I would get comfortable with the idea of breaking things. Make regular backups of your data. The best that I'm aware of for making it easy to work backwards from breaking things is NixOS, but I wouldn't consider it beginner friendly.

You learn a lot from trying to bring a system back online. But it depends if you're trying Linux to learn it more or just to take advance of privacy.

Yes, though this is true of a lot of the easier distros.

Not a lawyer, but worked closely with them in the past. It REALLY depends on your employment contract. Changing variable names and language still makes it a derivative work, so it would depend on the original license. I'm assuming it doesn't have a license which would mean either you or the company owns the copyright: depends on your employment contract. Whether you're a contractor or full time also affects ownership.

Without ownership or a license, you do not have the legal right to copy the work or make a derivative of it.

I'm not clear on whether you actually wrote any code though. If that's the case (that no code was written) then I'm not really sure how that works out. If you do post it and they find out, AND they're mad about it, you could definitely get fired. I'm not sure if there could also be legal trouble or not.

If you need it for a resume item, you can just list it on your resume and talk about it. You could also implement it on your own time (but not share it until you're sure you're safe from legal action), that way you could talk about tradeoffs you've made, etc. in the real implementation.

In general, if you're not sure and you're worried about getting sued, you should ask a lawyer.

HD encryption only helps if they get physical access to the disk when the device is locked or powered off. If they get it via a backdoor or virus, then it doesn't help.

How would you make money as a mastodon instance? Pay to be a member? I don't see the incentive for the average user to pay when it's so easy to join a free instance (I'm considering the average person doesn't know how to host their own).

I was newish to Linux and had just run rm -rf ./.* to remove all the hidden files/dirs in a directory. I then wanted to run rm -rf ./* to clear the rest, but I accidentally ran rm -rf . /*. By the time I noticed it was taking too long and hit Ctrl+C, it was too late.

What IT guys did you go to?

Something just seems off with this. Major uncanny valley and the animations don't look great.

The double bat is really interesting. His fingers are terrifying.

I worked at Best Buy a long time ago. Insignia products are in house brands that are REALLY cheap and crappy quality. Dynex is also another one. We used to joke that if they made a whole PC out of Dynex parts it would probably catch fire. Even the dynex CDs would randomly crack

You just described the phrase "ignorance is bliss", which has been around for a very, very long time.

How complex are the API calls you need to make? Debugging interop mismatch can end up being more work than writing the tests if you need to deal with complex types.

The .NET languages support c interop. The documentation could use some love though.

Had a team of 10 working nights and weekends for a month because someone in sales sold a contract for an integration with a 3rd party that didn't exist yet. In the years I was there after that project shipped, only 1 person even looked at the feature, one time. It never actually got used

Shower pod at the Paris airport was the best layover I've ever had. You pay in 30 minute increments but so nice to get refreshed when you're traveling across the Atlantic.

Cleaning dog paws. You fill it with water and move it up and down the paw. The little arms clean off the dirt.

It required a cryptanalyst to write hello world.

Even worse is Windows batch scripts. The syntax also changes depending on if it's in the terminal or run from a file

That was pretty much me a few days ago. I ate food that was a little hot, and I could feel it going through my insides for a little while, and it was painful. My fever was close to 103.

I'm not sure what restrictions will be when he obviously tries to appeal. Can't go to his sons though since they're also affected by the order.
