  • People expect those kind of bullshit bingos.

    • diverse: check
    • sustainable: check
    • culture of belonging: check
    • different origins, background and experiences: check
    • valued and heard: check

    Unless people stop expecting that from companies and see them as the emotionless money machine they are, you will keep seeing that. But just look how many morons buy shit on pride month when it’s clear companies don’t care, they just want money.






  • So, first of all, I barely ever had to work with d-bus directly - I used it a few times and it was fine to use.

    Without any well-defined standards, a protocol is essentially useless and/or lawless

    When I look for “D-Bus Specification”, I get this: https://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-specification.html. This LOOKS like a proper documentation of the standard to me.

    the general lax nature of how endpoints are intended to be defined … is a significant factor for why many applications are the way they are

    I feel like this is the same complaint people have about other things, like PHP for example. They see shitty PHP code (like wordpress) and are like: “Oh my god PHP is such a shitty language because this application is written like shit”. But I don’t blame a language, a framework or a protocol for the failures of the users. I don’t feel like an application that close to the system core has to be absolutely “dummy proof”. At some point, we should just expect that people know what they’re doing, and if they don’t, we should blame them, not the underlying technology.

    Honestly 80% of the article is ranting about developer not writing proper documentation or following specs which is not the fault of D-Bus. The only point that I agree with is the lack of security features, but that has never really been a thing back then. Half of the shit that was developed was completely insecure. Not saying that’s a good thing btw. But that can be fixed.



  • How do you notify yourself about the status of a container?

    I usually notice if a container or application is down because that usually results in something in my house not working. Sounds stupid, but I’m not hosting a hyper available cluster at home.

    Is there a “quick” way to know if a container has healthcheck as a feature.

    Check the documentation

    Does healthcheck feature simply depend on the developer of each app, or the person building the container?

    If the developer adds a healthcheck feature, you should use that. If there is none, you can always build one yourself. If it’s a web app, a simple HTTP request does the trick, just validate the returned HTML - if the status code is 200 and the output contains a certain string, it seems to be up. If it’s not a web app, like a database, a simple SELECT 1 on the database could tell you if it’s reachable or not.

    Is it better to simply monitor the http(s) request to each service? (I believe this in my case would make Caddy a single point of failure for this kind of monitor).

    If you only run a bunch of web services that you use on demand, monitoring the HTTP requests to each service is more than enough. Caddy being a single point of failure is not a problem because your caddy being dead still results in the service being unusable. And you will immediately know if caddy died or the service behind it because the error message looks different. If the upstream is dead, caddy returns a 502, if caddy is dead, you’ll get a “Connection timed out”


  • You literately wrote “If there is one person that has all the influence, it’s you as a parent.

    Yes, because it’s true. The kid spends most of it’s time in your care. But that doesn’t mean you can negate all the other influence. But you can and should keep track of what is happening in your childs life.

    but now you shit on people that for one or another reason have children that turn out badly

    I’m not really trying to shit on people, sorry if you get that impression. There are reasons why children turn out bad despite you doing your best - especially if the partner leaves and you’re a single parent. It’s nearly impossible to feed yourself and your child while still paying 100% attention to what it does.

    However, my impression is that many people want to have children but not take care of them. That’s what I see in my daily life. Kids come home from school, get something to eat and then the parents put them in front of a TV or a tablet so they can keep themselves busy while the parents do whatever. And don’t get me wrong, it’s not even wrong to do that every now and then. Everyone needs a pause. But in many - especially poorer - families, this is common practice and it’s no surprise the kids turn out as they do.

    Do you think that it is the parents full responsibility, that their 13 year old child committed suicide because of bulling?

    If bullying gets to a point where it’s so bad the bullied kid feels the need to kill itself, there’s so many things wrong before that. It’s not like a child is bullied once and immediately jumps off a building, that is a long process that goes on for weeks or months and the changes that happen to the child are noticeable to adults in the childs life. Doesn’t want to go to school anymore, scared to go out etc. - if you’re a somewhat attentive parent, those change are noticeable. My mum, for example, almost always ate lunch with me when I came home and talked with me about the day. If I was bullied, she would’ve noticed within days.

    So no, they don’t carry the full responsibility. But they are certainly partly responsible, even tho that might sound cruel to you.


  • I never said children will never be influenced under good parental care. That is impossible to avoid. Of course your child will be influenced by things online and offline, no question. But if you notice your child is drifting into the wrong direction, you can sit them down, talk with them and try to correct that. I know I drifted into the wrong direction as a kid but my parents still got me into a pretty successful life by raising me correctly.

    It’s a battle against billion dollar companies and it won’t be easy

    Nobody said having a child is easy. But you decided to have a child and now you bear the responsibility.


  • Age verification without disclosing all your private data is absolutely doable.

    Not reliably, which is not what governments want. They want ironclad methods to determine who does what online.

    and “we should not block anyone’s access to anything on the internet” from privacy advocates is lazy

    Personally, I consider it significantly more lazy to have a child, not give a single flying fuck about what it does in the world and expect the entire world to raise your child - but I guess we’re just having different perspectives.


  • public schools and kindergardens are essential for modern society

    Yes, because those are supposed to instill essential skills like reading, calculus, history etc. They aren’t supposed to tell kids “Hey kiddos being on tiktok 12 hours a day is bad don’t do that” - that is your job as a parent.

    We shouldnt just hope that parents successfully fight the hydra of online dangers by doing DNS filtering & running ad blockers on all devices their children can get their hands on.

    You’re right, we shouldn’t hope - we should expect. Dumping a child into the world and not taking care of it is irresponsible beyond belief. If you can’t raise a child, don’t have one.

    Why should we not be able to do the same for internet usage?

    Because the requirements are significantly more extreme.

    Blocking a child from a brothel requires a security guard to take a look at the child and maybe check the ID if he’s unsure. That’s it. Blocking a child from tiktok requires age verifications across the entire internet - which are then bound to an ID, probably stored somewhere and will then be used to eliminate online privacy completely.

    It’s also denmark planning this - so the very same country that proposes and heavily advocates for chat control. So just another case of trying to control the internet under the guise of “BuT tHiNk Of ThE cHiLdReN”.


  • As a parent, I have limited influence

    Nonsense. If there is one person that has all the influence, it’s you as a parent.

    confiscate their smartphones & ground them

    Idk why parents think punishing their child is the only thing that works lmaooo.

    How about you learn what your child is doing online and talk about it if it does something it shouldn’t do. Set up a local DNS (like PiHole) and every evening, check what your child is doing. If it accesses sites it shouldn’t access, talk about it. There’s also plenty of software out there that lets you monitor your childs phone usage. Kid is 12 hours a day on tiktok? Install TimeLimit, restrict the time. Done.

    You made the decision you have a child - now take the responsibility and stop relying on the government or companies to educate your children.
