emails

Not a noun, my dude.

I use seamonkey, but only for convenience. It grabs all my email and caches it locally for me.

Spell-check is so weird.

firmwares

And I’m out. If you can’t spell a word, I don’t need to hear you talk about it.

1. halt trade
2. recall ambassadors
3. request clarification

This goes back to America’s eventual involvement in WW2, which occured only after the UK let America raid all its patents and tech. Very mercenary.

Is this a homeplug announcement from 2015?

Absolutely this.

33 years in Linux, 30+ professionally, Unix+Linux security background in a past life at a fucking distro.

When I first install a new distro version, I do something very simple; maybe I configure a simple web page, for instance.

Usually the web server refuses to start, or something equally “so dumb it should have been seen in early testing and doesn’t even get to the challenge I set before it” stupid. If the distro can’t test something so basic, then I know they’re not prepared to consider selinux implications while maintaining or debugging the distro. I don’t need to blaze a trail the distro can’t be arsed to.

Then I mod away the config in my template and hope the distro can pull out their proverbial head in 5 years.

The easiest path needs to be the safest path

Was the site built by coke-addled used-car salesmen on their break?

Too many sentence fragments. Stopped reading when I realized it wasn’t writing.

They tried; it must’ve been 4 times. But unless it’s a sure thing, they’ll give up.

I worry they don’t know how to compete on a level ground, slowly building trust and business on success after success.

Linux’s license not count as about Linux?

Philosophically, no.

In set theory, also no.

Legally, still no.

Does it contain similar letters? Like Laughter and Slaughter do, yes.

Slopping.

I’m totally okay with them receiving money from bad companies. It’s like vandals ordered to pick up highway trash - yo momma - as punishment.

Receiving Merge Requests from sloppers, though? That’s not cool.

There’s a sysctl tweak that neuters this sploit. Do it now pending the patch.

Only if you enable the mode for rootless containers. If you run more safe, this thing is apparently impotent.

No containers here, no cry.

The Compress attribute has been in even ext3 since day 1. I’ve never tried it, though.

First they say we don’t need it, then they say we’re too old for it, and finally they say it’s beneficial.

Is this a game to you?

obviously a layoff tactic.

It sure smells like it, right? But, and I’m repeating myself and others, the important part here is that, if it is a layoff tactic, it’s a horrible one: as per the Dead Sea Effect, the people who leave as a result of declining workplace environment are those most able to leave, i.e the most employable staff, with each round of departures. Thus, the people whom Meta would want to stay around are the people most likely to find, get, and depart for jobs elsewhere. And while Meta are bastards, the mechanics of working in a massive org like that one score really well for skills companies want.

I wish them luck in this terrible job market, and hope they can find a supportive environment again. We can always do with more smart people working for the greater good instead of against it.

If I had this in my college years - impossible since we had no Internet available yet at all - I’d’ve been laughing. Stay home, stay online, and hack all the waking day? BSc in no time.

A dear friend lived near the uni in her home town, and so lived with her mom, rent-free, and just went all-out on coursework. In 3 years she got and paid to receive a BA. She earned enough for a BSc too, but didn’t pay the fee for convocation and so doesn’t have it.

Three years. Wow, would that have been awesome.

The Budapest memorandum be damned, right ?
