Interesting, probably not these days but it would be interesting to know.

I couldn't post there because Reddit allowed the advertiser to lock the thread with no comments. The Ad is very flashy, it hurt my eyes within seconds, I'm not epileptic, but I am worried for those who are.

For Google Domains customers being dumped onto Squarespace (like me):

https://domains.squarespace.com/google-domains

"Squarespace will honor all existing Google Domains customers’ renewal prices for at least 12 months after closing the acquisition, ensuring that domain hosting and management remains hassle-free."

It seems like there's no hurry to consider migrating yet.

If I do migrate:

  - might consider Namecheap
  - GoDaddy's renewal pricing I can't figure out
  - Porkbun sounds too hipster for my tastes though I do like pork
  - Cloudflare sounds altruistic but they want to get up all inside my domain's stuff with their proxying; I'm not sure if that could cause any issues with my Letsencrypt or other TXT records.

IPv6 needs to die. IPv4 using NAT ensures a moderately high level of privacy. IPv6 with privacy extensions does not.

First, there's nothing overbearing about the Ubuntu install.

Second, Fedora uses rpm management, rpm repositories sooner or later corrupt themselves, happened to me and others I know on Red Hat, on Fedora and on SuSE.

I'd use Debian but I've found Ubuntu's driver management to be far more stable and reliable, especially for WiFi.

I was in Sasebo, Japan in the early 1980's and remember buying cold coffee in a can from a vending machine similar to buying a can of Coke in the States.

I've never used Tailscale or Mullvad, I do use a VPS and Wireguard that I configured and run. I'm wondering if people working at Tailscale or Mullvad could snoop on the traffic passing through their servers?

side step copyright protections

So, are you saying people should only obey the laws they agree with when those people feel they're morally justified higher than those who voted for the laws in the first place, because it's your opinion to do so or did I not grok what you are saying you support?

The context is whether it extinguishes the legal protections of the owner by making the barrier to sue extraordinarily high. Conversely, if you write something that is copyright protected under the law, would you be OK with Microsoft effectively stealing that protected work and sharing it with the world without even attribution to you as the original author?

According to my Google foo, around 1000 people per day have been moving to Texas in the last three years alone. Put anywhere between a half million to three quarters of a million additional people on the power grid in a three year span and the grid is bound to have issues.

Also, really like how the majority of the comments sound like Reddit /r/politics's far left, adult man child, ignorant insights.

At 1 million times less power than existing sound transmission systems I'd say it's probably less audio going into the water than a baby whale fart.

As a former Submariner and Sonar Technician (trained in oceanography and underwater acoustics), it's interesting that such low power could be used. Long range underwater transmission of sound isn't a new thing. It's possible to passively track targets for up to 3000 nautical miles when the audio gets trapped in the deep sound channel.

The device discussed in the article has only achieved a distance of 300 meters using a slightly modernized version of sonar transducers and receivers that have been around for a very long time. I've seen MIT ocean projects meet the real world and go poof, but it's good to see people are out there trying to figure things out again, in the world after the pandemic.

Ok. I read it, thanks. I plan to continue using GPG.

This seems to skip over the main issue I've had with waterfall - management picking dates before detailed analysis.

Yup. In Agile though, the opposite happens, we the devs are encouraged or coerced to agree to work tickets whose scope is not baked enough to start serious coding which should happen during planning or grooming...except raising a question you often get the "what part is not clear" condescending tone which discourages discourse and fleshing out of the ticket's scope.

The biggest problem is that we don't have adequate tools for writing requirements.

All that's needed is a text field and someone who can write requirements.

Agreed, it's no better than using a fingerprint to secure a device.

GPG is not good now? When did that happen?

When there's a good, engaged PO then Scrum can work.

I've had excellent support from Linux across a variety of machines for 2 decades. Dell, Lenovo and HP.

I've seen several do exactly that on Reddit's IdiotsInCars over time.

Trade a corporate boss for both a corporate boss and a union thug, near mafia boss? No thank you.

Agreed, I've gone through the same when I was on windows and switched back to Linux about three years ago. Windows games that I run, leading and AAA titles in some cases, runs better on Steam Proton.

I tend to be conservative. I don't hold those views at all. I know for a fact that I'm not an outlier. Your opinion seems to be misinformed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarianism

I searched that page for "oppos" and could not find anywhere it suggested or stated that libertarians "actively oppose [liberty] of others". Your assertion seems to be very antithetical to the very views that libertarians hold dearly.

misalignment can creep in whenever colleagues aren't together full-time, in the same place, every day

Been working remote mostly for 15 years. I haven't experienced, caused or observed any misalignment. I have experienced a high degree of productivity. I feel this is what some who run companies were afraid of, that many people can work remotely and be happier and be as or more productive all at the same time.

I disagree with some of the attacks of the SV leader's personal lives in comments on this page but I also disagree with anyone who tries to assert people must be in the office to be productive.

The article is useless. What am I missing, I'll ask again.

I'm OK with how the disk tools show stats on Linux, thank you.

You want the mount points first? In school we were taught to think in what then where order. That's how the df -h command works on Linux, the way most people think. When you want to eat, most of us think what do I want to eat, then where.

That command works fine on Linux, what am I missing?

Heck, my mom discovered it herself on Bing's homepage and was telling me I should check it out.

Sounds like grade A Microsoft marketing speak. But wait, there's more!
