Erm, why not just configure auditd to detect it instead? Though not sure how widely available that facility is outside of Red Hat.

And even earlier in other EU countries I imagine, as I was in Luxembourg in 2001 and used pin to pay in supermnarkets with my UK card.

This, so much this. Having only transitioned into RHEL from Solaris in the latter 1/4 of my career, I still hark back to Solaris man pages and to this day, on Linux I will do - man foo /EXAMPLES And frequently find what I find, if

For me, as an adult child of a now deceased alcoholic mother, the headline on this article plays down the findings detailed further down. If you're drinking every night in front of your kids, to my mind that is affecting them, whether

Elections are still won on hope for change it seems. Not that anyone won but certainly more of the same with nothing much positive seems to have not won it for Tories.

It makes sense but it makes way more sense to do that before triggering Article 50, not after and 11 days before negotiations commence. Just reckless and stupid.

and, if you are going to bring in a person or persons to be that 'Devops specialist' and help your devops transformation, don't bother if you aren't going to empower them to facilitate real changes, or if you are going t

As far as I know this is similar to my partner's deal and the most expensive thing is a crown and only the fabrication of that is not included, the rest of the treatment for it is in the plan.

Must be as I'd certainly notice a few grand per year being spent on dentistry ; )

I'm not sure how true that is? Would like to see some statistics on how many people elect for private vs NHS. Myself I've never had private dental healthcare and have no complaints, especially since I am paying probably an average

There is still a divide in the UK - unlike general medical care, dental care is not 100% free at the point of use (Similar for optical care). Dentists can take a mix of private and (public) NHS patients or specialise purely in private or NH

Characters like Trump and Farage largely owe their success to 24 hour news channels and their insatiable appetite for soundbites and headlines - those guys are non-stop controversy generators and are, as such the ideal match for rolling new

Some years ago I picked up the habit from a predecessor of testing such things with dd instead, that way you can experiment with the effect of different block sizes, so like - dd of=/dev/zero of=/ddtest.out myfile bs=64k coun

What was good about the arcades back at that time was the real world social aspect of it, somewhere to hang out that didn't involve substance abuse ; )

The most amazing thing from that time for me was the first time I heard Defender, let alone saw it. The sound of those Williams games is as memorable as the visuals and gameplay.

Yes, and that is exactly the way Trumpet wants it, bait and switch.

Absolutely, C25K was the best thing I ever did - Run 2x5Ks a week at lunch and a 10K at the weekend. Worked up to 10Ks about 3 or 4 weeks after first 30 minute run. It makes it pretty easy and I lost around 13 lbs from this alone.

A couple of reasons spring to mind as to why Ansible is an improvement on the eminently workable approach you outline here. One is idemopotency - The fact that it is not easy to run the above script on a bunch of host just to 'fix up&#
