  • have you tried to setup sendmail on a machine lately?

    No, that's what postfix is for.

  • It's $500/blade/yr for 10 years of security updates for unlimited VMs. Hard to beat, even with the recent price increase (I think it used to be $299?).

    Landscape and kernel live-patching are also useful, as is ADsys.

    Even without paid support, the two-year LTS cadence is a good balance between bleeding edge and stagnant stability. Debian doesn't follow a fixed release schedule; and RHEL is so bare-bones and out-of-date that you need EPEL just to make it useful.

  • Ubuntu is the most popular operating system across the major public cloud providers.

  • Fountain soda typically uses a higher ratio of syrup to water. This is in anticipation of some ice melt.

  • Sheesh, you could barely floss between those houses!

  • any hardware store

    Face masks are most effective at reducing the spread of SARS-CoV-2 when the infected persons wear them. They may reduce incidence of infection when donned by healthy persons, but they are much less effective at doing so versus the former case.

    The N95 respirators one would likely find at a hardware store are not the proper masks. The 3M Cool Flow Valve Particulate Respirator 8511, for example, which I picked up recently at a hardware store, only filters the incoming air but not the outgoing air. The contagions flow straight out.

    They were absolutely great for better tolerating the highly dusty environment that prompted me to purchase them. But I wouldn't trust them if contagions were the concern at hand.

    If they are your only choice? Sure. But if you have a better option? Go for it. Help protect your neighbors.

  • It's an inkjet thing.

    When you run out of color, Brother lets you select to print using only black ink. But after 4 weeks, they lock you out from that too.

    It's documented on their website. No more printing at that point until you replace the offending color cartridge. They do at least let you scan though.

    Meanwhile I have printed exactly one single black-only page since the last time I put in a new yellow cartridge (3 months ago) and yet my yellow ink is almost 1/4 depleted at this point. I've just been watching it slowly disappear.

  • Try removing the problematic video from your history. That usually seems to help.

  • Ah, yes, Brother. The company that uses all your yellow ink to clean the print heads and to print tracking dots, and then only gives you up to 4 weeks to print without it before locking you out entirely.

  • How many of them would ever run an OS released in 2023?

  • What if she only stole... from thieves?

  • systemd was invented because Upstart fell under Canonical's CLA

  • Yes, because IP68 is the better target. Surely you remember all the water damage issues with the S5?

  • It's a Heisenberg tradeoff. At a certain point you can either make them more impact resistant or more scratch resistant.

  • However, it's still unclear what underlying mechanisms may allow antibiotic resistance to spread in air pollution. It will be important for future studies to investigate this.

    Wat.

    Increased air pollution -> More respiratory illnesses - > More over-prescribing of antibiotics -> More antibiotic resistance

  • They tell you exactly where the unit is.
