damm··on Wuhan seafood market may not be source of novel virus spreading globally
Virus's mutate and with how climate change is affecting everything; wouldn't it be tragically ironic if climate change accelerated how fast the common cold (for example) mutates

Great and informative article unlike my comment

damm··on Linus: Don't Use ZFS
His reasons may not be perfect but he's right.

If you use a filesystem that isn't mainline and it breaks it's all on you to figure it out and fix it. Having used experimental filesystems before and been burned I would rather stick with what I know and won't change overnight.

I'll keep an eye open for new filesystems of course but if it's not mainline unless it's for personal hacking no.

> I own several SBC's (Small Board Computer) that do not run mainline kernels. The company that makes them provides their own patched kernel so if it breaks I'm up creek but I know who to bitch at.

damm··on Atom editor still phones home prior to consent dialog
Atom messes up my graphics driver on Linux; so it isn't installed any more.

Example: When i launch atom everything else in KDE disappears I can't see any other apps until I tab over to them. Moving the window in focus fixes it so the screen is back to normal until I launch a new application.

Quitting X and restarting it is the only thing that fixes it.

I liked Atom but like textmate it got forgotten and it will get harder to use over time

damm··on Save .org
If everything is as corrupt as some throwaway states why build a new domain registration system more free and open?

I know it's work however if done right (or better) a .org should be low cost for a NGO and how about a decent non profit tld so they could have it lower cost or free?

Sure it sounds hard but the automation and handling enrolling new domains is the real work

damm··on Tesla laid off my disabled veteran husband then cancelled his sign on bonus
Actually being disabled should give you some protections. Companies are required to work within your disabilities if you are still able to perform your job.

However it's very _COMMON_ for company's to just fire someone who is disabled and hire someone else who can do the job without needing a babysitter.

Most people don't see a problem with this until it's their child; then they will be angry.

Lastly normally when a good company fires you go because of downsizing or problems that employee is given an exit bonus. Sure it might not be a lot; maybe a months salary.

Might not happen for everyone.

Lastly we need to be real about the problem of loosing your job and getting back on your feet. Those of you (like me) who get right back up and get a job the next day or next week... I congratulate you. It's hard.

Those of you who don't understand; you should try having over 100 different jobs before you are 23.

Really fucks with your self esteem.

damm··on My dog was killed on a walk with a walker ordered through Wag
I think this is the problem with social media / networking... it used to be when I was a young kid that if someone wanted t heir dog walked ... you would find someone in your neighborhood that you knew.

Now we use online services and trust people blindly...

As far as the person who lost their dog; I am sorry. I know I did not cause the harm; but it's the only thing I can say.

As a pet owner I would be mortified. I also don't trust anyone with my pets (and they don't trust anyone). So it works out.

damm··on No, you probably shouldn't follow Kelly Clarkson's 'Lectin-Free' diet
She won't live much longer if she continues ... if you don't step off synthroid correctly it can leave you with a lack of adrenaline which can be fatal.

Edit: mix in sleep apnea or something else in combination..

damm··on Ethereum Classic is still being targeted by a 51% attack today
Old news; was reported by Coinbase yesterday.
damm··on Linux Servers Appear Most Affected by IPMI Enabled JungleSec Ransomware Attacks
Some cloud providers got this right; some didn't exactly...

Had a few Hetzner baremetal dell servers with iDrac/IPMI exposed to the world. It did have a good password.

Softlayer/IBM makes me login to a VPN to get into IPMI

(at least for me)

Exposing IPMI on the internet is stupid easy; just as it is stupid. It's the lazyness of hey I need to be able to get into the KVM console and i'm working at home today...

For example.

damm··on Debian's Anti-Harassment Team Is Removing a Package Over Its Name
Yet the decision was made by men; doesn't seem very inclusive does it?

Maybe Debian should remove itself.

damm··on Weboob package removed from Debian
Ah gotta love social justice warriors... someday we're going to have to draw a line on where we throw people (and their ideas) over the bridge just because of 1 or 2 thoughts (or 2 million).

It could be said this package is history and it could be taught that this is offensive and why it's offensive.

So it should stay in the packages; maybe in unofficial sources or something.

damm··on Best hosting 2018?
Well you could use Hetzner if you don't mind it being deployed in Europe.

The amazon hasn't stomped out traditional hosting in any sort of way. Internap can be cheap if you don't mind the contracts; beyond that there's just too many to really list.

Hetzner is just really easy to get small or large servers dedicated for a really cheap price... less than 300 pounds for 24TB of SATA and 4TB of SSD and 128gig of ram.

damm··on Benchmark Comparison with GridDB and MariaDB
Comparing NoSQL to SQL... didn't MongoDB and CouchDB and others do this too .. where are they today?

Right they didn't take over at all. Sure there are companies who use MongoDB ... and then there are companies who have mongodb installed insecurely exposing their data to the world

damm··on Mozilla is going to sell VPN subscriptions within Firefox
What a horrible idea... pocketsync pissed me off enough to rm -rf ...

ProtonVPN ... geeze

damm··on Palm
We've been here before with Palm; is there a reason we should try again or are they going to pull these devices from the market after a few weeks of selling them?

P.S. If it's cheap it's going to break a lot... you know palm the cheaper it is the worse it is

damm··on Rifts Break Open at Facebook Over Kavanaugh Hearing
I am thankful for the rift opening and the employee's pushing back against the usual tactics. (You don't have to work here; don't push your personal political agenda's into the company and make them front stage)

It's a way to dismiss a person in the worst way; saying your opinion doesn't matter.

damm··on iMac Pro and 2018 MacBook Pro Must Pass Diagnostic to Function After Some Repair
Apple has some of the stupidest people who do Apple Repair anyway.

They require you to replace a logic board when a cold solder joint is the problem. Great for Apple; bad for you (because it costs money)

Hope his store survives (and everything in it) damned fires.

damm··on SMTP MTA Strict Transport Security (MTA-STS)
No changes are required in postfix yet? as it's just published expect updates from Postfix and Exim soon.
damm··on SMTP MTA Strict Transport Security (MTA-STS)
All it takes is someone updating the glibc resolver function to handle DoH.

Then update /etc/resolv.conf with your DoH option or old legacy..

... Not a fan of DoH but it doesn't matter if I like it.

damm··on Mozilla is still screwing around with privacy in Firefox
https://telemetry.mozilla.org/

It's open; see what they are collecting.

damm··on A Message from the CEO of Mozilla: You are overqualified
This is a false argument. Wendy's will not hire a SysAdmin who is out of work and needs to feed his family.

Why? They want someone who is going to stay longer than 6 weeks (or 6 months).

Stop using this false argument.

damm··on Ytdl-webserver: Webserver for downloading YouTube videos
Meh; nodejs that uses youtube-dl frontend? why can't I just use youtube-dl?
damm··on RCKT: A beautiful user interface for MySQL
Many have tried; and many will fail.

Trust ia a factor; why should we trust someone with our root credentials?

damm··on Sniffing one's own farts: Moving from GitHub to Gitlab
Be wary of listening to unasked for advice. If you want to move from Github to Gitlab or Sourceforge or whatever you want; that's your own damned decision.

Kinda feel sorry for the person who posted this article because they worry too much about someone who was downvoted on reddit.

Opinions are like assholes; everyone has one. If you want you can listen to their opinion and if you don't like it politely tell them to stop and you are not interested. If they can't handle that; you shouldn't be talking to them.

damm··on Chrome 69: “www.” subdomain missing from URL
Doesn't this make it easier to phish? Seems like it to me.
damm··on Reddit is down; tells me to disable adblock
Search seemed to fail a bit ago on the old.reddit.com and now it's just not returning anything useful.
