@major I'd say because you're describing where an event takes place, not where a thing is. For example, if you said "a fourth of all my funds are in banks" you would use "estΓ‘n" because that's where they are located. But since a robbery isn't a thing that you keep in a bank, you would use "son." I would use "se ocurren" because even in English "happen in banks" sounds better than "are in banks".

KnowBe4 hired a software engineer. As soon as they received their laptop the SOC light up like a christmas tree because of the malware it was loading up.

Working with Mandian and the FBI, it turned out it was a fake IT worker from N. Korea.

@jason It *just* started working for me, so it's probably some kind of cache invalidation issue?

It's not the certificate itself -- the part that is failing is the OCSP response: - Curl error (91): SSL server certificate status verification FAILED for https://cdn.redhat.com/... [OCSP response has expired]

Yeah, https://cdn.redhat.com/ returning a TLS error is exactly what I needed right now. blobcateyeroll

@trini @monsieuricon You can `shazam -SH` and then manually merge FETCH_HEAD.

I'm not an expert on the "electoral college" system, but I believe this is when Russian troll farms are trying to make sure Trump wins, while Chinese troll farms are trying to make sure that Trump loses.

@yassie_j@labyrinth.zone Officially, we tell everyone we use metric, but in reality you need to refer to the Canadian Measurement Flowchart

Rarely have I nodded this much when reading an analysis of the systematic failure of the tech industry and our "market system" as a whole.
The unending need to cut cost (at all cost) to improve "metrics" that have nothing to do with creating sustainable, quality results... Yeah, it's bleak. It's terrifying.

You all think I'm exaggerating, but I distinctly recall ending all sentences with ".<Ctrl-S>" when typing assignments because there was always a high chance of Windows crashing mid-paragraph.

Millions of linux users around the world had their productivity crippled by as they all rushed to read the news, post hot takes & dad jokes to their Mastodon feed.

@kuoirad Hah! I used whatever the college had, and that was Windows 95. :)

I didn't start with Linux until I installed Red Hat 5.1 some time in '97. I remember running "vi" for the first time, then yelling for a while in frustration as everything I tried just beeped at me, and then hitting the "reset" button.

@theron29 maybe, but didn't you have to run two computers just so you could have a single whole OS?

Kids these days! Back in '95, we got a Windows Blue Screen of Death 5-10 times a day, and that was on a *good* day.
