I think saying just "explain" is a bit of a meme and meant to come across as almost humorously asking for an explanation.

I agree with you, American schools seem particularly bad at breeding these sorts of unhealthy dynamics, and we shouldn't accept it as normal. But even in a better environment, unstructured social interaction with peers still seems like

The beef isn't with systemd upstream which already has a very simple/boring workaround for this, it's with the debian package maintainer (some people here are wearing multiple hats). Really the whole raison d'etre of deb

Doing it inside a single binary gets rid of some of the nice observability features you get "for free" by breaking it up and could complicate things quite a bit (more code paths, flags for running it in "don't make a pla

Agreed, this is a common division of labor and simplifies things. It's not entirely clear in the postmortem but I speculate that the conflation of duties (i.e. the enactor also being responsible for janitor duty of stale plans) might h

I think this depends on the context. If the only way I interact with a service is a single app then I want that app to blend into my phone. I don't care if the Uber app on Android and iOS are the same, I only see one of them. If I have

As an example, parts of the C++ standard library (none of the core language I believe though) are covered by complexity requirements but implementations can still vary widely, e.g. std::sort needs to be linearithmic but someone could still

For those exact specs the Asus you linked seems like a great deal but it also looks like it has soldered ram which could limit the useful lifespan (the FW13 has two so-dimms and officially supports up to 96 GiB of ram but on forums people h

Isn't nginx one of the de facto choices (alongside HAProxy) for such a proxy and therefore it makes sense to include an ACME client? (This might be what you already had in mind but given the top level comment of the thread we are in I

I get what you are saying but surely obtaining a certificate is much closer to being considered a core part of a web server related to transport, especially in 2025 when browsers throw up "doesn’t support a secure connection with HTTPS

I mean, I’m a gay dad, so I get that what you are saying is a real problem, but I don’t think it’s a problem in this thread. If you had a goal of improving women’s ability to participate in the workforce you’d likely come up with a policy l

Hardware 2FA, with something like passkeys (or even passkeys with software tokens), _would_ prevent this as they are unique to the domain by construction so cannot be accidentally phished (unlike TOTP 2FA).

The original comment asked what is typical, I am commenting what is typical. What you describe would be extremely atypical and I can’t imagine any lawyer representing a surrogate would allow that to stand. It’s also nearly universal for IPs

Export is a good check against lock in. I just went through my password manager and I have 60 passkeys. It would be a huge pain if I have to switch to a different password manager and there isn't export/import.

Where is the line exactly though? If the password manager put up a big red notice when trying to export in plain text is that enough? If not, why not? I am sympathetic to the intent but the words of Patrick Henry come to mind too often in c
