passtime

pastime. Spell-check was right.

There are a few ways of doing that without harvesting PII . This is just naked disdain for people not hooking up for oneChive overages.

convicted monopoly

Well that’s a blast from the past. That was neat-o how Mr Boies nailed a conviction and the remedy was … An apology? Was it even that much?

Glad to see Microsoft is successfully building on that crushing no-remedy defeat by doing the same and more. #winning

usually the water doesn’t cool down fast enough

…in the time chosen. If the planet can get down to 13c overnight, I bet Skippy’s relatively smaller data centre can get down sooner with a proper loop.

I know it’s hard finding a good spot of flat land now that the choicest spots have all been fracked for methane and are no longer stable - thanks, ‘green’ energy shysters! - but what else were ya gonna do with all that space under the solar panels?

By-product? Free showers for the homeless with that waste heat. Yay?

As someone who worked OS security after working build/release on Unix and Linux, don’t use flatpaks. The modicum of comfort you gain in brainless installs you lose far more in validation of package contents.

And brainless installs on Linux (yum install) is about the same via synaptic/etc. You’re not missing much.

While it would be lovely if watches could support Qi charging, they are just too small to make it work effectively

Ha ha ha.

I can charge my wife’s Samsung watch off Qi on my phone. We had to learn how AND do it while on vacation when the Samsung inductive rig for it was left at home.

Worked like fucking gangbusters.

This article is shit.

Something similar happened with the Nursing field during COVID, prior to the event, there was a steady if not overflow of medical professionals, but

What drew me to this collection of a full sentence and another fragment spliced in wasn’t the comma splice: it was the perfect example of beggaring the question.

I’m still not sure whether the bad writing was accidental or an attempt to divert from the false premise.

At no time has there been sufficient medical staff.

Is that why their flat pack repo was so slow and failed.

Flatpacks are toxic, so … that’s a win?

It’s an option. Every other option is better, but it’s a brochure entry; and an option.

Having discarded many other options, I’m looking at Cloud Stack for hosting VMs at home and the job2 site.

This will be like your proxmox, libvirt, openstack (which derived from it), oVirt(RHEV,OLVM,etc).

If you are in the market for a new alternative, please consider this less-known option.

It doesn’t plug directly into the wall

That’s a huge deal: it stays out of the way and it’s a complete unit.

If you can find a hass replacement for the Echo Flex, I will name my firstborn after you.

This might be a really great case for Rocky Linux though, as it also gets 10 years support.

That happens to be my plan. I just started rolling out a few but I will have to bulldoze some servers because CloudStack doesn’t work in it yet. That means it’s upgrade-disco for my 9s in 5 years.

Since 2002 I’ve been doing yum-cron for updates, but just at the side gig with up to 50 boxes. It used to be absolutely rock solid before systemd wrecked it, but it’s still pretty reliable.

Think of all the kids who grew up without a computer and now they have no idea how they work and can’t do basic tasks.

Hi there. Didn’t have a computer until the 12th grade.

In the 30 years I’ve been working with Linux professionally, some of it was at a distro, working to secure it, and also Unix. I’ve managed an ungodly number of computer hosts, and I took over and maintained a somewhat well-known security tool I’m not gonna name. Lately I do automation: mgmtConfig when I can, Ansible if they pay me so much I can forget just how amazingly bad it is.

I was getting paid for Linux work long before I got a cell phone.

Xargs, bc, paste, sed, awk.

a different software

When software is used as a noun, it’s a mass noun and not countable. This is like “a email”, which is as wrong as “y’all” in a wedding vow.

I’d just get banned from that too ;-)

Holy crap am I glad someone piped up.

You know how much I don’t care about Toyota when I’m talking about Hyundai? You know much I really don’t care about piefed’s features when this is not about piefed?

Thank you.

Control is never just outsourced; it’s also abdicated through that outsourcing.
