A "Meta VR" could be created and used just for work stuff, connected to a work email address and disconnected from personal Facebook or Instagram accounts.

As someone with an Instagram account but not a Facebook account, this does move the needle for me slightly, but my enthusiasm for opening a Meta VR account is only slightly higher than my zero interest in opening a Facebook account.

Instead, a Meta account is required. I see what you did there.

Agreed. When I'm picking "the right tool for the job", something I factor in what are the tools and languages my team knows. If my team knows JavaScript, I'm going to weigh that when I'm choosing the choice of codin

Some of my servers were running Ubuntu with systemd+podman to manage services, and none of them had a problem.

Containers help tame complexity, but the container itself could be run without the docker runtime, using systemd-nspawn, or run as a regular systemd service using podman. It seems less complex to manage a bunch of systemd services than one

Sorry, not my experience. My experience has been that by the time I notice some serious vulnerability is in the news, my servers have already patched themselves. I have never "hated life" or had a "hard to find and undo bug&q

I believe it's staggered across hours by default and it seems that Canonical might have been able to at least stop pushing out the bad update even before they had a fix

AWS at least provides serial console access so have the option to access it during the boot cycle. Alternatively, you umount the drive, attach it to another machine, chroot into it, fix grub or whatever, reverse the process and boot again.

This was even worse than the headline made it sound. If you had `unattended-upgrades` running and had the "automatic reboot" option enabled, then all your Ubuntu 20.04 servers running Docker would reboot themselves and not come ba

You are right. I was thinking of the decline in dairy consumption in the US, which has been decreasing. Per-capita cow's milk consumption has been decreasing for 70 years here: https://ers.usda.gov/webdocs/publicat

For a long time, all vegan cheese was bad. Some was horrible. But recently there some that made from primarily from nuts and beans that are quite good. For a mozzarella, I recommend Miyoko's https://miyokos.com/collect

The market wants both. Someone just transitioning from may be explicitly looking for a plant-based version of what they've been eating. Someone raised vegetarian or who hasn't eaten meat in a long time may repulsed by the thought

The US meat and dairy industry have asked for similar bans as well. The problem is, consumers aren't actually confused. Different names will used if need be and consumers will continue the trend of reducing their meat consumption for e

Ah. I thought the joke was that Doom has ported to so many obscure platforms that it was novel to play it on an actual PC.

Still a thing. There's an excellent iOS app for Pinboard made a third party developer, called Pins. It was just updated in 2022. https://get-pins.app/posts/pins-v2022.1/ I don't see a placeholder page at

There was a time when conventional wisdom was that we all needed to be using XML data exchange, all the time. Now the simpler format JSON dominates. I hope Kubernetes ends up being the next XML.

Ghost is a platform for creating content. Ghost partners with Stripe to handle the payments. For a customer who runs a small town Indiana newspaper, who may be a somewhat typical customer, it's not that complicated: They won't ha

Ghost provides similar features for bloggers but does not mark up subscription payments from subscribers. The cut of payments is about 3%.

I use Speedcrunch. Launches instantly, so not much time savings to use a CLI tool instead.
