If we're going to criticize this, can we discuss reasons for why this reductive method might be faulty?

A lot of remote FTE contracts I've come across not only demand your updated address during the duration of your employment, but also for 3 or so years after.

I think this is the wrong time to be judging remote work. It's being used out of necessity during one of the most stressful and anxious times in this generation's history. Of cours…

The problem with this I found for home use is that IoT devices don't typically support enterprise modes. And without PSK you just flat-out can't use those devices with WiFi

Unfortunately paying doesn't alone incentivize data privacy, when those same companies you're paying realize they can also increase profits my monetizing your data or everyone's da…

Re: forgotten context I use Firefox's tag feature for this, helps you give a one or two or three word context like: linux, firewall, iptables or devops, cicd

"If you don't ship it you can't sell it." Now tell that to any sales team and they'll tell you to hold their beer. The problem is, now they've sold your vaporware and you _reallly_…

Hardware video decoding does not work in linux period. It doesn't matter whether you play an mp4 or vp9 video.

There is some truth to the fact that (if you basically already know dd like I do) then reserving it for dangerous operations is a good way to "signal" to yourself "slow down here a…

I learned Linux this way a decade and a half ago when it was far (and still is imho!) more convenient to quickly search a man page than google something. (with slow internet start …

So then its probably a pretty good idea to randomize the number keypad for the lock screen, which I do. Does this defeat that, I can't think of a way it does..

Or you get TVs that last a lot less ;)

Nothing to hide, huh

Trebuchet is really nice

Thankfully we now have a vibrant open source community to take the burden of pioneering, no startups necessary

Yeah sure, they all steal your personal information. One of the reasons I forbid myself from ever signing something there. I very much want to voice my opinion not to touch my xul …

Or I don't know, at least checking they exist

Can you explain the significance of that
