I use apt, but you don’t have to, instead you can use any package manager from any distribution and use that distribution within the container.

If an application isn’t packaged, you can use the same mechanism to compile from source.

IMHO, if it’s not packaged and you can’t compile from source, it’s time to look for a different application.

This website doesn’t load in my browser.

I use Docker and apt instead. The definition of an application lives in a single text file and you don’t give it anymore resources or permissions than it needs.

So much so, that I wrote a bunch of scripts to make life easier, without ever needing to go anywhere near appimage, flatpak or snap.

14,000 sounds like a big number, until you realise that there’s many millions of routers. Asus is not known for backbone routing, so while this might be happening, you have to ask yourself, is this the biggest threat across the internet, or is this article intended to serve another interest?

New Yaris Cross, base model, drive away price we paid, $36k.

When we were forced to replace our 2010 Holden Cruze, we discussed at length if we should go EV or HEV.

The single biggest hurdle was that with an EV we could not drive from Perth to Dunsborough without multiple recharge delays, let alone Perth to Geraldton.

We went with a HEV and our city driving fuel consumption is less than 4 L per 100 km. The fuel tank capacity is about half what the Cruze has and the fuel consumption about a third.

We figured that if we need to replace this, we’d revisit the EV vs HEV decision, but I see little evidence that long distance driving in Western Australia is catered for in the current network or vehicle offerings.

I am not convinced that the push to EV will happen until there’s significant changes to these issues and with it, political interest, from politicians, not the general public, to actually embrace renewable resources, rather than continually push fossil fuel projects like they’re currently doing.

At first glance IP address or URL, embedded in HTML, whatever it is, it’s a doozy. I wonder what the performance of it is like.

Not to my recollection. I mainly hung out on the comp.* and alt.best.of.internet groups. Together with another member we wrote the original aboi FAQ.

Edit:

Here’s something I wrote about it on another platform:

I’ve been looking for my first Usenet post in 1990, found a few close to the first, but not (yet) the first.

I would not be surprised if there are older posts predating the internet, stored on the Hobby Computer Club FIDO mirrors … assuming that they are still in existence.

While the topic is important, the absurd number of em-dashes in that article leads me to discard it out of hand as Assumed Intelligence slop … which is unfortunate since the premise is interesting.

There’s no simple answer to that question.

And how will Instagram know who my parents are?

Regardless of how or why it failed, the constitution and the society it represented, failed to secure the continued existence of the country.

A constitution is not the only way to form a country and the two examples you gave both ended up with a despot in charge.

Yes.

However, the country that OP is discussing ceased to exist and thus its founding documents are pretty much irrelevant.

I am attempting to point out that a document that you’re holding up as an ideal, together with what it represents and how society surrounding it was structured did not last for more than 55 years, which is less time than I’ve been on this planet.

While it might represent something that you find appealing or inspiring, it didn’t last, or said differently, it failed.

I’d also point out that countries like Australia don’t have a constitution at all and they’ve lasted longer than that.

I think that you need to find a better argument to promote a worker based economy. Perhaps the co-op based system in Italy, which has lasted longer, is a more sustainable way to go.

You fail to understand that the USSR ceased to exist. What remains is run by a despot, regardless of your feelings or intent.

I’ve been self employed for over 25 years as an ICT professional, writing software, troubleshooting, training, doing research, data analysis, designing databases, reverse engineering code, writing reports, helping startups, installing satellite communications, rescuing ransomware victims, building Arctic capable GPS trackers, doing events, public speaking, voice overs and plenty more.

It’s a tough gig with lots of ups and downs. You have to be extremely self motivated and persistent. Work comes and goes. Sometimes you’re so busy that there’s not enough hours in the day, other times you have nothing coming in for weeks, months or even years. If you have a holiday, everything costs twice as much because you’re spending money while not earning any, and if you’re not earning enough, there’s no holiday pay, sick leave or retirement funds.

I’ve seen some interesting and scary software in production and met and worked with an utterly amazing variety of humanity.

It’s not for everyone and if you asked me today if I’m better off mentally, physically and financially as a result of this, I’d be hard pressed to give you an answer.

… and both countries are run by despots.
