Nah, can’t afford it. Airfare is expensive and my cost of living has increased so I need to work.

if an average joe were to earn the FEDERAL mandated minimum wage of $7.25, is buying a whole weeks worth of groceries affordable with that alone (excluding rent, utilities, insurance, etc)?

Weird question. Probably, yes? If the only thing he of she is buying w earned wage is food and he or she works a full work week, then yes. However in US, rent is typically high.

Do you consider a $200 semi-fancy dinner at a restaurant (not over the top luxurious, but formal & fine dining) with family or friends “cheap” in the US whilst earning $15 (or even $30) per hour in minimum wage?

No

I run a DaaS product Trace Jobs that serves job posting data.

My expectations are pretty low and am never disappointed. Self-hosting can be pretty affordable.

Shameless self-promotion

I was annoyed w job sites so I launched a job posting data service earlier this year. Trace Jobs serves data from 38,000+ sources and ingests ~50k new records daily. The data is unmolested by “AI enhancement” and is served as reported by the source.

There’s a copy-paste command you can try and an examples page with links to fresh results. Sign up for an API key to send real queries to the database.

Hello world!

I’ve been writing it for a month, already released 5 projects. ; )

By targetting, I’m talking about serving different ads to different users. Of course when an ad is created it targets a specific audience but thats not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about collecting user data for the purpose of targeting them with specific ads.

Ie- User is a young male, so show sports betting ads vs this is an ad for a vpn, serve it to everyone

Agree and only if theres a shift. Distrowatch has had ads for decades for example

Unpopular take: dumb, non-targetted, ads could create revenue for server providers which may increase service quality and availability

I wouldn’t recommend deploying any ssh server without reviewing the config and believe sane defaults are sane.

Radio and TV are like apples and oranges. Sure, they’re both fruit, but they’re different enough to occupy different niches in our diets

I was 429ing a little too liberally, so I upped my burst rate. This week, just like last week, most of my traffic was bots. But if a real user does come by, I want his or her experience to be pleasant enough.

IMO neither. People reap what they sow. Nothing is entitled to anyone.

My local convenience store is open 247365. If I need something, there’s a good chance they stock it or something to substitute. I dont shop there all the time for everything, but when I need something I’m glad they’re around and def not outraged.

Probably a silly question: Is serving HTML required? git exists after all

OP: what’s an invaluable experience in life?
