And that’s why it’s called “production environment” I guess

I don’t know the Immich API, but I’ve seen several REST APIs that used the usual pattern of

GET /api/v1/user/<id> - read user
POST /api/v1/user/ - create user
...

but also allowed

GET /api/v1/user/<id> - read user
GET /api/v1/user/?action=create - create user
...

It’s fine, the blockchain is now augmented with some AI and runs serverless in the cloud!

This reminds me of that work from home employee that just “outsourced” his own job to China from a few years ago…

Well, VDSL and VDSL2 use 138kHz to 12MHz and then 30-35.5MHz (according to the german Wikipedia - I couldn’t find that table in the English article.)

Powerline has several standards (same as above, couldn’t find that table in the English Wikipedia), but the frequency range starts at 2-4MHz and ends at 20-30MHz (with one standard using 30-68MHz).

For DSL, there’s not really a problem using these frequencies but powerline transmits at a higher power and intentionally uses cross talk as a feature. The byproduct is that now your power cables act as an antenna and the Powerline signal “leaks”.

Medium Frequency radio stations e.g. use the band from about 520kHz to 1.6MHz which correlates with Powerline and can be affected by it. Edit: Medium Frequency transmissions in general (300kHz - 3MHz) and High Frequency transmissions (3MHz - 30MHz) can be affected, but radio stations shouldn’t (~530kHz - 1.6MHz).

And yes, if you’re transmitting “strong enough” over Powerline (depending on your adapter and how well your cables act as an antenna) one could recieve your signal and decode it. IIRC the signal is encrypted (somewhat like WiFi - the adapters need to be paired to talk to each other), but I don’t know much details about it.

Just beware, if you’re in a place where you can only get DSL and coax or fiber are not available - Powerline does use the same frequencies as DSL and both the power cables and your landline are unshielded wires. So there will be cross talk and powerline can and probably will affect your DSL connection. Also depending on your cables and the powerline adapters you use, you may disturb radio stations in a wider area around your house.

… value of allocating budget for test environments and disaster recovery …

I mean, they do have a test environment. Everyone does have one!

They’re just missing a separated production environment…

…its just a password to access a list of passwords.

Unless you never thought of, implemented, regularly did and regularly tested your backup of the database. Or… try to use it on more than one device - maybe even at the same time.

That’s the main problem with KeePass. It’s nice to have it offline, fully under your control and out of the cloud, but that comes with some responsibilities on your end. And now think of how the average user solves this. If you’re tech savvy enough, KeePass is great!

In most jurisdictions this project wouldn’t have any problem, when it’s a “clean room” implementation - meaning they figured out by themselves how the server works.

Several jurisdictions even allow reverse engineering and such to ensure compatibility / supporting an product that hasn’t any official support anymore.

Others simply don’t care.

It’s all in the details, but they might not get sued that easily.

I’m donating to a few projects and also to some fediverse admins, whose instance I use.

I really like liberapay as a platform, but there are other ways I use for donations, too. Recurring payment is preferred for projects that are important for me, but one time donations are fine too. I just constantly forget that I should probably donate again for projects that don’t have a way for Recurring donations and they’re probably missing out…

The problem isn’t that it can’t get wet. The problem is that it mustn’t get wet.

THIS is podracing procrastinating
