Strongspace still exists and is still hosting the VC storage accounts which Joyent shed (or at least, I think so... parts of their site seem to be dead).

ExpanDrive's "Cloud drive client software" is also well worth looking into.

> You should have come to me for help, like I advised you. Nevertheless, lets look at how you can solve your problem now

So in the end you _still_ have to deal with the mess they made? And you further enable their behaviour by both making it your problem to solve and fixing it?

This approach only works if the other person is interested in improving - and if they were, they would ask for help in the first place.

I think this has already been done by Jr [1].

And for other markup languages, e.g. Dr [2] for AsciiDoc.

Works fine for me on Manjaro using wireguard-dkms and the Wireguard app from the F-Droid store.

Copying public keys back and forth via email seemed a bit of a faff so there's probably a better way. Possibly using `qrencode` would let you set up the client configuration...

Include every possible bug?

An opt-in is required under GDPR for personally identifiable information, not "any data ever".

Anonymous/aggregated data collection is allowed under the GDPR, though this data collection should still be made clear to the user (and it is on https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/supporting/FAQ#_gdpr-and-...).

It appears the author is trying to assign two variables to a single result, essentially,

    my (@a, @b) = ["resulting", "string"]

Hence @b has no assigned value.

The Perl Beginners list is also a good place for this sort of discussion, https://lists.perl.org/list/beginners.html

Or,

> hardware quality & support > hardware support > drivers

These aren't Linux issues, they're hardware issues. Pick up a decent-quality laptop which lots of developers use and support is rock-solid. Pick up a cheapo Win10 plastic thing, and yes, nothing will run great on that.

When running Percona under systemd the EPYC system was getting 24% _more_ throughput.

I, too, read the article incorrectly the first time round. What it's saying is that for an EPYC CPU, performance under systemd is _better_. For a Xeon CPU, performance under systemd is _worse_.

So, the EPYC's architectural differences won't explain why an EPYC CPU runs slower under systemd, because it's the opposite.

Why are distros packaging from PyPI and not from the upstream project?

> It seems possible the commenter on the oss-security mailing list is not aware of this strategy and is giving more weight to openBSD's patch than it deserves (and perhaps wrongly implying openBSD have disrespected the embargo as a sideffect).

This sort of thing regularly happens. I remember an incident relatively recently when someone inaccurately "pointed out" that Arch Linux had "broken" an embargo by packaging an upstream release [1].

If I'm reading that right,

"I want a hosted service which is free-libre and free-beer, and don't want the provider to charge or be acquired by a company, and don't want to do anything other than consume their service."

How exactly is that a sustainable model?

I thought it was impossible to prove a negative, generally?

Yes. It has its nickname for a reason.

Anything that lowers the friction for people who want to donate can only be a good thing.

Has anyone found a _good_ way to maintain documentation?

If this is to be taken at face-value I'd view it as "poor show" on Canonical's part. An offer of employment was made and later rescinded. However, while a "provisional" offer might seem unusual, from a UK-perspective it would normally be down to things like eligiblity-to-work, ID checks, and references (a "provisional offer based on satisfactory references" is quite normal).

I'm not sure if the author would say, or know, the reason _why_ the offer was rescinded, but, on face-value, it presents Canonical's HR and recruitment process quite poorly.

On the other hand, if Canonical requested and could not get references, or references were negative, the offer would quite understandably be withdrawn.

From the article, all we know is that Canonical advertised a position, the author was provisionally offered the position, then Canonical withdrew the provisional offer.

But Reason is already version 9?

(I know there's going to be some overlap between project naming, but Reason is a fairly well-known product...)

Given there are two prompts that the document is trying to do something "different", and the second tells you explicitly it's trying to run an executable and provides a path, is this realistically exploitable?

And don't forget wireguard [1]. I'd argue that's even _more_ awesome. :)

Just for info, the new typeface is Reith Sans.

font-family: ReithSans,Arial,Helvetica,freesans,sans-serif;

And IMHO it looks lovely. :)

That doesn't really answer the question - no static site generator {that I know of} is WYSIWYG in the same way as Wordpress. Yes, you can train people how to use a generator, but compared to a dynamic CMS they have a _much_ steeper learning curve {based on my experience training people about web publishing}.

The closest I've seen is using Sandstorm with their static Wordpress site publishing but it's still nowhere near as smooth as plain Wordpress.

(Edit: let's add some qualification because downvoting)

This happens with books too, though in these cases it can be more difficult to spot beforehand (e.g. 20-30% off a cover price isn't too unusual). However, if the seller has _every_ book listed for the same price, something is very obviously wrong.

From those I've seen, it looks as though old and/or inactive accounts have been compromised. These have a decent history, possibly even a positive feedback rating, but no activity in (e.g.) the past 12 months.

I assure you it's not. :)

Why? What's "good" vs what's "bad"?
