Your voting experience really needs an upgrade.

We have a holiday to go vote - well, 3 hours off - and our setup is so simple that we have polling stations everywhere. When we get there it's usually a 5-minute process. The whole thing is over by that night.

This whole "standing in line for hours" thing is just weird, y'all.

Um actually, in the US you can get fired for THC in your system

Obviously he wasn't from one of those backward regions like Edmonton or America.

..and in proper places, you don't want to deny someone's human rights, as the penalties have no upper limit.

Ansible is foss, free of cost and requires almost no additional overhead or hardware.

Um, why are you stressing foss ? I only ask because the 2002 kit was

  • cron
  • make
  • awk
  • at
  • rpm

'It's foss' isn't really a selling point, here, since ansible is still outmatched by everything else available -- including that gaggle of tools from 22 years ago.

... which was foss.

The only thing Ansible has going for it is momentum; and cult-people who haven't seen Chef or even that aforementioned tool-bag. Heaven forbid someone sees MgmtConfig converging 1000 machines in under a second immediately after a file is changed on one (ergo no playbook run taking 10 minutes). They'd be crying every day afterward that they were still stuck on worse-than-2002-technology Ansible. At 2002, Ansible pre-dates GOOGLE MAPS for technology; and facebook; and the iPhone. Ansible is the MapQuest Printout of technology.

The new tech is so reactive, it can revert a file back to conformity immediately after it's saved; before it can be reopened!

AND IT'S STILL OPEN SOURCE. Of course. Because that's a no-brainer.

There is no way that beard-colour is natural. It's weird-looking.

You mean as if the bot was a helper and not the admin itself?

Madness!

But velcro, dude. As a gen-x I now hate everything velcro. Teva sandals, cargo shorts, seams on jackets; it's just got to go.

Hottest take on this site: Apple.

That's because there's such a huge and biased fan base, and they drown out the actual objective opinions.

Any device/produce can fail

"Um, sir? This banana has failed."

They don’t mention the conspiracy theory: this vessel was owned by the founder of Autonomy software, which died in the accident.

Ha! The which/who failure makes it sound like the vessel died in the accident.

The same day, the ex vice president of Autonomy software, was killed in a car accident.

And this one sounds like 'the same day' is someone's name, and that person was killed in a car accident. What a weird name -- and I once worked for a guy named Ransom Love, and this one still stands out. Do they shorten the name to 'Sam'?

... or, as we call it, a split vote.

 

Pay-wall link: https://globalnews.ca/news/9938774/air-canada-vomit-seat-passenger-apology/

Air Canada has apologized to customers who were allegedly escorted off a plane for refusing to sit in a chair covered with vomit for the duration of their over four-hour flight.

The airline issued a statement after a viral Facebook post claimed two as-yet unidentified female flyers were told there was nothing to be done about the visible vomit on their soiled seats.

Oh! AirCanada!

We've been using Yum (and now its "differenter name is betterer" dnf) for what, 20 years?

error: rpmdb: BDB0113 Thread/process 13664/139968089683776 failed: BDB1507 Thread died in Berkeley DB library

You think we'll ever get someone with a clue to fix this? Will RedHat going all IBM about source code help?

 

Okay, so what's with Gitlab and ServiceNow getting so fat on whitespace that they no longer fit in half a 1920x1200 screen properly?

What's the standard width that actual professional webdevs are building toward? Is there a standard, or like app dependendencies are they back to pre-y2k "moar moar nom nom" methodologies?

 

Look. It happens a few times a week, where reps in 3 time-zones will be fucked by an interruption to azure services like o341 or sharepoint (we don't do VMs in azure; not secure enough).

I'm used to shadenfreuding Reddit over that, or at least finding it's not just our company firewall and VPN taking the Proverbial.

Is there a sub I can join to get the topical junk like that? I'm too indolent - like a fox! - to go to twitter (or ideally mastodon) for a more suitable location; but will I find it there if I do? Can it be here too?

 

I didn't find this yet, but please downvote to hell itself and drop a link to the proper prior post in comments if you find it.

In here, eventually, are some comments from the Fedora project leader about how RHEL trying to kill open access to source and packaging source code is potentially going to affect Fedora, RedHat's ginger adopted stepchild which it usually overlooks.

I must say there's a LOT to wait through and one of them has a mic with a bad level at times, and I didn't sit all the way through. Tell me if I've been scammed, but I thought this may have value and I'm hoping to hear confirmation of that too.

Enjoy? Or flame me. Happy Friday.
