  • Or your boss'.If you're given a new tool and told to use it in your work, you need to be given time to learn how to use it and find problems. If your boss gives you a new (not to mention unreliable) tool and less time to work within, you're both going to have a bad time™.

  • How are people discovering random subdomains on my server?

    Jump

  • Dang, it could be the upstream DNS server passing along client queries. Maybe the ISP?

    In that case not even curl would be safe unless you could ensure all queries only resolve on your gear. Either use a host file entry or local DNS server.

  • Have you sent the URL across any messaging services? Lots of them look up links you share to see if it's malware (and maybe also to shovel into their AI). Even email services do this.

  • There are tools like snapper and btrbk that periodically make snapshots. Since btrfs is a COW filesystem, the live subvolume just stores newer changes on top of the snapshot — it doesn't need to copy anything until it changes. Only when file data is no-longer referenced is it actually marked free to overwrite. This can make disk usage a bit un-intuitive since you can have large files stuck in snapshots that don't show up in your live subvolumes but still use up space. It can really save you from serious mess ups and is really cheap in terms of performance. It's also possible to send snapshots over a network to another machine if you want longer term backups without keeping them on local disks.

  • Chinese semiconductor outfit has Linux MPP repository on Github disabled after a DMCA takedown request & FFmpeg team accuses it of using libavcodec code without attribution

    Jump

  • Oh wow, so they actually stripped off the attribution to ffmpeg and slapped their own name and license in place of it. Now they're forced to restored the license they're working to rewrite it all themselves so they can delete the copyrighted code. They're so sorry though.

  • Do you mean Neptune? Pluto's perihelion is 29.7 AU while Uranus' aphelion is 20.1 AU.

  • GNOME & Firefox Consider Disabling Middle Click Paste By Default: "An X11'ism...Dumpster Fire"

  • There's also shift+insert if you want a keyboard shortcut. I remapped it to meh+v.

  • Audio dongles and the ghost of USB 1

    Jump

  • Ironically, the conclusion is that the stupidly high claimed sample rates are a good indicator that these dongles won't be afflicted by this bandwidth-scheduling problem. Though they can have various other issues.

  • I hacked mars!

  • The third fuckload has to be stored off-site. Also, make sure to use at least two different kinds of plants.

  • Hmm I guess for optimum performance, best practice would be to sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /; sudo fstrim -av; sudo reboot

  • That's part of the bloat in emacs.
