Very happy Slax user (recovery from USB stick only, not as a daily driver). Works great on older laptops, even from USB booting is pretty quick and the (quite basic, but very functional) UI is pretty snappy. It has both 64 and 32 bit distri

It doesn't have to be as clear-cut as that though. You could always have a free tier, then a paid promoted tier, etc.

I think there are possible solutions here for a library, off the top of my head, taking a picture of your face when dropping off the codes, so that when you come back and ask for your codes, the librarian can ID you against the picture they

Technically, all of them can, if you put the "persisted" storage in a directory on a ramfs or tmpfs mount :) This might seem like a bit of a facetious comment, but it does have genuine use cases, e.g. unit tests, or for data that

I think here it means you don't need to buy a license or sign up to any terms and conditions, which would be in line with the MIT license in the github repository.

No idea, sorry. The phone has NFC but whether your bank has an app you can get without the Google Play Store is dependent on your bank, but often not the case. If these are deal-breakers to you then it's going to hard to recommend all-

This might work for things you have to remember off the top of your head, where you have e.g. 10 seconds to write answer, but it doesn't really work when you have longer questions requiring some kind of working which take more than a m

What is the largest hard disk one can buy nowadays? I found a WD Gold 20TB. You'd need 19 of them plugged into your computer just to hold the uncompressed archive from Common Crawl.

You don't have to imagine, it is commonplace around the world. Lots of tax revenue from countries all around the world is distributed to different areas of the country/world (obvious e.g. foreign aid). If the amount of tax isn&#x2

In Sweden and Denmark as well, it would be calculated as 20 days assuming a standard Monday to Friday office hours job. I'm also curious to know where the parent poster got the 28-30 days calculation from.

docker-compose is the way to go for keeping the dev versions synced with the production version. And for the backup script scheduled mysqldump and copy to storage should see you through quite far, so not really any more effort than copying

Have you considered an OLAP database like Clickhouse or QuestDB? An OLAP database would be a much better fit for audit tables given the read and append-only writing requirements, would compress better, and you might be able to fit it direct

I'm not sure I see it as game changing for audit logs; it's relatively easy to use privileges in Postgresql to make a table effectively insert-only[1], mysql/mariadb and others almost certainly has something similar. 1: http
