  • Possibly. In that situation the people were grateful to be hired, and they worked hard anyway. They didn't express any qualms about how they were hired. If they did, maybe they kept it to themselves.

  • I have been a part of interviews (at a computer repair shop, mostly men) where my boss said we had to hire the only woman interviewee because it looked bad to not to, and we needed diversity, even though she wasn't very qualified. So we hired her instead of the person who had excelled in the interview.

    At my next job we had some diversity hires. It was pre-DEI, but we had a diversity intern program. We hired a guy because he was black, he was qualified and was amazing. Later we hired a person who was also black and wasn't very qualified, they struggled for months and eventually quit - we had hired them based on skin color too.

    Not saying I'm for or against, but I've seen situations where diversity became more important than qualifications. I've also seen where both were equally important, and that was preferred.

  • That's a hard one to answer without losing anonymity. It's with contextual searching, like X business in Y town, or looking up specific or niche software tools. I occasionally give Mojeek a fair shot, then switch away when I can't find what I'm looking for. If you'd like, I'll keep track of those instances and email you with examples, is that helpful?

  • I tried it out after getting a referral code from somebody I know granting a 3 month trial. I've been hooked. It's the first search engine that has rivaled Google search, it's so good. I'm often disappointed with DDG (switching to Google later to find what I need), and Mojeek never finds anything. SearXNG has been very close, but is essentially an aggregator, not exactly a Google replacement.

    Kudos to Kagi for getting it right.

  • Show him you're the bigger person, support him on this happy day, then be on with it. Not going to his wedding would not only make you the enemy. It'd also create hostility and he may be left thinking that your political beliefs drove you away and made you abandon your family. Don't let some billionaire be the wedge in your relationship with your family.

  • What I was referring to is called a Bind Mount, where host directories are exposed to the docker container. You may be fine if it's an external hard drive. I use bind mounts because they're easier to back up, but I acknowledge they are less safe.

    You may be perfectly fine as you are now. My (and others) suggestions are for added security. As it stands, if there's no target on your bind, the only bad traffic you'll get are from bots trying to pick away at your domain and sub domains. Generally they're not a problem. But being extra safe costs nothing but time.

  • "Secure" and "exposed" are antonyms in this scenario, that's the nature of the beast. I use Nginx which I have a domain pointing to. Worst case scenario, a hacker brute forces access to my container and mucks around within the confines. As I understand from a WireGuard VPN, there's an added level of security. You have to use the VPN to get access to your home ports, and then you can access your Docker containers as configured. There's an added layer of security.

    Some things to consider:

    • Do you have a target on your back?
    • Does your container contain sensitive data?
    • If so, does your container have access to external directories?
    • Does your project have security options like Geo Blocking, rate limiting, etc?

    I've been running some local servers for a few years only behind Nginx. So far nothing bad has happened. But that doesn't mean something bad couldn't happen later.

  • Something important to remember is how many great franchises or games were originally made by a very small (or "indie") team. Zelda, Tetris, Mario, Minecraft, Sonic, Civ, and others. Each eventually either grew massively or were bought out by a bigger corporation later. Indie games may not be our savior, but so many mainstream games started out small. It seems to me that the smaller the team, the bigger the innovation.

    Somebody is gonna try to fact check me on this, so I'll just say my point is you can't have a healthy gaming industry without a healthy indie industry too, IMHO.

  • I'm also a stranger without a source, but I recall seeing a YouTube video about it years ago, either a news story or documentary. I don't know if the exact numbers are right but I remember the other details. I'll have to see if I can find it.

    Update: no idea. Can't find the original video. The one I remember, the guy had been awake the whole time but a nurse had figured out how to communicate with him through eye blinking, he remembers his mom's senseless comment years previous. OP might be mixing stories. I do vaguely remember ghost boy though.
