Seems like when the security market is low on the white hat side, it's high on the black hat one. Security people just need to learn to adapt.
I'm sure some of these ransomware groups probably offer health insurance and 401k matching.

The name gets me every single time. Always think it’s going to be about radio LoRa
Not just me then. It's always the first thing that springs to mind.

Two of the default front page posts were the conservative sub complaining about all of the insensitive comments on Reddit.
And yet when the two Minnesota politicians were assassinated, that subreddit was full of its own blend of insensitive comments. Complete drivel all around.

I’d be pretty pissed at my parents if I was born on a Starship and condemned to die on it too. Imagine living your entire life in a Winnebago and you can’t even go outside.
I follow what you're saying, but many folks on this planet have far less opportunities than such a trip might provide. Guaranteed food, housing, access to cutting edge healthcare, a likely united community. I'm assuming these ships would be fairly big. It would definitely be different but-- would it be as bad as we think?

> I prefer it to pihole.
Can you talk more as to why?
Sure!
Technitium is a full fledged authoritative recursive DNS resolver with adblock, whereas pihole is more focused solely on the adblock experience. Technitium supports full zone management, DNSSEC, and all DNS record types. Pihole is limited to a handful of types and can't do custom zones and the management is somewhat clunky IMO. Technitium has full DNS logging, statistics, conditional forwarding, and a full rest API for management.
I think Pihole is a great project, but Technitium caters better to power users and people that want/need more complex control over their internal DNS infrastructure (while still remaining relatively simple from a management perspective).
Simply put, Pihole is adblock with some DNS sprinkled in, Technitium is a DNS server first with adblock support. I don't think you can go wrong either way, but if you're going to need more advanced DNS capabilities at home, roll Technitium to save yourself a migration down the line.

I run Technitium DNS server at home in a container. It supports DoH, DoT, multiple upstream resolvers (and multiple upstream queries, adblock support and a sleep of other goodies (API). If you're self hosting an internal resolver I highly recommend checking it out. I prefer it to pihole.

i'm the only one that wished docker swarm became the standard instead of k8s?
Swarm syntax is much better than the YAML sprawl of k8s. That said the underlying engine was pretty buggy and lack of customization for lower level components was a pain. Their whole plugin system was a great idea, but actual plugins developed by vendors ended up being very brittle. That said, yeah I'd prefer that timeline

Short term thinking. Yes, maybe those jobs are replaceable. But how do you train the next gen of seniors?
The year is 2030: The junior engineers of the Adeptus Mechanicus stand in a circle around the holy monitor, chanting prayers to the Omnissiah. Their arcane books and lore guide the machine spirit, ensuring the correct holy words of blessing are entered into the holy prompt. Petitioning the machine spirit for its most truthful, secure holy answers.
Oh wait, wrong distopian future.
Fair, lets then count income tax which makes it more like $500 assuming net taxes around 40%. I'm ignoring salary increase due to stock valuation going up because it complicates things and there is equal force from both sides of the argument.
So you decide: 20,000 companies running with a CEO being paid like an average person. And every citizen gets $500 in their account per year.
Edit: its not just a CEO but the C suite. 20,000 running without a C suite.
Shouldn't it be distributed to just the employees of those companies? Why are we including every citizen. That seems to dilute that overall picture.

Better fix your about page ;)
I've dabbled in NixOS and come to many of the same conclusions. The learning and troubleshooting overhead just isn't there yet (for me). I appreciate the concept and I do think declarative configurations do have a place in the near future, especially in corporate environments. I'll probably give it another go in a year or so to see if it's gained any more polish.
