Everybody’s hoping GRRM is already on the task.

The real religion behind GoT.

all you have to do is hire one obsessed nerd and run decisions by him

If it’s Henry Cavill, you’ve got your actor AND obsessed nerd in the same package!

Stein was SO close to sweeping every state. SO close!

At the idea of customer choice and feedback, no less; like those things are somehow BAD.

I completely trust Systemd to accurately report on itself, the same as I trust American cops to police themselves.

Is this “git gud”, victim blaming, or a mix of both? Ignoring the comma splice.

You’d think if there was a janky bit of gear in there

1. Windows would tell you about it
2. Linux would suck the same.

Neither appear to be the case.

Solaris 11 will be supported for a total of 25 years. They seem to like doing that, anyway.

Just a page with the name of the project when I checked just now. Nothing else.

Look. Is part of the plan to build and distro an OTA flash for my ~9 echo flex models deployed out on the world? They have everything they need for interaction, as well as networking and Bluetooth beaconing.

Right? You can wear the badge, OR do what’s right. You can’t do both.

What’s the end goal? Have 99% of the American work force under the DHS?

And then what?

Historically

1. Get the brownshirts/sturmabteilung

2. Kristallnacht and pogrom

This is the history that ICE rhymes with .

There’s like 2-3 watchable ‘reality’ TV series. Survivor has been watchable when I would try; the amazing race one as well. But they’re not narcissistic dreck where casuals are trying to be underpaid actors playing the worst people imaginable. They’re just game shows.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say The Price is Right and Wheel of Fortune are very affordable reality programmes too.

The rest of them are shite.

I get that. Coleen Haskell, ‘Boston’ Rob, and the Marines guy, were stand-out characters. Many of them, though, just fade into the noise like any other gameshow contestant does.

they did manage to win the Blu-ray vs hd-dvd format wars

They didn’t win them: they bought them. Blu-ray won via payola more than popularity or technical superiority. HDDVD has way better error correction and thus longevity, but you can see why corpos wouldn’t want that at the peak of the planned obsolescence / e-waste years.

I just checked out frigate, and I see it crutches on docker. Anything docker-free?

Only in the creative news.

Racists breathe, too, but they haven’t “co-opted” breathing.

When racist bigots use language to spread cruel ideas, it’s not the language’s fault. It’s still just the fucking bigot at fault. Let’s not give them the power to take away regular words.

How sysV-like.

And I mean that as a compliment.

does anyone else feel like this article is missing punctuation or something

Definitely. But, given most of the glitches are comma splice, joinwords, or just plain punctuation missing, is this the best venue to point that out? The only thing worse than the punctuation here is the apologists.

a […] software

A software WHAT?

Its fantastic when you’re a few rungs up and already reaching back to help others.

Linux since 1.2.13, here.

Yes, self-hosters can be really focused on their own complex setups, and forget that they’ve become overcomplicated through years and iterations of rebuilds.

A new bucket to stash all those crabs, though, isn’t it.

Start the noobs a little lower on the complexity scale, so it doesn’t look like a mandelbrot just to get basic stuff. App installs on a basic host is totally okay, to start.

Teach and reinforce proper patching and maintenance. Teach man-pages at every turn: promote good ones and take a second look at the bad man-pages because, really, maybe they need updates. Reinforce the “look up before asking;then ask well” routine for discussions and seeking help. Be super-welcoming for good questions, even if the pre-work is “I checked the man page and it didn’t really make sense for that option”, and gently nudge toward a cursory search when even that’s missing.

We lost a LOT of mentorship after the dotcom bust, and we’ve not been great in the Lost Boy generations that followed. We need to make it easier to get help, and we need to encourage that walk-before-fly mentality.

And if apps can’t properly package their stuff so that the secure and safe usage is the easy usage, then we steer noobs around it. I’m looking at you, docker-fixated app ‘releases’ without adequate delivery and via channels that aren’t validated normally as part of the process. We need to be so much better at that.
