Nope. Your request or your question, but unless you’re on the used car lot, never your “ask”.

Short list. Do I need a plug-in that isn’t mentioned because UX is dead?

Aside from

• iso27002 violations
• FHS violation

It looks good!

Fucking shingles? Nope.

Is there a docker-free build you can either install and mod to re-enable voice, or use to mod the docker blobs in accordance ?

Discord never replaced mumble. The two are in different circles.

Tip: if you’re pluralizing and using an apostrophe, you’re doing it wrong.

PClinuxOS sees your favourite distro omitted and understands.

It’s exacerbated by “oh this library is updated for no reason than its version is newer so we need to force that bleeding edge on any ecosystem we’re in” thinking.

We’ve absolutely lost the careful, measured long-term release and maintenance cadence that we built the Internet on.

Compare Systemd.

History shows Americans will.

They trusted Microsoft after they were successfully sued by a DoJ (when it used to investigate corruption and monopolies) for being dicks, but David boies rejected breaking up the company in 2001.

If it was important and true, they would’ve spell-checked.

The cancer spreads.

You don’t know how Cisco is triangulating your laptop’s position from APs in range, do ya? It’s 2015 tech, and it’s insane.

Being able to see where everyone’s cell phone is in the middle of an open-air concert … and whether and where it has been on the muni network since … has been valuable for cops looking to question a potential witness.

But yeah, if you’re reading this in the company loo, your IT people probably know, if they cared. They don’t care.

Hell, knowing when the boss’s phone lights up on the site wifi was great for ambushing him with a purc req first-thing. …or so I hear.

TL;DR: they don’t need to know which IP range you’re on, as their layer-1 has already ratted you out.

Ha ha ha ha, proper architecture is so exhausting.

Not just toddlers! My best trip to contiguous America involved the zoo and the aquarium in Atlanta, as well as the Fernbank.

In about a decade, when America is safe for outsiders again, I’m totally going back … after Hanauma Bay, that is.

On an average day, I spend 0 minutes managing the homelab.

0 is the goal. Well done !

Edit: Ha! Some masochist down-voted that.

How it started : 0

Max : 0

Now : 0

Iso27002 and provenance validation goes brrrrr

You’re not alone.

The industry itself has become pointlessly layered like some origami hell. As a former OS security guy I can say it’s not in a good state with all the supply-chain risks.

At the same time, many ‘help’ articles are karma-farming ‘splogs’ of low quality and/or just slop that they’re not really useful. When something’s missing, it feels to our imposter syndrome like it’s a skills issue.

Simplify your life. Ditch and avoid anything with containers or bizarre architectures that feels too intricate. Decide what you need and run those on really reliable options. Auto patching is your friend (but choose a distro and package format where it’s atomic and rolls back easily).

You don’t need to come home only to work. This is supposed to be FUN for some of us. Don’t chase the Joneses, but just do what you want.

Once you’ve simplified, get in the habit of going outside. You’ll feel a lot better about it.

Still crutching on containers?

There must be a reason for them turning to something else than

You may be new to modern software development. Switching proverbial horses is massively common, usually for no benefit (or to lock people in). It’s everywhere, and especially in the corps who want that lock-in (ohai apple).

For a 2 week overlap, people on gtalk, Facebook and a regular jabber server could chat with one another as easy as addressing an email message. Then both Facebook and Google switched to their own homebrew replacement and made up some compelling-sounding, feature-laden but implausible reason. Gtalk has never sucked less than those two weeks with a working discreet client app and interoperability, though. It was actually adequate.
