Yeah, basically you’d have to cut those figures down to 1/4 of what they are before I’d consider them reasonable.

I do agree with you in principle – if the organizer is feeding everyone, it’s only decent to pitch in a few bucks to cover the groceries.

Looking at the post, it’s $345 for commuters – or about $70 per meal.

For people staying in the accommodations, it’s about $210 per night.

Overall, that seems expensive for a camping trip on Meetup.

Is it not an ID because of that? I don’t see the relevance of mentioning address here.

Edit: oh, proof of residence? I went back and re-read the GP. It makes more sense in that context.

United States ID card

Passport seems like it sorta fits, but it’s hardly universal.

Perfection.

From the thumbnail, I thought there was a bench there. Something about the planter, I think.

I use podman at work, mostly just a Docker replacement. My biggest problem with it is typing “pdoman” in commands by mistake.

I just hope they actually have their social security card. A quick googling told me that you need a current ID to get the social security administration to issue a replacement card. Talk about a vicious cycle!

What do you get when you cross Family guy with BTTF?

1.21 giggetywatts!

Stop patronizing restaurants where they don’t pay their staff a livable wage.

In most parts of the US, that’s all of them. This position is de facto “never eat out or order takeout”. I’m not sure that’s entirely realistic.

Thank you for writing 57°F instead of 57.20°F :)

I’m listening ;)

when there are well designed and vetted ones available?

I’m not convinced of this, tbh. IIRC the RFC can’t be described in a regex at all.

And given that the appliance needs to communicate with the app on your phone while you’re not home in the first place, there probably isn’t even a separate tracking API vs. data just being harvested as part of normal operations. So “back door” doesn’t really fit. “Broken by design” or “spyware” would be more apt, I think.

Still, I’m really not a fan of calling any spying/data harvesting a “front door” – IIRC, the term was coined by an FBI head pushing for back doors in our phones so the FBI could scan our messages. But he called it a “front door” as a way to dodge the reasons why building back doors in our security software is a terrible idea.

It’s just another step in the terrible trend of “let’s pretend that this horrible idea is ok if we just rename it” :(

What would the “front door” even be in this case? What comes to my mind is the corresponding app on your phone, but that doesn’t really make sense in this context.

Honestly, I can’t even imagine what it would be like having only owned two cars in my whole life.

Easy, just think back to when you were driving your second car ;)

What typically prompts you to buy a new car?

For me, it’s always been that I “need” a car for commuting, so I’ve looked for something reliable and efficient (I put “need” in quotes because technically, the bus routes in my city could have gotten me to work without a car. Turning a 20 minute drive into a 90 minute bus ride isn’t super palatable, though).

I bought my first car used and my second car new around the time Cash for Clunkers was affecting the used car market.

Oh, I didn’t think about having multiple cars. Are you a big car guy?

I’m in my early 40s, and I’ve owned two cars. I bought my current car after the last one got rear-ended.

Sidenote, I’m not counting cars that belonged to spouses or the car I drove in college – technically, that one belonged to my parents. If you add those in, I’m probably up to 6 or 7 cars.

Yikes, do you get a new car every single year?

I’m more of a “buy something reliable and drive it 'til it breaks” type.

Simple: Computers are not doors with locks. Antivirus is not a deadbolt, and IMO it’s really misleading to compare them. You’re trying to tell people in this thread that you need AV on Linux, against consensus, “because security”. I still don’t understand why you think it’s necessary. What’s your threat model? How does AV improve security on your servers in a way that a firewall doesn’t?

Did you know that there’s another jackoneil on lemmy? Except he spells his name with just one ‘l’, and he has no sense of humor at all.
