Oh, it’s been a while that my rm -r * .o taught me about backups.

All of that happens the exact opposite way when you compare Writer with Word.

And Presenter compared to Power Point has the clear answer that you shouldn’t use either.

Either way, Excel is the one good piece of software in MS Office. Has always been, and I don’t expect it to change in the future. (Except maybe if they decide to make Excel bad.) But that’s only as long as it always corrupting anything mildly complex doesn’t bother you.

I fully expect people to keep using a broken Xorg, not move into wayland, and not fork and keep it updated.

But the devs are free to do whatever they want. No opinions there. I wouldn’t want to maintain Xorg either.

It peaked somewhere between 2000 and 7. Personally, I place it in XP, but opinions vary.

an immutable distro is not necessarily declarative

It is necessarily so. You can’t configure an immutable distro by a sequence of mutations.

But yes, the other way around is quite possible.

So, you need a unix time value followed by 000?

That first part you can calculate with date +%s -d '2024-07-02 12:00'.

That’s just sloppiness.

The information that familiarity gives you is “WTF does this field means”, and it’s the only thing that’s actually there. How you get a value and how a value is formatted are things no amount of expertise will save you from having to tell the computer, and thus you can’t just forget about.

(And let me guess, the software recommended install is a docker image?)

Oh, the headless version of the game makes much more sense than a headless link.

But if you launch a headless program underneath your particular user, with which you’re then going to log off, then it will close regardless

Nohup is your friend.

You say some software is “headless” if you can launch it, log-off your computer and it keeps running.

I imagine it’s a link suitable to use with c-url, but I never even noticed it’s there.

Yep.

But there also exists Endpoint Detection and Prevention System, Intrusion Prevention System, Enterprise Security system, Network Threat Detection, Network Threat Prevention… And all those things name the exact same products (or at least, products you buy bundled on the same package).

Somehow I managed to use the one acronym that is wrong.

It’s an oops.

It should be IDS.

Remember guys, it took about a decade for Solar Winds to discover somebody had root access to everybody that used their software, another decade for somebody outside Solar Winds to discover it and tell everybody, and half a decade with nobody claiming to have solved the issue up to now.

So when you believe that your computer with an EDS is safe just because you can’t use it, think again.

It has been in exponential growth since the signal was distinguishable from the noise, and exponentials do not have inflection points…

The only inflection we can expect is when it reaches 1/4 of saturation.

Tony Lazuto says you should delete System32

Yep, different licenses have different consequences.

The same way, if the BSD internet stack was GPL, we wouldn’t have an internet at all.

That’s yet another great joke that GNU ruined.

Well, ok. I don’t really plan to do that. It was a joke.

I do wish it was something viable, though.

That’s why I plan to move my servers into an L4 clone.

It’s close to 1 in 20 PCs nowadays. It’s growing very quickly, and has been adopted in non-irrelevant amounts for a few years already.
