Made me think of this Irish toast:

“Here’s to a long life, and a merry one
A quick death, and an easy one
A pretty girl, and an honest one
A cold beer - and another one”

My local newspaper stopped doing April Fools in 2017 due to the problem of fake news and discussions about media’s credibility.

Not where I work. My thinkpad is managed by the understaffed IT department, and is severely crippled by clownstrike and other garbage and bloatware. Linux is not allowed, only windows.

But my colleagues who chose a MacBook don’t have all that crap because said IT department haven’t figured out how to remotely manage Macs yet…

No, it’s a concentration ranch! Totally different.

It should be possible to download the audio files directly from archive.org, using a browser.

You should also say/yell “I do not consent!”, because it’s illegal to search or arrest someone without their consent. It was a popular spell a few years ago, but I don’t see it being used much anymore, so it’s possible that the cops have found a counterspell. 😉

Not an expert, but the only thing I can imagine is that it’s related to certificates or keypairs used for encrypted communication / authentication. Afaik ssl certificates can be issued to a given company, for example, and might become invalid when that company no longer exists. Or it becomes impossible to issue new ones.

Something in that vein, maybe.

Had a similar thing at work not long ago.

A newly deployed version of a component in our system was only partially working, and the failures seemed to be random. It’s a distributed system, so the error could be in many places. After reading the logs for a while I realized that only some messages were coming through (via a message queue) to this component, which made no sense. The old version (on a different server) had been stopped, I had verified it myself days earlier.

Turns out that the server with the old version had been rebooted in the meantime, therefore the old component had started running again, and was listening to the same message queue! So it was fairly random which one actually received each message in the queue 😂

Problem solved by stopping the old container again and removing it completely so it wouldn’t start again at the next boot.

What an amazing businessman!

You can self-host Bitwarden, and sync your vault to your phone. Maybe not an option for everyone since it requires some technical skills, but very doable.

Oh yeah, I was there for that! Good times! 😂

If you want to make your playbooks/roles more universal, there’s a generic package module which will figure out what package manager to use based on the detected OS.

Or, if that doesn’t fit your needs, you can add conditions to tasks (or blocks of tasks), like

when: ansible_os_family == "Debian"

and use that for tasks specific to a given Linux distro/family.

Ansible will detect a lot of info about each host and make it available as facts. See for example https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/playbook_guide/playbooks_vars_facts.html

How appropriate, you fight like a cow!

I believe it was more like: a guy was accused of cheating (against Magnus Carlsen), and anarchychess on reddit came up with the buttplug theory. Now everyone thinks it actually happened.

There are many ways in. Sometimes no one has to click on or do anything, instead the attacker finds a security vulnerability in e.g. a web application, which gives them access to the server the app is running on. From there the attacker can look for other vulnerabilities to penetrate further into the network. Or if the system/network admin hasn’t properly configured/secured the network, then the attacker can easily move into other parts of the network.

No, you give the AIO container access to your docker daemon and it will create / handle / supervise all the other containers nextcloud needs.

No, this guy at least isn’t speaking Norwegian. Sounds more like Finnish.

You are probably thinking of apetor, who made some crazy videos, often involving vodka and swimming in icy waters. He was Norwegian and died a few years ago. I don’t think this is him though.

I tried Volumio recently, and was prepared to maybe get the paid version if it was as great as it seemed. But the user interface was so god-awful! Absolutely unusable for me. Would never pay for it.

Instead I googled a bit and found Moode - a million times better, and free. Don’t remember if it does multiroom audio, but personally I don’t need that currently.
