It has actually improved a lot since then. The UI has had changes, search is better, it has quote posts now. More usability enhancements are under active development.

They pivoted from pure BEV to bet their future on Hydrogen FCEV trucks. They were a flop and that's what sunk them IMO.

It's not stalled. Ok it's not growing at the crazy rate that hit when news of the Musk twitter takeover broke. That's not a bad thing as the infrastructure couldn't sustain it, but it is growing. I'm following @mast

My biggest anxiety with hardware-backed security is what happens if someone breaks into my house and steals my laptop and phone. Today I would buy a new laptop, login to Bitwarden using my strong memorised master password and carry on. If e

I live in Northern Ireland (also part of the UK) and we're very well served here too. I switched from copper to fibre about a month back. Could have gone 1Gb but chose a cheaper 500Gb DOWN / 75Mb UP package (no data limits) as I d

And? If you don't trust TLS then I assume you don't trust web banking, or purchasing anything over the internet for that matter. Might as well give up on technology and go find yourself a nice quiet pastoral life.

Like most of your replies, the UK is the same. Its everywhere here.

ChromeOS runs Debian in an LXD container. You can install desktop apps in it (e.g. using Flatpak) and they appear as launchable icons on the ChromeOS desktop. Being LXD you're not just limited to one container either. I have additiona

Maybe there was some content on mastodon.social they didn't like. As they don't integrate with ActivityPub they can't block individual users so perhaps they chose to block the whole domain instead. It's not like they&#x2

"cotton bags should be used 131 times" And? Most of the reusable bags in my house are 3-5 years old. We even have a couple that we brought with us when we moved home 11 years ago. Using them hundreds of times is the whole point.

I've never understood how links can fall victim to copyright. A link is just a signpost instructing your browser where to go next. There is no copying involved, anywhere. Subjugating links with copyright law is morphing reality into fa

Depends what you want to do. If you're happy for changes to dribble in over time then size your puppetmaster pool to how many hosts you want to be able to run puppet simultaneously and stagger client execution to avoid a stampeding her

How secure is E2EE anyway when, like WhatsApp, it's implemented such that you blindly trust a 3rd party to distribute the public keys and instruct your client who it should be encrypting and sending your messages to? How do you know y

They have a point. We used to use Hipchat until Atlassian retired it. We took a good look at Slack, negotiating over the price. In the end the decision was made to use Teams as we were already paying for Office, so effectively it was free.

There used to be a lot more information in binaries in general. These days everything is stripped. Giving my age away here :)

There will probably be booster shots later to protect against variants like this. In the meantime, Lambda is not getting a foothold where Delta is common. The more transmissible Delta variant appears to be squeezing it out.

Understand. Did some quick tests myself and see what you mean. Here's a version that doesn't use "here string" and so doesn't create temporary files. #!/bin/bash shopt -s lastpipe string="Lo

It's the read/readarray builtin that's creating the tmpfiles and that's not great, but the string substitution doesn't. My point was there's no need to call out to another program to do something that bash is c

If you have newlines present then process the data a line at a time, as you would if reading from a file. This is nowhere near as difficult or cumbersome as you're making out.

The long rebuttal from bgoldst fails to answer the question of how to solve this "in bash" when he introduces additional commands like tr(1) and sed(1). You should avoid using additional programs to perform actions where bash buil

AlmaLinux are also publishing Errata. That's not something we enjoyed with CentOS and I don't think Rocky have any plans to do this currently.

I tried this recently for the first time using Elements and have struggled with it. There's no message threading, so it's very hard to discover the history and flow of a subject when it's embedded in a larger conversation. I&

Linux on Chromebooks is Debian buster running in an LXD container. Being LXD there's no reason why you're limited to just one container either. I don't like to mess around with the default "penguin" container too mu

If you need history then still put them on a web server and increment the filenames. Storing large files in a git repo is a misappropriation of the tool. It wasn't designed for that use case.

I switched from Samsung to Pixel for the same reasons. Samsung's additional bloatware and their penchant for installing new things I didn't ask for drove me nuts.

Similar situation to yourself except we already have some Ubuntu as well. Decision is yet to be made. Ubuntu is a viable alternative and just as capable as CentOS if not more so these days. Snap is there in case what you're looking for
