The things you can see in S1 Deep Observability is insane.

I have my work items on a separate network as well but my motivation is more not trusting some random item being pushed down from corp and having it scan my network or something.

As much as I prefer the European way of some items. I think the American way of treating the work computer as a company asset and just locking it down to an insane degree makes way more sense. Especially for areas like finance.

I do the same for the most part. There are a few ppl I still let show on my feed, but as soon as they post something not relevant to the platform as I intend to use it, “Stop Following” is clicked instantly.

DarkSky was at least incorporated into their weather app tho.

Wells Fargo for the longest time had a daily spending limit on its Check Cards and a daily withdrawal limit. If you had a Debit (not check card) your “spending limit” was your withdrawal limit.

If you tried to make a purchase above the spending limit it was a hassle. I am old tho.

I can add to the personal experience piece. I am way more emphatic, to the point I apparently now tear up on certain movies/shows. Also yeah way more impatient and honestly more selfish now due to lack of personal time.

Suse has filled that niche pretty well also.

Really? Because I have 4 Gmail accounts, all from the days of 100 invites. Two have been used publicly in systems, etc the other two have never been input into a system. I have equal amounts of spam hitting the inbox in all of them. It’s better then say outlook.com but not much.

Reminds me of when Dell laptops started smelling like cat urine. Dell denied it for a long time then admitted it was an issue with the manufacturing process. https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-24741832

Different kind of beast. In my opinion Datagrip is meant for heavy DB work with jetbrains ecosystem surrounding you as well.

Heidi is perfect for the kind of person who connects to a DB once in awhile to just get some crap done.

I used to use HeidiSQL a lot, then we moved to Azure SQL with entra mfa which Heidi doesn’t current support. I would switch back instantly if that support ever came out.

So how would this help in this case? The oauth info would’ve just been in the csv or in someone’s env file.

I have a P50 or P51 and same. It’s a tank but love the thing. Mine is the model before they killed the drop on dock and I prefer that over the USB-C docks.

New comment by JoeBOFH in "How Did REST Come to Mean the Opposite of REST?"

JoeBOFH — Wed, 29 Apr 2026 11:51:05 +0000

To me this is gif vs gif. The populous has shifted in a direction the originator didn’t intend, but it’s the populous that use it.

RESTful to me is HTTP calls with PUT/PATCH/GET/DELETE and whatever else I am missing. The return doesn’t need to be json but needs to be structured so XML, JSON, etc

While you aren’t wrong, I haven’t seen a distro that defaults to bash not have this enabled by default for a long while.
