The only reason it's using systemd at all is because on Fedora /etc/resolv.conf is a soft link to /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf. As it states in the file ... # This file is managed by man:systemd-re

My ideal would a combo package with a 100-mile battery range for my weekly commute plus a 200-mile hydrogen fuel cell to back it up. Most of my usual monthly travel would be on battery and the recharge time for something that small wouldn&#

Ditto on the request to retain USB-C charging. The ability to charge phones + Chromebooks + a MacBook in my house with interchangeable power blocks and cables is a huge benefit. MagSafe just isn't worth it.

That happened to me as well. I resorted to using an elastic band to keep the case shut.

I have a pair of the first generation Pixel Buds in my draw. One of my most frustrating product experiences of recent years. They didn't last that long in use (~5 hrs IIRC) so would frequently have to go back into the case to recharge

The first nameserver listed in resolv.conf is kind of a primary as it will always be consulted first, unless you add "options rotate". The next nameserver only come into play if the first doesn't respond (default 5 seconds, a

Ditto. I've the Pixel 3 XL, my first pixel phone and I love it. Fast, good battery, gorgeous display and monthly updates with none of the Samsung bloatware forcibly installed. I used to be an iPhone user years ago (owned 4 of them) and

That sucks. I would rather have it encrypted and be deducted from my usage quota than this. The extra protection would be worth it. WhatsApp's data is no longer safe from government snooping. They just have to subpoena Google for a cop

Everything you have said there is completely intangible. Show me one real world example of where my use of Google products has actually hurt me.

I wonder, am I the only one who's actually happy to be a paid up Google customer? I own a Chromebook and an Android phone and have migrated absolutely everything onto google drive, play and photos. It's a wonderfully relaxing com

This tech might work well dealing with Emergency Service calls, to filter out inappropriate calls and only pass on genuine emergencies to the human operator related the required service.

You're much better off using AuthorizedKeysCommand as vertex-four suggested, and ditch passwords completely. It just needs to return the SSH public key of the login user. You can get that from any backend you like. If you have an LDAP

Otherwise called the stampeding herd effect. The way to address this is to introduce a random sleep on the remote servers before the command executes to spread the load.

Depends how you write your playbooks/roles. You can write a role that will both add and remove depending on the value of a variable in your inventory. Then tweak the inventory and re-run.

Taking a snapshot of a system before making a change and rolling back to that snapshot would be faster. In any case, a strong policy of only pushing changes to production that have been properly tested in staging will protect you the most.
