Day9. Though I just rewatched a funday Monday from episode 200 or 300 and it was just as amazing and fun as it was back over a decade ago.

I watched newer stuff he still seems to be a great guy.

Sorry to clarify: updates come as security or as feature updates. If I’ve already got a standard operating environment (SOE) with all the features I/staff need to do work, I don’t need new features.

I then have to watch cves with my cve trackers to know when software updates are needed and all devices with those software get updated and the SOE is updated.

I can go on a rant about how bad the Linux has recently made my life as someone’s policy is that any Linux bug might be a security vulnerability and therefore I now have infinite noise in my cve feed, which in turn is making decisions on how to mitigate security issues hard, but that is beyond this discussion.

So in short I’m only talking about when you update, updating only security fixes, not the software and features. Live patching security vulnerabilities is pretty much free low effort, low impact, and in my personal opinion, absolutely critical. But software features patching can be disruptive, leaves little to be gained, and really only should be driven for a request to need that feature at which point it would also include an update to the SOE.

Inertia is just a sign of maturity. It’s fine. Nothing wrong with it. Especially when the new stuff is happening along side it. In 10 years there may be people asking why you’re using arch or nix, when whatever new thing is superior. But it’ll just be proof that nix can run in production for 10+ years.

Is that the one where you start with a stealth mission that never appears again in the game? It acts as a mandatory tutorial and makes the whole thing unreplayable because of its heavy handed enforcement? If I’m right, this game is a really good minor evolution of the original for exactly one play through. However I wanted to enjoy it a second time a few times but never got through the intro. Hmm exactly how I’d describe metal gear solid 5. I’ve got great memories just can’t revisit it.

Yeah I have constant crashes back to login screen but never have I seen a kernel panic except before a system boots. Mm a few exceptions

Oh you got a good chuckle out of me

They probably have been using it for years, and for the last more then a decade I’ve been using Ubuntu as my main Linux distribution since I have work to do and I’ll get to doing work faster in ubuntu than any other distribution.

Why did I start with Ubuntu? 10+ years ago Ubuntu was lightyears ahead for community support for issues. Again, I had work to do, I wasn’t hobbyist playing “fuck windows”.

In fact look at things like ROS where you can get going with “apt install ros-noetic-desktop” and now you can build your robotics stuff instantly. Every dependency to start and all the other tooling is there too. Sure a bunch of people would now say “use nix” but my autonomous robotics project doesn’t care I am trying to get lidar, camera, motors, and SLAM algorithms to work. I don’t want to care or think about compiling ROS for some arch distribution.

I won’t say I don’t dabble with other distributions but if I’ve got work to do, I’m going to use the tools I already know better than the back of my hand. And at the time, when selecting these tools, Ubuntu had it answered and is stable enough to have been unchanging for basically a decade.

Oh and if I needed to, I could pay and get support so the CEO can hear that risk is gone too (despite almost every other vendor we pay never actually resolving a issue before we find and fix it… Though I do like also being able to say “we have raised a ticket with vendor x and am waiting on a reply”).

From my perspective, if used for work, automatic security updates should be mandatory. Linux is damn impressive with live patch. With thousands or even tens of thousands of endpoints, it’s negligent to not patch.

Features? Don’t care. But security updates are essential in a large organisation.

The worst part of the Linux fan base is the users who hate forced updates, and also don’t believe in AV. Ok on your home network that’s not very risky compared to a corp network with a million student and staff personal information often with byo devices only a network segment away and APT groups targeting you because they know your reputation is worth something to ransom.

That’s another cool shot thanks!

This is the story of a girl,

Please keep posting updates

Baggies of white powder and snap chat

Back in my day, and to this day, Microsoft offers such huge discounts in academia on licensing, and recruit so many students from university, I never saw anything but MS.

I’m glad we are at least in an age that there’s alternative to Microsoft in the free and open source space for individuals even when school goes down their path.

Hmm interesting. Not for me but the communities tab on steam will probably benefit from good easier made clips. Always enjoying the pictures from yakuza games there. I peek around the communities tab a lot while being undecided about what I want to play.

Glad you got it working, interesting if the slicer itself was the problem… When you’re loading a file to the printer on my elegoo I’ll be able to check the actual layer settings which is ultimately the key since that’s how long the lcd will light up and cure the resin.

However supports and rafts are heavily influenced by the slicer so any issues there could be resolved by the slicer software.

Otherwise your hygiene cleaning all sounds like good practice regardless both to remove variables and maintenance.

Glad you got it sorted

Without Carlos driving at his peak, Ferrari will not be able to guarantee second in constructors let alone challenge for first as perez continues to contribute nada to red bull. I’d imagine they’d like to continue to be second and specifically ahead of maclaren. To do that they’ll need him to be motivated to be a driver and I don’t know much about him but if I’ve seen anything from the races, it’s that he’s motivated by personal achievements.

Either way double Ferrari dnf from infighting entertains me greatly. :)

I’ve been thinking of running something using second hand usb cameras and raspberri pi 3+ since my switch already has poe and my nas has 40tb.

I have a 3d printer so a wall mount enclosure shouldn’t be hard either.

Was thinking of mounting them on the window frames indoors.

Nvr software like this might work: https://github.com/seydx/camera.ui

Tailscale will allow me to access the Web front end anywhere on my devices. Individually it could hold the RPis too just for remote troubleshooting later if anything happens.

Personally I’d like to reuse as many things that I already own and have no specific reliance on a vendor. If I got a rstp camera later, I wouldn’t need a pi to host the camera. But I’ve got a couple of pis and a couple of usb webcam to start. It won’t work for night mode so I’ll have to make sure the outdoor lights are triggered by motion.

But I’ve not done anything yet this is all how I’ve thought about it in my head. So I’m watching this space to learn more too.

Same, pcsx2 running yakuza. Started playing it and found trouble. Searched and couldn’t believe someone not only had that problem but fixed it themselves!

That person was me. I devolved in the time between. I didn’t even know until I went to thank the person and the system told me that email was in use.

One rich company trying to claim money off the other rich companies using its software. The ROI on enforcing these will come from only those that really should have afforded to pay and if they can’t, shouldn’t have built on the framework. Let them duke it out. I have zero empathy for either side.

The hopeful other side is with a “budget” for the license, a company can consider using that to weigh up open source contributions and expertise. Allowing those projects to have experts who have income. Even if it’s only a few companies that then hire for that role of porting over, and contributing back to include needed features, more of that helps everyone.

The same happens in security, there used to be no budget for it, it was a cost centre. But then insurance providers wouldn’t provide cyber insurance without meeting minimum standards (after they lost billions) and now companies suddenly have a budget. Security is thriving.

When companies value something, because they need to weigh opportunity cost, they’ll find money.

Mac book pro from 2012 still going, not strong, Bluetooth barely works, there’s a dying row of pixels, on the screen, the CPU doesn’t seem to support any modem video codec in accelerated mode, and the speakers were clearly garbage and it doubles how bad the Bluetooth is. But it’s running pop os! And it’s running it fine. I mean as long as you connect via rustdesk to another real machine to do real work. It can’t handle tabs or browser rendering…

Anyway even if i retire it today, it’s outlasted 3 work laptops.
