  • While LDAP/Samba are the canonical answers for "what is the AD equivalent for Linux", I would also like to point out that you could save yourself the time to maintain this by using an AD SaaS solution like Jumpcloud or similar that supports Linux. Given that you said it's for a church with about 10 computers, there might be a discounted or even free option (eg under the nonprofit category).

  • Wherever I worked it was always degree or equivalent experience. A degree just gives you (or used to) a good baseline.

  • The patients or their families don't even get the gift card, that goes to the hospital.

  • They do have a bpf sensor. It's still shite, managing to periodically peg a CPU core on an idle system. They just lifted and shifted their legacy code into the bpf sensor, they don't actually make good use of eBPF capabilities.

  • Don't underestimate these character attacks. All it took was one "Yeah!" for Howard Dean to slip.

  • Don't you think he looks tired?

  • Regulation won't work, because regulation moves slowly, and these companies find workarounds fast. And as long as the cost of breaking the rule is less than the benefits of doing so, it'll be "just the cost of doing business."

  • If the sensor was using eBPF (as any modern sensor on Linux should) then the faulty update would have made the sensor crash, but the system would still be stable. But CrowdStrike has a long history of using stupid forms of integration, so I wouldn't put it past them to also load a kernel module that fucks things up unless it's blacklisted in the bootloader. Fortunately that kind of recovery is, if not routine, at least well documented and standardized.

  • "Approve" is not the same as "want". 79% of democrats would likely approve of a ham sandwich if that was the only alternative to the cheeto.

  • SVG is probably a better fit for this use case.

    Absolutely... when available. But many companies/teams do not release SVG artwork. PNG material is much more commonly available, and actually works with these tools.

  • WebP supports both lossy and lossless compression.

    WebP did not always support lossless compression. It's conceivable that the tools' developers made the decision before that.

    Images on the web usually aren't large enough for this to make a significant difference, and it can sometimes be offset by the quicker download time.

    That does not fit the use case of diagramming tools. They usually have comparatively few assets that are used multiple times in the same document. The larger the document, the more benefit lower CPU cost has. And I've seen LARGE diagrams.

    libjpeg and libpng have had a number of CVEs too though.

    Fair. I'm just speculating that it might be a contributing factor for the tools still not supporting the format.

  • Maybe because in those scenarios PNG offers sharper images, which is more important than compression when you have complex diagrams. Or because webp is more CPU intensive, and PNG gives better performance when rendering. Or because of CVE-2023-4863.

  • Good luck using webp in any kind of collaborative diagramming software.

  • Might want to widen the template by 1px so that the tip of the leaf is not between two pixels.
