  • There are many ways to skin the cat for centralized login in Linux, including using Samba-AD or just LDAP.

    Patching is IMO less fun. Landscape can work for Ubuntu but it's finicky, and I haven't really found anything satisfactory (FOSS) for patch management if multiple Debian systems. Setting up "unattended-upgrades" does tend to handle most of it but that doesn't give centralized control or visibility.

  • Yeah it "works" on LG TVs but only if I don't use SSL, possibly due to the (perfectly valid) LetsEncrypt certificate in my case.

    That's not a huge deal for my LAN access but it's still pretty dumb. It would be nice if more devices properly supported it.

  • Mine, no, but I definitely know people who went from very happy with their lives to deep depression in a shorter period then that.

    That doesn't necessarily equal suicidal tendencies in all cases but there's certainly common ground been the two.

  • Yeah. My buddy lived with his SO. They had kids together. I believe they did have plans to get married but there were financial/planning considerations. At the time, the house was in his name.

    He died unexpectedly and without warning due to a previously unknown medical condition. I don't believe he had a W&T.

    The paperwork she had to deal with - much of which would have been not required had they been married - was horrendous, especially anything bank related. The bank also seemed to be doing their best to fuck her over in regards to the family home. It was a nasty ordeal.

  • Yeah. Positive reinforcement works across a lot of species.. Just because the OP is used to using it with canines first doesn't make it bad to use on humans We could all use a little pick-up sometimes, just doing fine the M&M's to rover and a milk bone to the partner by mistake.

  • Yeah, I was thinking the same. It's basically a visible representation of somebody's thought process. It may indicate something important to them, something they're passionate about, or just a point decision without due consideration for consequences.

    People get tattoos that are extremely artistic and represent a significant investment in both time and money. Many get tattoos about something they have a passion for. Some to honor deceased loved ones. Some to represent their culture.

    Others get a facial tat with prison symbols or to make themselves look like a lizard/devil, which I can only describe as a "look-at-me" tattoo. That may not be the type of personality you want working for you or even to hang out with.

    Others it's a "hey we were drinking and just got this cool new tattoo gun" or "I wanted ink but didn't bother to research local artists or pay for someone that does good work or can spell" ...

  • Free for life? Here is always been free for only the first few years of ownership and then you pay, plus the system is fucking terrible and doesn't work half the time.

  • Yeah those tariffs on Canada are certainly going to help that, and he certainly never said they'd be lifted if Canada became a, what was it? Ah yes, "beloved 51st state"

    As for 6% mortgages, that's not a particularly high number actually. If you went in a 2% expecting that to last forever, maybe.

  • The privacy thing isn't necessarily part of advertising though.

    Advertising can be as complex as targeted algorithms built using harvested information and even AI bullshit, or as simple as a sign by the road saying "next right for MegaBurger" or even a small box with "Bob's autoglass repair" in the paper.

    It's the volume and invasiveness that's a problem. Ads in your mailbox, ads in your inbox, ads on your streaming service and when you turn on your Roku etc etc acting as blockers to the content you're actually looking for.

    I'm totally cool too go back to having an "autoglass" or "plumbers" section in paper and online yellow Pages etc, which target people actually looking for a service. I'm also cool with places which I subscribe to advertising me deals I might like (not so much signing me up for their shit the first time I buy from them), but the shoving crap in people's face and information harvesting that needs to end.

    Hell, I even have a collection of saved ads that were clever and entertaining I'd share with people, yet most companies go for volume (both audible and amount) over substance
