it's not only about logic; his ego is now involved in it which virtually guarantees it will never be revisited.

ZOMG IT'S PAUL
I mean yeah, that would check out. Seems like a lot of these facilities are sitting on a bit of a real estate goldmine in which installation of solar panels and storage batteries could offset a lot of that consumption (in addition to being nicely synergistic with emergency power needs when grid power is interrupted).

many of the things it replaced were not "perfectly functional" in many respects.

counterpoint: those policies are not sustainable and can be easily defeated by someone simply setting up an endpoint somewhere not on any lists. if you have a security worry about devices being compromised by dint of their location, you need to control the location in some physical rather than logical way. if you have an HR worry about residency, I suspect those rules are going to slowly go the way of the dodo anyway.

what did they do to Termux and sshelper?

just want to thank you for everything you've done for the iOS user community these last 15 years. I left the platform when Apple's success in fighting its own users became too much of a pain point, but before that your work helped enable developers to do some utterly fantastic stuff.
it's sort of unclear to me why you think moving to electric vehicles and renewable power will reflect a "lack of ambition" in CO2 reduction.
"parking" is relative. we all have bike racks around somewhere; they work just fine.
Re:Initial M1 support merged into Linux SoC tree on Friday April 09, 2021 @03:06AM (#26747511)
I'm trying to think of one and literally can't. everything works these days. even Bluetooth audio isn't a problem anymore.
so RISC-V has been around for decades, right? why does it seem like it's blowing up now?
Re:How We Ported Linux to the M1 on Thursday January 21, 2021 @05:49PM (#25865658)
is there any actual hope for the GPU? is it based on any architecture for which there already exist Linux drivers?

"Racism" against white people in the US is completely devoid of systemic material consequence. Understanding definitions isn't about "mobs" or even ideology, it's about identifying what happens in incidents of racial bias and why those things happen.

O365 live collaborative document editing has been an absolute broken nightmare for us. We abandoned it in favor of Google Docs and everything has gotten a LOT easier.

Our general sense is that whatever MS is using for autoscaling the Sharepoint instances that run the service doesn't work. During busy work days Word loses its connection to the service constantly.

Cultural respect should not be contingent on monetary incentives.
I can't see how this is used. Can we get a "here's how to set up the file system" guide somewhere? I see the bit about the config file. Then what?

I'd primarily like to use this to back up a couple of Proxmox hosts.

If they had OOBM of some kind I would ditch all my hardware at home and replace it with them.

No, not really, since his personal beliefs involve advocating for others to suffer.

He suffers nothing by permitting LGBT people to live as they wish.

Snapshots. Make them, screw up, revert.
Python's environment management stuff makes me dizzy every time I try to get back into it.
Re:Why Is It Hard to Make Friends Over 30? (2012) on Sunday May 06, 2018 @08:23PM (#17009518)
Living in Washington, DC with a lot of other people who are over the age of 30 and still single, it's not as hard as I anticipated it would be, actually. The key is to have reasons to bring people together. I'm in a karaoke club, and a programming meetup, and several other things, and my social life is pretty healthy as a result.

With parenthood in the mix, you have to get really aggressive about scheduling, but it's still not impossible.

There are no intelligentsia for those people, because that's not a sustainable or healthy way to live long-term.
Like, sure, but it's beside the point when one considers that you have to live somewhere.

It's possible, but not well-advised. Heat deaths in areas with poor AC penetration are, without fail, higher than in those with AC deployed.
Re:Tinc VPN: Secure Private Network Between Hosts on Thursday February 08, 2018 @07:43AM (#16331726)
SoftEther is an impressive product, but I can't tell if it's ever received a security audit.

Also, I'm a weirdo and run a fair number of services at home with AD authentication. SoftEther has AD support native in the Windows server, which is great, but as far as I can tell there's no way to add two-factor auth.
