Politicians working for their own profit instead for the well-being of the people who elected them? Color me shocked!

Smh my head

The scary thing is, I could imagine someone writing this text, but unironic…

Don’t forget to run some docker container on that VM, to encapsulate the workload, so it will be: SSH to VM -> open a shell into the container -> run the rest

Even if they would get all of Ukraine, I would expect quite a bit of underground resistance that would make holding on to Ukraine expensive.

It’s hard to give tips without knowing your situation better, but here are a few general ones that probably already set you apart from the vast majority of other small companies:

• Keep your stuff updated, especially when there are security fixes available
• don’t take convenience shortcuts that compromise on security (e.g. relying on “security through obscurity”)
• block incoming traffic by default (you only need some people from your country to access the network? Maybe even block ip ranges from the other side of the world)
• log access to your network and also analyse the logs often (probably with the help of some software)

I’m just some Software Engineer with a few years of experience, not some security expert though😅

My feeling is the US feels they are too committed now to stop and just hope that Israel will stop by itself soon.

I’m not saying I like it, but it definitely feels like that…

Well, it means you are incentivized to scroll through the app more, meaning you see more ads as well. 110% sure it pays off for them

Very hard. Trust me bro

I like living in the EU 😄

I really hope with this move the crazies from die Linke are all gone, so it’s finally possible to vote for them. Let’s keep an eye on them 😊

Maybe I will take a look at that, why not?

But no solution is really free. Either you pay directly (Kagi), or it is paid through ads (Google) or it is some free open source solution, which then is paid through the time people put into it in their free time and in that case there should be donations or contributions as well, at least from people who can afford it. 🤷‍♂️

It doesn’t really matter to me if they use their own crawler or use results from another search engine. What matters to me is the results i’m seeing for my search queries. And if they “roll in the ads later” or the service deteriorates, I can still switch to another search engine.

No need for “just trust us”, if you can just compare the product yourself🤷‍♂️

I don’t have a ton of experience with it yet, but I don’t have to scroll through a bunch of actual ads, followed by a bunch of not-really-but-basically-still ads, before finding what I’m looking for.

I’m paying for the service, not because I just fell for their marketing, but because I actually have the impression of getting noticeably less “polluted” results, especially when searching for something easily advertisable (e.g. “best X to buy 2023”). I don’t need to convert anyone else. Everyone can just try it themselves and judge whether they feel it’s worth their money or not. As of now, for me it seems to be the case.

I started using Kagi. By paying for the search engine, at least I can ensure the search engine’s goals align with mine, instead of with whoever pays most for advertisement. I haven’t used it for a long time yet, but so far I’m satisfied with its results!

I watched some video some time ago where they put that in perspective: If I stopped causing any climate negative emissions now and for the rest of my life, it would amount to like 1 second emitted by the top 100 companies (not 100% sure about the numbers exactly, but it’s basically the same order of magnitude).

I’m not saying that we should stop caring about it at all, but it’s much much more important to try and steer politics into the right direction, than it is to change personally. Still, do all you can personally, but imo it’s fine to “cheat” here and there.
