This is also true for UDP and ICMP connections, in case anyone reading wasn't sure. This is how you're able to ping stream and browse from behind your regular firewalls

Oh I know, I was agreeing with you!

I was outlining a problem that containers can't (currently) solve in solidarity. Sorry, that wasn't clear.

I can't figure out how to get them to work they way I want.

I don't store any history/cookie/cache data by default, it's all eliminated on shutdown of the browser. So I have to put in exceptions for password managers, tickting systems and other stuff.

Like, what if I want to have whatsapp in a container? Well, if you want it to work nicely, you need to allow persistant cookies. Then it stays logged in between sessions.

But that exception is valid for all containers, not just the whatsapp container. I work for an MSP, I've got hundreds of accounts to the same few sites, adobe/microsoft/antivirus and they all work fine! But there's tracking cookies for those sites too that can be stored and retrieved too.

I want per container cookie/cache exception options, because forcing a site to open in a single container isn't viable in all circumstances. That's why I have to use profiles.

Ubuntu GUI/apt fail

Back when I used ubuntu, Unity was stuck with old gnome packages. This meant that the version gnome-terminal packaged with ubuntu (up to at least 18.04) didn't have text reflow on window size changes.

You could add the upstream sources, upgrade the specific text reflow package only, and then disable the sources.

I forgot to disable the sources, or typed dist-upgrade (this happened multiple times...). Broke the whole desktop/lightdm setup with half upgraded packages, and half removed packages (for preparation to install new versions). Way easier to reinstall the os than to disentangle. Unity was a mess then anyway.

Moral: Actually read the package change summaries when doing updates/removes/installs, and [ y/N ] means actually check what the fuck you think you're agreeing to.

BtrFS snapshots for idiots

I've also run automated snapshots on my btrfs partition, then run out of space doing multi-hop system upgrade on fedora (dnf has a plugin that creates a snapshot every time it kicks in.

You can imagine there were many changes happenning per snapshot, and I effectively could have rolled back 4 major fedora versions... Til I ran out of space.

I couldn't get a replacement drive in time, and I had an hour to rebuild my laptop before needing to be on a customer site, so sadly I couldn't preserve my drive for later investigation. My best guess is the high-water-mark was configured incorrectly, and somehow it was able to 'write' data past the extents of the filesystem.

Rollback did work for my home partition, but I had to mount it from another OS to get it to work - so no data loss!

By that time I'd already reinstalled the os to the root partition/subvolume however, so I couldn't determine the exact cause of failure :(

Moral: Snapshots are not backups, and 'working' is not 'tested'

Musicolet is my choice too.It’s not on fdroid, but the dev makes the apk available from their site

Your feeds look like my feeds. I approve

No, that’s handled by ARP requests. In this case, it’s likely that the DHCP server is on the gateway, as that’s a pretty common setup for home ISP router arrangements.

Gateway refers to a router that has access to other networks. In this case, the default gateway, which will be the router that has access to the internet.

DNS or name servers are a separate option in DHCP leases, as are the IP addresses for DHCP servers, which are more of a windows thing generally.

In this case this comment is probably an accurate description of what’s happened:

I switched to Thunder. It’s not perfect (search could use some work).

It doesn’t reload my main feed everytime I return after looking at an article, and lets me hid posts I’ve ‘read’. ¯(ツ)_/¯. It supports amoled black themes, swipe gestures and is reasonably unobtrusive.

Also, it’s cross platform for iOS and android, and I switch back and forth on a daily basis.

You might check your BIOS clock time too, if the certs are ‘expired’, it might be the future, or more likely, the past. Certs have validity timers that specify start and end.

It’s more likely that your BIOS is just old, and you’ll have to keep secure boot disabled from now on.

I’d hesitate to call it truly enterprise, but I’ve used the 24 port/10Gbe version of these in a datacenter. Not many issues to write home about - seems to handle vlanning pretty well.

Has 10Gbe uplinks, US power, and PoE+. Probably access to a fancy dashboard too.

$1600 is probably as cheap as you’re getting.

Edit: Oh yeah, they’re probably not dual attached, and the ‘redundant power supply’ (RPS) is a separate appliance, which I consider kinda bullshit, that takes up another U.

I’ve had no trouble with actual switching performance though fwiw.

Edit 2: They’re probably compatible with the AR mobile app, which is hella cool, and somewhat useful in customer sites.

48 port Ubiquiti

The lady in my ear just told me that “Bluetooth Disconnected,” but she knows I’ll be back soon.

Same. There is also a handicap rail through my sternum.

Do not forget to log out and log back in after you add yourself to a new group. Your desktop environment is a program, and it won’t know about the update until you spawn a new graphical shell with the updated permissions.

I’d like to add Ryo Fukui to this list. If you’ve not listened to the album Scenery, 2005 - do so at your earliest convenience!

My favourite song of the album is Early Summer, but the whole thing is an absolute bop!

I’ve been eying up this one. Have you used other ereaders before? Have you got anything to compare it to?

I hear that having a screen that isn’t flush with the touch surface really improves the word clarity. I’m not really enjoying my paperwhite 5 because it’s has a weird blurred effect on the screen because it’s flush

I bought strawberry nesquik the other day and made a litre of it in a mason jar.

I've given up smoking, vaping, and recently caffeine. Leave me this one vice!

Well I think you're my kind cat!

Chef Boyardee and Heinz Tinned Spaghetti.

If I’m doing a grocery shop alone, I can’t be trusted not to buy some. Sometimes I bring some home. Sometimes it doesn’t make it.

Oh yeah, I like it cold too. I know I’m a monster.
