This whole thing was already played out on the TV series “The West Wing”, and I’m fairly sure that Aaron Sorkin got it from somewhere else.

This cat is reminding you that every time you smoke a kitten dies.

Catch up on sleep.

I have asked for sources when a post makes an extraordinary claim. It’s rare that I get anything meaningful as a response, but often I learn something or both of us do.

Docker is not virtualisation, although it’s a common misconception.

A better way to think of it is a security wrapper around untrusted processes.

You can prove this for yourself by looking at all the processes running in a Docker host while one or more containers are running, you’ll see all the processes listed.

In other words, you don’t need a CPU capable of virtualisation to run Docker.

Who can see?

My observation was based on personal experience after noticing that an account blocked me.

As a point of reference, on Bluesky, it appears that if you’re blocked, you cannot see the account that blocked you. Essentially they just disappeared. They’ve not visible in search either.

So, unless you create another account, they ceased to exist.

Just to be clear, as far as I can tell, this invisibility is mutual as soon as one account blocks the other.

Use a bash command line:

At best it’s a way to see the world and experience new things, at worst it’s sex slavery.

I’d be extremely careful, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

I suspect that the answer depends entirely on who reports on it first. By the time the rest of the world has had time to catch up, the tone is already set.

For a related concept, consider the use of the phrase “domestic terrorism”.

It’s just you.

I moved country as a way to see the world. I left Nederland and started with Australia because I had an Australian passport. I was going to give it a year. I worked six months, was unemployed for 18, then got a three day gig that lasted for six and a half years.

That move was 35 years ago. I’m still in Australia. In the meantime I met my partner, travelled around the country for five years and started my own business 26 years ago.

I visited Nederland four years in, but it didn’t feel like home.

It took many years for this to feel like home, from time to time I’d love to hug my family, but never felt homesick, I love watching YouTube videos of places where I grew up. I’ll visit the local Dutch Shop to remember smells and tastes and to bullshit in Dutch, but otherwise I’ll be doing my Aussie life.

I was born here, but grew up in Nederland.

This is what that looks like in real life:

So … if you’re not allowed to announce that, is it okay to alert the community that you need to let fluffy off the chain, drop off the kids at the pool, dig for gold or need to go see a man about a horse?

Plex has been around for a while, long before “capitalism happened” as you put it. At the time it spawned a whole lot of different alternatives, it also triggered how we interact with our media libraries. I recall having to set-up my own server and client before I could start to import and manage my own media. That wasn’t trivial, least of which caused by needing to rip DVD without the high speed access to internet acting as a source.

I understand.

I was making a joke about secretly introducing a metric tape measure.

I realise that my sense of humour is not universal, like the use of SAE … or Fahrenheit 😇

You don’t even need a custom one. Readily available is the universal tape measure where the relationship is marked as 2.54 units, equals 1 inch.

It means that a 2 x 4 is actually 5.08 x 10.16, which leaves you with a margin for surfacing and sanding.

Well that deteriorated quickly from oops to premeditated environmental vandalism.

I’m guessing that at one point the water was frozen.
