How does it trace syscalls on macos? Do you need to disable SIP?

Sounds great! I introduced bike helmets for my team members to wear at office for additional safety and everybody’s loving it!

I haven't ever written or participated in anything political or controversial through any of my google accounts over more than 15 years I've had them. I'm beginning to reach the same conclusion as you on the matter.

Ask HN: Can you rely on Google Cloud Platform?

brutopia — Wed, 09 Nov 2022 11:12:37 +0000

I have a software company building own products and web services for various clients in traditional industries (ERP systems, education etc.). I'm using Google Workspace for email and calendar and AWS for the products and services I build. In AWS I separate the costs by tagging all the resources by client or by creating another AWS account and in GCP by project, which is way more useful.

Recently I looked into Google Cloud Run which seems pretty nifty and was planning to implement a project on it. I have 3 billable projects already and about a year of history with my corporate GCP account with zero payment issues or any activity that I could even remotely think of sketchy (backups on cloud storage, hello world projects with different GCP services).

I tried to apply for a billing quota increase to have more than three projects linked to my billing account but no matter how I word the application I get no explanation for the refusal back in email or the follow-up questions sent back to the refusal emails from Google Cloud Compliance. First email asked for a pre-payment on the account, which I did and replied that to the email but got no response. Then I sent an application every couple of days again with increasing detail of explanation and no replies again. Last week I finally managed to click around in the console to find a human to contact in the billing department but they told they can't help and I should just reply to the refusal email. I can still use paid services on the three projects I have so this doesn't make much sense to me.

Google apparently don't want my business and now I'm wondering should I move away from Google Workspace as well if some automation has flagged my account fraudulent and I could be locked out any day with similar way (no way) to resolve the issue.

Is it only me or have you experienced anything similar? Why they even build the seemingly great products but then refuse to take money from people interested in using them?

I guess it means the graphics are aligned on a 24x24 grid where applicable for visual unity.

The technology isn’t the problem, it’s us. Our primitive instincts just aren’t compatible to deal with such big groups of other people anonymous or not.

New comment by brutopia in "Sauna use as a lifestyle practice to extend healthspan"

Sounds good then! I'd try running it hot after use -trick to see if it makes any difference. You could probably get good 50 years of use out of it if you treat the wooden parts inside with oil such as [1]. The sauna should be extremely dry before treating it and you can do that by running it couple of hours hot without using. The oil needs to be non toxic and non water soluble so high temperatures won't vaporize any toxins from it to your breathing air. It deepens the color of the wood a bit but should look even better.

I would recommend to move it outside as there’s probably not enough ventilation for it to dry between uses. The sweat should vaporize without trace almost within minutes when the stove is hot. It doesn’t need cover outside and can handle rain and snow no problem. Just don’t let it get buried in snow for extended periods of time. The possible electric connections need to be protected from water though.

Just use it weekly and let the stove run hot an hour more after you’re done if there’s any hint of moistness in the wood. It’s better to never turn the heat off immediately after using. I’m a finn and the thing looks very proper with the harvia stove and all

Yeah but you can do appkit with swift without having to use objc

Swift code runs on older macs so no need to go objc

How about keeping connection open from the webcam server or any host on the same LAN with a ssh reverse tunnel to a cheap cloud server?

For example when the webcam server is reachable on LAN at 192.168.1.2:1337 you can do

$ ssh -N -T -R 1338:192.168.1.2:1337 user@cloudserver.com

on a raspberry pi on the same LAN or locally in the webcam server and then you can access the webcam server from anywhere using cloudserver.com:1338

As a long time iOS user this single aspect has made me look over the fence to the android side the whole time. Not having full access to my own devices is insane. The poor security on android side has kept me away, but they’ve just recently been catching up enough that the scales are almost tilted.

Bit unrelated, but could somebody highlight the comma splices mentioned in the comments section? As a non-native english speaker, I can’t notice anything out of the ordinary.
