You’re right, just add Sudo -s to /etc/profile

Really? I’ve been using ExpressVPN on my torrent box with an OpenVPN client for years. It’s still working today.

I know they’re not the best, but I’ve been too lazy to switch on that device.

I’m far from an expert and have never setup borg, but I see some possible problems with that config, though I don’t think I see anything that would cause it fail.

• In the environment section of borg, borgmatic, and borgweb, the “BORG_PASSPHRASE” variable is used inconsitently, it either needs to be uncommented in borg or commented out in borgmatic and borgweb.

• Networks: having a single “backup_net” network is less than ideal from a security standpoint. Nginx should probably be in it’s own network (an ipvlan or macvlan network) in addition to the backup_net. backup_net should be isolated to the host that are running borg, while any communication into borg should be routed through nginx on its ip.

I haven’t seen it in a while either, but also, if there is a kernel update, uname -s always returns the old kernel until a reboot.

TPU works fairly well depending on the application.

I wouldn’t rely on it for high temperature (above 150C) or high pressure/vacuum applications, but for most household applications it’ll hold up fine.

But if your hand is forced, it should always be 2x-10x the actual estimate, depending on the complexity of the task, and never less than 2 hours.

Isn’t the list of shells that are “not fully POSIX compliant” basically every shell in modern use aside from sh?

I’ve been using linux off and on for almost 20 years, though only did a full transition to linux for everything about two years ago. I use debian for the servers in my homelab and Fedora on all my other computers.

Something tells me this chart is based on an external assessment of competence/confidence not a self-assessment, because according to the chart I should be a guru, but in actuality I know nothing.

I wanted to propose that WH40K make a new Chaos God of Capitalism…and then I thought about for 5 seconds and realized they did. The Emperor. The Emperor is a god of capitalism. Which is an interesting (to me) perspective on the franchise. So, thanks for that random completely unrelated Lemmy comment.

If they’re considering optical media, typical BD-R, while viable, may not be be the best choice. BD-R M-Discs would probably be a better choice for backups. Especially if they’re planning on needing access to the data over a period of decades, which would be potentially useful for familiy photos/videos and critical documents.

They are more expensive, as is the drive needed for them, but not by enough to be out of reach or even unreasonable given the additional durability of the discs.

Please don’t stick a thumbdrive into my penis.

I’ll learn the theremin for this effort

There is no clear definition of what constitutes a moon other than it being a body that orbits another body that orbits the parent star.

There are some astronomers who say the dividing line between a moon-planet/dwarf planet/asteroid system and binary (or more) planet/dwarf planet/asteroid system is whether or not the barycenter of the orbits is within one of the bodies or not.

And fun fact: if that definition gained acceptance, it would mean that the Pluto-Charon system would go from a dwarf planet-moon system to a binary dwarf planet system. Charon could get a promotion.

Some large asteroids have moons too.

Assuming your math is correct (and I have no reason to doubt that it is) a mass of 10^16 kg would actually be a pretty small moon or moderately sized asteroid. That’s actually roughly the mass of Mars’ moon Phobos (which is the 75th largest planetary moon in the Solar System).

no no, the end user will somehow find the exact position in which the switch starts arcing and then they’ll work by the light of the fire in their walls.

I’ve tried submitting recategorization requests through the links provided by my workplace on the block pages. The requests have been denied.

If I’m remembering right, it’s a Symantec web filtering solution that we use and they’ve decided that my domain is in the “personal blog” category. Which is a blocked category. Jeff Geerling’s website actually falls under the same category, which also kind of sucks, because I like reading some of the stuff he puts out.

pretty much the only reason I still use Plex is because I like to be able to watch stuff during downtime at work and plex.tv isn’t blocked on the work network while my private domain is.

And no, using a hotspot off my phone on a personal computer isn’t an option, both because the security requirements of my job site prevent us from using personal devices in the main area where I work and because the building itself is a massive concrete structure that blocks most cell signals.

Is an assembler not a compiler for an assembly language?

Is saying “I wrote code in assembler” not functionally equivalent to saying “I wrote code in GCC?”

Note: this is a genuine question, not sarcasm.
