Maybe it is still a fair question for machines that should only be reachable by other machines you fully own (like database servers and so on)? Just thinking out loud.

If the choices are between implementing tax on imputed rent and killing all economists by boiling them all alive, I'll gladly start gathering firewood. I'm just joking. I am all for higher taxes on everyone. I have one condition t

Is this local transit? It is England so practically everything feels like local transit, right? It is better than what we have, sure but it isn’t as impressive as long distance routes. > The schedule offers trains every 3 to 5 minutes on

Nothing makes sense when it comes to the police. Did you know that they can legally, knowingly, lie to you? Have you not seen any "police encounter" videos? Here is one example: police will lie to you about what is legal or illeg

My gut reaction: - states and local governments may not hire any police officers unless they fully fund the pension obligations ahead of time. If we can force the USPS to do this, I'd say we can force state and local governments to do

I wish I was as articulate as you. This is exactly what I mean when I see the not responding messages in Mozilla Thunderbird on Fedora/Gnome. I would probably be ok if it happened very rarely but it happens all the time. I don't k

I am not an expert on anything but I still think there has to be a better way to allocate wireless spectrum to telecoms than an auction. We don't want nor do we need the telecom money. At the end this money comes from us anyway. Why ca

I think this is where we use meta tags. All pages with one click links should have no index follow or no index no follow. Your seo consultant (if you have one) should have advised you on this. I am not saying this excuses the privacy violat

You can still use dry wall later and if you use decent noise dampening and insulation between two layers of drywall, it should work. It will be expensive for sure though. I think huge building with electrical wiring, plumbing (including was

I'd say we need more construction, more frequently based on comments I've read here, resealing or resurfacing a street more frequently is cheaper than waiting for streets to give up the ghost? This also means we need alternate rou

Just curious, what kind of supercomputer do you have? I am in an older Thinkpad on Fedora Gnome and I get the kill or keep waiting message when going through my inbox. Even k9 mail on my Poco X3 pro doesn't freeze as much.

I am amazed to see people are interested in running Bitcoin nodes. As far as I know, none of the people I have talked to about Bitcoin or shit coins have any interest in running a full node. This is the thing that convinced me that cryptocu
