And a developer with admin rights will never admit that they’ll quit on short notice in a few months, leaving hard to support snowflakes, each based on the latest cool fad at the time of writing.

Both k8s and aws native services can be chaotic and snowflaky… An organization should be working to standardize the tech stack and deployment tooling across teams as much as possible.

K8S is an opportunity to standardize, but the potential is often not realised. Platform Engineering is now the latest kid on the block, trying to address the next layer of challenges. We’ll see how this looks in a few years…

What do you have against the project and the people behind it? It sounds personal.

There are plenty of non-commercial Linux distributions. Some managed better than others. Some generic, some with niches. OpenWRT is a favourite of mine.

They could. The protocol also supports IP spoofing, so doxing could also be a thing.

For individuals, it is a time consuming and costly legal process, whether justified or not. For the law firm, it costs a few cents per letter, but they get a few hundred (or more) euros when some sucker pays.

In Germany and no doubt some other countries, private law firms can (on behalf of the copyright holders) request people’s identity based on residential IP addresses and then send extortionist legal threats. Apparently an IP appearing on a public tracker can be enough to trigger it, without any confirmed data transfer.

VPNs are common and usually sufficient.

Neither one of the two links seem to support your two claims. I gave you the benefit of the doubt by assuming you pasted the wrong link(s). shrug.

Fix your link

Mandatory coat check-ins, here we come!

The cops won’t actually do anything, but you will have a case #. Theft is a crime, and crime should be reported.

She is just on someone else’s payroll.

With apparmor, you could enable and disable profiles that could restrict access to files and paths by name.

For network traffic, it’s possible to use dnsmasq to blacklist or whitelist some domains.

I would expect that the military & intelligence services engage in due diligence and risk analysis, though.

What the public gets is signalling at best, to set expectations without causing panic. I’d take it seriously when it’s coming from a trusted government.

It’s a trait of sociopathy (psychopathy?), I think. One tends to align oneself with the views of the other person (aka lying). And to survive a demanding role that requires one to form and hold and justify one’s own opinions, he probably takes the lazy route and keeps the last persona until his next mental reset.

He is an imposter in his own mind, and we know it.

Fake it 'til you make it… or not, whatever.

Heh. Tax returns and music should have been the giveaways, although I know someone who takes great satisfaction in taking every tax deduction they legally can, down to the last cent. :-P

TV and games sure, but embrace music - (try to) learn to play an instrument, and you will appreciate listening so much more!

“Cringe!” seems appropriate.

I use labwc … it’s basically OpenBox as a Wayland Compositor. Some things/programs work better than Hyprland, other things worse. No animations - just get out of your way functionality.

I found a patch that allows manual tiling and focus (eg. alt-tabbing just for windows in the left half of the screen), which is cool.

Scriptability isn’t there, but the code looks pretty clean.

The config file is similar to OpenBox. I miss multi-layer keybindings though.

Another technique that helps is to limit the amount of information shared with clients to need to know info. This can be computationally intensive server-side and hard to get right … but it can help in many cases. There are evolving techniques to do this.

In FPS games, there can also be streaming input validation. eg. Accurate fire requires the right sequence of events and/or is used for cheat detection. At the point where cheats have to emulate human behaviour, with human-like reaction times, the value of cheating drops.

That’s the advanced stuff. Many games don’t even check whether people are running around out of bounds, flying through the air etc. Known bugs and map exploits don’t get fixed for years.

ALSA is lowest level, and is the kernel interface to audio hardware. Pipewire provides a userspace service to share limited hardware.

Try setting “export PIPEWIRE_LATENCY=2048/48000” before running an audio producing application (from the same shell).

Distortion can sometimes be related to the audio buffers not getting filled in time, so increasing the buffering as above gives it more time to even out. You can try 1024 instead of 2048 too.

There is no doubt a way to set it globally, if it helps.

Good luck!

Gosh darn. Thank you!
