I found syncthing the most reliable/secure way to do that.
-
That's really amazing. You must have turned it off when the Linux kernel image was written but the initramfs was not.
mkinitcpio can usually fix this too.
Shift keys and caps lock not working is even weirder. Bordering on impossible. -
@dotenvironment I'm also not a native English speaker. It helps taking to people from the United Kingdom. They are very eloquent and creative when it comes to speaking about higher ups.

Caching is easy, invalidation is s bitch.
That is the rule I've always heard.
However there is a second element to it: caching is an attack vector. A lot of people missed that and don't think about it in terms of security. -
@torbuntu trust me it's always an option.
Also please stop using words you don't understand. Especially when you talk to management. The correct word is "lying" and you can add "incompetence" and "negligence" that is destructive to your company.
Leave out basically meaningless hype words like toxic and gaslighting. You will only find like a winey little bitch. If they do anything akin to gaslighting you can add blame shifting. It's clear and everyone knows what is going on instead of stuff that is often wrongly used for anything kids think is bad. -
@3dgoosee Yeah the kidding was clear to me. But there's truth to the joke too so went with a nutral voice of reason.
Funnily enough here I actually get ++ but on Reddit I get voted in the ground for just stating facts. (Like the difference between reflex and normal reaction. Never got so many down votes so fast). -
Storage, entertainment, temperature management in the summer.

Saying it the other way around makes just as little sense. Windows and Linux are different enough that they both have their bitch as weaknesses and fanbase.
Even though I must say that linux itself feels superior to me in stability speed and maintenance. From a developer perspective. -
With all the respect. I can see why this is the default behaviour. VS code and notepad++ do the same (but probably better). It does help in event of a crash or reboot.
Haven't used it yet so the implementation can be dog shit. -
Love the rename of the Avian Identifier.
Other than that I highly suggest you don't solve these problems by sacrificing your time. It will happen again. Because they can't plan and will call great success every time.
Whenever someone clearly isn't capable and tells you it's easy. Let them piece it it's easy. They can use CratGPT or something... -
Yeah completely gave up on that since Windows 7.
Windows 8 even caused 40 min longer downtime because I could not use my laptop during an incident. That was the reverse of this problem with the big updates (basically a full reinstall of the OS). I selected install and shutdown. It did shutdown but only did the prep for the update. So the actual upgrade was happening during the next boot🤦 -
@afaIk most of it seems fine but the immediate emotion usage with useless "announcements" is a huge turnoff for me.
-
You are confusing completely different purpose communication.
Why not add IRC, Slack, discord, and Signal to the list?
I definitely agree there is fragmentation even though you see you need critical mass in the target group to stay relevant. -
Lol you are now getting random advice from strangers that have never seen you and do not know the underlying cause. I would show this to the doc when you visit them so they can see how dangerous it is to just take someone off their meds (any meds) for weeks. Just for validation...

Sleep, GTD, decent timeslots where you really get at it without constant interruptions.

I've designed a db or two in 40 mins. Or is it a complete database engine that is more than kv?
-
Is this like a container orchestration tool?
Kinda miss the actual problem it's trying to solve.
Edit: never mind. Find the idea.md more enlightening. Skip all the marketing bs mate. -
@D-4got10-01 Yep, I've even made it a policy. It's a word people around me can't use. Unless understanding the actual meaning and usage. Hint: This word has nothing to do with behaviour (and to extend culture).
Why am I so strict? Because it's a dumb umbrella term used only to push shit away.
Really easy to say everything is "toxic".
It's at the same level as toddlers using the word "stupid".
So what I want is an actual description of the actual problem; if there is any. Them we could potentially do something about it. -
This is what the print screen button is for.

@kobenz <insert disaster girl meme>
Also lazy... -
Yeah man Apple sucks! Bet you will see this days later on iOs.

🤔To be fair with message signing you could actually make something like this work securely (the challenge can't be the password/secret hash of course but a derived message). Generating the challenge and verifying the response is likely heavier but it does prevent sending the secret/password.
Of course the real benefit of this is that we get to prove everyone wrong and that you can have a "signed boolean" and am "unsigned boolean". -
@D-4got10-01 connection wise that seems sweet. Portability a bit less and for the jack to work the adapter needs the dac/amp. This is often really bad. I've tried some cheap usb-c to mini, while I don't need miracles the static background noise was ruining the music and just annoying to keep headphones in without playing anything. Went with Fiio ka1 that is good but has some issues (short loud "shuck" sound every few seconds) with select phones (including mine) which they finally fixed in the firmware.
This is why I hate this. The best option seems to be buying headphones with a usb-c connector instead of mini-jack. You can't charge and listen at the same time though unless you go for a wireless charger. Basically forcing even more inefficient wireless crap... -
@D-4got10-01 thanks for that one! I miss Jack too. I also think that phones should come with two usb-c ports if you really must omit useful things like a jack.
-
@whimsical I don't get why everything needs to have batteries. It's even hard to find a compressor to inflate tires that doesn't come with a battery.
My dad has one from over 20 years ago. Trust me the battery powered one won't make it past 3 years. Likely two years with irregular charges and poor conditions in the bike shed.
How many more wireless mice, keyboards and worst of all earbuds do we need to go trough in a lifetime? -
That is unfortunate but bit something you can't overcome. If you know the behaviour of the app/service/script you can fairly quickly reimplement the tests correctly.
Start with end to end tests. You should be able to test the thing mostly without exploding the number of test cases.
Only with certain high in logic pieces unit tests pay off. (That is not 100% true but close enough). This will drastically lower the amount of tests while still having high coverage. Unfortunately sometimes e2e tests can be dog shit slow on some platforms. More of an integration test style can help than (while basically trying to test the outside behaviour). -
What are logical tantrums?
-
@Lensflare while JS minification is the extreme and fully agree with the brevity statement I do think single letter variable names are good. The distance of usage is very important here. I'll take single letter "i" over a java style "SkibidyToiletBrushIterationIndex" every time for a close loop. Now on the API that is more distant from the code I want more context.

Brussels is basically all French. The moment you speak Dutch, as proper French fucks they get offended.
-
I don't think it's controversial, I think it's just not true. Different situations require different approaches. I've mixed the to up quite a bit. Had to really push for 1. at times because dumbasses like to use agile as a magic keyword to not think things through and not supply enough info or content to go beyond 2 days of development.
