There are probably newer ones that come with LiPos. But every consumer grade one I’ve seen is traditional lead acid batteries.

…(it is kinda like a bomb after all)…

WAT? I’ve never heard a UPS referred to as “kinda like a bomb” before.

Keep your UPS maintained, replace the batteries when they age out, and it will be fine. If your UPS supports automated self-tests, use them.

My employer has UPS units spread all over the region we operate in, and we don’t have any issues, despite leaving them mostly unattended for years. I have several in my house and I’ve never given them a second thought aside from battery replacements.

My VPN app took a shit in the middle of a download and I think it exposed my IP to some “anti-piracy” bullshit firm that contacted my ISP.

I think you answered your own question.

I use it for my work mail. I can’t speak to their privacy, but I think it’s ok. So far as I know they haven’t done anything stupid, and all the connections are only from my device, no cloud intermediary.

I do like that it allows you to only apply the ActiveSync policies to the app instead of the entire device. If my employer remote wipes my device, it only impacts the app.

Yes, back in the early 00s. We toyed with making a net-bootable image with it for our computer labs, but it was really not practical. It definitely taught me a ton about systems, though.

I admit, I’m not a big fan of putting more functionality into systemd (or just of systemd in general), but that is a well-reasoned argument for having sudo live in the init system.

Apple ][e, it became “mine” in 90 after we moved. It’s still at my sister’s house, needs anew drive cable (we think). I bought a P2 350MHz a few years later so I could do something useful…those were the days…

First phone was (I think) a Razr, in 03. My dad was more than happy to buy me a phone so he wasn’t worried about me driving back and forth from college.

I did see another report that it’s just a component in Edge. Unfortunately I don’t have that link handy right now.

There’s basically nothing categorical that can’t run on Linux…

From a desktop standpoint, I agree. From a business server infrastructure standpoint, I disagree completely. We run tons of software that doesn’t run on Linux. Maybe there are alternatives, but there are other aspects in play (integrations with other services, vendor pricing, etc).

It’s not just desktops that people worry about.

That doesn’t make it right.

And not everyone can dump Windows for Linux. We run a lot of software that requires Windows. Changing is impractical if not impossible.

We’ve heard about some companies being charged 67x their previous years prices to renew. How is that not an unwarranted complaint?

We’re looking at a 3 to 4x increase in price, and while that’s not horrible, that’s still a lot. We’re looking at alternatives, because at the end of the day, those prices are too high. And they’re not the only ones raising prices by exorbitant amounts.

Same, and agreed. I don’t listen to much, but it’s been very nice.

Zelda 2.

It’s divisive, but I like it. I have fond memories of playing that game with my dad when I was young. When we reached the great palace, I died so quickly that he once got up early and started playing at 5am to farm extra lives for me. I went into the palace with 26 extra lives.

…I didn’t die at all on that run.

I still play it about once per year. In fact, I just finished it again about a week ago. I want to play the remade fan game, I just haven’t had time to sit and get it setup.

Is that it’s update check?

I finished setting up my deck the day before the lawsuit was announced. I should probably make a backup of my SD card where I installed everything…

Mozilla seized an opportunity to bring trustworthy AI into Firefox, largely driven by the Fakespot acquisition and the product integration work that followed. Additionally, finding great content is still a critical use case for the internet. Therefore, as part of the changes today, we will be bringing together Pocket, Content, and the AI/ML teams supporting content with the Firefox Organization.

emphasis mine

How do you interpret that?

I read the man page, but I didn’t see the answer to your question in there.

I am assuming that it would only dump the root filesystem in your example. Other mounted filesystems like /home or /media, if they’re separate filesystems, probably aren’t included. You’d have to run a separate dump for each one.

Best option to find out is to try it and see what happens. No better way to learn than by doing.

Holy shit.

We’ve invested heavily in vSAN over the past few years, and use or are looking at a few of those tools. I guess ‘were looking at’ is a better term now.

You had a good run, VMware, but apparently it’s fucking over now.

Playing devil’s advocate…

Wisconsin, being gerrymandered beyond belief, forces the university to play the game or risk even more retaliation from the legislature. I don’t know if that’s what’s happening here, but I can see it as a possibility. Also likely that they don’t want to upset donors, etc. At the end of the day, they are looking out for their pocketbook, like always.

Read the error again. It’s journalctl.
