4·2 months agoThe OpenBSD project maintains portable versions of many subsystems as packages for other operating systems. Because of the project’s preferred BSD license, which allows binary redistributions without the source code, many components are reused in proprietary and corporate-sponsored software projects. The firewall code in Apple’s macOS is based on OpenBSD’s PF firewall code,[6] Android’s Bionic C standard library is based on OpenBSD code,[7] LLVM uses OpenBSD’s regular expression library,[8] and Windows 10 uses OpenSSH (OpenBSD Secure Shell) with LibreSSL.[9]
Zim desktop wiki? I’ve used it for years. Cross platform, open source, lots of features. Bear in mind that there are a lot of plugins, including one specifically for journaling
Not seen where protected categories are mentioned but they aren’t vague. The evidence will presumably be that she was thrown out/barred based on an automated camera recommendation. This will be on record and thus she can show harm. The security guard apparently gave a reason for ejection at the time, ditto. What can the retailer say? “Oh someone else told us she was someone else your honour”? Most likely they will try to settle out of court.
‘Standing’? This isn’t the US. The law in the UK is a bit different.
In British administrative law, an applicant needs to have a sufficient interest in the matter to which the application relates
I think this woman can show that

It seems that you’ve misunderstood what the issue is here from cloudflare’s perspective. The customer was using cloudflare IP addresses, which is causing a knock-on effect for the rest of cloudflare’s customers and putting cloudflare as a business themselves at risk. The alternative was for the customer to use their own IP addresses as cloudflare advised . I’m not sure what you think ‘Business development’ teams do but I certainly wouldn’t be expecting engineering advice from them.
If there’s ‘nothing stopping’ it then why has nobody done it? Apple moved from x86 to ARM. Mobile is all ARM. All the big cloud providers are doing their own ARM chips. Intel killed off much of the architectural competition with Itanic in the early 2000’s. Why stop?
If you look at the price for a Mac versus a Windows computer, I think it’s pretty obvious why people might choose a Windows device. For Linux, you really have to know where to look to buy a laptop that is shipped or warrantied with Linux. People tend to buy Windows computers because that’s what’s advertised available, familiar and in their price bracket.
Disclaimer: my main laptop is Mac. I have a secondary one running Linux and although I have a work laptop running Windows, that wasn’t my choice and I don’t have Windows on any personal devices.
22·3 months agoComing from what looks to me like a different perspective to many of the commenters here (Disclosure I am a professional platform engineer):
If you are already scripting your setups then yes you should absolutely learn/use Ansible. The key reasons are that it is robust, explicit, and repeatable- doesn’t matter whether that’s the same host multiple times or multiple hosts. I have lost count of the number of pet Bash scripts I have encountered in various shops, many of them created by quite talented people. They all had problems. Some typical ones:
Issue Example Most people write bash scripts without dependency checks ‘Of course everyone will have gnu coreutils installed, it’s part of every Linux distro’ - someone runs the script on a Mac We need to pass this action out to a command-line tool, that’s obvious Fails if command-line tool isn’t available, no handling errors from tool if they aren’t exactly what’s expected Of course people will realise that they need to run this from an environment prepared in this exact (undocumented) way Someone runs the script in a different environment Of course people will be running this on x86_64/AMD64, all these third party binaries are available for that Someone runs it on ARM Of course people will know what to do if the script fails midway through People try to re-run the script when it fails mid-way through and it’s a mess The thing about Ansible is that it can be modular (if you want) and you can use other people’s code but fundamentally it runs one step at a time. You will know for each step:
- Are dependencies met?
- Did that step succeed or fail (in realtime!)?
- (If it failed) what was the error?
- (Assuming you have written sane Ansible) you can re-run your playbook at any time to get the ‘same’ result. No worries about being left in an indeterminate state
- (To an extent) It is self-documenting
- Host architecture doesn’t really matter
- Target architecture/OS is specified and clear

Simulated CP is legally considered the same as ‘actual’ CP in the UK
There’s plenty available in larger sizes if you look for ‘commercial display’ instead, e.g.
Also you need to move on from ‘as long as you don’t connect them to the internet’. It may have been true once, it isn’t true anymore- see comments here about Roku TV including from OP and discussion on a recent Hacker news thread
4·7 months agoSure. And then boot the client single user, and go even more nuts.
P.s. I’m not a windows fan
with ActiveDirectory ad group policies you can centrally configure the entire windows installation to the point that it isn’t possible for a local user, even with admin to leave the domain. User groups in Linux don’t really cover the use cases for installing and uninstalling applications and configuring options within all of those applications. Yes you can do some similar stuff with, e.g. FreeIPA or even binding to AD but fundamentally you have a local system with remote admin added on.
Avoiding snark and concentrating on first party features:
- Domain integration, e.g. ActiveDirectory
- Group policy configuration
You can do these things to an extent bit not as comprehensively and robustly
From the UK, actually born in Essex. Yes, 20-30 years ago people laughed at these, me included. These days you wouldn’t tell them in public, if at all. Same as for ‘Englishman, Irishman, Scotsman’ jokes.
Anytime you’re picking on someone for a characteristic that:
- They didn’t choose
- They can’t change
That’s a bad look. These days if you tell a joke like this at work you’re likely to get bad looks and your sudden employment will look bad.
GitLab just doesn’t compare in my view:
To begin with, you have three different major versions to work with:
Each of which have different features available and limitations, but all sharing the same documentation- A recipe for confusion if ever I saw one. Some of what’s documented only applies to you the enterprise SAAS as used by GitLab themselves and not available to customers.
Whilst theoretically, it should be possible to have a gitlab pipeline equivalent to GitHub actions, invariably these seem to metastasize In production to use
includesmaking them tens or hundreds of thousands of lines long. Yes, I’m speaking from production experience across multiple organisations. Things that you would think were obvious and straightforward, especially coming from GitHub actions, seen difficult or impossible, example:I wanted to set up a GitHub action for a little Golang app: on push to any branch run tests and make a release build available, retaining artefacts for a week. On merging to main, make a release build available with artefacts retained indefinitely. Took me a couple of hours when I’d never done this before but all more or less as one would expect. I tried to do the equivalent in gitlab free SAAS and I gave up after a day and a half- testing and building was okay but it seems that you’re expected to use a third party artefact store. Yes, you could make the case that this is outside of remit, although given that the major competitor or alternative supports this, that seems a strange position. In any case though, you would expect it to be clearly documented, it isn’t or at least wasn’t 6 months ago.
