It always was about control. If you're not needed in person ... To move something or specifically to physically interact with your surroundings you're not needed onsite ever. Exceptions for national security obviously. Sorry if th

It's never about collaboration, it's always about control. Please don't confuse the two.

It depends where you are. In the UK you can add interest to outstanding debt.

Absolutely. FU Pay me. A polite email to the Finance director, or CEO ought to do the trick, and wait a week or two, warning them about the consequences of non-payment and interest on the debt. Then after the time limit has passed pop down

Indeed there's no compelling reason to use C++ or Rust. It comes down to user preferences. Quite frankly if you can't track the lifetime of your own allocated memory, are you even a competent software developer?

Incredibuild is a pretty good product. Though there's nothing else out there that I know of that's similar. Does anyone know? > Incredibuild (at the very least) redirects file io back to the original machine and so the executab

In fact, according to sys/src/cmd/auth/login.c it looks like once you've logged it, you can shut the door using the capability device so then it's game over, no more hostowner for you

Plan9port has factotum. Plan9 has a completely different security model. The Hostowner (usually Glenda) is essentially "root" and you're at the mercy of the filesystem regarding file privileges etc. AFAIK there is no way to &

Some installations have additional cryptography. Which alone implies that the Tetra crypto security theatre is well known in that industry, and isn't a surprise to vendors in the slightest.

You're looking at the wrong unifi product then. UDM Pro SE (for example) you can choose between any two of (2x)1G, (1x)2.5 and (2x)10G SFP+ uplinks. Obviously 2x 10G uplinks don't make a whole lot of sense ;) Enabling the IDS drop

PK(A)Zip was available on the Amiga in 1990 https://groups.google.com/g/comp.sys.amiga/c/_XvqYUvBwvc/m/c... Unix support came later, in the form of infozip in August 1992
