Nope. I spoke to the woman who issued us with an account and they just had it built for them.

That was notably one of the best web experiences I’ve used recently. Gov.uk is exceptionally good.

Yes definitely. I was surprised recently as I had to fill in a massive form based site for UK NHS mental health survey stuff. The site appeared as a flat background old style early 2000’s sort of thing with bits of comic sans in it. I nearl

I think “Linux supported” is a vague promise that should not be relied on. I had a T495s which is supported officially on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. And it was quite frankly broken. Closing the lid didn’t work, it drank batteries faster than windows

I totally get that. I did exactly the same. Cost £8 at the time if I remember as well which is a hell of a lot of money for an LED. It was just so different to the yellow, red and green ones. I was buying a bit of the future. But roll on to

Don’t have to talk to people via ham radio. We’ve developed protocols now so you don’t have to :)

Am I the only one using outlook and loving it?

systemd is god now and he’s not benevolent. More lord cthulhu.

Ham radio. The desire to communicate is always there.

I can’t wait to have to debug that in production.

I treat my home network as insecure and use an off the shelf ISP provided router (FritzBox). I have saved hours of my life doing this. I was running various unixy things over the years and suddenly something went snap and I decided not to b

> They're all just tools Wherever tools are used there are tools made of shit. Thus we need to discuss the tools.

Correct. But it’s not going to be pretty.

Worth considering redundancy in that as well. It’s very easy to end up with serious problems if we have even a single failed crop in one season.

Between the horrible centralisation of Linux under red hat, the treatment of centos users, jumping in bed with Microsoft and selling out to IBM, I have no appetite for a round of moral high grounding from a cookie cutter corporate mouthpiec

This is a growing sentiment with the pedophilia scandals and the wealth divide in the UK. I’m on the side of disposing of them.

Figures you have to look at to be scared about in this space is an RTX 3070 can pull 250 watts and the core is 1.2v (I haven’t confirmed this) then the card can be sucking up an average of 200 amps. Which is a lot. Peak currents can be a lo

Not that prick but he’s not far off it. Was a large trade association.

by uncledave 5y ago
Yes something fairly large and well known.

No one has to work with anyone. Walk away. Edit: Wow the brigading in here is worse than Reddit at US sunrise.

I have. He’s less of an asshat than my father. At best my father got called a prick. We didn’t form a consortium of people to cancel him. That’s just batshit crazy.

For me, the undersigned list has now become a shitlist of projects with folk who are more concerned about public image, perception and signalling than engineering. I am quite frankly tired of this. I don’t give a crap what RMS thinks or say

Not a clue. Wasn’t really important though in the scale of things. You only work that out as you get older.

Yeah it’s not abnormal unfortunately. Anywhere that “alpha personalities” are likely to clash is bound to result in some physical clashes. My own experience was getting into a fist fight with someone after I told them to fuck off and open a

I treat AWS like a mainframe. Always remember you’re renting it and make sure you cost an exit plan or persistent payments and you’re fine.

I tend to use caffeinate to wrap scripts only. I want it to go to sleep and stop eating all my electricity when it’s done.

Same here. This still scares me today https://youtu.be/5iZMD_eCpEo

It’s a good question. Perhaps the same is true now with virtualisation.
29.
by uncledave 6y ago
Processes were a form of robust virtualisation once. It’s just pushing the problem down another layer. There are vulnerabilities in virtualisation layers too.

This is the paradise I live in every day. Never used it. I have however had to spent the last hour being asked when it will be back by three teenagers and a wife, none of whom appreciate it is nothing whatsoever to do with me. Grr.
