But why?

I a world where we can’t really be sure what’s in an upgrade, a super-clean start that burns any ephemeral data is about the best way to ensure a consistent start.

And consistency gives reliability, as much as we can get without validation (validation is “compare to what’s correct”, but consistency is “try to repeat whatever it was”).

Before t9, this could save time. After t9, it was needless and tired. In my circle, now, we call that kid-pidgin.

T9 was a mid-'90s thing. We are now closer to a 3c warming target than we are to pre-T9 texting.

Not a word, my dude.

1. any more money

You can’t straddle the lanes: you have to pick one.

Instantly distrust.

Every time we move house, my office gets smaller. As we have a rule where the work room needs to be self-contained, my space to stash old NICs or HDDs that I need to shred is contracting.

I saw this and was pleased, actually. The relative opacity of containers makes them a validation challenge and hides versioning from standard tooling used for large host populations and/or enterprise.

Even if they sparkle.

Docker-dependent? It looks fantastic, but I have no containers in my home-lab – and it’s based on my time managing OS security for an OS. I’m stuck living vicariously through the rest of you, so report back often.

Postiz is a social media scheduling tool supporting 19 social media channels:

Thank you for including this summary. It’s surprising how often that’s left out and it’s always valuable.

Sadly, it’s container-dependent, it seems. Also, it’s asking for supply-chain exploits and violating ISO27002 with pnpm, but for a PoC setup it looks excellent.

that’s a weak reason against violent protests. stronger ones are:

Non-violent ones are more effective, as per some study I saw a month or so back.

I get a reward every two weeks.

I tailor my work commitment based on it.

"I can’t hear you. What’s your extension again?

It’s seriously the second question I ask on a cold call. If they really are my bank / etc , then they’ll give me that super fast. If they try to give me a number, I assure them I have it in the phone book.

So many scams derail when you’re calling back an internal extension from the well-known switch-board number.

I can survive in 9c but 100c will kill me.

The US has extremely strict and aware water safety protocols. It would take just 1 whistleblower to [take down] this operation.

Had. HAD. The US has fired many/most of its inspectors.

75% of American drinking water requires treatment for one thing or another. One of those treatments is supplied by a single vendor out of a single plant in a flood-prone area. Apparently only recently did it receive federal staffing to improve security. This is only one of the many weak links in a supply chain with now absolutely zero oversight.

I wish I was kidding.

I call my mom “mum”.

Don’t shame people for calling their mothers “mommy” : it sounds so middle-school edgy.

Canada has been renting billboards all over the southern States in the hopes of educating people about this.

If there’s an article with words, can you pass it along? I’m not inclined to go on a Google website and listen to someone slowwwwly tell me why Google is bad.

Life’s too short to listen to people who talk slow.

Worst that can happen, he gets to be America’s healthcare minister.

What’s the frequency, Kenneth?

Yes, technically it’s still on the tiny screen of your phone with a really bad ux to make it go, sure. But you see how ‘went away’ is both true for web and effectively true for phone app? You do see that, right?
