This is some serious dayjob orchestra shit here
I’ve never had a negative experience contributing to open source.
I’ve also been to scrums where everyone is equal, and we have to be very PC, about explaining “processes” and “best practices” to people that break the build pipeline every single day. Eventually I just coded error handling and guard clauses into everything so no one could screw anything up by not following the documentation being a cowboy. That is a best practice, sure, but you’d be surprised by how people break things even after being warned not to do a very specific thing.
A cowboy that fixes things always 24/7 can be a maverick and talk shit.
But in todays PC world you can also be a cowboy that breaks everything always and spends weeks fixing something they themselves broke…
I wish I could say the things Linus said instead of just putting people on a performance improvement plan.
Sometimes being angry is appropriate. When I am I step back and try to figure out solution where the fuck up can’t happen again and no one gets hurt.
I’ve seen people be VERY angry and even hands on working in jobs where fucking up can kill people.
I’d rather see anger than people dying. Did Linus go too far here? Probably, but there is a time and place for anger and being direct.
Even a decade ago it usually meant ticking a box that you also allowed nonfree drivers.
Even Debian allowed you to download the specific nonfree driver you needed and add it (without Internet) at imaging so post install you could connect with wifi and not just Ethernet.
It’s come a long way. But doesn’t anyone else remember when windows did not have drivers and you’d constantly be confronted with “have disk”?
I mean, the amount of drivers for old hardware I still have saved… Because before win10 nothing would reliability always fetch the driver you need from the net…
Remember PhysX back when it was a separate
card Physics Processing Unit before they shoved it on the GPU before they even had multithreading? Yea it evolved. But the original implementation was not ideal.
Yea l knew someone that gave remote access out to one of these scams. Couldn’t be sure they didn’t leave a reverse shell so we just formated the drive and reinstalled windblows.
They finally hit a stride right there at the end!
If they had 26 episodes then it would have evened out and there’d be more gems. It can’t be easy write, get the episodes thru the board, get the actors to do it well, and still have good content after composing with executives and panels. But if they made more it’d be easier to overlook.
They will trade in the Confidentiality and Integrity for just Availability.
When something like a hack finally drops the availability they will be forced to act.
They will never do a pentest tho.
Same story all over from government, small companies, all the way up to medical in big corporate hospitals and systems that could cause harm to human life.
Security is at most a checkbox somewhere that just gets checked regardless of the true state of the system. If it still works don’t fix it.
What happened to Al Franken three weeks after Leeann Tweeden, a conservative talk-radio host, accused him?
We absolutely need to investigate claims and make sure due process is not an up hill battle. At least 63% of rapes are not reported. Yet there needs to be due process. Due process is different from a private company deciding not to do business with you or pay you while due process is under way, so I’m not surprised by YouTube taking this action.
The Register has broken some good stories.
Also an excuse to read Simon Travaglia’s BOFH https://www.theregister.com/offbeat/bofh/
You can still get plastic (non tempered glass) screen protectors
I prefer plastic matte screen protector over glossy and usually get ones from the company IQ shield
If you’re going to watch DJO watch “Happy in Paraguay” and “Turbo Lift.”
My wife suggested “I’m A Big Chocolate Slut” tho
