My family only has one car. We don’t have pre-recorded seat settings, but it would be handy.

Same, comrade. My last job was at a startup, so it’s my own fault, kind of. I knew what venture capitalists do. 🙈

You never know. I thought Devuan was a fantasy but the team’s burning hatred was enough to make it work. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ah yes famously wealthy countries, the Soviet Union and Mexico, who went to hell when they stopped catering to the ultra-rich…

Ah great. It looks like you have a mostly empty encrypted partition with LVM on top of it. If memory serves you might be able to resize the logical volume and the ext4 filesystem in a single command.

I prefer file systems that checksum data. Without this it is difficult to know when there has been corruption. I generally use brtfs for this reason.

Tim Apple does make a good villain…

I’ll be by later today to pick up your cat, so I can watch The Wrath of Khan with it, as you have encouraged. 😉

To each their own. I hate living outside a city.

I’m happy that you enjoy it, but “no good to anyone” is just wrong. 😅

Is a half yard like 1/14⅖th of a centner? 😉

(Sorry, I find ye olde English measurements endlessly amusing!)

An almost inevitable result of venture capital, IMHO.

I mean, you can get rid of NAT and subnet your systems in a logical fashion. That’s pretty awesome.

I use ULA for my WireGuard tunnels, otherwise it’s all public IPv6 (mostly lightly firewalled).

I’m fine with SLAAC, even for servers. I just manually update my DNS with the server addresses when I set them up.

I give money to LibreOffice, Thunderbird, Armbian, the Wikipedia, and so on. I don’t have to, but it shows my appreciation, and maybe helps them do more in some small way.

Very minor note. The blog mentions that the attacker was unlikely to have gained anything by Monero mining. However the Monero page itself says:

Monero can be mined by both CPUs and GPUs, but the former is much more efficient.

I got 135 blocks via sshguard over the first 12 hours today. So, yeah, welcome to the Internet! 😄

Kubernetes storage is the reason I was looking at Minio in the past.

I mean, people in a town I lived in were upset because kids from the next town over were using the public swimming pool. This was in northern Virginia, so not liking people from another village anywhere in the world hardly seems strange.

There’s a bit about those on the Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.xyz#1.111B_class

There used to be restrictions on a hostname.

These had to start with and end with a letter or number, and have only letters, numbers, or a dash. (I heard that originally hostnames had to start with a letter, but 3M got that changed. This might be an urban legend.)

That’s a common restriction for a name still.

Things get funky when you want non-ASCII names - like if you want a cyrillic or Greek name - as registries often limit the allowed characters to limit “isomorphic attacks”. That’s where you use symbols that look the same to trick people into thinking they’re going to another site, like using a 0 instead of an O, or a l instead of an I.

None of this will apply to the XYZ domains that give you a number.

One other issue that might impact you is if you try to connect using only a numeric name. Some tools will interpret such a name as an IPv4 address. Easily solved by using the full name, but weird and confusing if it happens to you unexpectedly. 😅
