So my advice to other IT folk is: take the time to check up on your state’s employment laws. If you are being exploited by your employer they may be totally in the wrong.
100%
I'm unfortunately in a state with even more vague and useless definition of who gets to be exempt than the federal definition.
It has definitely changed, I don't know when, but it's been like this for at least the last decade.
Though, in my experience (NB: I'm a software engineer, which is a notoriously lax field.) only what the piece of paper says has changed. Hell, most of my employee handbooks have claimed that "full time" is 50 hours a week. They get away with it because I'm classified as a "computer employee" (lol) and make more than $35k/year (super lol) which means my employment is exempted from minimum wage and overtime pay laws.
Nobody that I know actually works that consistently. Most people I know don't even do 40. I do 9-5 (or 8:30-4:30 usually), I take breaks when I need them and nobody has ever complained to me about the amount I'm working.
My only guess for why it's this way is that having that be the official working time means it's easier to fire anyone for no reason because they're not working their "contractually obligated" amount of time.
This is just a guess, but I'd imagine that happens because the websites use JavaScript to load the actual content of the page, but Lemmy is just parsing the HTML that is returned.
Also, I really doubt you'd have much luck convincing website authors to completely change their architecture just to get previews to work on Lemmy.
You're an Agnostic.
Agnosticism is the view or belief that the existence of God, the divine, or the supernatural is either unknowable in principle or unknown in fact.
Yep, I'm genuinely unsure if the conversations actually happened or not. I've gotten different answers to that from different people.
As someone who is currently hiring: Anything
Beyond that it depends on what you know and what kind of work you want to do.
At work we have a contractual design deliverable that was due yesterday, I still can't get anybody to tell me what I'm supposed to be designing/building. I've got the contract, but its so vague that it's more unhelpful than it is helpful and there's apparently been 9 months of conversations with the customer, none of which have included engineering, nor has anything from them been written down. So we're designing something just based on rumors.
So we're in crunch mode, but also we don't know what we're trying to accomplish... 😩
They may block IP addresses associated with consumer ISPs. Assuming that's the case, I would guess you're seeing that as an HSTS/TLS error because their network is trying to trick your browser into redirecting to/displaying an error page hosted by some part of their network.
Hey, this might be something I'm interested in, but I'm not sure because there aren't many details in your readme.
Some questions I'd suggest you answer in the readme:
[Edit: after looking through the code quickly, some of my questions probably don't male sense because this seems to be an alerting style monitoring tool, not a observability style monitoring tool. Answering my own questions for others that are curious:]
What does it monitor?
[Disk space and CPU use]
What is the interface? Web? It does compare itself to grafana, so maybe. TUI? Maybe that's what makes it more light weight?
[It doesn't have one, it sends telegram messages when alarm thresholds(?) are hit.]
Does it only work on Debian? If not, are there deps that are required that are installed as dependencies of the deb?
[Looks like it should work anywhere, the 'watchers' use the nix crate and read procfs, so I assume that means it should work anywhere without depending on anything besides the Linux kernel.]
Is there history or is it real time only?
[Realtime only, well I guess there's the telegram history.]
What does it look like? (Honestly, a screenshot could possibly answer most of these questions and a whole lot more.)
[It doesn't look like anything. There's no screenshot because there's nothing to screenshot.]

I've just said "I don't have one" when asked this for awhile. This never seems the phase the cashiers, I'm guessing they know what that really means. Half the time I still get whatever discount, though I've never tried to sign up for a membership saying that.
If it's an online form my phone number is just (local area code)555–5555. I've never had that not take, except for one case where it automatically enabled 2-factor auth and I had to create a new account.
