  • This legendary excerpt from his Wikipedia:

    Mitnick served five years in prison—four-and-a-half years' pre-trial and eight months in solitary confinement—because, according to Mitnick, law enforcement officials convinced a judge that he had the ability to "start a nuclear war by whistling into a pay phone", implying that law enforcement told the judge that he could somehow dial into the NORAD modem via a payphone from prison and communicate with the modem by whistling to launch nuclear missiles.

  • For a long time my setup was mate with Compton and awesome but I had to switch to just mate as my family and kids started using the computer more. Mate's gtk suite is lightweight and complements awesome well as it gets out of the way, and caja/pluma/etc worked well with very few rough edges.

  • Phenomenal troublemaker dog name. This was our boy in his final week...deaf as a post, thought he was being totally silent while noisily stealing chips.

  • My cocker who passed away last year (at 15, lived a great life) was named Rygel! Dominar naturally!

  • I have been trolling people for years with passionate wat-too-serious arguments that the rainbow is ROY G BAP for blue and purple.

  • I agree, I had a darter that was garbage...but both my wild dog and thelio have been spectacular, and I trust their hardware and PCB dev absed on success in the thelio custom PCBs and launch keyboard. I think judging them by their clevo rebrand isn't as valid as judging them by the launch and the thelio. If I needed a laptop, I'd strongly consider this

  • Management and technical skillsets are totally different, and in my experience, people who are good at politicking but not great at technical work move up, whereas great technical people tend to not be great at politicking and top out in engineering. The problem is there is often a lot of ego and imposter syndrome to those that move from technical to management, so they like to assert technical decrees or make decisions without trusting or consulting their SME's. That's the constant rub I have seen in several orgs now between management and the IT staff.

  • Crashplan can't tell the difference between local folders and NFS mounts, and they have an unlimited size backup plan per device for like $10/month. I have 1 device with NFS mounts from many desktops and my Nas. About 9TB.

  • Subdomain; overall cheaper after a certain point to get a wildcard cert, and if you split your services up without a reverse proxy it's easier to direct names to different servers.

  • Lots. I have 2 proxmox hypervisors and 3 Raspberry Pi's; my OS of choice for servers is Ubuntu Server or Raspbian.
