They randomly started turning up in my music recommendations (I mostly listen to metal). I was so confused and so happy about it…

That makes me wonder. Can you escape it with a non-us keyboard?

Switch to Linux but you have major paradigm you need to pick. Do you want your computer to be bleeding edge but it be a hobby? Or do you want slightly older and rock solid? Or do you have an enterprise support contract? You only pick Ubuntu/RHEL if you have the last one.

Can we take a moment to ask ourselves - how the hell did piping to shell become ok? We have all kinds of method’s for deploying stuff - from the age old tarball to the new shinny flat pack. But somehow we also became ok with

Curl foo | sh

Oftentimes as root.

Nah. The porn account follows porn like a normal person.

Someone actually followed world news?

Not just to make someone do a double take at your instance?

As a DINK household where both are tech workers - you have hit the nail on the head. We both can get visas to jist about anywhere in the western world with little to no difficulty, so for us it comes down to quality of life and salary. Sadly European salaries are so far depressed from our “normal” ( I make no illusion, we are well paid) take-home salary, that considering relocating across the globe is not currently a worthwhile headache.

Have you seen the windshield wiper being used yet? It looks like something out of a crappy ‘art’ film.

He wrote himself into a corner. Somehow he needs to wrap up a spiralling plot in one book…

It’s never gonna happen.

I beg to differ. Wood phone cases hide the bump by increasing the total thickness of the phone and making the back nice and flat.

But that’s just it. To the megalomaniacal, psychotic, fascist person id assume the dream of having you own personal household slaves, or factory slaves that you can ln explort and abuse you heartless content would be the creme de la creme of goals.

You know what I’m always surprised is missing everytime I see this list? Repealing the 14th amendment. They are so wrong on all of it but somehow they don’t go for that one.

It’s software put on every machine so that the company can quickly isolate it if/when something bad happens (or it falls out of security compliance). To do this is requires a constant Internet connection, insanely high privileges on the machine and frequent updates to be appraised of risks.

That risk update went off the rails and into the next state.

But it was not filmed.

NATO is a defence alliance, the world bank was made to rebuild Europe, the IMF was designed to keep currencies of members stable, and the EU was made to keep France and Germany (and later Italy) from killing each other again in 20 years (believe it or not it’s hard to go to war with your trading partner). Taken together they are the core institutions responsible for the relative safety of the entire western hemisphere in the wake of WW2.

If you don’t know about it, I recommend you take a gander at The rat utopia from the 60s.

I’m gonna guess it’s related to leap day. Someone rolled there own time date module and a weekly cron job.

Steal away. An old boss knew the person who maintains that page. If I remember correctly it’s entire reason for being is for that one question.

When in doubt I ask them what RAID 45 is.

Hell. Five nines is doable with eks, a single engineer and thinking through your changes before pushing them to prod. Ask me how I know…
