I think monetization has pushed almost everything to video. I miss the old days when people would actually write up how to do things.

I'm just learning sailing but I believe traditional sails act like wings/airfoils as well, at least for part of the thrust.

Can't tell you how many weblogic "won't starts" I fixed over the years caused by people staging ear's and war's in /tmp on Solaris.

I didn't do this personally but one enterprise I worked at ran their production DNS off an old sun ray desktop sitting on a random desk in the computer room. Eventually somebody wh…

I'm not sure the level of population in these areas would ever be sustainable, climate change or not.

This article is very light on substance and has a questionable premise. A European customs union was a German aim of the first world war, not something foisted in them by America. …

>this recent winter they were effective enough to reduce influenza-related deaths by over 95% compared to the year before. A little hard to chalk that up to masking alone given all…

It depends on where you live. In an incorporated area (town/city) generally yes. An issue though is in a city the enforcement of these kinds of things can be low priority, an HOA i…

I personally chose to live in an incorporated city but not an HOA. There are city ordinances with actual real government representation and force of law behind them for serious hea…

I'm not who you are asking but one thing to consider is you can't have a revolution without revolutionary conditions, or put more simply, revolutions don't generally happen when ti…

They also make a big use of court ordered "volunteers". They might be a non profit but their regional directors are pulling in large salaries off an operation that runs essentially…

Is it reasonable to expect a brand new aws user to know how to do those things?

And I've worked on things that have far greater consequences then a scheduling app and have had to fix all the terrible problems caused by the over engineered over "solutioned" sal…

A lot is in the 150-160 range

Development and land use patterns are way different in the Sunbelt. There are lines that go through most downtowns but most of the people live far from the stations. The passenger …

Yep. If he was truly a whistleblower he would have only released information about surveillance against Americans.

Preach. I was setting up SFTP batch jobs for financial data last year. New jobs, not migrations.

Surge protector but the spikes were huge. My drives we're actually fine what got killed was the PSU and it was a case integrated PSU, in a system I had been meaning to upgrade for …

I wonder too. Things like file and directory manipulations are way more complicated in native Python and I find the exceptions harder to troubleshoot than native commands. I'm not …

I'll probably get downvoted for this but I think desirable vs toxic masculinity tends to depend on whether the woman in question finds the man in question attractive.

I know I'm in the minority but I just don't care for python for sysadmin / devops type tasks. It fails in weird ways on file and directory manipulations and I just don't find it's …

Take a look at AWS nitro instances they give you "free" ipsec type network encryption with some caveats I forget.
