Life without a car is not an exotic luxury at all, far from it, and all your points are just proving the point. Cars are a luxury, from the amount of taxes paid towards car infrast…

Sorry for double posting, missed it at the time!

Yep, same here. Discovered I was stereoblind quite late as well as I thought it was the norm and my brain just got used to it.

Second that. I do see the difference at work where it's impossible to install Firefox and/or extensions; it's god awful to browse the web without it. I even installed it on my pare…

Also, and it's striking to me that there never was a crackdown on this, but in a lot of countries, you cannot call yourself an engineer unless you have an engineering degree from a…

Came here to say this. And he also gives a lot of insight on how men's clothing is made and why it's made that way. He also regularly gives tips on where to shop and what to look f…

Gonna give this a shot! Looks promising for SharePoint sites that are internal.

I think it should, yes. I'm going to try as soon as I can find my raspberry pi buried in the garage. It should work anywhere a USB keyboard works, realistically.

Damned, I just purchased a new keyboard with a 2.4 GHz dongle because my Bluetooth keyboard cannot with GRUB and I got tired of having to plug it in every time I rebooted. What a c…

Thought exactly the same!

And it seems to be totally generic, just 7 digits, and switching every 10 seconds instead of 30. Bitwarden can import them too.

Well, I'm still running critical services on Solaris 10 everyday and will be running them for the foreseeable future. Granted it's on an airtight network, but still, every time I s…

Here in Europe , a lot of former public utilities companies and the public sector in general has been really pushing niche OSS and OpenData projects in Europe. It's not always usef…

That's why using immutable distros is awesome. Worst case scenario, you can boot the previous version. I've been using Fedora Silverblue for a while and never got a borked upgrade.…

Lately, MTU has gotten up my list of things to check when stuff goes down. It seems carriers can't get their MTUs straight as of late, especially on MPLS links... I really thought …

Agreed 100 percent. Software is the easy part. Getting HVAC, power and network up to the levels of cloud providers is difficult to get right and prohibitively expensive. For instan…

Honestly, if you're not playing video games or require Windows for certain apps and if you're a little tech savvy, why are you still using Windows? It's not a rhetorical question, …

Hmm, interesting, it only binds on the IPv6 address. It does work but IPv4 does not seem to be working.

Just tried to set it up on a fresh Ubuntu free VM on Oracle cloud and I can't seem to be able to even login after setup. Oh well, might look into it when I have more time. Looks pr…

The UNIX layout is also my favorite layout by a mile. The backspace and control keys position is so much more natural, I don't understand why it didn't become the default layout.

I wonder what it means for SuSE Enterprise Linux in the long run. Are they going to migrate SLE to be bug-for-bug RHEL compatible but keep their own tools on top? What about OpenSU…

One thing I noticed recently during the massive heatwave we had in southern Europe is how we forgot the most basic principles for building in hot climates. For example, we enlarged…
