Poliestre went from high school to uni to political job, and never done had a hair net and name tag. He has no idea about money, working, punching a clock, fretting about rent, draining a fry vat, re-stocking a shelf (grocery or VHS) or paying the visa with the mastercard.

Despite this, he’s learned the cost of everything while knowing the value of nothing.

He knows that austerity leads to hate, hate leads to voting out of spite, and voting out of spite leads to a conservative government. And his rich friends will be pleased if they can get in while we’re already accustomed to going without because they get more.

shutdown off

In English, that’s “shut down”.

I rented a scooter in iceland and - long story - dropped my phone just while renting it. Thus, renting a scooter was $400 that day.

Did the goalposts just move?

There are rules for backups and role separation. Some of that is in iso27002, and none of it is even known by these lost boys bereft of proper mentorship and bouyed by their own accidental success.

zoomed-in footage of blood

You don’t get ‘nicked’ in the ear by a bullet and then are just fine 3 days later. The bow wave on the bullet will tear pieces off, and even trivial damage to the cartilage will be visible for weeks after.

I’d like to host micro-instances for 1-2 subs for software: XYZApp-news and XYZApp-help or so, on the equivalent of a spur or leaf node.

But aPub seems to need M:M comms and so it needs to be out in the world instead of hidden behind an aPub proxy. True?

iOS is 60% of users in the US, where the author is from.

But only 30% of the known universe, where the author is from.

The Compress attribute has been in even ext3 since day 1. I’ve never tried it, though.

Nominative Determinism?

my buddy – on a massive zoom call all with security professionals will, when everyone takes a dog-walk break in the middle of those 3-hour calls, shout into the call and the empty offices, “Alexa! Play Baby Shark on repeat at full volume!!” and see who needs a lecture.

Tainted Love, the Softcell cover. I had its bonk-bonk as my SMS tone and the loop from bonk-bonk to bonk-bonk as a repeating chunk as my ringtone ever since I had a cell phone that could take a WAV.

Nah, nevermind. It’s still awesome. That, and the Littlest Hobo.

I love Huey Lewis and the News

Do some Doug and the Slugs for a similar sound.

Winston’s an adorable little rodenticidal maniac.

There’s portable Firefox (lots of apps actually) packages also, no install necessary in the first place.

I’m sure we went through a phase at the day job where the (windows, ugh) machine was unable to execute apps not in the approved (unwritable) locations; local admins can execute a file saved specifically in C:\windows\tmp or so, just for installs. I’m not sure that’s still in-place after the 10->11 downgrade, but I wouldn’t be surprised. We’re pretty locked-down, and while we can request exemptions for work-derived stuff, we have a large agreement confirming we never use the work gear outside of work stuff so I haven’t needed to test the boundaries lately.

I work remotely and there’s no such reg covering side-gig or home gear used for day-job stuff; can’t be, if you think about it. So I KVM the pretty monitors and comfy keyboard over to the work box in the 9-5 and leave it absolutely untouched outside of that. It’s even in its own DMZ because we’re a small section of a larger shitbag global exploitation company and they could demand some whackadoo spy shit on us without us knowing, until we find out and tell the union.

So.

1. you maybe can’t run third-party apps without a local admin account
2. KVM switch. I use the one also available at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DNS4RRY1 as HDMI is my floor tech level, but there are myriad variations to choose from.

That’s it. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk, and hit the merch table in the lobby.

maxxing

It’s ‘maxing’. It’s like ‘faxing’, ‘taxing’, or ‘relaxing’. Here’s your tree.

Airsoft gear does not look like military gear.

I used to do the odd paintball in surplus gear. Without the face shield it was the same kind of kit I used to wear for work.

That day my kid learned code for “danger, leave calmly, leave now”.

Definitely important. My wife and I have a code word for GTFO as well, from some torturous experiences with THAT part of the family.

Are you saying she should have a differentiating position

I’m saying when it’s the same for either candidate, then it cannot be a deciding factor.

Microsoft has already contributed a shitton to the Linux kernel. So long as they don’t evict, only augment, it’s a good thing.

Extend comes after Embrace; sure. Historically, guess what comes next.
