Breaking hard inappropriately is pretty dangerous as well. It's a good way to get hit.

It's only "nasty" because you are not used to it. Decimal representation didn't make much sense either but we have decades of normalizing it. Why is 255 the max in an octet? Why do we call them octets? I have a /23

I don't like to hate on products, but I fully agree. Discourse is absolutely unusable to me. I've tried several times, but I cannot get it to show me a view that is useful. IE, what's new. Instead I get some algorithm that is

I'm not sure you're implementation would actually be useful, and effectively you are doing the same thing as stalebot, just in a less obvious way. If you have 100 reports created in a month on a form, then it is very difficult to

Kerberos' use of symmetric keys is actually one of its strengths. In a post-quantum world, kerberos is significant more resistant to attack. Kerberos suffers in other areas, suck as only doing authentication but not authorization, and

Unstable in NixOS is nothing like the horrors that wait in Fedora Rawhide and Debian Sid. NixOS benefits from the fact that it has unit tests and that all packages are built in a consistent way across all packages. Archlinux is a bit more s

Not evidence that they are selling or even collecting this data, but discord _must_ look at the process and/or window table periodically to know when you are playing a video game so it can give you the one click stream button.

I only recently learned about Scunthorpe because the username I've been using for 15 years is now affected. Georgyo has orgy right in the name. More and more places are refusing to accept it when signing up.

Many people are seeing all these different vendor specific CPUs as a win. I'm a bit more skeptical, but perhaps that it unwarranted. But Apple, Google, and Amazon are now creating their own ARM CPUs for their own products. So most of F

Nix is actually a very simple tool, that in fact only does one thing and does it well. That one thing is building packages in sandboxes and adding them to the nix store. You can see that manual for Nix is actually fairly short: https:&#x2F
