Perhaps the blog you could store in the cloud somewhere, along with regular backups in the form of physical media? Over time, make backups on any other kind of new storage that comes along. I think redundancy would be key for this.

> Anyway, Late September/Early October is rife with outages for as long as we've been running internet services.

Is there any particular source for that or is it just something that you've noticed? Feel like I do see more around this time of year but would be real interested if there is data backing it up.

If you're using Ubuntu, Ubuntu Landscape I've found is the only thing that comes close without creating too much yourself. But even that requires adding scripts to check compliance, so scripted osquery might be better if you just want reporting only

Seems interesting. So I suppose your focus long term is on the products side of thing only, to allow merchants to work out which products they should sell? Do you plan on adding any other insights for data such as shipping etc?

It's not recent clips, but SomaFM has a station "Mission Control" that plays archives from the space program over some ambient music.

Updating Google Authenticator was probably the best gift to us before they had a break.

Any countries utilizing the wider tech community to help with Covid? Why not?

Over the past few years, we've seen massive amounts of innovation throughout the world in terms of new technology and scientific discoveries. During that time, a lot have been open-source contributions.It's understandable that technology won't solve everything, but it helps to get us to the point of solving it or helping to mitigate the issue sooner (for example, track and trace products)I've...

Re:GitHub Releases Dark Mode on Wednesday December 09, 2020 @05:22AM (#25357154)
I think the mix of font colours is also a problem on the diffs alongside the dark green, which makes it really hard to see what's going on. I've switched back to light mode for reviewing PRs
I'd love to start recommending hardware keys as a go-to over TOTP but I often find that the cost is not great (taking mostly the Yubikey and Titan into consideration). Especially for people that aren't all that bothered with securing accounts in the first place, they see it as an unnecessary cost.

Same for companies a lot of the time.

Are there any cheaper, but still reliable hardware keys nowadays?

Re:Show HN: Remotely Controlled Escape Room on Wednesday September 09, 2020 @12:12PM (#24422509)
Great idea! Are the rooms reset after each round to make way for the next group, or is it built in such a way that they can continue from the previous attendees setup?

Also I think as a potential player, it would be great to see an example video of it in action within the browser. Unfortunately the idea is something that could often be done poorly with a lack of actions/control, so I would prefer to see exactly what I'm paying for in terms of the setup.

I've been looking for a solution like this aside from the standard Jamf/Fleetsmith options which are quite intrusive and give too much access to devices. Did you build that monitoring agent yourself, or is it an already available solution?
Yeah it almost reads like a comparison piece. Pretty much all of the points relate back to the fact developers are adding manual updates and how the competitor solves it by integrating Git PRs and commits. However that's easily possible in JIRA now via the integrations (e.g. GitHub) and automations to close tickets depending on the status.

Still, even then with the automations in any of this software to show VCS updates you're going to get managers asking for updates depending on your environment.

I feel like the classic UI was a massive pain for configuring workflows, fields and other tasks which also fuelled a lot of the hate. But in the new version at least it's much better IMO.
