Remind me: Mozilla is the company that couldn't cope with ... building Mozilla. Right? #seamonkey

Kinda orthogonal but I will say it's weird that we can still vote with our wallets.

the data only goes back to 1979 and has not yet been verified by NOAA which has data going back to 1880.

There's a whole hot world outside of America who don't need to wait for its underfunded organizations to get around to validating the data.

But I get it. The news is dire. It's neat to cling to uncertainty in times like this unless you lived in Lytton

Yes. Our 12% will really make a difference vs corporations' 80%. And we can get to that 12% if so 8 billion of us work together. I'm doing my 0.0000001% part!

Thanks. I'm sorry it's yet another science project, though.

I'm plenty technical, with a few C contributions to projects in the web and VPN space. But with two jobs and three ageing parents, I'm tapped out!

That's the real problem -- the product sucks.

Sister's vet office is now offline again for COVID. Docs sick, most of the tech staff, most of the admin staff. When it hits, it runs through like a forest fire. One vet left because F the angry pet owners who think it's a personal insult they can't get special treatment, and he replaced one of the two who killed themselves (stress) last year.

They may institute a mask mandate again

• to keep the remaining staff healthy on return
• to filter their customers further because of high correlation of shitbaggery
• because docs are always masked so lower risk is now a work perq for them.

Me, I quit my job when they mandated return to work and I joined a union shop with 100% remote in the contract. I should mask up when I go to the store but I'm a dumb boy and always forget. I'm so vaxed it's like a bad hangover, but I don't have time for even that mess.

Making reddit go back only shows they have the motive, means, and now another opportunity to try again.

Kill it. Leave their corpse at the gates so others know not to alienate all the cattle.

I found keepassium for the work phone and I was in love that I could keep a separate db with my OTPs under a password and backed up.

Then I left that job and had to split my OTPs. Vanilla keepass for droid will gives me the OTP values for gitlab etc, so it's good there, but Vanilla keepassium for Android has no camera/QR->OTP input that I have yet, one that works like keepassium does and is all compatible down the line. I'd love to keep using it to maintain the existing separate keepass OTP db I have.

Do you (or anyone) know of a good combo for droid that gets

• keepass
• backup to box/gdoc/etc
• qr for OTP

In one final package? Does XC do it in a way we think may be compatible?

The most useful part about it to me is the API. You can tie it in to Active Directory

This trick alone makes my Lemmy addiction pay off. Thanks for even suggesting such magic is possible. Adding that as a task after my samba-AD rebuild this very f'n week.

I live near a hospital. I think my data connection can't handle that kind of hit. ;-)

Maybe this will help.

I LOVE "dissolved girl" but I'm not as Gaga about the rest of the band's material. That sultry style cut with that music tempo is amazing.

It's like Finger Eleven has their their one massive departure track 'paranoid' -- all good, but very different.

I'll be checking this in the hopes it'll match a track and give me more sexy molasses for my brain.

I use flightaware and similar apps, but they all eventually want a subscription. Bleugh.

Is this one totally free ... or at least better than your average app?

100% on all points.

Swedish transit strikers and everyone else.

You're really close, yeah .

But because like every layer is checksummed both in delivery AND when it's installed, so you can easily validate a delivered file, and it's all signed with signatures you can easily check, you can at least be assured that

• what you installed is what that package delivered
• which is what the authors wanted
• and the package probably hasn't been tampered with
• even weeks after install

the chance of problems should be reduced.

Bonus1: with a proper repo config, you can check for updates so fast. It's like the chocolatey windows repo but more formalized and usually vendor-maintained.

Bonus2: bad upgrade? Enterprise packages on Linux (long description; trust me) can be reverse-installed over what's there so you can back-revise or downgrade with almost no pain. It's a good oh-no fix. At every point you can still validate that what is there should be there, according to hard signatures at every stage.

Bonus3: grabbing os version 6.1 and upgrading to 6.5 OR just installing 6.5 fresh gives the same final content - files and services - when you're done. (almost entirely) No cruft, since package installs (because of the locking below) just install over themselves in a way Linux people just accept and windows people may freak over.

Linux bonus: Linux locks file differently; again, long description, so trust me or look it up. You can upgrade many files and services without stopping them, and then bounce a service or a host, so your patch-and-bounce process is fast, it happens after the upgrades, and is like 2 min or with systemd 3min.

Ultimately

• use packages for wayyyy easier, consistent, reliable, tested, quasi-roll-back-able updates that you can validate all the way down.
• and still that SNMP connection to check content remotely. It's so great.

There's a lot of value in a sleeping area that can get really really dark.

I'm ever so grateful for electrical tape.

Thank you for that explanation!

I don't think it's Facebook's business, nor in its best interest or ours to store those messages, either way.

Read the article again and again, and then eventually understand the meta-issue here.
