  • Based in Israel, don’t get anything. This is standard as our contacts usually specify that a third of our salary is legally considered compensation for overtime.

    There’s no defined schedule, it’s mostly “whoever is available will take care of the incident, and if multiple people are available then they should join too”. It will obviously not go smoothly if you’re never available. This is terrible, I wonder if there are any other places that behave like this.

    It should be noted that this isn’t weird considered the working hours are quite bad compared to the OECD, not terrible though.










  • Love me some systemd timers. Much more fun than cron.

    • Sane handling of environment variables with EnvironmentFile=
    • Out of the box logging. Especially useful is the ability to journalctl -f to watch long-running processes, which I’m not sure whether possible with cron
    • The ability to trigger the service manually rather than setting the timer to * * * * *, then forgetting it’s supposed to run in a minute, get distracted, come back in 15 minutes

    My only complaint is it’s a bit verbose. I’d rather have it as an option inside the .service file. The .timer requires some boilerplate like [Unit].description (it… uh… triggers a service. that’s the description), and WantedBy=timers.target. But these are small prices to pay






  • In an email statement on Monday, a spokesperson for Tinder said the company disputes the study.

    “Based on Tinder’s data, the figures highlighted in this study are highly misleading and do not accurately represent our members,” the spokesperson wrote. “Study participants were only given three options to describe themselves — ‘celibate’, ‘in a relationship’ or ‘widowed’ — with no option for ‘single.’ This likely resulted in a completely skewed depiction of who Tinder members are and what they seek.”

    Just don’t write the article lol. Just put the draft in the trash and move on. I hate rating-based media






  • You nailed it, it only pulls posts from communities that someone on your instance subbed to. It doesn’t even pull retroactively; your instance only starts pulling posts created after the first subscriber on the instance subbed.

    I’m more concerned regarding media, because just like Mastodon, the pics themselves are copied from other instances onto yours. I hope it will be enough to just find -mtime -delete once in a while
