I had to load this in Edge to actually see the joke. My FireFox config (Ublock/NoScript/?) prevents the custom styles from showing.

My experiences with NixOS almost exactly mirror yours. I like the concept to a degree but find the implementation flawed. If the project was more cohesive and unified (i.e. OpenBSD); then all the edge cases wouldn't combine to

Nope I checked. I was wrong a couple of times but it was rare.

When I was a kid I was really good at mazes. I would just stare at the maze, kinda zone out for a minute unfocusing on the entire thing, and eventually one path would look brighter to me somehow. I could never solve a maze by tracing my f

Back in my BBS days I would use ALT+255 to create a <null> blank character. Windows couldn't display it, but the FTP programs I used could. That made it fun/easy to "hide" an FTP server dump location on a windows s

I love that table! He did a great job. Intel _tried_ to update the standard with BTX in 2004. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BTX_(form_factor) I worked on 1 or 2 boxes designed like that, and they were just annoying. I

Not to act like an arm-chair doctor but have you ever considered that you may be on the ASD spectrum? That function of being able to mentally 'filter out' specific voices within a crowd is (semi?) common signal of autism. More ac

Ansible is directly your friend here. Puppet/Chef, and others help in other ways too. Unless your problem/complaint is deeper then that. Bored sysadmin: All I do is install X, Y, & Z over and over again. Surely there's

Disclaimer: I'm a guy. This is why I switched to riding recumbent bikes. Towards the 'end' of my previous riding lifestyle, I could only be in the saddle for 10 minutes before excruciating pain and numbness (I don't kno

To be completely fair it might not be exclusively ADHD. Research is discovering that Autism and ADHD are both on the "same" spectrum, and ASD covers both. Meaning they are not necessarily separate things. My ability to do bullshi

Yes and No. Many years ago I built an elaborate dashboard/status page that was a front-end for a dozen or so CLI processes that did the heavy lifting for our video->VR->CDN->website->SEO link farm. I used very simple "

I own(ed) my own business. It gets asked about at every job interview. The simple answer: I prefer a regular paycheck. I first started introducing Linux (as file/print servers) back in the mid-90's. The rate of support calls wou

A yagi antenna is VERY directional and at these frequencies line-of-sight only. You are aiming into the air. I'd say it would be practically impossible to accidentally interfere with cell-phone communication. This is a realistic counte

Beginner Nix question. Regarding .dotfiles It seems that there is a push or desire to have everything declared via nix and/or flakes. What I rarely see incorporated is 'git clone' or 'stow' for dotfile management.

It's worth mentioning that in Canada, you do not require a prescription to get a CGM. However only the Abbot Freestyle Libre series is available here. It cost ~$100 and last 2 weeks. I've found it to be mostly accurate. Placing i

I approve of measures like this provided they actually follow through and support mass transit initiatives. We've had ~100 years of bad ideas that we need to undo. (specifically related to this issue) This feels similar to the decision

With their specific post, no I don't think so. They are advocating "general good ideas" vs subtly promoting the product. I run my own DNS, I would have said all the same things they did.
