If you are an asylee or refugee in the US and:

(1) You applied to a job at SpaceX but were rejected

(2) You were discouraged from applying to SpaceX because you were not a U.S. citizen or permanant resident

(3) A recruiter or SpaceX employee told you that SpaceX could only hire U.S. citizens and/or permanent residents.

you may be entitled to back pay or other damages for SpaceX's discriminatory hiring practices.

📷 La dernière moisson de #streetart #tag #tags #graffiti. J’ai profité de grillages temporairement déplacés pour me glisser entre les bretelles du périphérique entourant #paris (au niveau du lieu La Bretelle, côté #Paris13). Ça évolue régulièrement dans le coin, je note de repasser. #art #street #photo #photography

Burning Man starts this weekend, apparently.

As someone who has a fair bit of knowledge about security, I'm asking you to please, please don't buy internet-connected children's toys.

My new Linux laptop is pretty sweet

"I'm dead! DEAD, I tell you!!" - dramatic grass snake I came across the other day. He's completely fine, just playing dead - he slithered off once I'd moved him off the path where I found him.

“In Finland, the # of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Anyone interested is free to join in!

Exactly 14 years ago , Satoshi Nakamoto designed the most pathetic / inefficient system ever invented by humankind : the blockchain.

Today, it weights 60 000 tons, wastes constantly 10 gigawatts .. to process less than 7 transactions per second :

Less than a 33 bps modem from 1990.

This could be joke if it didn't have such gigantic environmental impact, wasn't enabling billion dolllars ransomware industry and was not crushing thousands of lives in the process.

Anyone out there have success with a #DigitalOcean Managed PostgreSQL 15 live DB migration?
