Honestly, I did not foresee the rise of Trump muppets here on SlashDot every day since he got elected, gaslighting and pushing their alt-right bullshit.
That is a error in judgment you made because you assumed they were all just unpaid volunteers, doing it in their free time. They aren't unpaid though. They aren't volunteers. They didn't vote for Trump; they're not even American.
Well, it only took them one whole release to realize avconv was a mistake, but there is a lot more funding behind systemd, so I worry it may take longer.
Of course, if enough people start migrating to Devuan before Stretch is released, maybe they'll get a clue quicker.
The vast majority of hardware vendors do not enable secure boot by default anyway. If you bought a prebuilt machine from an OEM that does, you'll have to learn to turn it off, but such vendors were already doing their best to stop new users from installing Linux so it's not like many of them would have succeeded anyway. Debian's action here is triage, nothing more.
My gripe though is that if you already have a number in mind, why bother asking me to provide an estimate?
It's just a simple bargaining tactic. It works really well on non-intellectuals. First they need to find out what you think is a reasonable amount of time so they can make you feel bad about it. They have no idea what a reasonable amount of time for the task actually is but they'll vehemently insist that it's less than 50% of whatever you tell them.
The idea of course is that it'll put you on your back foot, then they'll be able to make any demands they want of you about extra features or lower prices later, by leveraging the notion that you're already not delivering fast enough before you've even started on it.
And these people wonder why they've needed to cheat and twist government regulations to find foreign indentured servants willing to keep doing this crap. It's pathetic really.
If there was any justice left in this country their datacenters would be [donated to furthering scientific research and education], and their directors sent to Camp X-Ray.
This doesn't seem to be like antibodies though. It seems to be something non-toxic that the viruses are somehow terminally addicted to. They just suck it in until they explode. This doesn't seem to be an approach anyone had thought of before.
Look, obviously I get that. I was merely pointing out where someone tried to invalidate the analogy and failed at it apparently because they didn't have enough experience with video games.
Sometimes the hardware does not respond within spec. I've fallen through the map in first person shooters before. I've falling through the map in WoW even. He's not wrong that there is precedent for this.
If both sites are owned by you, it would be smarter to just deploy OpenVPN yourself at one site and connect the other site to it directly. No reason to pay a 3rd party service for that.
Pay special attention to the difference between openvpn.net and openvpn.com. The first one is the free, open source software project. The second is their commercial service for said software. You do not need to subscribe to the second to use the first.
I'm not sure whether it would have ever worked, but probably where they went wrong wasn't in thinking it could work. Probably where they went wrong was in thinking that the right approach was to throw out everything and start over from scratch, free of the burdens of any respect for or awareness of existing communal efforts or ethics.

How about a phone that folds in half!
It's gonna be revolutionary!!
(And they will mod this thread down to -1 with their banked sock-puppet mod points.)

... unless you have a really messed up router/firewall configuration.
You mean, like one that uses Intel chips?
... buy Dell then shut it down, just for laughs.
Why would those OEMs care which OS an end user installs after they've got their money?
I don't think you're really this stupid. I think you're just being paid to claim to be this stupid. Get fucked, shill.
They usually are more careful about who they buy hardware from.

It's all on you now, Peggy. Godspeed.
Don't worry, the LibreOffice team is diligently working on a fix for this missing feature.
... their "4G LTE" was never actually 4G either. This will still just be a third generation network with extra lies.

I guess they've finally figured out what had been obvious to everyone else here for 20 years.

Don't let people who don't know fuck all about coding think they're qualified to manage software projects.
I think it's time to call it. Vaping industry at large is wholly incompetent.

Yea, I hear Linux already had a desktop and they decided to make their own anyway.
Google will just happily pay extra. It's the rest of them that are screwed.
It's also a copy&pasted troll story older than the hills, just FYI.
