I’m going to use that next time I need to bail out of a story I shouldn’t have started telling

sigh guess I need to go write another letter to my MP

Good thing there hasn’t been any remotely exploitable security bugs in any of the mail system components in the 6 years since Debian 7 went EoL

Yeah, I understand - fwiw, RNZ is the national (government backed) broadcaster, and has an explicit mandate to elevate the perspectives of iwi. Black Sheep specifically has done a few episodes about the musket wars and land confiscation that really don’t pull punches.

Another that might fit your brief: https://www.abc.net.au/listen/programs/stuff-the-british-stole - from the ABC, and for the most part does a really good job of setting up the story with some historical context, then letting the people actually effected tell the rest

If you are interested in different culture more than different language background, https://www.rnz.co.nz/programmes/black-sheep might be interesting

If a project is hosted on sourceforge then its a pretty good sign that the developer hasn’t progressed their craft since about 2005, which is a pretty big red flag for anything

At the rates I’m paying for 4G data, there are very few places in the world where it wouldn’t be cheaper for me to get on a plane and sneakernet that much data

Or, alternatively, coms management is important and formally declaring an incident is an important part of outage response - going from “hey Bob something isn’t looking right can you check when you get a sec” to “ok, shits broken, everyone put down what you are working on and help with this. Jim is in charge of coordinating the technical people so we don’t make things worse, and should feed updates to Mike who is going to handle comms to non-technical internal people and to externals” takes management input

What are you insinuating?

The formal definitions of Booleans were proposed by Boole.

Encourage people like this to take up mountain biking or skateboarding or something - find out how much of a pain in the ass it is trying to get around on crutches for 8 weeks or so, then use the tiniest scrap of empathy to imagine what it would be like to have that be your permanent experience

Because you have to know the rules and conventions to be able to break them effectively - if you don’t know that “theirself” is not grammatically correct, then your sentence reads as sincere rather than sarcastic

Don’t do this. This is going to trip alarms on any half decent IDS, and your net admins are busy enough without having to write up a report to go to the HR people deciding if they are going to fire you for breaking the computer use policy

As long as someone is willing and able to maintain it.

It’s open source. All the work is either done by volunteers or by corporate sponsors. If it’s worth it for you to keep a GPU from the 90s running on modern kernels and you can submit patches to keep up with API changes, then no reason to remove it. The problem isn’t that the hardware is old, it’s that people don’t have the time to do the maintenance

Trust fund kids: talk to your parents about cryogenic freezing before someone else does and convinces them to blow your inheritance on SciFi technobabble

Some Epyc SKUs are firmware locked to specific motherboard vendors - eg if you look on eBay, you’ll see plenty of listings for “Dell locked” CPUs. Afaik they aren’t locked to specific motherboards, just to a specific vendor, and there are plenty of unlocked SKUs as well

Fundamentally I guess there is a disconnect here around what “safe for work” means, and what the “not safe for work” function is for.

To me, unless you work in a primary school or something a journalistic article from a reputable newspaper that discusses (but does not explicitly depict) sex or sex work wouldn’t be considered inappropriate content for someone to be reading. It’s journalism, it’s intent is not to be titillating or lewd . If this was “my life as a sex worker” published on someone’s onlyfans then that’s probably different; different context and different intent.

Imo, the “NSFW” flag should be reserved for the “would it be ok if I scrolled past this on the bus with a child sitting next to me” - explicit or graphic violence or sex.

Mastodon does this better - beyond the NSFW flag, you can add arbitrary content warning flags, so if you think your content might offend or upset, you can highlight that fact so people can choose to skip it.

Just my $0.02. I’m from a European background so I guess attitudes and norms about sex might be a bit different compared to the US.

Sounds like a great idea - I suspect the biggest obstacle will be finding someone at the home who is confident enough in what to do with it to be willing to accept it.

I’ve run into similar issues with schools where they are hesitant to accept donations of things like that because they don’t want to be saddled with equipment they don’t know how to use and maintain. Maybe worth seeing if you can raise a bit of money for a second hand Xbox or something?

pg_dumpall on a schedule, then restic to backup the dumps. I’m running Zalando Postgres in kubernetes so scheduled tasks and intercontainer networking is a bit simpler, but should be able to run a sidecar container in your compose file

Fun fact, a significant proportion of the people doing these scams are victims of human trafficking who are being forced into it with threats of violence
