribe a stimulant, but zero risk to tell you to eff off.

As many have said in this thread, most doctors will tell you to go away or give you Welbutrin (which works poorly, if at all). I feel for your struggle.

glennpratt · 6 months ago

I agree, except I've been much happier with Wellbutrin. After getting through the initial insomnia a few years ago and switching to normal release, not extended, I have good focus and don't have tremors or back pain like I did with stimulants.

Yes, but if the concern is not mixing business and personal compartment of the phone, business sites would hopefully not embed a Meta tracking pixel.

> The takeaway is that for all intents and purposes, anything you did in a private session or secondary profile on an Android device with any Meta app installed, was fully connected to your identity

Definitely, and that's a huge problem. I just don't think Android business profiles are a particular concern here; leaking app state to random websites in any profile is the problem.

Or do Android "business profiles" also include browser sessions? Then this would be indeed a cross-compartment leak. I'm not too familiar with Android's compartment model; iOS unfortunately doesn't offer sandboxing between environments that way.

> do Android "business profiles" also include browser sessions

I believe that is typical.

My business profile has it's own instance of Chrome. Mostly used for internal and external sites that require corporate SSO or client certificates. Of course it could be used to browse anything.

What? Are you saying that you think there needs to be some kind of post-mortem because the investors might end up paying less income tax then they would have in some unlikely alternate reality where the deal was a success? That doesn't make any sense at all.

glennpratt · 2 years ago

I'm not GP, but perhaps something like the following would be a reason (investigation might be a more accurate term than post-mortem in that case).

>In October 2020, Vista's CEO Robert F. Smith and investor Robert T. Brockman were named in a tax evasion case.[33][34] That month, Smith signed a non-prosecution agreement with the IRS, agreeing to pay $139 million and testify against Brockman.[33]

Check for yourself with

    ssh -v -i /dev/null terminal.shop

vs

    ssh -v terminal.shop

What you're looking for is that there is no line that says something like

    debug1: Offering public key: /Users/fragmede/.ssh/id_rsa RSA SHA256:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Upon further testing, the full command you want is:

    ssh -a -i /dev/null -o IdentityAgent=/dev/null terminal.shop

to forcibly disable a local identity agent from offering up its identities as well, and not just agent forwarding.

Upon further testing,

    ssh -o IdentitiesOnly=yes terminal.shop

still offers up my public key on my system (macOS, OpenSSH_9.6p1, LibreSSL 3.3.6), contrary to what StackOverflow and the Internet seems to think. Tested by hitting whoami.filippo.io, linked in child comment.

glennpratt · 2 years ago

Aha, yes, `-o IdentityAgent=/dev/null` is better for my intent. I was confused that `-i` wasn't removing .ssh/id_rsa from the candidates, but that was ssh-agent.

  ssh -a -i /dev/null -o IdentityAgent=/dev/null terminal.shop

That looks pretty solid. Thanks!

fragmede · 2 years ago

The full command you want is:

    ssh -a -i /dev/null terminal.shop

to disable agent forwarding, as well as to not share your ssh public key with them, but that's just a little less slick than saying just:

    ssh terminal.shop

to connect.

glennpratt · 2 years ago

I'm curious why you added `-i /dev/null`. IIUC, this doesn't remove ssh-agent keys.

If you want to make sure no keys are offered, you'd want:

  ssh -a -o IdentitiesOnly=yes terminal. Shop

I'm not sure if the `-i` actually prevents anything, I believe things other than /dev/null will still be tried in sequence.

Like other countries.

No, it doesn't. Many other countries have a lot more wealth in their general population. There are many people in the US with higher salaries than other places however don't think they have the most excess money to steal.

I think everyone is missing a major factoid. Microsoft is second, it'll be used in every language in almost every country. Yet, it's piped to the post by a large amount by a US only target. People do things for a reason especially when it comes to money. The US market is clearly the most profitable. But my question remains is that because there are so many or that they're dumb?

glennpratt · 2 years ago

US is 15th in median wealth and it's population exceeds the 14 countries ahead combined. That's a big target.

Your question seems like a false dichotomy.

glennpratt commented on Paris cycling numbers double in one year thanks to investment momentummag.com/paris-cyc... · Posted by u/Timothee

ryandrake · 2 years ago

I don’t get how you can make bicycling your only form of transportation, even if the bike travel infrastructure and parking is adequate. When I bicycle, even for a short amount of time like 15 minutes, I sweat, and end up a stinky wet mess at my destination. Especially in the summer. My shoes and pants get dirty from the road and my hair gets wet and messed up especially if it’s raining. So if I’m going anywhere with even a moderate expectation of personal hygiene, I need to 1. Make sure there is a shower at my destination, 2. Haul a change of clothes with me (necessitating a backpack or bag), 3. Hang on to my dirty sweaty clothes in that bag the whole time. Fine if I’m commuting to work where they have a shower and storage. What about going to a restaurant or business meeting or a museum or an appointment with a professional? I honestly don’t know but there are so many cities where people bike everywhere so there must be a solution.

EDIT: ok, ok, I guess e-bikes it is. Still there are cities like Copenhagen and Amsterdam where everyone bikes everywhere and they don’t all have e-bikes. Do they just bring multiple changes of clothes everywhere?

glennpratt · 2 years ago

I pack some backup clothes (undershirt, underwear, socks), they mostly stay in my bike bag because I rarely use them. If I do need them, I just go to the bathroom, then change back into the bike clothes for the ride home. If it's really hot, I might switch it up and put the office clothes in the bag from the start - meaning I know I'll need a change.

Really not that complicated.

Zed developers, please don't. I don't want my core editor potentially sending out my code to who knows where or wasting cycles analyzing it.

If people want this just let it be a plugin.

Seems like that ship has sailed. Maybe it's a plugin already or could be in the future, but that's not on GP's suggestion.
