Sometimes on HN i see these articles about "return to office" and its a little confusing for me because I dont work in an office job, im a mechanic in a diesel repair shop that likes python and technology. Can anyone break down wh

As a diesel engine mechanic, you never get a free lunch. Forklifts and loaders eat tires because torque, so I always imagined electric cars might too. How long do the motors last? They can't be sound after 100k. Or are they?

The price to adopt a real cat is ~100usd in most states. Why not just get a cat? This projects like 300usd.

if you're still using vmware for virtualization i feel like you get what you deserve at this point. KVM has been around for over a decade, powers most clouds, and has easy to use and powerful implementations. VMWare by comparison is h

True, its assumed you'd also be running selinux with contexed users as well. So far the only players that care to publish contexts for the OS are doing so as part of DoD postures for security relevant objects in a stig. Disabling kexe

Disabling kexec would prevent unauthorized operation in the event of a zero-day root compromise. It would require a reboot to re-enable, which should generate a security event in a SIEM or central monitoring for unauthorized change in oper
