Looks to me close to typical DWH setup like many large corporations have, except for the ClickHouse specific settings and Docker usage (most DEs seem to be skeptical of anything that isn't SQL in my experience)

this video alleges that it might've been because he downloaded an infected mod for a game: https://youtu.be/ZGScvWIyw2E
Not sure why they would dox him, maybe to throw him under the bus after he found out he got pwned and cut them off?

in theory, if it has been activated once on that machine it should install without a product key and activate based on hardware identifiers, so should be fine to nuke the partition

> In theory, the combination of CMY at 100% (100,100,100) creates black, In practice it creates a muddy brown due to limitations of toner (and ink) secondaries.
i believe this may be because the combined absorption spectrum of a "full C M Y dot" still has gaps that a "full K" toner is engineered to cover?

Interesting, seems like developers unionizing is getting popular in Europe. Is there any union for general software devs in Germany? I know workers council (Betriebsrat) is popular but that's very company-dependent.

_Gargoyles represent the embarrassing side of the Central Intelligence Corporation. Instead of using laptops, they wear their computers on their bodies, broken up into separate modules that hang on the waist, on the back, on the headset. They serve as human surveillance devices, recording everything that happens around them. Nothing looks stupider; these getups are the modern-day equivalent of the slide-rule scabbard or the calculator pouch on the belt, marking the user as belonging to a class that is at once above and far below human society. They are a boon to Hiro because they embody the worst stereotype of the CIC stringer. They draw all the attention. The payoff for this self-imposed ostracism is that you can be in the Metaverse all the time, and gather intelligence all the time_

A few months ago it worked for me. I am in EU so IIRC they are legally required to let you cancel your contract for 14 days if you entered into it remotely (phone, internet etc). It seems like changing subscription plan counts as getting a new contract with Adobe.

Having looked at the job offers I see some overlap between my experience and what you need - I've been working previously as a backend dev and a data engineer, in spare time made a little go app to control a BLE enabled vaporizer - but I've never used React, my JS knowledge is kind of stuck circa 2012...
