Just an Aussie tech guy - home automation, ESP gadgets, networking. Also love my camping and 4WDing.
Be a good motherfucker. Peace.
Jesus - they don’t even name the report so interested people can search for it. Lame.
Also, least-intrusive doesn’t mean most-trustworthy. Just don’t use any of them or, if you do, be sure to take all steps at your disposal to not give any personal information to them.
lol - I love that I canned all my paid subs that were fucking me up the arse like this, and then used the savings to setup a half-decent Plex server for my family. Fuck those greedy cunts.
Well, that’s probably because he’s hit the cap on base salary. After a certain point in Amazon, the majority of your income at Amazon is derived from shares.
That said, after the signing shares are yours after the first 4-5 years, you’re down to the yearly grants they hand out, which come the year after they were granted, in quarterly amounts.
Also, if your brother is high up, he probably got more shares this year than usual, as Amazon announced that only certain levels and below were getting salary increases. Higher up only got shares.
God, that’s bleak
How are they retaining staff?
They retain them for the 4-5 years it takes for signing cash and signing stock units to all run out, at which point many people start to get itchy feet.
Yeah - they call it URA, for “unregretted attrition”. Tell me that doesn’t sound like a shitty way to manage your people.
You know, at some point, you gotta assume they’ll eventually hire and fire/lose all the usable talent they have access to, and shit like this will prevent them finding new talent. Until some exec “invents” WFH as a perk…
Absolutely nothing bad could ever come of this
Later in the same comment I mention how I think social media only benefits the corporations that run it.
It’s pretty clear what I meant.
Fucking hell. Where’s the incentive for responsible disclosure, if that’s the sort of (non) response you get?
My own belief is that all social media is a cancer, and to be avoided entirely. I’m able to do that for myself, but I’m also realistic about the chances of keeping my kids away from it. So, I focus my energy on trying to equip them with the mental skills to neutralise the toxic aspects of social media.
For my 9yo, that means teaching her to employ natural skepticism and critical thinking. I’m also trying to drum into her the understanding that social media is inherently untrustworthy and unreliable, and exists solely for the benefit of the corporations that run it.
That said, I’ve blocked Tik Tok on my home network, much to the older kids’ chagrin. They have to use mobile data if they want to access that shit on their phones.
The casting bit is the missing piece for me.
I’ve built a RasPi with Kodi for our caravan, to use Plex and stream our free-to-air TV here in Australia (using Musk’s space innernets). I just miss being able to cast from my phone, for the occasional thing I can’t do with a Kodi add-on.
Shit like this is why I intend to keep my (currently) 9yo as far away from social media as I can, for as long as I can. This fucking terrifies me, as it should any parent.
Well, at least where I live, phones are banned in schools. So that’s a good start.
This is odd advice, when you consider many kids in the same age group probably have access to (or own) a tablet device of some sort. The only difference with a smartphone is the ability to call and text, and portability while staying connected (assuming many tablets aren’t 4G/5G capable).
Or am I missing something here?
I paid a subscription fee for the option
I’m starting to really hate this timeline. Might be time to pick another door.
This makes me glad I pirate their content. Cunts.
DCs do indirectly create/support a lot of jobs, though. Construction is an obvious one, but even running a DC requires lots of additional people that often aren’t employed by the DC owner/operator.
I can absolutely attest to the fact that it takes even less than 20 directly-employed people to run an entire DC, including the racks of gear within it. But there are quite literally dozens and dozens more contractors and vendors involved in maintaining the facility and the equipment within them:
And the list goes on. My point is that DCs can absolutely be a significant driver of employment and economic activity, just not all directly.
Hmmm - interesting. I hadn’t bothered to check before now, but I’m seeing something similar on one of the two PBS CTs I run.
Comparing the output of
netstat -lantopon both CTs, I can see that the one with more outbound traffic has more waiting connections from localhost on port 82, the port Proxmox Backup Servers provides its API over:tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:51562 127.0.0.1:82 TIME_WAIT - timewait (40.38/0/0) tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:56342 127.0.0.1:82 TIME_WAIT - timewait (29.92/0/0) tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:44864 127.0.0.1:82 TIME_WAIT - timewait (58.94/0/0) tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:45028 127.0.0.1:82 TIME_WAIT - timewait (11.88/0/0) tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:44026 127.0.0.1:82 TIME_WAIT - timewait (48.66/0/0) tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:44852 127.0.0.1:82 TIME_WAIT - timewait (58.80/0/0) tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:59620 127.0.0.1:82 TIME_WAIT - timewait (0.00/0/0) tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:56374 127.0.0.1:82 TIME_WAIT - timewait (30.98/0/0) tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:51544 127.0.0.1:82 TIME_WAIT - timewait (39.98/0/0) tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:59642 127.0.0.1:82 TIME_WAIT - timewait (0.00/0/0) tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:45008 127.0.0.1:82 TIME_WAIT - timewait (10.92/0/0) tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:45016 127.0.0.1:82 TIME_WAIT - timewait (11.76/0/0)I’m wondering if the graph is pulling aggregated network data, including the loopback interface. If so, and it’s all just port 82 stuff on 127.0.0.1, then it’s probably nothing to worry about.
Edit: found this forum post that seems to indicate it’s aggregating all the byte values from
/proc/dev/net, so this is probably nothing to worry about if yournetstatoutput, like mine, only shows API conections to/from 127.0.0.1 on port 82.
