From space.com's update:

Looks like they fixed it for now.

Re:SpaceTop, an innovative laptop without a screen on Thursday May 18, 2023 @04:41PM (#35993767)
I have this. As a kid, it made catching a ball pretty difficult as my dominant eye would switch right as the ball gets to me.

I like to think that's the reason, anyway.

On your home page you list Microsoft as being one of your clients. I'm pretty impressed that you managed to sell them what appears to be (mostly) their own data.
No, AGPLv3 allows for adding an additional term regarding trademark. Signal-desktop is using the default APGLv3 without such a term.
Nope, it's only legal in US and New Zealand.
I avoid this by running configtest before the reload - it checks it can get the upstream ips.

It's a shame it's named kitty though. https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/issues/9
It's pretty rare, but yes, some people vape alcohol.

What? The end user does notice if you haven't added the CA to the end user's PC.

You mean virtualbox extension pack, right? As far as I'm aware, guest additions don't require a paid license.
I currently use kubeadm for our small business cluster. 1 master and 2 nodes. We haven't put a ton into it but it seems to be running pretty well so far. Have done an upgrade from 1.7 to 1.9 without much/any downtime. Is there much more of a learning curve with Rancher?
Re:Python startup time: milliseconds matter on Thursday May 03, 2018 @01:17PM (#16987815)
That's fair. My experience with it so far has literally just been aliasing hg to chg. It performed all the magic in the background for me.
Re:Python startup time: milliseconds matter on Wednesday May 02, 2018 @02:19PM (#16979741)
I'm just curious why more people don't make use of chg to avoid the mercurial startup time. It seemed to solve it for me - are there drawbacks?

It's not an expiry. It's a cert name mismatch. CN is *.ssl.hwcdn.net
Re:MySQL 8.0 is now generally available on Thursday April 19, 2018 @03:36PM (#16879319)
We switched to MariaDB on freebsd 2 or 3 years ago. We ran into a couple performance-destroying bugs and while the devs acknowledged the issues, they made it clear they wouldn't be fixed any time soon. MySQL has been solid for us though.

Just a personal experience.

I think he's saying that KeepassXC is a fork of KeepassX, which is unmaintained.
The difference seems to be that it reacts automonously to your glucose meter.
