Nobody denies that this is a tremendous achievement, but there are rules to world records which have to apply to everyone, if they apply at all. I'm sure even people at IAAF who decided not to accept this as an official record are happ

While I agree that the Guix blog post was disgraceful, the page linked to here looks very weird and I can barely take it seriously. For one, it has too many quotes of random, low-quality twitter shitposts, repeats its talking points over an

No. After the decades of sustained bad behavior, they do not get a pass so easily. Not for several more decades at least. Also, please quit it with the $ instead of S trope, it's really immature.

Why further strenghten Microsoft's monopoly on developers? With several great alternatives available today, I say steer clear and as far away from Github as possible.

Well, there is Diaspora, which has had groups (they call them "aspects") for many years now. I like it more than Mastodon, which is about as useless as Twitter.

Perhaps it is because whoever came up with the specification for "browser cookies" never intended them to not expire, and thus you are trying to subvert the feature to do something it wasn't meant to. The Jurassic Park quote

Debian-based distros can use package pinning to this effect, but since it is an opt-in feature for advanced users, it is not a full solution. I'm mentioning it here just for sake of completeness.

As soon as my place of employment starts handing out oxygen masks, I'll do the same. Wait, no, I'd need a full body suit, because I do not want to get my clothes reeking of that crap. :)

Do you often do these things in the middle of running a playbook? I would hope not. :) It's not meant to have the connections persist forever, just long enough for repeated short ssh connections to have almost no overhead, and therefor

You shouldn't be creating ssh connections all the time, but instead using persistent connection to each server that ansible opens once at the beginning, and reuses for all subsequent tasks. See ControlPersist/ControlPath OpenSSH c

Indeed they know very well what they're doing. One could even say that they're openly spitting in the face of regulators' inability to do something about it, see for example a trailer for a new NBA game, where you mostly see

Are you claiming that most people do understand computer security? My experience is that even many computer-savvy people (already a small fraction of overall population) are completely baffled by its intricacies.

Speaking as someone who at work (big corp) has to do semantic loop-de-loops and contortions to sugarcoat even the mildest criticism of sometimes utterly stupid ideas, just to avoid ruffling feathers and be politically correct, I find this r

Just doing a websearch on "kashmir internet shutdown" yields a plethora of "elaboration". Gotta be a bit active when looking for information, instead of just waiting for it to fall in your lap.

No, the subthread was discussing paying later for services already provided (quoting: "mailing a check in return for services provided"). Not for any future services, which, obviously and as you correctly point out, are not necess

That's a deeply flawed line of thinking. Those components were obtained at a price of 0 moneys, which at the time of "obtaining" was agreed upon by both sides. In this situation, yes, asking for money later is very rude, in m

The only move towards "community" from big companies I've seen so far is that nowadays you can make a ruckus on twitter to make them care.
