They analysis shows that, were the last election fought on the new constituency boundaries, the Conservative majority would be 14 seats larger. It also reveals that the swing to Labour required for the party to achieve an overall majority increases by 0.7 percentage points from 12.0 to 12.7.
So this is less representative. However, you’d be hard pushed to find anything that really looks like clear gerrymandering.
Absolutely true that this isn’t covered enough - the cuts were massive. They’ve also only been topped up by increases to regressive council tax, so it’s yet another way the Tories are worsening inequality through tax.
But the important question at the end - what the next, presumably Labour, government will do about it - seems unanswerable. It’s not just that Labour are now allergic to saying they’ll spend money. It’s also that paying debt interest is now a significant expense due to higher interest rates and our economy is barely growing, so taking on government debt no longer makes financial sense.
The Tories have done the opposite of fixing the roof while the sun was shining - they neither reduced public sector debt nor did they reinforce our services by investing cheap money into them. Now we’re left with the consequences and I don’t see how anyone can fix it.
Shouldn’t the engineer be a bit more worried if the cable’s been cut?
If UDP drops packets it’s probably nothing. If TCP drops packets it’s because something’s actually wrong.
If you’re using TCP and losing packets you should be panicking though, because something is very wrong…
An overarching principle of security is that of minimum privilege: everything (every process, every person) should have the minimum privileges it needs to do what it does, and where possible, that privilege should be explicitly granted temporarily and then dropped.
This means that any issue: a security breach or a mistake can’t access or break anything except whatever the component or person who had the issue could access or break, and that that access is minimal.
Suppose that you hit a page which exploits the https://www.hkcert.org/security-bulletin/mozilla-firefox-remote-code-execution-vulnerability_20230913 vulnerability in Firefox, or one like it, allowing remote code execution. If Firefox is running as root, the remote attacker now completely controls that machine. If you have SSH keys to other servers on there, they are all compromised. Your personal data could be encrypted for ransom. Anything that server manages, such as a TV or smart home equipment, could be manipulated arbitrarily, and possibly destroyed.
The same is true for any piece of software you use, because this is a general principle. Most distributions I believe don’t let you ssh in as root for that reason.
In short: don’t log in to anything as root; log in as a regular user and use sudo to temporarily perform administrator actions.
P.S. your description of the situation shows you don’t know the nature of vulnerabilities and security - if you’re running servers then this is something you should learn more about in short order.
you could instead do:
dcl() { docker container ls -aq -f name="$1" }
in bashrc or wherever you’re setting this up.
The fact that support for independence refuses to clear 45% (not 50% unless you cherry pick one or two polls) even while the Westminster government is busy tearing itself apart on a daily basis is indicative.
I do wonder if, when the SNP loses badly, the same people will be out declaring that X% of people voted for parties opposed to independence!
Why create the function _dcl()?
Pick your battles…
I guess the Tory tactic on independence of delay and deny may well work
Must be time for a new Linux audio system. The pipewire-pulseaudio-ALSA stack of compatibility layers is old hat already.
I remember looking into the situation with non-destructive editing about… 20 years ago. I wonder how long it’s been a desired feature!
If you’re hosting it, prepare to get sued out of existence!
And here I was typing out iso-8859-1 like a scrub to make sure I wasn’t misremembering the encoding when doing the analogous thing in python…
Their employees have failed Unicode college >:(
They don’t have anything to do with alphabets in theory of computation…
So… UTF-8 interpreted as ISO-8859-1? You have failed Unicode college >:(
I don’t think a good response to " breaks " is to say "yes, because was designed to work with and hasn’t been updated to use ". Part of the task of replacing something old - onerous though it be - is to provide a smooth route to support old programs and functionality.
Wayland deliberately broke everything, but then was rolled out prematurely at least on some distros, before giving the vast X ecosystem enough time (which was guaranteed to be a long time, due to how large and entrenched it was) to update. Besides which, the “OUTDATED” post has an awful lot of things you acknowledge are still issues!
Do you mean you want separate sets of workspaces on each monitor and to be able to switch through them independently? Just having “workspace 1 on monitor 1 and workspace 2 on monitor 2” sounds no different than the default behaviour with no extra workspaces.
Yes? That’s why loans with collateral charge a lower interest rate than unsecured loans.
