Aww … shucks … giggle
True, the employee(s) here need to be across every aspect of the business, including cleaning the toilet and talking to CEOs and CIOs, not to mention do the accounts, chase debtors and write code whilst maintaining a sense of humour and getting enough sleep.
Yeah. I jumped through these hoops too and it created a company page for my company, with one employee, me, just so I could read someone else’s review on a different company.
Of course, now there’s a company page for my company that I don’t appear to be able to delete.
Your modem will likely keep connection statistics which will tell you how much data was downloaded and uploaded.
Ookla speedtest.net will give you an indication of your network speed. I have a cron job that logs the speed with their cli client every 5 hours and I use it to keep my ISP mostly honest.
The resulting data can also be used to map peak network congestion so you don’t end up with network buffering issues when you are watching the latest episode on your favourite streaming service.
It is again beginning to feel rather dysfunctional…
Next step: Apple removes hardware from box and ships aspiration only.
As an end user, ie. not someone who either hosts an instance or has extra permissions, can we in anyway see who voted on a post or comment?
I’m asking because over the time I’ve been here, I’ve noticed that many, but not all, posts or comments attract a solitary down vote.
I see this type of thing all over the place. Sometimes it’s two down votes, indicating that it happens more than once.
I note that human behaviour might explain this to some extent, but the voting happens almost immediately, in the face of either no response, or positive interactions.
Feels a lot like the Reddit down vote bots.
It absolutely is.
It’s possibly also how they’ll get broken up by the DoJ.
I think that every single provider tracks your activity and the vast majority of them use it to optimise their service income from you, either by giving you better engagement, ie. making you use the service more - endless searching for content for example, or by selling the captured tracking data to the highest bidder.
I experienced this crazy onslaught of advertising to the point of reducing how much I watched YouTube. I was pretty upset and not at all inclined to pay, especially since YouTube was even putting ads on my own videos without me seeing a single cent, because my channel is too small.
Then my partner bought me a few months of a Premium Subscription as a Christmas gift.
It was pointed out to me that I watched more YouTube than any other streaming service which I was paying for.
Combined with background music on mobile, it’s changed my life.
I’m still unimpressed with the business model, but the alternative is so far worse.
Find me a self publishing video platform with the reach of YouTube that doesn’t require self hosting and I’ll happily move my content there.
You could use a cron job to grep through the file and reformat the output into a webpage, markdown, or plain-text file.

Is it just me who is sceptical about anything new from Intel at the moment?
Mind you, this is not the first time that this feeling has existed, there was a standing joke amongst IT professionals in the mid 1990s that the sticker “Intel Inside” was actually a warning label, referencing the Pentium FDIV bug.
So, a profitable half and the one that will go bankrupt?
And many of them are heading to BlueSky…
Wow!
I’m guessing that WordPress will be forked soon …
