Install flatpaks

Dude. Find a security guy who knows about validation and supply chain risks. Tell that person those two phrases. Learning should commence if they’re any good.

Wow.

They were thinking mgmtconfig.

So English has been devolved by vapid influencers anew.

Cats are part of the ritual here. Honestly I can’t imagine how the muggles enjoy any of their chores.

I noticed the immediate right-turn to sexism and racism and thought it seemed really out of place. It’s like the person in a group proselysltizing CrossFit and the rest of us just want the line to move so we can get to our flight.

1. find something Lennart built. Eg. systemd
2. remove that
3. go to 1

A LOT of plugins in many projects are a huge concern. I say this as someone who ran security for an OS for a while. It’s just people making bad decisions for everyone and then hand-waving the risks when questioned.

• rpm: signed payload and manifest with signatures in bill of materials that integrates and coordinates with system db and allows enterprise content review and validation at every step and/or easy back-out.
• flatpack/app image - none of these.

Anyone interested in build, security, deployment, should have issue with that. But look at its corp champions and discover their motive.

It was subtle. It was well-done. Roasted, even.

“you’re holding it wrong”?

This is one of those things where you either live it and love it, or never understand.

Qi charging changes your very life.

This cannot be explained in words.

The first world war also started when a single person was murdered.

If you’re to the level of warming plates in your pancake game, those must be some kickass flapjacks.

Flappy flabby fatbastard fluffy flapjacks, ferda.

The airport near Stockholm. Private little rooms. Everyone has a loo and a sink and room to change. It’s so humane.

Not raising taxes unless strictly necessary, lowering them if it is permissible according to the above.

The tax rate is never the issue. If the gov can push through a responsible plan for spending our consolidated resources so it costs less than we’d need to pay separately, then it’s a win. Fuckwit conservatives talk a about reducing taxes and conveniently omit how they’ll reduce costs to match. Hint: Here, it’s always food inspectors and anti-corruption.

The word ‘literally’.

It’s been abused and needs to now just die.

Additionally, anyone uttering that word must be slapped by everyone who hears it.

Sleeping through the worst parts of the heat is not a bad idea.

In 2021 when the heat got oppressive here, we couldn’t sleep through any of it. it was 45c in one daytime, and with 90% humidity it was an actual killer. There was no sleep at night, no sleep at day, it was all just counting the hours until it was over – or we had an excuse to go to work where - for me - it was a cool basement attached to a cooler datacenter. We joked we should move desks into there, but our little group may have left a door open to the DC and let the chiller do an extra 10% space on those days!

“Nosferatu spiders” in Germany

Apparently they’re called Fox Spiders in other places. It looks like a ‘wolf’ spider from here, but that’s apparently a common mis-identification. The two species love to hang out in wood piles and in corners and chase prey.

It looked like a few of the formerly-Tenegeria spiders we have here - Domesticus, Agrestis and Gigantica - which now all have new groupings I don’t care to learn. Thankfully none of those jump. But, then again, the jumpers are the only cool ones (eg Salticus scenicus and other spider-bros).

This.

Having ONE room that can get cool enough is a game-changer for sleep and daytime respite. Ideally it’s a North window.
