Regardless of the account, anonymous or not, I assume that my identity will be revealed and post accordingly. I’ve been doing so since I first posted on the internet in 1990.

Not for nothing, the same is true for email and any other form of (electronic) communication.

Do I make mistakes? Absolutely! Have I regretted making a post or comment? Over the years perhaps less than a dozen times, that, or I’m getting old and feeble minded.

I try to make my contributions positive and supportive, sometimes I even manage to get the balance right between my odd sense humour and misunderstanding promulgated by online communication with strangers.

What was in the log?

At least the thermal paste isn’t too thick…

In my experience, as little as possible.

The more you pack into it, the more you carry around, the higher the risk if it’s lost, or worse, stolen, not to mention the more it affects wear and tear on your clothing.

Less is more!

Nope it’s not facetious … I’m an ICT professional and I see this regularly.

This is episode 3 of a four part series about our ability to predict the future based on the past, using letters written in 1959 as a way to unearth what specifically makes this so hard.

Outside these four episodes, the program itself discusses many different aspects of life and society, it explores preconceived ideas and dogs into journalistic myths and misconceptions.

Highly recommended!

Pretty sure that you can use it with a CloudFlare custom error page.

Build a website on your preferred platform, you’re already using WP.

Create a static version of it. There’s plugins for exactly that purpose.

Put the static files on a web host, I use s3, but you can use whichever you prefer.

When you update the site on WP, run the static extraction again and update your actual site.

Why do you see this as USA only?

Because the announcement doesn’t use UTC to announce the event and there’s absolutely no chance that anyone outside the US knows when some random timezone is, or if daylight savings is active in that timezone or not at the time of the event.

The announcement also tells me that the organisation is run out of the USA, not a place universally known for its inclusivity or global consideration. Reinforced by a text only image with no alt text.

I think a tech workers coalition is an interesting and potentially useful idea, but the announcement doesn’t even contain a URL to the organisation.

Which leads to my conclusion, a USA only affair.

I’d be delighted to be wrong, but that’s what the announcement conveyed to me.

So … USA tech workers only?

This is the job for the OS.

You can run most Linux systems with stupid amounts of swap and the only thing you’ll notice is that stuff starts slowing down.

In my experience, only in extremely rare cases are you smarter than the OS, and in 25+ years of using Linux daily I’ve seen it exactly once, where oomkiller killed running mysqld processes, which would have been fine if the developer had used transactions. Suffice to say, they did not.

I used a 1 minute cron job to reprioritize the process, problem “solved” … for a system that hadn’t been updated for 12 years but was still live while we documented what it was doing and what was required to upgrade it.

Linux aggressively caches things.

4 GB of RAM is not running out of memory.

If you start using swap, you’re running into a situation where you might run out of memory.

If oomkiller starts killing processes, then you’re running out of memory.

This explains is pretty well:

Absolutely!

I mentioned it last week.

Boarder?

Defenestration in … three … two …

Is it just me, or is that IKEA shelving?

You mean like the Nepalese government did?

How much waste they take up with them?

If it’s more than 8kg, I’m guessing that the only missing requirement for the refund is to increase the number to make it that every climber brings down more than they take up.

In other words, put every climber on the scales before they go up and unless they weigh more when they come back, they don’t get their money back.

Bonus reward for each extra kg.
