  • be a friend to the animals

    Jump

  • just leave them in place (within reason). your chickens probably loved the leaves because a lot of native bugs use dead leaves to lay their eggs; both mowing the leaves and giving them to the chickens probably killed a lottttt of bugs. and it removes important nutrients from your homes immediate surrounding ecosystem. you'll save butterflies and fireflies!

  • Why have so many services started using single-factor passwordless authentication in the last little while?

    Jump

  • you're asking the refugee who just immigrated, is learning the local language, and may not have had as much exposure to web banking systems and MFA and many aspects of cybersecurity to figure out how to set this up and manage it well without accidentally losing access.

    you're asking the old retiree who has no family left to help them and doesn't understand technology very well but understands how to open the shortcut to the banks website and check their texts to suddenly understand a much more complex system than they're used to.

    you're asking the young adult whose school didn't teach them about technology and they were too poor to have much of their own to instantly learn about even more tools and apps on top of trying to adjust to using technology in general.

    I'm not saying that improving security or moving towards a more secure baseline is bad, but for some critical public services security absolutely does not always trump accessibility. cybersecurity and technology education is more necessary at all levels and must equitably taught, but that will take time, resources, and effort. there are ways to improve security without compromising accessibility.

  • you underestimate how bad a lot of people are at using technology. something like banking can be a necessity and must be accessible to all. many banks should encourage more secure MFA but i understand why they can't require it.

  • What are you all using for a 2FA token manager?

    Jump

  • Bitwarden as Vaultwarden enables TOTP.

  • People who have permanently moved to another country, what gave you the opportunity and was it worth it?

    Jump

  • or it turned out so great that when presented the opportunity they were excited to do so

  • Do you like systemd?

    Jump

  • it pisses me off so much. what do you mean theres no way to set the priority of nameservers or to force them to be resolved in a specific order? no i don't want a public nameserver thats only there as backup to take precedence over my local nameserver thats necessary for kerberos to work!

  • Do you like systemd?

    Jump

  • I think the biggest problem is that developing each other underlying subsystems without the rest is a hassle. As such no one has come up with a non-systemd dbus replacement. But there is a lot that can be replaced. There are some systemd services i just turn off immediately woth new installs and use something else because they're such dogshit (looking at you resolved).

    god i fucking hate systemd-resolved

  • Do you like systemd?

    Jump

  • if sysv init or open rc are ed and sed, then systemd is Visual Studio or Pycharm; they have some functionality that overlaps but they scopes of what they do are completely different

  • Do you like systemd?

    Jump

  • So people hate on systemd because they interpret it as an init system thats gone too far and has thus violated the unix principle. in reality systemd is an entire suite of tools based around a very feature rich and robust service management suite that also includes an init system. there is something to be said about the Linux ecosystem's reliance on systemd, but there are no comparable tools. this is why Arch uses systemd. if you dont want to use systemd, you can use distros like Arco Linux; however currently Gnome no longer works on Arco

  • Cast iron rule

    Jump

  • A) you don't know someone's situation so don't pass judgement when there are very valid reasons theg may not have the time of energy, as if mental health isn't a valid reason already

    B) soaking for 5 minutes is definitely not the same getting a good long soak

    Jump

  • im not OP but yes. as every tech company im pretty sure they have skeletons im forgetting, but yes

  • Ideas

    Jump

  • I actually have a hybrid setup. My public DNS and my mail server are in the cloud as those are too important to risk going down. I also have a FreeIPA replica in the cloud to help manage them. Then I set basically everything else up in my homelab because I don't care if roundcube goes down so long as IMAP and SMTP still work.

  • Fucking pointless

    Jump

  • dont forget commercial cookware to go along with it.

    your mother-in-law's fine china definitely won't like a commercial dishwasher that's for sure

  • They have nearly monopolized a lot of web traffic with their CDN, proxies, and other services. Yes they can provide a good product, but this much influence over the internet is not a good thing. it's not healthy for maintaining an open web, but that's long since been killed.

  • Fucking pointless

    Jump

  • ive worked food service and wish i could say the same. I'd be all over dishes of i had at least a full power overhead sprayer. preferably with a 3 compartment sink but what i really want is the sprayer. the sprayer makes dishes fun.

  • There are various forms of sexual assault but they violated his consent and then continued to engage in a sexual activity. that's rape.

  • Got another one hooked guys!

    Jump

  • bluetooth can be a common frustration point, but the Windows shared folders should work. Do you mind me asking what you've tried so far?

  • what if your local community and the trek into town was bikeable and/or had a bus route to a robust rail network

  • Non-Negotiable!

    Jump

  • maybe we're dumb for shitting on the jellyfish's way of life.

  • Just keep marching...

    Jump

  • that's because that was classical warfare with well established rules. You had bright uniforms because the enemy should be easily identifiable so you don't mix them up with civilians. music is one of the easiest ways to communicate important information and keep people together where shouting may be drowned out or miscommunicated.
