This is nothing but absolute bullshit. That's not how a network works and you know it. -- sorry, sorry, impetuous. I'm simply tired of the bandwidth apologists. Data caps are 100% …

sudo reboot

You should learn vim if you want to deal with systems. You can learn vim or not if you don't. lookback: vi, sh and unix have become your vim, bash and linux systems of today. Now, …

I can appreciate the quip, especially given my curmundgeonly entry. But the point remains. The shell needs to be able to call any command on the system reliably. Even aged old coun…

Ok, "garbage" may have been harsh but how about a fun example? Try this with and without -e #!/usr/bin/env bash bell=`tput bel` tock='Blastoff!' do_ring() { if [ "$1" ]; then # tru…

Not to be that guy but this is mostly garbage. I suggest simply paying attention and testing. Switches can be a useful part of the tool but they can break things. It doesn't make t…

I found it distasteful to even click it and I definitely can't stomach a full read. It's extraordinary to me how we so willingly accept policy that directly and negatively affects …

Sorry, I got a little discombobulated with your life in macos is better than unix/linux comment, but only because macos is unix. Thus life is better because macos is unix - unix wi…

But the trolling is a serious problem and more effort needs to go into addressing it directly. This is the stuff that righteous idiots grab a hold of - it's basically an iron buoy …

This actually feels more like what I would expect police work to be like given the situation. They most certainly do not have cause to demand access to swaths of comms no matter wh…

Right, for the masses, but for focused enterprise, like a well resourced gang, for instance, refortifying your security is just another build away. Add on some sneakernet transport…

Is it? You kind of lost me. Isn't the actual issue math?

I can appreciate hn is mostly humor intolerant but these are all basically right on point. The web experience is now akin to walking the mall; loud, expensive, garbage.

I might go so far as to say that our potential for a publicly operated social network is already here, or right close, but is being severely and intentionally hampered by ISPs more…

I suppose, yeah. Maybe that's a valid point in that until we can (want to?) cordon off core social services (for the whole of society) from the reach of private capital then we wil…

Having been peripherally involved with a small handful of that aging crop and their experiences with "security" I'm not sure you're being entirely fair by lumping all their ills to…

One person per lane is generally guaranteed only in competition. You can get your own lane if your pool is lightly loaded but by no means would your lane be off limits to others, n…

I don't know. If they're not going to expense your meals because you're away on official business and chose wrong then I'm not sure I'd be down with that. As for on premise and coo…

I mean, I got 17 out of 21. Subhuman? I see nothing about having to do any of those well, either, so I may human, yet. It's that last one I may have some trouble with. I think I'd …

I can't just let this go by because I'm fearful and hopeful so I'm designing my own scenarios and outcomes for this because I'd rather it end well. This should be a prelude to a bi…

How an individual's data is or is not handled is not pertinent to that individual? That seems an absurd position to take much less impose onto others via some sort of princely dire…

1. That's certainly one way to observe reality. 2. Competition for your otherwise private or your public data sets? 3. Right, because China has bad habits therefore all your data s…

I'm disturbed how "human rights" somehow equates to mandatory acceptance of geo-political agendas. I'm even more disturbed that ""hypocritical and self-serving" and "makes a mocker…

The argument over the semantics of the word cage is a pretty shitty distraction. I mean, can they leave? Are they not incarcerated? Incommunicato? Isn't that an extreme form of imp…

Not sure what your platforms are or what your workflows would be but if you have potentially dozens or hundreds of these and you have some level of deterministic target names and, …
