The issue is I don’t want to

Ah but then they can’t buy them, since they already spent their human rights on lavish royal lifestyles.

Bad for the kids…

“I laughed it off as nonsense,” he said. “But she didn’t. She told me to leave, informed our kids about the divorce, and the next thing I knew, I was getting a call from her lawyer.”

Also they’re using “Packerl” for package that’s probably Austria. Maybe Switzerland it’s not like I’m a specialist in mountain gibberish.

As a native speaker of mountain gibberish I can tell you that’s not ours. Either Austria or maybe Bavaria. Their gibberish seems similar to me sometimes.

I think it’s Austria. “Packerl”

Me to be honest. Where, if not in your capital, would you be able to enforce environmental protection of your streams?

Granted our biggest cities are smaller than those of most other countries, but in Zürich, Bern and Basel you see people bathing in the Limmat, Aare and Rhine respectively all the time.

The real one is a bit smaller

This might be nitpicking, but NBC should be more precise.

which similarly glorifies Hitler, the architect of the Holocaust

Adolf Hitler wanted and ordered the extermination of the Jews and other “undesirables”, no doubt about that or his culpability. But the role of “architect”, the person who designed the logistics for mass killing, is normally ascribed to other people. Adolf Eichmann, the guy the Mossad captured in Argentinia in 1960, is usually called the “Architect of the Holocaust”. Sometimes together with Reinhard Heydrich and Heinrich Himmler.

Does “tabling” mean putting a subject on the table or taking it off?

Depends on if you follow the British meaning or the US American one.

In corpo speak. I’ve seen it used as a synonym for “energy.”

Wow that’s bad. You have my pity

The size difference is not significant. This is about the maintenance burden. When you need to change some of the code where CPU architecture specific things happen you always have to consider what to do with the code path or the compiler flags that concern 486 CPUs.

Here is the announcement by the maintainer Ingo Molnar where he lists some of the things he can now remove and stop worrying about: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/

Yeah I’d second that. It’s good for discovering valid settings as you get start, and then once you want to do more complicated stuff, the XML option view becomes useful, and then if you want to try on CLI after all you can start using virsh to administer the same VMs.

At least that’s how I progressed through the stages as I started messing with a Windows VM for a game that doesn’t lend itself to hosting on Linux natively.

They are so often stateful and fall over when some scanner comes by, or if a light DNS DoS attack happens, compromising the entire access link, when the scanned systems or the DNS server weren’t even bothered by the amount of requests.

They introduce weird unexpected restrictions, like preferring to blackhole our customers traffic rather than accepting some asymmetric routing. And then we get blamed for their setup, which they don’t even know.

They ossify protocol development in general, requiring things like header encryption in QUIC to force them to ignore things that aren’t their business anyway.

They are apparently also expensive as hell, multiple customers have declined upgrades because they don’t have fast enough firewalls and not enough budget to buy faster ones.

Those are the ones that come to mind right now. There are also occasional bugs that make our or our customers lives difficult, but I can’t recall a clear one at the moment.

giving out my IP to trusted friends

Just in case you ever get back into it: We regularly see scanners scanning the internet with a million packets per second at work these days. That means it takes them 4000 seconds to scan the entire IPv4 Internet to check who responds on port 3784. So handing out the IP selectively won’t be enough.

I also learned that the hard way privately with my Minecraft server. It was found in a scan and listed on Shodan at some point, and I hadn’t put up a whitelist. Some shitty kids came and destroyed whatever they could find before finally putting up signs to mock me lol

Firewalls in general.

And as a follow up, Teams was never good because it was never native to anything (instead it was Electron and is now some sort of React/Edge homebrew).

How long until it degenerates to a bunch of Copilots exchanging gibberish, and people forgetting there was ever a real meeting? :D

Skype for Business LTSC 2024 is still supported until 2029. You just need to already be running an On-Prem Skype for Business Server and migrate it to the new Subscription Edition come October. I bet it will get really costly for the holdouts.

These developments worry me. The legislative handed over some quasi-legilative power to the executive under the theory that in cases of national security incidents you need to react quickly. It’s been getting abused for a while, the “national security” interest has been stretched a lot to cover whatever the executive would like to do without the legislative.

This has been happening for years, not just during Trump. But now it’s getting even worse under the second Trump cabinet. I think this could lead to a toppling of the checks and balances if the legislative doesn’t step in soon, and reclaim their devolved powers.

It’s quite cruel of that compiler not being happy until you’re exhausted.
