  • To be honest, considering the role they’re applying for, I would reject their job application too even if it occurred inside a sandboxed environment.

    They should know exactly what rm -rf does. The fact they didn’t and they still arbitrary ran the command anyway… massive red flags. Could even say he failed to twart a social engineering attack.





  • Sounds like the DNS TTL (Time to Live) is set extremely low, preventing clients caching the record. Each time your browser makes a request (such as updating the graphs), it's submitting a new DNS query each time.

    According to this post, this is intentional behaviour for PiHole to support situations where you change a domain from the block to allowed. The same post also references the necessary file modifications, should you wish to extend the TTL regardless.

    The only downside you'll notice is a delay after whitlisting a domain, and it actually being unblocked. You'll need to wait for the TTL to expire. Setting it to something like 15 minutes would be a reasonable compromise.



  • Personally felt it was the right thing, and earned some respect back from me. They need to address Madison’s accusations separately (which are damning), but they certainly had positive movement with the points raised by the community / GN.

    Each of the department heads outlined their shortcomings and how they were being addressed. It felt genuine and sincere, and certainly not the generic bullshit you usually get from a corporate PR team on damage control. I hope they follow through enacting those plans, and it has a positive impact to both their quality and working environments.

    The only bit I hated was Linus’ section (and this is meant to be a criticism, not a personal attack).

    He opened up with a joke that Luke will have a lot to do curbing his (Linus) own behaviour, had a brief moment of sincerity, but went back to immediately defending himself and their actions. He didn’t fully acknowledge what his “emotional” response actually did, nor a personal response/apology to both GN/Billet Labs for it. There was no real acknowledgment he will address his own shortcomings. It honestly felt like someone who acknowledges he’s wrong (purely based on number of internal members telling him he’s in the wrong), but doesn’t agree nor accept it.
