Re: Can of worms

Similar here.

Specifically:

It is considered a work related incident from the point of leaving your home to go to work, to the point of returning home from work(if you go shopping after work you are still considered as work related).

And yes - we have the lowest cost travel to/from work covered(usually monthly bus/train pass) as well as a certain amount for lunch/day.

Also some organisiations had a 1-2eur/day reimbursement for use of own resources during the whole WFH stuff.

So it's perfectly possible.

Re: Fizzled out

This is why matrix - end to end encryption - and anyone can run their own instance that federates with others. XMPP/Jabber is also an option.

Bit hard to get scanned when there is no service provider to threathen their business model.

Re: Font recommendations

Arkpandora Aerial Mono is what I use because it has a very good distinction between all those similar letters.

Re: I drink both and I speak for me

Green tea definitely won't have anywhere near the kick of coffee because it has the least amount of caffinee. You want black tea for that.

Re: 2 sides of the story

If you looked more closer - Lutris is a launcher system(similar to steam, blizzard and all the other) - the difference is - it has a repostiory of installer scripts - some that tie to gog, some to steam others prompt you for the source of the installer.

Looking at a random 3ds installer - it asks the user to point it to the ROM. So there is no IP issue there. It's literaly - we're gonna setup an emulator for you with the provided ROM - which you could obtain legaly from a cratridge or a system you own.

Re: Deleted

That's why you have backups, maybe a daily cleaned trash can as well. And work with that alone.

Easy solution xD buy two - one for you one for the kid xD

You mean the horse style? xD

Re: Firefox forever (except at work)

Ummm did you go fiddle in about:config - it has settings to support NTLM stuff in there.

Why are you involving management into this? They won't know what it is even if they signed off on it 30s before.... Just unplug it, put it in your drawer and wait for the scream test.

I mean I'd say anyone in IT would be eyeing PoS devices suspiciously anyway. And RFID enabled cards etc....

Re: Killing a database?

Being IT the essential requirement should be being paranoid tbh.

Re: Why Linux on Apple Hardware?

There's a laptop with 16:10??? Where!!!

Re: Plus sign in email addresses is often fun

Yeah - I ran into that one way to many times. At least the register lets me do it.

You mean the exception they had and other similar sites?

They do let you turn it on or off at your own discretion. Unfortunately your reading comprehension seems to be set to off.

Re: Why is self-signed such a bad idea ?

I don't know about you but the pile of bits in my browser that claim they trust each other etc... yeah I don't trust. And stuff that happened over the years with some - not exactly confidence inspiring as well.

Re: For procurement...

They are immune against MELTDOWN. SPECTRE still aplies but MELTDOWN is the one that hits the performance hard.

Re: Please?

You are assuming they are not their own for some reason?

Re: vulnerability in human psychology

Hmmm I have that same feeling - though I often am chatting with a friend on discord or some other such platform along the way. But yeah not social networks...

Re: Quick - call a sociologist

I personally dislike that feature as well.

Other thing that annoys me is the mutability of the messages themselves. This is what I like about email and IRC - you post it - it's there - can't delete it or change it.

No write something - look at it 5 minutes later - it changed to something different on gone completely.

Why I have bitlbee-discord on as well - that shows me the full trail.

Let's see - assembled near every piece of furniture - kitchen, wardrobes, various shelving units, tables etc...

Never had any issues with missing components, miss drilled stuff etc...

Re: What's the betting...

Think you have your geography a bit mixed up with regards to Slovenia.

Re: Retro?

Sloppy focus - so windows don't lose focus when you go over your background XD

Still love it in my FVWM config.

Re: Lots of revenge hacks recently...

> I know that it would take extreme circumstances for me to do anything like this.

Never. Simple as that. My duty is to keep things going, if the employer treats me poorly there are legal means to go after them - without making myself the target.

Re: Sailfish (Jolla)

After a few months of having my Jolla I gave it to my mom to play with - ran the tutorial for her and let her toy around with it.

30 minutes later(aka I wandered of to do other stuff) - I like it, can I have one?

We now both use Jolla phones.

daft

Relying on any system without a support contract/entity that would get such things fixed as a core system sounds like a daft idea.

You find a system that works with your setup and pay for that.

If I were to deploy something like that - first things first:

- Is there in house support from IT to support Linux based systems? No? Can they retrain, how much does it cost, what would be needed, would an external provider be able to assist until transition is done?

- How to do standard office things like mail(this one can be as easy as use google apps for business, or some other web based provider, if need in house find a system that either your team can manage with or a third party provider(open-xchange comes to mind(they offer support packages and such)), documents etc...

- Core business supporting systems - be it ERP, CRM, etc... etc... it's core to your business so you should have a support contract or at least some sort of business contact with whoever's software you are using - be it a cloud based solution, or some piece of software, if there is no business support available - don't use it. This isn't a hammer that will just work with no support.

People often forget that just because it's open source it doesn't mean it's free of costs. They are just elsewhere - software is free, and you get free support if you are willing to wait for responses from commuinty/do your own research. But if you need support on business critical things - then don't rely on that.

As someone who loves open source and software available for it even I need to look at the business case for everything I suggest to the company be it storage(go with $random server and disks or a dedicated storage system from a known storage vendor), be it servers, firewall etc...

Re: Now if someone were to film Ian Banks culture novels

This is my worry as well, as much as there are some great books, once put on film it would be someone elses vision.
