The lead children, a phenomenal Polish series about lead poisioning in children.

I never understood the byod hype. It is complete shit for both personal opsec and IT administration.

Yup, I’ve gotten much more into the smolweb, niche websites and the dark web, where some parts still feel like a place I can breathe.

More luck than anything really. It was probably because it had 6 months left and the fact that reading and writing felt slow. Everything else behaved normally and buying a new disk was an educated guess that turned out to be the correct choice.

I had a weird issue with a server SSD.

6 months ahead of scheduled swap, it didn’t die, it just started reading and writing really sluggishly, making the whole server behave really weird. Disk smart statistics looked healthy and disk self tests passed with flying colors. Anyway, had to swap it early and do a re-install of the OS.

The rest of my cluster temporarily took over running some pods and only saw downtime for a few pods that were dependent on some disks in the failing server.

I guess the incident has restarted my interest in distributed storage.

I was going to suggest Cheeto and K-man

If you can’t beat them, deport them

Although not adopted, but ipv5 was mainly a proposal for streaming. https://itsfoss.com/what-happened-to-ipv5/

Oh fuck these shitty headlines. The internet didn’t collapse, it has been deliberately cut off by the state.

Imho any company that require you to install apps on your phone should provide their own hardware. No way I’m installing stalkerware on my personal device.

I fully expected NATO to be on that list.

Make me you fucking sloperator

I think the guardian has a similar setup now.

Watching die hard as I type this comment.

Man, I know that feeling. One thing that helped me better deal with issues like this, was to have a changelog. Basically I write down what a setting was, what I changed it to and a reason. If something goes wrong, I can at least undo what changes I’ve made and see if it helps. It’s not perfect, but it might shave some hours off a RCA.

I would be devestated! Music is one of the things that make me feel grounded and without it, my life would absolutely be less normal.

Please don’t suck, please don’t suck, please don’t suck!

I wish I had the permissions to install ad blocks on my work laptop.

Me too, what is up with not having an adblocker or bring able to install one? So many ads pose security issues and not being able to block them is just annoying and unsafe.

True, it was more of a parry for the inevitable dont-use-teams-comment

I’ve been on Linux for the past 30 years or so, so yes it’s kind of new to me.
