I don’t think that’s true at all. Your middle class percentage is tiny compared to most of Europe, and while you also earn a bit more, that money goes to a much stronger social safety net in most of Europe, too (at least in our more successful countries).

I would also wager that middle class workers are more comfortable here, because of guaranteed 5-7 weeks holiday, 37 hour work weeks (for the vast majority), guaranteed parental leave, and just generally a very unionized job market.

Why is your name red?

The free rental services are usually from big department stores like Ikea or storage warehouses, and it’s not always free, but like 5-20$.

Anyway, if you have a truck you most likely also have somewhere to park a trailer. So having a normal car and using the trailer a few times per year would still greatly outweigh the costs and emissions, as I see it.

Our cars are also at least 2-3x more expensive here, depending on its emissions, so that matters I guess.

Or you use a trailer. Everyone knows someone with a trailer, or, at least where I live, you can rent one for a few hours for free.

My point is that words are part of languages which change very fluidly, and you could make the same argument for hundreds of other words.

If the word isn’t considered bad by anyone hearing it or anyone it describes, nothing is wrong with it. Many meanings are different between your language and mine, even though they sound alike or share some etymology.

I genuinely have multiple friends who use that word about themselves. It isn’t negative unless people perceive so.

That must be it

Just a language thing, sorry. In my country this word does not have any negative connotation.

I rest my case

I’m glad people are finally taking their heads out of the ground to realize how big of a security issue 2G is.

My country already dropped 3G, but 2G is still used a lot for IoT stuff, modems, alarms, etc., so it won’t be leaving their air any time soon. But it has no place in a smarthone.

Handicapped people might disagree

I would just have Postgres running statically on some solid hardware. It’s easy to configure permissions and connections, too.

Not too hard to set up streaming replication for a hot standby if you wanna be sure (or offload some reads).

I use Postgres btw

Virtually all database solutions support limiting users to specific databases/schemas/tables/whatever you need.

Persistence to NFS is also generally bad advice for most databases for performance reasons.

So what is your point exactly? That you shouldn’t charge for software you develop to access a free network? There are plenty of free solutions for you.

Had to get some metrics out of an old Cisco box that weren’t available through SNMP, and the only solution I could come up with was to periodically SSH some commands and regex the results.

That required way too much shell-foo and the SSH daemon would just randomly refuse/drop connections.

If only there was some kind of standard metric API that every other modern software supports out of the box…

Postman is literally the only GUI I use for development, except for a browser I guess. Everything else is in terminals/WSL2 at work

Is this your first attempt at emoji pasta?

Cisco and Juniper CLIs are terrible imo… Why won’t they just use a proper modern set of tools instead of their own proprietary shit that doesn’t interface with anything else?

My account is 13, but lurked a bit before that. Never installed the official app. Used RES for desktop, and Boost for mobile.

Actually I just made up my own written language that happens to consist of 64 case-sensitive characters in one string. This is how I communicate
