This list lacks the most obvious one: enable (and ideally enforce) SCRAM-xxxxx-PLUS as the authentication method of choice. The idea of the PLUS variant is both simple and effective: instead of verifying <user,password> with the help

The pulled locale is UK (Ukraine). https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-desktop-provision/commit... Oh my. I guess this needs some more attention. This might be a state actor open source supply chain issue.

Running Ubuntu 22.04.1 on a very recent device is not something I would recommend. And it is particularly bad timing. 23.10 was released yesterday, so a new kernel should roll into 22.04 soon. It would also fix most of the software complain

Well, they usually ship unlocked CPUs, where other vendors often power-throttle the CPU. I am not a "fan" of the fan noise, so I checked and the EC firmware was open source. It was possible to raise the fan tipping point to run th

This seems like what I would have expected. Germany has an opt-in policy for these programs: I would have to go to the Bundespolizei (federal police) at an Airport to declare that I am fine with regular data transfer of my police records. O

Well, I am a bit unsure if it does or does not translate well.... One of my favorites is extensive rights management. Especially on CMS. More ofte than not it is part of a buying decision, but used Stallman style soon after. The observation

Git and LKML predate GitHub, and the kernel was the reason git was born (Torvalds was unhappy with other devecentralized version control software). Anyway, everything wondered where "Pull Requests" come from? Literally an E-Mail s

The opportunity one is really the core. A friend went through a bootcamp. Father of 3. I think this is the most viable option to join the field for him. So the options are bootcamp or not. Not from the ground up or not. Bootcamps cater thst

I find the rust `?` construct nice for this: give me the success result or propagate the error. It is based on a result type though. The try/catch construct require too much code for the common propagate case. It would be nice if Java

None. Perhaps one of it triggers some deletes or privacy related changes. This has actually been the case in Germany (and perhaps even EU) for a while. Mostly because courts have ruled that cancelation must not be harder than signing up. In

The big question is IMHO why. Are people fleeing the Windows as Ad Space direction? Are they fed up with Mac OS oddities? Do they use their Steam deck more? Or are they just enjoying the Linux experience.... I know that after years of Linux

If you want something simple and so cheap you don't have to worry about it then I can recommend the PineTime (< $30). The OS is open source. The finish is good (though not high end materials but still water proofed), runs for multip

Not a clear cut, and one intended application of Starlink was . You need less detours and light in fiber is slower than light in vacuum. Fiber slows down Berlin <-> NYC by a lot. I usually use Wolfram Alpha for this and it's like

PII != the whole discussion. A common theme is to set the user ro "deleted user". As long as it is not associated with you it's fine. Also you request deletion that the party and their contractors hold. So a mailing list may

And the image shows that the scale is named differently. So very likely tied to the most common national air quality scale. So it's explicit in what it shows.

Depends on the level/speed of the line. ALLNET had a VDSL spf modem. No good diagnostics but easy to add to any model. OpenWRT supports a few lantiq systems with xDSL modems. I was running both, but in the end switched to bridge mode o

The problem people have with it is complexity or personal. You can run your linux kernel with init=/bin/bash and .... well, you've got a shell! A minimal init system can be a shell script that starts some services. Job done.

The thing that kills you is IOPs per query. At 30 TBs the hot data set is huge an there is a long tail of queries not loaded into memory. Plus they were saying 10k+ connections per server. So we are probably looking st 500k+ connections. Th

Well less bandwidth and storage is also good for users. Less bandwidth. Some users pay for bandwidth. Or have a monthly cap. So less bandwidth is a monetary advantage for users. It also may decrease time to play. Similar, but less ctitical,

It seems to put lore focus on the extracted dpkg. So you can browse and download the unpacked files. I prefer the search on the original sites, but this looks neat if you want the payload of a package.

I am partially gussing here, but... They weren't old enough by 2020/early 2021. Series A was 2012. It's usually 10 years after that you need to IPO. So the expected IPO would be 2022. Bad timing/luck. Similar for those o

Docker is still what's used and what you will see e.g. at work. Podman is what you would want to learn on top.
