That’s the coast. Of gulf. Of Mexico.

So you think a billionaire just has a billion dollars in their bank account?

Do you really belive that everyone’s labor is worth the same? So a miner that spends hours on end underground risking black lung or a ton of other nasty stuff and a Walmart greeter should have the same compensation?

Also, how is listening a song on Spotify “labor”??? Where can I get that job? Are you guys getting paid for being fans of someone?

So only Americans are allowed to have an opinion just so you can disregard it for being American? Seems like iraqis like genocide and strawmans!

Poland funded neither side, it was busy being occupied by a hostile foreign power.

Is bigotry an organization???

Jk, the phrasing worked funny…

I follow NCD mainly for the memes about Russian military, I have never paid enough attention to see any gender discussion or similar…

I’m not “X” but, (insert the most vile thing people in group X usually say)

This is a stereotype that predates the internet.

We rent servers in the cloud because it’s cheaper than owning them. I did the same for some projects when I was freelancing.

The software I write… I don’t own it, same as an electrician doesn’t own the cables he installs in your house. It’s the product I’m getting paid to create, why would I own it?

This whole “we should own the means of production” screams of 19th century farmers and factory workers. It’s 2025, plenty of people already own their means of production, from IT bros and lawyers to farmers, electricians and cleaning personnel. And communism didn’t have to do anything with it.

My means of production are a laptop and an internet connection. I have both. My employer can keep the surplus value, as long as they do the customer handling, accounting, marketing, etc, all of which I had to do myself being self-employed.

So, what is everyone having for dinner?

So why is it more common for mechanics to be exploited by jiffy lube? Other than things that require the dealership (to keep the warranty, for instance) I always go to small shops, with max 2 or 3 employees. As far as I know, jacks, wrenches and screwdrivers haven’t gotten up in price. In my opinion, starting your own shop is hard and people prefer to go the easy way.

I know I did. I myself was self-employed for a while and I went back to a salary, the few extra bucks are not worth the effort. Yes, my employer makes some profit from my work and we have a millionaire CEO, but I can go on vacation or call in sick without stress consuming my time. I’m not in the US tho…

Which means exactly are we seizing back?

Because I already own my means of production… And in western countries, where 80%+ of population works in the services sector, it’s not a unique situation. A lawyer, an accountant, even a mechanic or electrician already own their means of production.

We don’t live in the 1800s anymore…

If 11 people are sitting at a table with a known Nazi, chatting, enjoying themselves and having a great time, you have a table with 12 nazis.

All answers you got here are good, but it depends how simple do you want it.

Your current solution doesn’t meet one of your criteria already. The code that produces the data cannot run for an extended period of time if it keeps all data in memory and only writes it at shutdown (or USR1).

It would be trivial to modify the program to write on every new data point collected. Then you just tail that file from the Webserver process.

You could use more performant solutions, like explicit pipes, Unix sockets, websockets, or even shared memory, but keeping it simple is often the best way. This makes your data collection better (no memory “leaks”) without really adding code, you could in fact remove code (USR1 handling).

I agree that it’s bad, and it should be forbidden… but with the whole US decisions that “corporations are people” and “money is speech”, I think it’s legally questionable.

They are assholes, sure… but are they wrong?

What facts? Republicans absolutely do not stand for the little guy…

You could spin up instances of cloud servers just for the time of your connection, but that would be slower to set up and probably more expensive (depends how much time you spend on the vpn).
