A$200 per week for being on-call (5am-8:30am weekdays, 9am-5pm weekends and public holidays, three people in the rota). Actually having to do anything just goes into the normal overtime system. For all the extra effort of having an on-call

The data store is just a folder tree of .md text files. You don't even need Obsidian to view them, it just makes navigating the links a little easier.

Why bother? The Venn diagram of people that need a bug-for-bug clone of RHEL and think that the proposed process is in any way appropriate is two seperate circles.

Two things spring to mind: My experience with a YouTube premium trial ended immediately upon being told that I couldn't play music in a second place at the same time. And ad-blocking is part of my security posture. I have plenty of loc

My French is basically inexistant, but are they saying that attempting to protect your privacy is an indication that you might be a terrorist?

Even while businesses promote government policy that looks to treat workers as rich and businesses as poor, they understand (as can be seen by lots of product pricing policies) that businesses are rich and individuals are poor. How many pro

I believe the difference between SA15 (£154,995) and SA16 (£220,000) is a single wealthy individual who's been buying up everything in SA16 to rent.

I nuked my Ubuntu Mate laptop and installed Qubes, just to get a feel for it. It's significantly more maintenance than a vanilla distro, because of all the separated environments, but if I ever wanted to return to Linux on the desktop

I work somewhere that specialises in secondhand enterprise equipment and storage. The answer to your first question is "yes, but they really shouldn't". We're burning more hours than we can spare dealing with drive failu

Maybe I should put some more time into my new Qubes install, plus see what the latest updates to my Pinephone look like.

It's just fashion. It moves around, and you have plenty of options to change it to how you want.

Having recently attempted to move from LastPass to Bitwarden, only to have to abandon it due to sudden changes that broke third party integration without consultation or a sensible solution, I'd say this whole drama on brand.

I used Norton Commander back in the DOS days, but hated the Windows product. I still find myself tossing Midnight Commander onto places I only have a text mode console for. (Great for Windows Core.) My daily file manager now is Directory Op

Lenovo have a problem with their USB C ports. Durability is not good enough for them to be the only source of power. Daily plugging and unplugging breaks them eventually. Accidentally pulling the cable sideways breaks them quickly. We stopp

When the wealthy classes "move" they often don't give up any of the existing locations, they ADD to the places that they have a base. They don't really move, yet they think everyone else should and have no problem saying

Your position implies that there is no way to determine the difference between reputable media and disreputable media; that all stories must be considered with equal weight in the equation that is "the media". I can form an opinio

All these articles about "just moving". Who can afford it? We would lose A$24,890 just on stamp duty - a "tax" that goes to the government based on nothing other than the value of the property that they've been infl

I've set up a spare PC at my mother's place so I can help her out when she needs it (I'm in my late 40s) and still do my work remotely. Her house is half way to my office, so it doesn't cost much time. Unfortunately all
