I wanted to buy music, but a CD that I got in the 00’s had some “protection” so that I couldn’t rip it and listen to it on my MP3 player.
Now, I ripped it from a Linux computer and had no problems, but was so upset that the record companies tried this. I realized that it’s not about right or wrong, but just about power and money.
New Zealand stopped subsidizing farmers, and survives. So we have at least one data point showing that it is possible.
Godzilla was from 1954!

Definitely worth watching.
I understood that reference!
Funny but diseases usually become less virulent over time. A successful disease generally doesn’t harm the host too much.
Ebola doesn’t spread far because it quickly kills the carrier. The COVID-19 pandemic was basically ended because it mutated into a less dangerous variant.
I visited Prague, and this painting is just up at a cafe. I ordered the absinthe with my tour guide, a Czech schoolteacher who gave city walking tours to make ends meet. She had never had it, which I thought a kind of minor sin. Anyway, we didn’t know that its like 90% alcohol. Great experience, terrible drink. 😆
That was a wild ride!
I suppose it is possible to have two PR that have changes that depend on each other. In general this just requires refactoring… typically making a third PR removing the circular dependency.
It sounds like your policy is to keep PR around a long time, maybe? Generally we try to have ours merged within a few days, before bitrot sets in.
You can make a PR against your feature branch and have that reviewed. Then the final PR against your man branch is indeed huge, but all the changes have already been reviewed, so it’s just LGTM and merge that bad boy!
How is this different from creating a feature branch and making your PR against them until everything is done, then merging that into the main branch?
I mean, I guess it depends on what you mean by “directly detect”. We measure neutrinos by having photoreceptors in huge tanks of very pure water deep under old salt mines… which hardly seems more direct than looking at where galaxies and stars are moving and calculating the gravitational pull and noticing that something is missing…
I reboot every box monthly to flush out such issues. It’s not perfect, since it won’t catch things like circular dependencies or clusters failing to start if every member is down, but it gets lots of stuff.
Emacs was the first bloated IDE!
I was at a party explaining that we were finishing up a release trying to decide which bugs were critical to fix. The person that I was talking to was shocked that we would release software with known bugs.
When I explained that all software has bugs, known bugs, he didn’t believe me.
Could be a prism or a more complicated shape, but it could be a cube.
I didn’t know there was a -delete option to find! I’ve been piping to xargs -0 for decades!
I had a Helios that literally just started having trouble powering SATA disks a few days ago. I got it in 2019 I think, so only 5 years of life.
I use Linux LVM and either ext4 (for older volumes) or btrfs (for newer volumes, because I want the checksums across the data) so in principle I could throw the disks in a PC as a temporary solution.
I have put the disks in SATA to USB 2.0 caddies, and the Helios 4 kind of still works, but I’m ordering a couple of Orange Pi 5 and with USB 3.0 disk enclosures to replace it. It was kind of time anyway, since Nextcloud has dropped support for 32-bit CPU.
Even Marx thought that capitalism was an improvement over earlier systems, and he might be correct. But like religion - which helped people cooperate at larger scales than a tribe - it has reached a point where the evils that it inflicts on the world far outweigh any past benefits.
So, we meet at last, Florida Man!
