The version of bloody knuckles that we had at school was you put your fist on the table vertically, knuckles towards your opponent. Then you take turns flicking a coin at each other’s knuckles.

I don’t mind if an IoT device has the capability to use a SaaS service. But it shouldn’t depend on it.

A lot of things that come with software that people despise would be fine if the software wasn’t designed to monetize the fuck out of you.

• Having a media center built into the TV and being able to control both with a single remote is nice. Having the media center push ads and tell me which applications it’s allowed to run sucks donkey balls.
• IoT devices that depend on someone else’s online service can go die in a fire. Programmable devices that work with my own home server are awfully convenient.

The common thread here is not that there’s a niche where software hasn’t been introduced yet, but that there’s a dearth of good software/firmware.

If I had a nickel for every time in the past week I saw an article about a courier game I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t much, but it’s odd that it happened twice.

Usually created by people who don’t know how to grill.

The main subcategory of these people are those that cook it from frozen.

I’m assuming that the haunting is because I had a vendetta against the haunted. In that case, I’d make their life miserable in the most subtle ways, including but not limited to:

• Move their furniture half an inch at random so they keep stubbing their toes.
• Make their clothing get stuck in doorhandles.
• Loosen the knobs on their drawers.
• Loosen the screws on the handles of their pots and pans by an eight of a turn.
• Shift things in their cupboards so that something falls out every time they open them.
• Damage the gaskets on their windows so that there’s a draft and constant whistling sound.
• Reopen their resealable packages a little bit so the food spoils faster.
• Make their toilet leak, but only when they’re sleeping.
• Pack lint into their phone’s charging port so that their charger never plugs in snugly.
• Unbalance their appliances so they rattle/shake.
• Slightly unbalance their car tires.
• Loosen fasteners in their car so it produces annoying rattles.
• Make their pens leak.

Yeah, you’d have a LoadBalancer service for Traefik which gets assigned a VIP outside the cluster.

Yeah, metallb.

The container is reproducible. Container configuration is in version control. That leaves you with the volumes mounted into the container, which you back up like any other disk.

It’s not that Seagate improved (which it may have), it’s more that WD has noticeably declined. It’s not a race to the bottom (yet), but there’s effectively no competition any more, so they aren’t incentivised to improve quality.

Figure out the uid/gid (numeric) for the user in lxc, then change the data permissions to those.

Getting older. The cat sleeps even more, and the dog is arthritic and losing eyesight. Both are in good health otherwise, and happy to have more people around in the summer.

The stick is superior, but the question is which one you take. Take the rock. Use the stick, then leave it in a conspicuous place for the next person to find and enjoy, to maximize the stick value.

Use -m and limit the build job’s memory so it doesn’t kill the docker daemon.

If it was a Futurama setting, would he be Gender Bender?

missing a link?

A severe lack of imagination.

Not sure what you are talking about. Paragraph 1 has

The malware is delivered through a fake Google Chrome update that is shown while using the web browser.

and the article makes it pretty clear after that that the user is tricked into installing the fake apk.

For me Hyperion ended up giving me the closest out of the box experience to what I wanted.

Brian Kernighan. Got the chance to have lunch with him!
