Steam link is really cool. It works very well, and it's a nice way to basically remote desktop to your pc and you can watch movies on netflix and stuff like that.
Soooo with the hardware going away... How will we connect usb controllers to a mobile app?
This is why I use my cell on speakerphone if i'm at home or otherwise not going to disturb anyone. And I use a *corded* ear piece to hear when I'm out and about.
Generally I tell people to call my 'land line' voip phone at the office (or similar at my home).
I probably physically handle my phone about an hour max per day... although when I'm out and about it's usually in my pocket. It would suck to get hip cancer. I play chess or do some e-learning when I'm on the pooper... maybe I'll get hand cancer.... sounds way better than brain cancer.
If you have proper spending/saving habits, you don't "need" credit actually. Credit is great with all the points (I currently get 3% cashback on everything I buy). I also pay everything off in the same billing cycle so I haven't paid interest in probably 20 years on a traditional credit card. So basically I'm making 3% on everything I buy... pretty sweet deal.
If you can't afford the $400 lens, don't buy it until you can. Sure, I might put $5000 on a 0% credit card to buy a few things, but I also have enough in savings and then some to pay it off in any month I want. And I'm not rich either.
ISPs are lobbying for deregulation so they can do whatever the fsck they want and so now they should be directly responsible for everything they do as a result since they refuse to be classified as common carriers.
I would agree to requiring a warrant, that's fine.
My main point was to respond to the AC "Never agree, lose the license and keep your record clean."
If you are driving drunk and are stopped, we as a people have every right to have a history of you on record that you are a clear and present danger to society, whether or not you refuse testing.
Also, if you are driving drunk and are stopped, and the police have reasonable suspicion you are drunk and fail a basic field sobriety test (non-invasive, non-breathalizer), there should be no issue getting a warrant to proceed with intrusive testing.
There go your photos... but then the powers that be can't prove you were taking pictures of the super-secret-government-coverup and hopefully would be less likely to send journalists to a dark hole.
Think about it... If you were searched by border patrol in a fscked up country and you were taking pictures of things that "no one is supposed to know about". What would you prefer: a smashed camera, or blatant evidence of actions which would definitely put your life in danger.
Look at all the recent cases where police shot and killed unarmed people, beat suspects to death, and all around committed crimes that would put anyone else in gitmo. And what happened after it all went to court????
If anything, we need to give the government less money and they need to figure out a better and more efficient way to spend it.
At the government level, it's critical we have good emissions regulations, clear air regulations, toxic substance regulations... all the protections that are current government is quickly stripping away.
The article is only stating facts as we know it. And honestly/sadly/seriously Trump does not understand nor has the first clue about climate change, and that's a big reason why our country is barely doing anything about climate change at the government level.
And that is why stories like this need to be super-mainstream to highlight the fact our elected officials are fucking over the country as know we know it.
(just reboot your machine and CTRL-C to access a root shell)
In pretty much every distro I've used, this is not possible. Any interaction that would give a root shell, would also require the root password. My point being that in an emergency situation you can skip things like dhcp that may completely freeze the boot process.
The problem is that systemd is full of bugs. When the boot process hangs, automounts fail, or shutdown gets stuck waiting on nfs (saying it will time out but the time out target keeps moving), troubleshooting requires knowing C. Those problems can't be fixed by config files and documentation. They are bugs in the C code which is far more complex than a boot system should be.
Exactly! This is the MASSIVE point that pro-systemd-ers completely fail to address.
If any portion of my sysvinit system fails to process... at the console I can ctrl-c, carry on, and figure the issue out normally.
Perfect example, case in point: I recently upgraded a box to Debian Jessie and forgot to remove systemd before rebooting. I lost remote access to the box because for whatever reason, systemd was waiting for dhcp on an interface that was supposed to be set up as static, and was frozen in the process.... Inconveniently despite having console access, I couldn't ctrl-c, ctrl-d, or anything. Completely unresponsive while waiting for dhcp. This is unforgivable of an init system. Yes, I am a C coder, so I can very well find the bit that is waiting for dhcp and add a SIGINT handler, but why would I? SystemD is a steaming pile that no one wanted, and that solves problems that no one had, and is the solution that no one wants. It's been pushed as the 'next-best-thing' and clueless people have went with it.
The arbitrary file locations, random symlink requirements, and overall complexity is NOT what is needed in an init system. This throws away DECADES of acquired knowledge and startup knowhow that WORKS (99% of the time).. and when it doesn't... it's SIMPLE to debug. in sysv (or just about any other init system under the sun) I don't have to read a tome of documentation or fire up a C development studio to figure out why my dependencies aren't coming up.
It's one thing if you have 'skin in the game', meaning it is YOUR business that you're working yourself to death over...
Yeah exactly. I've never felt indebted to any employer to work extra hours when on fixed salary. One of my old jobs had a thing where the management would 'encourage' you to not 'watch the clock' and don't go home exactly at 5. You would get dinged at your performance review if you had an exact 8 hour day for weeks on end. People who routinely put in 50+ hour weeks would get $50 walmart gift cards at the end of the month as a perk for showing such dedication. I much prefer my sanity, and those extra hours aren't worth $50.
But nowadays (and for the last 10 years), I've run my own business. It's hard, hard work, and sometimes easy peezy work depending on what's going on. Summer is my slowing down season where I can actually relax and not work so hard, but when the end or beginning of the year rolls around, everyone wants to buy systems and spend their budget so it's 12+ hour days.
I feel like I can't get any 'real' work done during the week. This is the major reason for many of the extra hours. I spend all day jumping from one hot item to the next as things come up. And then there's the usual "issue of the week" that I have to put time into one thing for the entire week. When Friday night and the weekend rolls around I feel like I can relax and casually work on all the items that I couldn't get to during the week. I can wrap up projects, develop new features, and close out tickets that were half done during the week. I close probably 60% of our tickets on Saturdays.
It's a total catch 22 with manpower. My business isn't making enough to hire a 75k/year engineer that I really need, so I'm stuck doing a lot of the work that someone else should be doing. We're not profitable enough to attract major investors to expand development. So basically I'm stuck pouring my heart and soul into 60-70 hour work weeks. But then again when things go well and I can take half my summers off, it feels worth it because when we get big enough, I can delegate.
I have gotten burned out twice in the last 10 years, working the way I do. Recently we hired a business coach to work on process management, role definitions, and reworking some parts of the business that could be delegated down to a lower wage level1 tech to free up my time. And then of course the main issue is now I need to spend a lot of my time in training for someone new, which means I need to work even more hours to catch up on my own work.
We're making progress, definitely. Having a coach is HIGHLY recommended for anyone that's been in business for too long without having everything running perfectly and it feels like it's still a wandering startup.
The year is 2025... There's going to be such a massive amount of items that a household orders from Amazon, packed so furiously by our robot overlords, that in order to maintain our sanity, and ease the strain of endlessly ordering, receiving, categorizing, putting away, retrieving, and consuming, said items ordered from Amazon, we as a human race will need to acquire robot helpers.
So soon, our houses will be whirring with robots, ordering items, preparing items, and giving us our items, shipped from the Amazon robot assembly line. When one breaks, the others will automatically issue a RMA back to Amazon to return the defective unit, which will be received, repaired, assembled, and shipped again by our robot overlords. This new replacement robot will be automatically delivered, unpackaged, and activated by the already present backup household robots and will immediately join the crew, back where it left off.
And now that the human race finally has food growing, food harvesting, food preparation, construction, health care, and everything else completely automated, us humans can finally sit back, relax, and start to enjoy what we were really put here on Earth to do...
The problem with the 'buyer is always 200% correct' mentality at ebay can screw small sellers. Or if you only sell something once or twice a year. You're better off using craigslist.
I sold a generator head to a guy on ebay, packed the item perfectly, it got delivered without damage and the guy couldn't figure out how to get it working so I got stuck with having paid the shipping out to the other coast AND the seller fee. I had to issue a chargeback to ebay and fight for two weeks to get the seller fee off my account. Just sell larger ticket items ($100+) locally... not worth the hassle. What nerve does ebay have to charge you a fee for an item that's now un-sold and expects you to pay to sell it again. No thank you.
There are loopholes to the 'buyer is always 200% correct' policy as well. I bought some rare LPs on ebay for a friend and one arrived warped and unplayable, they were supposed to be Near Mint A+. So at $125, I damn well wanted my money back. So I had to escalate the issue through three different levels because the buyer refused to provide a refund and return shipping. So ebay's 100% money back guarantee is bullshit, because when ebay forced the refund back to me and I mailed the item back. Ebay does not count shipping and delivery within the time window for returns, so now the seller has my item and ebay deducted the refund back off my account. I immediately unlinked my bank account and blocked all further transactions from ebay. Luckily I had recently sold an expensive item and had $100 in seller fees due on my account. So I refused to pay because ebay still owes me the $125. They suspended my account because of the seller fees and every 'supervisor' I talked to could not credit my account the difference I had lost. So I cut my losses and just refuse to do business with them.
Yeah this is nothing to do with systemD. Try installing crashplan on *any* distro and feel free to notice that it's using the max open file handles.
I believe crashplan uses inotify()... and if you have any decent count of files to be backed up, you'll hit your sysctl limit of open file handles. What we need is a single handle event notification in the linux (like *bsd kqueue) kernel and it would make these apps a lot simpler and less resource intensive.
