Digital media just kills me. Back in the CD and DVD days I sent back a bunch of discs that were too scrarched to use and i would get coupons to replace them. Often times the publishers included an extra one just because they didn’t want you to pirate stuff. Buying physical media meant you licensed it even when you physically couldn’t so they were compelled to solve the problem.
I just self host gitolite. I wrote a script for archiving tagged versions to zip files as well as an optional parameter to pipe code into a markdown file and convert that to HTML for code i wish to show people. Everything else I do through the cli and have no use for a fancy UI.
That’s why you learn to make fried rice. Just use day old badly cooked rice.
See you’re trying to steer the conversation
Not that a date in a file really is valid evidence, but the point is to define when the copyright occurs. If i come back and say “well i did that same thing before you did” them it would make your copyright invalid.
If you update then you add an additional date.
I’ve always been amazed when i get a new “seasoned” project manager and they try to really work on making all the tracking as efficient as possible so they have tons of metrics.
…and then nothing happens. We don’t look at projects and tasks and figure out which work would be best for which team members based on past experience. We don’t do any sort of optimization. We just track “velocity” and our estimates on release end up more dependent on how new the tech or the concept is (not knowing what we don’t know) than anything else.
I think its less about not understanding and more that these concepts only work in unrealistic scenarios that aren’t real. It’s the same with Agile. They never address the actual issue and try to work around them which never works.
I, as one of the ten people on the planet who writes awk scripts, noticed the most powerful text processing tool is missing.
I feel like HURD is the generational starship of operating systems. Will never be completed in my lifetime but eventually my great great grand children may some day use it.
Think less about time sharing and more about using all the computers you own together.
You would have a netbook with no compute power as your UI sitting on your couch. You could connect to your beefy desktop to do all the computations for your video editor or playing a game and never have to be sitting at your desk.
You could also have a big file store device with lots of drives to store stuff.
We can do some of this now, I ssh into my desktop from my couch and have a NFS in the basement. But they all operate as separate devices that i have to really work at getting to operate together. Plan9 was designed where you’d just pick devices off of the network and the tasks operated normally. Pick your video card, local or over the network to the beefier GPU.
Oh we need a Jarrarium community too. As well as one to talk about isopods and springtails.
Think that issue gets resolved quickly as no one really has the power in tenure anymore. If everyone only has a few years a cycle or two of stalemates will eventually lead to both sides having to work together or try and win the entire house.
More like reasonable term limits.
Two terms for each position seems reasonable so you can be asked to continue or asked to leave. This allows you to run on a policy, implement it and then fix it or things that need to be tweaked and then get out.

I don’t think it matters what tools you use as long as it works.
That would be true if other systems and services depend on them. Would have been nice to come out with a standard and designed systemd around that standard. Then you pick the tool you want that follows the standard rather than be tied into systemd.
Worth noting is that a process not managed by pid 1 isn’t really a thing you want generally
I would disagree. A compromised Docker doesn’t mean i have access to things managed by PID1. The entire control model is based around moving your publicly available services further away from something with the highest level of access. Be it users or processes.
Their complaint was that people bitch about systemd. The issue people have is that systemd does too much.
And systemd is far more resources intensive than runit. Wasn’t really the point.
Kind of nice to not have a bug in my container service possibly have access to pid 1.
Personally I’d like my container/vm/chroot handled by something detached from pid 1. I get that much of the overal systemd project is separate blocks of code but it’s the fact they are bound together that it becomes an issue. I would have loved for the systemd team yo first publish a set of APIs that all their components would us and allow the same integration while being completely different projects.
That is pretty cool.
But its also another example of systemd doing stuff other services already did (see lxc).
i would ask them how they think we should combat the immense amount of disinformation about what AI is, what it feasibly can do, and how much it disrupts our lives.
There are way too many techbros out there pushing this dooms day idea, stealing jobs, etc. Its all hype to sell their snake oil and i think its all our jobs to combat that.
