henfredemars,

I think it’s just schoolyard ego here. It makes them feel powerful if they can get to you.

henfredemars,

Is there a name for processing language this way? I’ve written letters formatted in this manner as a challenge.

henfredemars,

Thank you! That’s a very good place to start. I’m not an expert in linguistics, but a close friend of mine loves to experiment with language in our letters. We will perform interesting transformations to grammar and spelling just to see how it feels to communicate with those rules.

I went to ask nicely for help from their support department and got a development build for one of their routers. Not only was it an ancient version of OpenWRT with the myriad of unpatched vulnerabilities, but it had absolutely dumb/weird configurations like the Wi-Fi password being a user account password exposed to a patched up SSH daemon with shell /bin/false. Just a whole lot of why and an obvious lack of care put into the software.

Their devices function… Most of the time. That’s about all that’s redeeming.

henfredemars,

One of our dogs has mental issues. She does this all the time, minus the cat.

It took me like a week to download what I think is all of them from a decent cable connection. I do intend to watch this but it’s going to take me like a year given that I have a job.

However, I’m very privileged in a sense. I get to watch them for the first time. How many fans would love to rewatch episodes for the first time?

henfredemars,

Oh no

henfredemars,

I’ve got third-party cookies disabled entirely. I click whatever makes the dialogue go away faster.

How often do you back up?

I was wondering how often does one choose to make and keep back ups. I know that “It depends on your business needs”, but that is rather vague and unsatisfying, so I was hoping to hear some heuristics from the community. Like say I had a workstation/desktop that is acting as a server at a shop (taking inventory / sales...

henfredemars,

Monthly, alternating locations.

henfredemars,

Another perspective is data hoarding.

I have system images of machines of relatives who have died. Many of the photos that I have retained are the only ones. However, that was more an emergent utility than a motivating one.

henfredemars,

You got me there! Not fireproof. In that case I’m just hoping that having two off-site backups at different locations has me covered, but that’s a good idea. I should consider fireproof foil.

henfredemars,

Could be worse. My ISP has a broken implementation.

henfredemars,

I don’t have money for a new SSD right now but my current SSD is mostly empty, 2TB. I turned off BitLocker to facilitate easy copying of files and because I’m pretty sure secure boot would be a pain. I’m running Linux Mint and I hope to go back into the windows install as little as possible. Maybe one day I’ll dump it entirely.

henfredemars,

No kidding. My employer has top quality health insurance too, and in the USA that’s a seriously big deal when your prospective partner has a health condition.

henfredemars,

That’s going to curdle.

Eww.

henfredemars,

Sir excuse me but I seem to have misplaced my blood.

henfredemars,

It seems that I see fewer lights every year since I was a child.

henfredemars,

And as far as my wife is concerned, I’m definitely 6 ft tall. Height ain’t what it used to be.

henfredemars,

You’re sure that there was a crime? You’re fortunate that your bug is consistently reproducible.

henfredemars,

I don’t hate it. Seems functional.

Upon the web, a cipher dance delayed, An SSL error in its code displayed. In cryptic realms, where data ought to flow, A falter in the handshake, whispers woe.

From one program to another I suppose.

henfredemars,

My smartphone is specifically and uniquely useful to me for the following:

  • Access the Internet without using my work laptop. My employer doesn’t need to know I took a moment to check the weather, answer my wife to coordinate schedules, or respond to an important personal email.
  • Entertainment while my dog sniffs the same spot on the ground for 5 minutes, or while standing in a queue.
  • Safety, if I need to reach someone while out and about. I can’t imagine pulling out a laptop on the side of the road and trying to call a tow.
  • More secure OS for accessing mobile banking.
  • I love taking pictures. The best laptop cameras struggle to compete with a mid-range smartphone.

With that said, I think the smartphone is something that you know is useful to you. For most people, the answer is clearly yes that it has a place. It’s refreshing to know that not everyone is so dependent.

henfredemars,

I think a human needs to be in the loop to make the right choice between abandoned communities and communities preserved for posterity.

The best balance might be to empower the instance admins with an easy, push button solution to list inactive communities by last activity for bulk deletion.

henfredemars,
  • Not quite heart-shaped.
  • Camera angle assisting the claim.

Mild, 💯 quality content.

henfredemars,

Excellently mild. Thank you for the fine business.
