Not a lawyer.
But how to "cover your ass".

If pressured to still send a quote with it included, ask your manager to email over the details - ie get it in writing.
You are looking for them to tell you to include this unprovidable service in the quote as part of the details/instructions.
IE your manager to tell you to do the unethical thing in writing.
And respond back along the lines of "as discussed, we can't provide this service and can't procure it from the upstream provider. However I will do as instructed and email the quote to the customer with this service included".
This is indicating that you have discussed it (ideally save any other emails about this subject).
If your boss emails back "we haven't discussed this", then raise the issue in writing and don't send the quote until it is resolved by email (if your boss talks to you in person, feel free to send a "follow up" email outlining what you discussed and ask for clarification).
If your boss emails back "do as you are told", then do as you are told.
Save all the emails.

BCC to a personal account will be seen in server logs. Better to export backups or take screenshots and put them on a USB. Or ZIP them with a password and find a way to exfil them without raising red flags if USB devices are restricted. There are many ways to do this, I'm sure I can suggest some.

Generally, working under instruction where your pushback might lead to termination generally results in unfair dismissal and settlements.
Especially if you can prove that you have raised the issue, and still been told to proceed.

It doesn't sound like this is a risk-to-life or risk-to-public scenario, so I don't think "whistle blower" procedures are needed.

Doesn't even have to be an instance.
Custom code that runs the pubsub protocol... Without publishing anything.
Everything is open.
Unless instance admins find the ~~pub~~sub instance suspicious and defederate it, at which point it won't be able to receive posts/comments

I found that a very difficult video to watch, the editting really grated on my nerves.

However, it is a pretty damn accurate breakdown of an imagine dragons song, and the end result is pretty good.

  1. Sweat.
  2. Blood.
  3. Saliva.
  4. Urine.
  5. Semen.
  6. Vaginal discharge (is there a better name for this?).
  7. ... Tears? Or is it diarrhea?

Just give the migrants $100k each?
Where DOGE on all this? I presume rescheduling NASAs priorities to mars, Department of Transports priorities to Teslas, and making sure the FCC is pushing starlink... no doubt

It looks like the AI hallucinated a new axis of rotation and confidently started rotating the tires on that axis

a man who mistook her for transgender verbally threatened her in a women’s restroom

...
I thought it was trans people that were a threat in women's restrooms. Turns out its assholes that are the threat.

Maybe a case with additional buttons?

Found that from googling. No idea how good/useful it is.

I was aware of kubernetes 6 months ago, but had never used it.
I got a 3 node cluster running in a day, and was learning kubernetes.
The only issues I've had were due to hardware failure causing etcd instability, and misconfigured operators generating terabytes of logs leading to pod eviction.

I don't know what would signify it being production ready. It had all the levers and knobs I needed. I haven't yet needed to run a sysadmin debug container to poke around the host OS.
It's also great for learning. If you make a mistake, it's very easy to wipe and reinstall and get back to where you were.

I see no reason you can't use yaml.
Yaml and json are essentially identical for basic purposes.

Once the scraper has been confirmed working, are you going to be doing a lot of reading/editing of the raw data? It might as well be a binary blob (which is a bad idea as it couples the raw data to your specific implementation)

 

I've been here a while, and I appreciate the community and the defed/hiding list.
I also know programming.dev contributes to upstream Lemmy repos.

I saw another post about another instances funding.
Which reminded me....

Is programming.dev on track for funding?
Need some more donations?
Is there a runway?
