Yeah, it demotivated me too with the limited lives… If you still want Duolingo, I can mention that it has regional pricing, so you only need a VPN server in India to get it much much cheaper.

But it’s understandable if you don’t want to support those kinds of business practices in any way.

The depth perception also makes quite a difference. The side of your face can clearly be seen in a mirror to be the side of your face, but depending on lighting, the side of your face can look as if it’s part of the front of your face in a picture as you don’t have the depth perception. The result is that photos make you look fatter than your mirror image would.

Nope, but I trust the ones that lack the hardware for dialing home.

But generally I don’t buy devices unless I have reason to trust them.

As the other poster said, both Zigbee and Zwave devices do not talk to the Internet. They can’t even connect to your Wi-Fi anyway. They need to connect to a device that acts as a router but specifically for Zigbee or Zwave, usually called a Hub or Coordinator.

There’s many different hubs around. Many commercial ones do indeed connect directly to the WiFi and therefore internet. But nothing is stopping you from buying a USB Dongle Hub with open source firmware and plugging it into a Raspberry Pi, if you want to eliminate the potential spying.

The Zigbee and Zwave networks inherently cannot communicate with the Internet. So the only risk of spying is if you installed something in the Raspberry that spies on you.

Both Philips Hue and IKEA Trådfri and many other vendors simply use Zigbee, which means you can bring your own Hub and completely eliminate the risk of spying.

This one terrifies me every time… When you pass a car going the opposite way, and it basically looks wike the steering wheel have a wig on… It’s always an old woman… Can they even see the road? Or are they navigating using the sky?

Beautiful!

This, but for playing VR games

Since you are talking about pods, you are obviously emitting all your logs on stdout and stderr, and you have of course also labeled your pods nicely, so grepping all 36 gods is as easy as kubectl logs -l <label-key>=<label-value> | grep <search-term>

My personal opinion is that soy milk tastes like grass… I’ve tried it in coffee, alone, on cereal, but I just can’t avoid feeling like someone dumped a handful of freshly cut grass in…

Almond is pretty good on it’s own, but in coffee it tastes like marzipan… It’s not bad, but not the taste I want in my coffee.

Oat is what tastes most like cow’s milk to me.

Ghost in the Shell is rapidly becoming a documentary.

Well… If you want to earn A LOT of money before mainframes are entirely sunset, and are perfectly happy maintaining code that’s older than yourself and only working for very rigid banks… Then COBOL isn’t actually that bad of a choice…

If you like your sanity, you should probably tear clear, though.

Unfortunately true, but what a wonderful language it is.

Sure, there’s also the scratch image, which is entirely empty… So if your app is just a single statically linked binary, your entire container contents can be a single binary.

The busybox image is also more barebones than alpine, but still has a couple of basic tools.

Containers can be entirely without anything. Some containers only contain the binary that gets executed. But many containers do contain pretty much a full distribution, but I have yet to see a container with a password hash in its /etc/shadow file…

So while the container has a root account, it doesn’t have any login at all, no password, no ssh key, nothing.

Summer is my favorite day of the year!
