  • Would wrapping a house in giant Saran wrap to prepare for a hurricane be a really good idea, or a really bad one?

    Jump

  • Does wood still catch fire? I'm fine if I never have another house fire.

    Thus, concrete and steel for me.

  • Graham Platner Could Be the Bellwether of a New US Populism

    Jump

  • Do we have a time machine? No? Then we can't make a better choice for primary than him anymore. That's it.

    Is he better than Susan Collins?

    That's the vote. A or B. Decide which, between those two options only you'd hate the least, and vote the vote.

    Is he imperfect? Yes. But now he's only competing against Ms Collins.

  • Pentagon chief sounds 'alarm' over China's buildup, urges allies to boost defence spend

  • spend

    spendING. Who let the used car salesmen in here?

  • "You can't out train a bad diet" and "you can't out earn bad spending habits" what are some other true clichés along the same lines as these?

    Jump

  • There's actually a saying about that: "penny-wise and pound-foolish."

  • Sci-fi RTS ZeroSpace combines StarCraft with Mass Effect RPG choices and look, they've got a Homeworld guy doing the mechs

    It's a hyphen, Skippy. Learn to use it.

  • Countries outside of the US are sick and tired of paying for what they see as untrustworthy American-dominated software-as-a-service (SaaS).

    SJVn is so hit-and-miss for tech clue, but this resonated.

    Canada is a country outside of the US. Can we get on the notion of independence and digital sovereignty yet, or are we still gonna chain our junk flotilla to this Titanic? And when it goes down, will Millhouse still be complaining about how slow we sink?

  • Canada slips into technical recession as economy stalls in Q1: StatCan

    Jump

  • Damn. Maybe poliestre was right, and we should have given the money to rich bastards instead to get some of the scraps from that table.

  • Reading "The Left Hand of Darkness" by Le Guin, did she forget about the singular "they" while writing this?

    Jump

  • "it was cool before so let's keep doing it" can't do all the heavy lifting here. You need something else.

  • Iran has won the war. Trump and Netanyahu now face a reckoning

    Jump

  • "War does not determine who is right. It only determines who is left."

  • How privatisation is ruining your life and putting the UK out of step with the modern world

    Jump

  • Not necessarily privatisation in general.

    Oh, I think it's both, in such a case, because - and this is just logic - when the organization providing a human service is beholden first to shareholders and the salary needs of big CEOs, the service provided to the people suffers in that back seat.

    This has been proved repeatedly and consistently.

    Farmers in Iowa are struggling in Trump’s economy, but many say they still support him

  • start growing your own food people

    I've been reminded that we're not allowed to grow food people. I've been told that people are not a food crop, for people or for animals, and that eating them is both wrong and potentially dangerous because yo momma is a mad cow.

  • Newsom to impose 100% tax on California payees of Trump’s $1.8bn fund

    Jump

  • Proceeds of crime, people. It's not a tax: it's simple confiscation.

  • What reasons do people have for disliking SELinux?

    Jump

  • Absolutely this.

    33 years in Linux, 30+ professionally, Unix+Linux security background in a past life at a fucking distro.

    When I first install a new distro version, I do something very simple; maybe I configure a simple web page, for instance.

    Usually the web server refuses to start, or something equally "so dumb it should have been seen in early testing and doesn't even get to the challenge I set before it" stupid. If the distro can't test something so basic, then I know they're not prepared to consider selinux implications while maintaining or debugging the distro. I don't need to blaze a trail the distro can't be arsed to.

    Then I mod away the config in my template and hope the distro can pull out their proverbial head in 5 years.

    The easiest path needs to be the safest path

  • Do you stay on vpn 24/7 or turn it on whenever you need it?

    Jump

  • My day job periodically kills the VPN. I reconnect when next I notice it. It stays on for like 3 days at a time.

    But, since I need it for the day job, the answer to your question is "yes" as in both.

  • US law enforcement warns of “anti-tech extremism” as AI hatred grows

    Jump

  • It's funny how Ai is trying to lump itself into a datacenters-in-general issue or a general tech issue. It's neither.

    It's not anti-tech: it's anti-Ai .
