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.

Saute the (halved) broccoli in butter or oil. If all you've had are the bitter mush from boiling, you may discover a huge improvement.

Cauliflower is incorrigible, but put some melty cheese on that and it's ghetto fabulous.

The question is always "how do you know" in security.

But it's not just AURs. DEBs have a long-standing gap in their package validation options ("how do you know that file is deployed as intended") and they're at risk.

Skydog! I have no idea what they're really called, but they're adorable.

I know exactly 0 people who are still watching over-the-air TV.

What does "false consensus" mean?

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

As the rest of us learned from Genghis Khan, you do not kill the messenger.

For every situation, Trump will make the worst decision possible.

My salary is well-known. It's an equality thing to fix on a standard rate scheme. The rate is known, the stepping is known, and the steps are known. Anyone can figure it out.

And, if not, it's in a yearly report that needs to be released and contains all of that. I could find out how much my entire chain of command makes, at a glance, but I don't care.

Okay; from the daytime job, at least. The side gig is a little variable.

My entire obituary will start with the phrase

Area man ....

Of that. I'm sure.

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.

  1. Blink the lights, Doug.
  2. Reciprocate+1
  3. That+1 is permanent until the next regime.
  4. Agree to remove the 'basic tariff' if he does.
  5. That +1 really stays.
  6. Next time Trump rattles his plastic sabre, it's another reciprocation +1 more permanent.

Or

Cut the power by 35%.

 

I found this ironic.

I don't need research into the issue, as I'm sure I did at least half of whatever got me banned. I just wanted to point out the irony, is all.

 

Pay-wall link: https://globalnews.ca/news/9938774/air-canada-vomit-seat-passenger-apology/

Air Canada has apologized to customers who were allegedly escorted off a plane for refusing to sit in a chair covered with vomit for the duration of their over four-hour flight.

The airline issued a statement after a viral Facebook post claimed two as-yet unidentified female flyers were told there was nothing to be done about the visible vomit on their soiled seats.

Oh! AirCanada!

We've been using Yum (and now its "differenter name is betterer" dnf) for what, 20 years?

You think we'll ever get someone with a clue to fix this? Will RedHat going all IBM about source code help?

 

Okay, so what's with Gitlab and ServiceNow getting so fat on whitespace that they no longer fit in half a 1920x1200 screen properly?

What's the standard width that actual professional webdevs are building toward? Is there a standard, or like app dependendencies are they back to pre-y2k "moar moar nom nom" methodologies?

 

Look. It happens a few times a week, where reps in 3 time-zones will be fucked by an interruption to azure services like o341 or sharepoint (we don't do VMs in azure; not secure enough).

I'm used to shadenfreuding Reddit over that, or at least finding it's not just our company firewall and VPN taking the Proverbial.

Is there a sub I can join to get the topical junk like that? I'm too indolent - like a fox! - to go to twitter (or ideally mastodon) for a more suitable location; but will I find it there if I do? Can it be here too?

 

I didn't find this yet, but please downvote to hell itself and drop a link to the proper prior post in comments if you find it.

In here, eventually, are some comments from the Fedora project leader about how RHEL trying to kill open access to source and packaging source code is potentially going to affect Fedora, RedHat's ginger adopted stepchild which it usually overlooks.

I must say there's a LOT to wait through and one of them has a mic with a bad level at times, and I didn't sit all the way through. Tell me if I've been scammed, but I thought this may have value and I'm hoping to hear confirmation of that too.

Enjoy? Or flame me. Happy Friday.
