How do I “care for my attention”?

Snaps obscure content from validation also.

The .deb format has serious impairments toward validating content.

Security people shake their heads when “how do we know” fails, and build/rel people can’t answer the question “is that what’s expected” for all files.

It’s a major difference between enterprise Linux and debuntus, and I’ve been in groups where this breakage has eliminated that branch of Linux distros from opportunities.

If it’s a sick day I definitely check my social.media and will even check work-teams every few hours.

I will talk to my boss or my boss-boss on teams during a sick day.

Union.

According to one of my platoon-mates,

• in a swamp. Standing in 15cm of ~water. Nothing but fucktrees in all directions, off into the dark.

Ya just kinda bend your knees a bit and stop there.

Welp, I’m out.

Something new is new, and apparently that’s all tha-- SQUIRREL!

• open-source
• Ticketing
• Cathedral-style coding isn’t very Open-Source, if you believe the man who wrote the book and coined the term.
• it’s okay to post your own words instead of drunkenly jamming HTML into Markdown.

Net worth isn’t a thing except for the aristocratic right. There, privilege implies belonging; and when coupled with egocentric decisions is basically their entire theme.

Got busy and didn’t update my template for awhile. Machines would be instantiated a few minors back. 9.2 vs 9.4, for instance, but this was back in 7-land.

Updates would be about 600 packages, or most of the install.

Took 5 min, completely safe. Patch, bounce because we looked funny at dbus so it can’t cope, and then good to go.

I used to tease my windows peer: he’d be still on “do not turn off your computer”.

Mine are the ones that properly report their software versions to hrSWInstalledTable.

Great news! Security and build-release people also hate snap junk.

Same reasons.

Ask us about npm next.

We like terms like “security professionals” or “build-release engineers” to describe why package validation and provenance is important, as is SSoT for avoiding dependency hell by proxy.

But when you don’t understand the real terms, use whatever ya like. Yes, honey, that’s the goer-upper, and now we press the button for the floor we want.

Thanks for putting the hyphen in the title.

How is this - at best - not akin to trainspotting?

A comms medium managed centrally from the common pool, so it’s universal and available? An open set of books we can tune through voting?

That’s just crazy talk. That’s like when the telephone system and ferry system were done the same way … and worked. Madness!

people refusing to give money but offering some food item

Dude doesn’t need to accept it.

the condescension of

Hmm. Don’t be a dick, okay?

I was at a sandwich shop in town. Something happened and they messed up my sandwich. They said “want a remake?” and, well, please. I’m particular. “Want this one?” Yeah, as I’ll bring it home for the wife. But wait: on the way to the train I see a pair huddled in a doorway, just being. “Free sammich? Just from there, I swear it’s good, but it’s extra. You want?” Yeah, they wanted it.

Felt good not to waste it.

I feel totally okay with buying a poor guy lunch if he wants it. My family was poor, I’m okay now, I have no pride and I like food; I assume Buddy is the same way. If so, free lunch. Woo!

I don’t like giving money to people. I DO like giving money to the food bank, as they can leverage the fuck out of it and the dollar goes further for more people. I don’t give food to the food bank, as whatever I buy to give for them is nowhere near as good as me giving that money to them directly.

convinced they were keeping this broken on purpose, it’s been broken so long. Like, years long.

Heh. There’s a ticket with Splunk. It’s a simple request: do the 30 sec of work to let us install your software rpm from a proper yum repo.

They can’t figure out how.

They won’t ask.

It’s 12 years old now.

The ticket for them to do a trivial exercise with tools twice as old, is now a tween. It can ride the bus on its own. I think it can get a Facebook account. Maybe.

We should get one for it.

Nickelback fed and banked on that polarization.
