Nobody’s stopping you from doing whatever you want. You want to pay for an office building and sit it it that’s fine. The problem comes when you try to stop what others want.

How could I possibly have more control over a browser? I have multiple applications that resolve DNS, I want to configure their resolver in a single location. Maybe I want to run systemd-resolved, maybe I want to run dnsmasq, maybe I want t

Why would to want my applications to use what my operating system does? I control both, but typically I have more control over the OS, and importantly it’s a single location to configure.

That’s sort of stuff sits on an isolated vlan. My proxy (with a decent trusted very) talks to them, either via http or self signed https. Proxy also handles the authentication (via oidc or x509) and logging.

It’s the principal. The Skylab fine was $400. The idea is that an organisation, no matter how large, doesn’t get to ignore the law. Alas nasa didn’t even pay the fine, probably some form of legal reason

I get free international roaming nowadays, but 5 years ago I was in China and accidentally plugged my phone in to my laptop to charge. Laptop started syncing something that had been blocked all week (Dropbox maybe), and the SMS flooded in.

Why do you have notifications turned on? I have notifications on a couple of critics channels where time critical incidents are logged, they fire every month or two and that’s where I want to stop what I’m doing and look at those. With team

We have slack and teams. Teams is awful, it’s silo based, separate discussions in tiny areas. Slack means silo walls break down, channels are formed and disintegrate by people with stuff to contribute in an agile way, rather than a team str

Minitel didn’t go global. Instead a Brit working at a French-Swiss institution built something which did.

I don’t get why people dislike slack. I find it brilliant. Maybe your company requires certain behaviour, but that’s not a problem with the tool, nor will any other tool make things better.

Amsterdam ciry has a population density of 5,300/sqkm and 1 million. Miami is 4,800/sqkm and 6 million across the urban area. Seems that Miami could have an urban transit system similar to Amsterdam.

More days per person means less burden. Think of Cairo. If you visit for one day you are going to see the pyramids. 20 tourist-days = 20 visits to the pyramids. You likely do t have dinner out, as you’re off to the next photo op, you likely
