Yes! And if one doesn’t know different definitions are used, one won’t know to look them up.

There are also “terms of art”, which are normal words that take on new meaning within a a field. Sometimes these are multiple words that otherwise could have meaning. These appear in legal writing, but also in programming and other areas.

DNAM. Is or used to be on the UBCD.

For the future remember, encryption helps when the disk is no longer operational.

Yes, and no.

Some settings are harder to circumvent, like partition limits, cgroups, and sysconfig. Others are more suggestion than limit, like shell. DNS server and ssh server settings only require a knowledgeable person to circumvent.

It is best to use layers. Helpfully provide working configs. Kindly provide limits to dissuade ill use. Keenly monitor for the unexpected. Strongly block on many layers the forbidden. Come down like the hammer of god on anyone and anything that still gets through.

It is on my shared electronic calendar, physical home calendar, and I remind people that I want to have plans with. I also decorate for housemates’ birthday weeks.

I don’t tell strangers.

Sorry friend, no clue what you are meaning.

I am only posting as motivation that it can be different.

Here is permission to unpause.

Do I have to write the notes, or does steam do magic community notes?

Without the error messages, it sounds like a security mechanism on the server side.
Any chance the errors are due to too many login attempts, or bad password?

Everyone appears to be hitting the “shut up, no one cares”.

There is also the “stop worrying, no one cares.” This is meant to be reassuring. It may be literal.

The thing is… The upgrade path degrades. Once one is 3 or more major versions behind, upgrading becomes technically challenging. (I have done this a few times…) It is better to just reinstall.

That said, a Debian system that works won’t just stop working. My Raspberry Pi 2 has no issues since the initial install.

Professionally, it is better to have a fast recovery path. PXE boot, Debian preseed, a config management system (Ansible, Puppet, etc) and local caches and you can be set in 10 minutes. (After years of setting all of that up.)

I thought for sure this was a sex joke.

Nice!

I am currently setting up a FreeBSD ZFS file server. Software installs are so fast I thought they failed. (OS installer needs quality of life improvemens.)

Advice for others reading this:

• know the vacation policy.
• do days carry over to next year?
• what happens if you go over. (Sometimes one is fired, othertimes one only looses a day of pay don’t get paid for that day.)

Edit: clarification

Yes, normal. It is good for you and it is good for Linux.

Distros try different things, and it is good to be exposed to many of those. It helps to discover the most functional ideas and cross pollinate.

Wait until you try non-linux FOSS OSes…

Easier to distro hope if your data is safe elsewhere.

“Family Size” has no meaning anymore

Never did.

I hear European CEOs demand much lower salaries. Could save a bundle right there.

I tend to buy two at a time. Some are months old, others three years old.

Professionally, I have seen drives over 10 years always on at low utilization without issue. (The data was easily replaceable.)

crammed in to my case in a hideous way

Heat is a killer. Check them regularly.

I don’t think the “natural properties” of a career or industry will be enough to be lowest. I think an industry or career with high oversight from many individuals and regulators. Likely something that has fucked up before, and massively.

Slot machine programmer.

• regulated industry
• work can be checked many times
• customers (casinos) don’t want to be fucked
• gamblers don’t want to be fucked
• loads of money to be made doing things well
• lots of scary people willing to drop you in a hole

I am afraid you are misunderstanding me.

There is no way to control who you are attracted to. You control do fully control what you act on.

You could avoid looking at “supermodels”. Maybe that will help.

If you want to date supermodels, then improve yourself enough they want to date you. If that is not possible, then consider getting professional psychiatric help for this “supermodel” thing.

Regular people should improve themselves. That is all they can do.

Stop focusing on your looks. Become someone who: likes themselves, is funny, is caring, is growing their career, is good fixing things, is strong, is a leader, helps others, can sing well, or something else.

Unexpectedly, showing progress is nearly as important than the end state. Someone growing their career and becoming funny, gets most of the points for having a good career and being funny (note actual progress, not day dreaming).

My advice is to pursue whatever you guess will help you like yourself, but that is not necessary.

Improve yourself.
