between the comments pointing out numerous serious security issues and those who point out poor code quality or phoning home to china, the comment i am replying to feels strongly like astroturfing

Not only is there not much pressure, it's actually more difficult as Swedes are generally happy to speak English and will often switch as soon as your accent gives you away as a foreigner. After 15 years living here I am now fluent, it was a challenge though!

I was about to gloat, as it's so cheap to buy, I thought it was a good opportunity to test Steam proton by selecting "enforce compatibility" which so far has worked for everything I threw at it (CIV V, hitman absolution, bunch of other obscure windows only titles).

Initially happy as the install and intro ran fine, but pressing enter to skip the video exits the game immediately.

Maybe that's further than you would expect, wine / proton is incredibly good nowadays, but still your point stands.

Works fine for me, firefox on ubuntu (not installed with snap). I use ublock origin and it seems to have blocked a few external url's on that page so probably it's some bad js slowing you down.

If i understand your description of what you do correctly, then clicking the email links in incognito mode does not help you in any way. The long weird url is almost always a tracking link unique to the specific email that you received. Clicking it verifies that you received and read the email sent you your email adress, no matter where you click it

Neutrons are not massless. They are neutral in charge but have a mass greater than protons.

"embrace it" is easy to say for someone that doesn't have a head shaped like Kryten from Red Dwarf

me Monday morning:

:later 8h

One can dream...

Actually networking and ssh come up for a couple of seconds before containerd triggers the kernel panic so you can fix it by doing this:

while true; do ssh <servername> sudo mv /usr/bin/containerd /usr/bin/containerd.backup ; sleep 1; done

While rebooting the system

This was exceptionally annoying for me, some ec2 instances are used only during the day and we stop/start them with an in house scheduling application outside office hours. Also automatic security upgrades are enabled. Came in to work one day last week and all of our UAT environment was down.

It is possible to ssh in for about 2 seconds before the kernel panic so I solved it by doing this:

while true; do ssh <servername> sudo mv /usr/bin/containerd /usr/bin/containerd.backup ; sleep 1; done

On the next reboot i was able to ssh in and change to the (then just released within the past hour) kernel that doesn't have this stupid bug. After another reboot you can move containderd back and it should be working again

from what i have been told by family who work in the fishing industry, catching only the fish over a certain size is often a missguided and damaging policy not founded im science. Mature fish can reproduce regularly with the expectation that the vast majority of their young will not survive to sexual maturity, by taking only those fish you are removing the source of new fish. Better to throw back the big ones.

t14s here (ubuntu), there was a bios update that solved the suspend battery drain issue, same with the dock as there was updates for that too that can be installed with fwupdmgr. Disabled Bios power management to allow the OS to control it and really it's pretty flawless.

I love my thinkpad t14s, it's fast and quiet and all hardware works (even lte, although does admitedly require an alpha driver, it works fine)

about 20 years ago I was using the kde application Ktouch to learn touch typing.. it was highly effective compared to the competition of the time. Give it a try!

Snowcrash is where i would begin (where i did begin). It was some years ago now so i don't really remember why I hated cryptonomicon but I did, iirc, the plot jumped around all the time, I couldn't care about the protagonists. Am I remembering correctly that the whole plot ultimately revolved around a large stash of gold?

Grafana labs seems like a company worth supporting, great products, agpl code, good community involvement. I help in their slack sometimes, I like their business model.

excellent, i have been detatched from the windows desktop world for so long i had no idea they had managed to catch up like this, assuming it works smoothly it seems pretty cool, thanks!

Great, what's it called? I will forward the link to the dev team in question :)

When i share my Linux desktop in a Teams call with developers and they see how I can run multiple ssh sessions in tmux running in a drop down Tilda terminal, connecting to 5 or 6 servers and running commands within a few seconds, and then those same developers try to do the same on windows, using mobaxterm and they get lost in sub menu hell and modal prompts i just cry a little inside. so much time wasted clicking through pointless menus, not just theirs but everyone in the meeting

I would love to review Joe's material to be able to provide a more thorough response, but I can't afford the 100s dollars he charges.

I didn't suggest that anyone involved was an actor, I'm quite sure they are not in fact. I do believe that these people are easily manipulated however and that people like Joe Dispenza take advantage of this to earn fame and fortune. For every 100 people that we see who appear to benefit from the lifestyle changes they implement because of this guys "science" (and those changes may well be benefitial!), there may be another 1000 who don't get real treatment and suffer unnecessarily due to believing this quackery.

It is an understudied / ignored field for the same reason prayer isn't studied for it's ability to cure disease.

A quote from one of the testimonial videos you linked me to:

"It's really hard to talk about because not a lot of people can relate to quantum healing ... " This makes sense.

If you believe in this, and it helps you, good for you. You should not try to present it as something deserving of scientific backing however.

"Ignore the self-proclaimed "skeptics" with knee-jerk reactions to the decorum, and to Joe Dispenza's credentials. He strikes me as sincere and the testimonials are definitely legit"

Why should we ignore the "skeptics" but not the unattributed "testimonials". Joe Dispenza is a quack, voodoo conspiracy theorist, who seems to border line lie about his credentials.

"The placebo has had profound healing effects on many people. But, do we really need the pill if the healing power is within us? Dr. Joe Dispenza delves into the depths of the mind to reveal the connection between belief, perception, energy fields and the mystery of the placebo."

Ok.. energy fields.. got it.. I will file that right next to perpetual motion machines.

grafana is agplv3 but grafana the company has a deal with amazon to grant them a special licence

Sadly it seems to be unmaintained, or at least under maintained. I was going to open am issue for missing Firefox mobile support but issues seem to be going un answered

i was grateful for the 1.75x speed option on the video!

Atlassian cancelled their self hosted server version of confluence and jira forcing many to their cloud product so I seriously hope it's not also vulnerable. Atlassian products are quite bloated, kinda nail biting having so much corporate secret info in such a product.

Having worked in Operations in some form or another for the past ~20 years this articulates so well the feelings I have been increasingly having over the past few of those 20 years. Now I manage a small operations team and we experience pretty much all of the issues highlighted in the article.

There needs to be a rethink of how infrastructure, development and deployment is handled.. maybe the solution is to slow things down and insert a little carefully thought out bureaucracy between the layers (can't believe I'm advocating for more bureaucracy!)

my only experience of canonical the company was when one of their technical consultants showed up to a meeting, opened his laptop and it was running windows. Bit disappointing really! Was a few years ago tho

To be more clear, installing it and getting logs into the system is a piece of cake, getting useful information beyond the basics is more complicated and in my experience not as straight forward as elk stack. Kind of the exact opposite of elk in fact

Started using Grafana Loki recently, so far it seems very good at consuming all the various log formats you might encounter and you can parse them into metrics etc as needed using regular expressions. Much nicer than dumping everything on a central syslog. My only "gripe" is the high learning curve compared to say elk stack.

I was in India ~10 years ago, upon entering the airport i was shocked to see smoke everywhere and assumed there had been some kind of fire. Nope, i was seeing the air, i could see the normal air inside the airport terminal. Pollution is a huge problem in Delhi which surely contributes to bad covid outcomes.
