Description: tool for tunneling IPv4 data through a DNS server
This is a piece of software that lets you tunnel IPv4 data through a DNS
server. This can be usable in different situations where internet access is
firewalled, but DNS queries are allowed.

Nobody has really answered the last part of my question. I'm not asking whether or not this is ethical, I'm asking how can I keep the employees who don't leave in a state of perception where they think I'm ready to fire and replace them at any moment. I don't want them to realize their position and leverage it against me.

I've been thinking about holding the promise of upping wage by a dollar and to keep pushing out the date as means of helping them realize how easy their work is. I'm not going to allow non-committed hires to devour the value of my business over what amounts to easy work. They know it's easy work.

I don't appreciate the sarcasm. Things have become tight. And after some knuckleheads couldn't handle basic tasks in a basic industry, I have found we are able to operate with just half of the staff I used to pay. The ones who stick around know their worth.

What I'm worried about is that the remainder will also try an leave, knowing that I rely on them more than ever before. So my angle is to obfuscate the fact that I actually need them. How do I make sure they can't read me on that?

the only “good” thing is the convenience

How many party favors and discount happy meal toys do you purchase?

bragging about how awesome it was that the federal government was providing extra money and it was like working a good job…

Revolt hush money. I'm sure this was ran through a simulation at some prior time, "how can we pacify a domestic population that might reject what we're about to do to them?" Money, of course.

 

Is it good employer strategy to pay my employees just enough so that they can't save money, so that they can never walk away from the job?

Like, there is a threshold where if they are able to save X per month, they will eventually use that against you and quit at an inopportune time?

And if that threshold falls below state mandated minimum wage, what steps can be taken to mitigate this?

For anything new that enters my life, I want 100% for it to not be anything at all to do with digital technology.

And if it absolutely must be digital technology it non-negotiably must be:

  1. Libre/open source
  2. Decentralized, self-hostable
  3. Open schematic (if hardware)

Anything mobile is a total lost cause. I have ZERO interest in "smart" phones. Fuck that noise.

"Perfection is only achieved when there is nothing left to take away."

I have done okay at keeping unnecessary crapware from creeping into my life, but there is the occasional second hand smoke from the masses who will bend over for literally anything.

They must not have been active at all within the circles of freedom and privacy advocacy. It was a self-inflicted death.

And also the second hand smoke phenomenon: When you use big tech, you softly compel those around you to also use big tech. The more people that give in and acquiesce, the harder it becomes for the hold outs to continue to resist.

I've amassed a sizeable hoard, nearly all encoded h264 or h265.

The space savings made by AV1 are attractive, but I don't want to move on it until after I've acquired hardware capable of AV1 GPU accelerated decode.

Even then, the cost of reacquiring some works has to be weighed. Storage space gets freed; but how often do I actually revisit some cherished items?

Anybody else having to make similar evaluations?

 

Ah, yes, the Bible on learning XYZ the right way. But I can only see such titles as suggesting the inner content is antithetical to communicating something clearly, concisely and in a way that doesn't leave the learner with even more questions.

 

Roughly ~1/3 requests yields a loading issue. In case you were wondering why Invidious instances reliability seems to have been in decline very recently.

According to open issue

Additional context
This seems to be a global update, done before 22:23 UTC. (10:23 PM.) From my brief testing, this is present throughout all instances, and regardless of IPv6 address.

 

I was recently held up in absolute dead stop traffic. We were sitting on the tarmac with no movement for well over an hour, in the 80 degree sun, before I felt obliged to leave my car and go see if it was because of roadwork or an accident or what.

I joined a small crowd of onlookers after reaching the head, spectating a row of sit-in protesters. One driver had tried to get around but a few protesters moved tactically so that he couldn't go any further without injuring somebody.

I didn't wait around, although there were people phoning the police and some tempers beginning to flare. So I head back to my car. The dairy groceries that I picked up on the way back from work had begun to spoil.

I was late home by nearly three hours, so no time to unwind. Just enough to pack away some old leftovers before heading off to sleep and restart cycle all over, -1 hour or so of sleep.

Previously, I had no opinion whatsoever on whether cars=good or cars=bad. But after being held up in traffic, wasting money, wasting gas, losing sleep and perhaps a bit of my sanity I am now totally on board with the Fuck Cars movement. I couldn't imagine a more convincing strategy to bring people over to your perspective. Excellent thinking. Good job.

 

Especially when those 2nd, 3rd, + properties are being used as passive short term rentals. Observing the state of the housing situation "Hmm there aren't enough homes for normal families to each have a chance, I should turn this extra property of mine into a vacation rental." does this make said person a POS?
