Waze is owned by Google, and they’re slowly converging over time.

Delivery starts at $19 at my local IKEA, as long as you’re within a certain radius from the store.

My wife’s mum was helping me move everything from a two-bedroom unit, in a Toyota Yaris hatchback. Completely filled the car with stuff. It took maybe six or seven trips back and forth, but we got it done eventually.

This was before I had a drivers license or much money, so I couldn’t just rent a truck, nor could I afford to pay a mover.

In Aussie but I’ve been living in the USA for 11 years. There’s definitely some bad things in the US, but there’s also a bunch of good things.

Depends on the country. In Australia, the deposit is held by the government and the landlord needs to apply to get it, which includes showing receipts for any work they had to do. It goes back to the tenant by default. The system in the USA (where the landlord holds the deposit) doesn’t make a lot of sense as they aren’t really incentivized to return it to the tenant.

You need one with a serrated edge so you can cut your mouth when you use it as a spoon.

Most ACs are reverse cycle these days since it’s a very minimal extra cost to allow it to both heat and cool - it just needs a four-way reversing valve. There’s no point making it only cool when you can instead make it both heat and cool for a similar price.

The USA is weird though. Companies still make units that only cool, and strangely there’s a big price difference between cooling-only systems vs reverse cycle systems. I haven’t seen this in other countries.

Split systems use heat pumps. I think you might be talking about a wall- or ceiling-mounted split system vs a ducted system. It’s the same technology for both.

These usually have a horribly dirty filter inside, because the hotel never cleans it.

Is this a common thing? I’m Aussie so I have no idea about guns.

User agents are essentially deprecated and are going to become less and less useful over time. The replacement is either client hints or feature detection, depending on what you’re using it for.

Most developers just write their own feature checks (a lot of detections are just a single line of code) or use a library that polyfills the feature if it’s missing.

The person you’re replying to is right, though. Modernizr popularized this approach. It predates npm, and npm still isn’t their main distribution method, so the npm download numbers don’t mean anything.

That’s exactly what you’re supposed to do with the modern web, via feature detection and client hints.

The user agent in Chrome (and I think Firefox too) is “frozen” now, meaning it no longer receives any major updates.

The kerning looks okay - it’s the font that’s weird.

That really depends on the company. At big tech companies, it’s common for the levels and salary bands to be the same for both generalists (or full stack or whatever you want to call them) and specialists.

It also changes depending on market conditions. For example, frontend engineers used to be in higher demand than backend and full-stack.

At least back then, snaps wouldn’t work if the home folders were not under /home/<username>,

Do you mean that it literally had /home/ hard-coded instead of using $HOME? That’s crazy if so.

I use a wildcard cert in some places, but most of them are individual certs. You can have multiple ACME DNS challenges on a single domain, for example _acme-challenge.first.int.example.com and _acme-challenge.second.int.example.com for first.int.example.com and second.int.example.com respectively.

The DNS challenge just makes you create a TXT record at that _acme-challenge subdomain. Let’s Encrypt follows CNAMES and supports IPv6-only DNS servers, so I’m using some software called “acme-dns” to run a DNS server specifically for ACME DNS challenges. It’s just listening on a IPv6 in one of my VPS /64 IPv6 range.

IMO it’s easiest to just use a real domain for your local network. For example, I use subdomains of int.example.com, where example.com is my blog.

Then, you can get Let’s Encrypt or ZeroSSL certificates for all the hosts. Systems do not need to be accessible over the internet - you can use an ACME DNS challenge instead of a HTTP one. Use something like certbot or acme.sh and renewals will be automated.

The only cost is for one domain, and some TLDs are less than $5/year. Check tld-list.com and sort by renewal price, not registration price (as some are only cheap for the first year).
