I remember applying for a position a few years back. After I saw a bunch of questions related to high school I noped out due to weird vibes. Sounds like it was a good call

They did the same for me: I was - like the author - vague here, instead of "10/10 perfect score" and thus rejected pretty soon without any further information.

This is just an instance shutting down, not all of the Nitter instances. Sort of a deceptive title.

proctrap · 2 years ago

This is one of the long time running instances shutting down, linking to the primary nitter author saying it's the end for all instances eventually. And providing insights from the status page.

If they don't get new guest accounts, they're all going to shut down withing 30 days. It's just left over accounts and caches giving you the impression everything is fine.

Don't forget the rolling DoS herds of scrapers having no more ways to do stuff on their own, which are now trying to use the remaining instances - killing even more.

yeah no, the people complaining about their deleted data clearly wanted to keep using it - so much so, they didn't expect anything close to migrating away to another location

Maybe this is the scream test…just done badly

proctrap · 2 years ago

that's not the scream test, that's the nuke test - nuke it and see if anyone complains, if they do, it's already too late

proctrap commented on Keycloak – Open-source identity and access management interview console.substack.com/i/12... · Posted by u/ph4ni

I still have open issues on github for keycloak. One of them is for example, that you can use whitespaces for names, where keycloak can't actually accept whitespaces. So you find that out after you set the global name..

The upgrade path for keycloak is also similarly broken in my experience. Especially the total change in one of the recent versions broke a lot of things, which they are still fixing. Add no visible LTS or security patching on top, and you end up with something, that isn't usable for any enterprise rollout.

I don't think that it's true that the experience listed is a complete given: I lived in a town outside Stuttgart when I was young and my mother had an extremely hard time of it along the lines of the article, where despite spending a lot of time trying to learn German the local government officials would refuse to even slow down their speech or use simpler language constructs to effectively communicate with a new learner of German. They were basically hostile and uncooperative because she was an immigrant even though she was visibly trying.

Compared to when I lived in Zurich essentially all government officials were willing to even just entirely speak English after briefly suggesting we speak German and only rolling their eyes slightly that I wasn't competently able to. Navigating the system there as a "first year resident" was zero problem by comparison.

Yeah government officials.. You don't wanna deal with them. Not even as a native german. Hasn't gotten better with the new refugees.
