Looks like a cu​nt to me.

Every team has a QA environment. The fancy ones have a separate production environment.

In most distros shutdown is a symlink to systemctl.

I don’t get what you are angry about. If it is one email before deleting I think that’s pretty reasonable. You could have had some important-to-you conversations that you would be upset to lose.

If they keep sending stuff like this that is one thing. But I appreciate one or maybe two confirmations before someone deletes my data.

Apple is a lot better than Windows but slowly getting worse. They keep pushing their own services more and more aggressively while the quality of their software drops over time. Not to mention that iOS is so locked down that they don’t have to worry about things like pushing Edge because they just don’t allow any other browsers.

Only the poor people.

Reminds me of this page which I can’t believe isn’t a parody: Where to Watch Pokémon Episodes & Movies | Pokemon.com

Oh, right. The OP is wrong it appears and I didn’t think much 😆

2026-06-27 to be unambiguous. (About two hours in the future from time of posting)

Edit: Actually 2026-07-27, OP has the wrong date.

To drive this point home, even if there are smaller alternatives voting for them is actively harmful in first-past-the-post elections because you are effectively giving an advantage to the party that you are least aligned with. (Look up the the “spoiler effect”.)

So in most countries the logical voting strategy is to vote for whichever of the two most popular parties you favour, even if the reason is just that they are marginally better than the alternative.

declaring multiple variables is less error-prone than in C. In C, the following declares x to be a pointer, but (surprisingly at first!) y to be a normal integer:

int* x, y;

Whereas the equivalent in Go does what you’d expect, declaring both to be pointers:

var x, y *int

I don’t think this is a related at all. C could have easily decided that the definition makes both x and y pointers. They just decided not to so that you can declare more variables on one line by being able to do int x, *y, **z, .... It is more flexible.

Similarly that Go line could have been parsed like var x, (y*) int if they wanted to. They just made a different choice.

Trump doesn’t appear to care much about the law.

This advice feels like “Have you moved to the surface of the sun? Make sure to drink lots of water.” It’s not wrong, but also not particularly helpful. The only solution is to stop buying these things. Ideally take them back and get a refund if it isn’t too late.

Not just the first hit in general but this also sounds likely to be a bait-and-switch. They will roll with that free 1TiB as long as they can for marketing and market capture. They have a few profit streams (ads, whales on bigger plans) to help cover those marketing costs. But most likely they will not be profitable and eventually will reduce/remove the free plan and try to upgrade as many users as possible to the paid plan (reducing costs and increasing revenue in one go).

Generally speaking it will be fine. SSH will also refuse keys with open permissions so you would notice if it was wide-open to other users of the device.

But you know if you are running random code or AI harnesses as that user it can be at risk. Or if you copy around the key all over the place it is more likely to leak. But generally speaking you are secure by default, just don’t do something dumb with the key and you’ll have no problems.

It sounds pretty reasonable. As long as you keep SSH patched and keep the key safe it should be quite locked down. Do double-check that password login isn’t allowed (or that all users have a very strong password).

One non-security note is be careful with rsync backup. Generally rsync isn’t considered a backup as any mistakes made in the source will be propagated to the “backup” on next sync. Although there are ways to use rsync to take good backups (like copying to a new directory for each backup).

Why only streaming services? Why not target the volume of any ads within content that contains audio? While we are at it why not say that the add can’t be significantly more bright?

I built Chibichange to have a way to conveniently deliver changelogs to Dawarich users

Have you considered just posting a changelog to your blog? That would be much more convenient than every app I run pinging me in its own way by phoning home to its server.

It does say “I agree to pay the above total amount” so it is pretty clear.
