@lkundrak I guess I could have copy-pasted that "Actually, what you call Linux" diatribe as response, but that would have been outright snarky.

I know, I know, I'm trolling, but if call yourself a "Senior IT Security Engineer," you really shouldn't be emailing helpdesk with such questions.

My attention has been drawn to this packaging design from HP, which presumably someone approved.

My umpire wrist guard had too much velcro, so I got a patch to go on it.

Happy Pride!

@SRAZKVT There are two wolves at the heart of this problem -- one is a quest to remain decentralized and resilient to single-points-of-failure, and another an effort to lower the barrier for entry. It is super difficult to get any sort of yin-yang balance here, unfortunately.

That said, have you looked at https://b4.docs.kernel.org/en/latest/contributor/overview.html ?

2 days into what was supposed to be a straightforward refactor to simplify "b4 trailers -u".

Tired: This meeting could have been an email.

Wired: This startup could have been a spreadsheet.

All sound roughly the same, but are all dramatically different kinds of encounters.

@doti I almost wouldn't mind if they also didn't lock you out of your account. I don't want my access to a critical bit of infrastructure being dependent on email delivery problems.

We investigated performance degradation due to excessive crawling of Codeberg.

We often trace back such things to company websites that proudly list their key investors - but don't actually explain what they are doing (or why they need to crawl Codeberg more excessively than the crawlers of the major search engines combined).

It's probably not a use case we believe in anyway, so we blocked several large IP ranges today.

There is a twist to this story where the password reset email never arrives, so we are locked out of a critically important account.

Vendor: "use a strong password and set up 2-factor auth to protect your account"
Me: "great, thank you"
Vendor: "your password has expired, we sent you a reset link by email"

Hello people of the US, Germany here.

We have a bit of experience with a convicted felon and radical right-wing extremist becoming leader of our country.

Our advice: Don't do it.

@pavel What is "made up?" Most of the felony convictions are for possession of marijuana, which I consider "made up." It is *for sure* used as a convenient way to disenfranchise black voters.

So, in my eyes we either allow felons to participate in the electoral process both to elect and to be elected, or we allow neither.

@pavel Umm... "people with felony convictions account for 8 % of all adults and 33 % of the African American adult male population."
