There was no mention of what distribution of linux, just "modern" whatever that means. If the person installs the lastest testversion of some distribution that tries to jam everything in there but does not have actual grapics driv

I would be totally happy with a big place like that as end station. Here you are lucky if it's two houses next to eachothers. Probably noone home anyway. I have fond memories of people falling asleep and then back in school next day ta

My problem is that I help a lot of people set up their computers because they want to get rid of ads and tracking. They don't know how to fix this. Or more likely don't even realise there is a problem and will just close it down a

If they do that, they will paint a gigantic target on their back. Everyone will rename themselves to Super Mario as exit strategy for their startup.

The law makes it a nesessity. If they don't do all they can to protect their trademark, they loose it. It's not like copyright. And ofcourse the lawyers have to make themselves needed somehow.

I know something else that is over-represented in killings. Soldiers. And soldiers are mostly male. So male is the natural killing machine, right? But male humans are mostly selected to be soldiers by design. In some countries the only poss

(not GP) Most providers let you run a catch-all adress on your own domain. You usually set it up with just a check-box "catch-all" and where to send all mail, or you write the username as "*" in an alias.

Sometimes you can sign up with the + but when you try to log in either on the homepage or an app, the login is invalid because of that + sign. Different validations. Stopped using that way after getting locked out of accounts 6 months later

That is just cookies. What GP was suggesting was a history trail, not a session id.

The main reason for the no-go is that you get hired by HR, not another developer. Many times the company has outsourced the hiring process to another company and that one has even less of a clue about programming. So they just read the keyw

This is getting so ingrained in todays society that it even spills over on non-tech. We have this provatisation craze going since a while and as soon as something don't work we expect the market to sort it by switching provider. For ex

I see it like this. If the seller can have salespeople waiting on a call, there can be better deals somewhere else. If the seller can have people cold-calling other companies, there most certainly is a better deal around that they don'

Ok, but it was very forgotten in my circles when I suggested we use a ramdisk. Ours was at /dev/shm/ I think. Noone had heard of ramdisks and sounded a bit skeptical but the server is still running and no problems with sluggi

I have been bitten many times by this usage of free stuff that suddenly starts to cost money so it took a while before I dared to use cloudflare. Have been using it for a few years now without any surprise bills so still happy. Hope I didn&

This seems to be very forgotten tech. First time I used that was to load NetHack to ram instead of the slow diskette on my Atari. Now I still use it as webcache for work to not bother the database with so many requests. When I set up the se

Ever tried a support call helping someone using a website that has A/B testing on? It's a very frustrating experience where you start to think the user on the other side must have mistyped the url. A lot of time wasted on such cal

A/B tests for user interface is very annoying when you are on the phone trying to guide someone how to use a website. "Click the green button on the left" - "What do you mean? There is nothing green on the screen."

Someone not familiar with the front windshield of cars might think they go straight through. Don't think airplanes have any less strong windshields than cars. A deep-frozen bird hitting the windshield straight on might be a problem but

I plugged my old Atari into an outlet in the old basement in a different building. The HDD-cable started burning. Electric company plugged in some device to measure power over time. Turns out the power was slightly below normal but within t

Especially when type A people are working in an environment where the leadership with the guns is type B people. Then type A will proactively switch to type B reasoning to stay alive.

Whataboutism isn't really the answer here. When the population knows this is the way it works and bends themselves like a pretsel to make their government not kill them, it's not good. You can't compare that to a western coun

It is more like exploration, geocache without the cache. Orientering we call it here. Lycra optional :)

If you like biking, try Turf [1] It's a swedish game where you take zones with GPS irl. There aren't many german turfers yet but the ones around seems very social. Chat in game and on Discord, starting to organize meetups too. The

I really like that one, so sad that the framerate tanks after one or two flights. Tried all the settings on the debug menu but only reload helps as you stated in the documentation. Happens both in firefox, firefox developer without plugins
