I think you can use format!() to format the byte array as a hex string. The result of a hash is never a string, so it makes sense that you'd need another step to print it as one.

You can use iptables to limit metadata access to certain users but that takes effort so no-one does it. I guess a machine-local service that takes ownership of the metadata service and implements additional restrictions (such as limiting ac

It is expected that you can't review everything you use, but you can still control the amount of trust you put in random blobs downloaded from the internet. If you're using dozens of docker images, perhaps you're trusting too

Sway can pretty much replace awesome nowadays, so I'd encourage giving it a shot. You can even script around the way it does multi-monitor workspaces to make them work similarly to awesome (just bind your switching shortcuts to a scrip

I think I might have to try v for scripting. I've been wanting a non-dynamic language for that purpose, and v having few dependencies and fast compile times might actually make it usable for that purpose.

It does that. You can hack the script to only install partial sets, but you're encouraged to install all the sets. I've seen at least one mention on the mailing list about merging the sets because the recommendation is to always i

I switched over from awesome to sway just a few days ago. With a bit of scripting and a Python tool that implements the screensaver inhibition dbus protocol, I have awesome-style per-monitor workspaces and swayidle won't kick in to loc

My own understanding of QM at this point is that it's sort of wrong to think of anything being exactly anywhere, ever. The way I intuit it, QM systems seem to be described by their wavefunctions sort of the same way a bunch of sine wav

Languages are "invented" too, but we can still use them to approximately describe reality. Things are true in math if we can follow the rules to derive the truth from axioms. That knowledge may then describe or predict something w

I suspect that if someone just replaced crond with a thing that generates systemd timers, few people would notice.

I think it's fine not to remember things like this; it's what man and tools like this are for. Not having memorized cron syntax likely just means you don't work with it frequently enough for your brain to deem it worth the ef

The releases may seem more major than they did in the past because PostgreSQL dropped one part of its version number with version 10. 11 is to 12 roughly as 9.5 is to 9.6, not as 9.0 is to 10.0

I am not vegetarian, but I still sometimes choose the vegetarian option because it tastes good . I'm not very surprised by more people finding tasty vegetarian options when more are made available.

Sometimes it helps to automate small things anyway, as practice . I've noticed that as I become more practiced with automation, even the small things take less time (and are less prone to error) than doing things manually. It's a

I suppose requiring a transition might be the problem in the first place. XFS and LVM are things that are in use now . Though they might not be the most performant or the most convenient at this time, it makes for a strong strategy if you

I think Red Hat ultimately decided btrfs is not going to go anywhere, and ZFS is unfortunately a non-starter for licensing reasons, so from their perspective it really doesn't matter how good it is. I suppose the benefit of using XFS a

Seems like there are no RHEL 8 packages yet, but I think this release fixes the build issues, so they'll probably happen soon.

To me, "unconscious" encompasses all the processes in your brain that you are not aware of, which is most of them. You can become aware of the result of those processes as they emerge as a phenomenon of consciousness (such as beco

For such cases, we should have the necessary legal tools to deal with them if the material is truly dangerous enough to be consequential. It is not the job of a corporation to decide, though I suppose they are not under any obligation to pr

To be fair, that is no less a problem with proprietary software. With open source, you at least have the option of paying someone with fewer scruples to pick up the work. My personal perspective is that in most cases the amount of benefit &

I hear that lots but it always leaves me wondering, what is the thing that actually gets you to do it? If the solution were that easy, there wouldn't be a problem.

I think that my primary issue with ORMs is that they often allow you to code as if the database doesn't exist, instead of explicitly structuring code to handle network and database failures at the points where you deal with external da

I think it has more to do with responsibility. Humans are capable of understanding the harm caused by our choices and that brings responsibility.

I think it would make more sense to tie the behaviour to the domain's whois record. If that changes significantly, chances are the domain has changed owners.

As far as I understand it, the primary reason is that gravity is a much weaker force than any of the others, so detecting gravitational effects is difficult unless the scale of the event is colossal. These instruments are extremely sensit

I think "cannot" is a bit too strong a claim. The brain literally invents faces when it interprets the signals from our eyes. Are you saying that it can't make up signals that don't exist? I don't see any reason to

The space outside the solar system is mostly empty, but also really big. Maybe these things are more common than we think. Rare events also happen all the time; something being extremely improbable doesn't mean it will never happen.

"In my opinion" is not a magic phrase that you can use to say whatever you want. Opinions are subjective evaluations of things for which there is no justifiable objective answer, such as personal preferences and judgements. Saying

It's a good reminder anyway. There are lots of people involved with tech who genuinely don't seem to understand that things fail, even in "the cloud". As for pet servers in the cloud, not having them is the ideal, but it

Is that 0.1% for non-snapshotted data? I'm under the impression that if you snapshot your data, EBS can recover some failures from the S3-backed snapshot transparently, increasing durability. I obviously don't know the technical d
