I have been using Jitsi since the start of lockdowns. It works very well and has a very active development. The install instructions were pretty straight forward and I had it up in less than an hour on a base Vultr Debian vm.

> The shift to plastic, as I understand, mostly has to do with freight economics: glass is heavier and more fragile.

Having tried to do online pasta sauce, I can confirm glass is expensive to ship. 6 jars cost us $30USD to ship and some would break. We insured the shipment and made more on the broken reships than a normal sale.

Why in the absolute hell does a static site need docker? I don't get it, it is not that hard to properly configure software.

Probably not a human level extinction event, but a lot of life that we depend on might not make it.

> Why are they even storing messages and metadata to begin with?

The money is in the metadata

It is a valid objection. The cost of SAR resources is high and should not be wasted on repeated ill conceived ideas. This is his 4th or 5th attempt.

Thr outdoor scenes in the first ten seconds are in my old apartment complex. We were out of town when it was shot. I am good Friends with the guy in the blue hat at 4:24, he is friends with 'bubble boy', his words. He thinks he is nuts too.

This made me sad.

> ... because the spike protein was already "solved" ahead of the pandemic. ... The mRNA sequence was ready in January 2020, the rest was just manufacturing, testing and distribution.

Could I get some more context on this or a direction to start researching?

I feel this would be great information to share with the vax hesitate crowd. I have heard a few people say the vaccines are too new and not tested enough.

This is not always the case, split-tunneling is a standard config option. I setup my clients this way most of the time. Only, corporate assets get the client and they are checked for a/v and firewall on connection.

In 1996 I went back to college for an MIS degree. I was switching from technical entertainment, audio engineer mostly for TV, theatre, concerts. That fall I got a gig as a help desk tech for one of the medical school departments. Working IT with doctors in the 90's was, entertaining ... Very smart people that couldn't deal with the complexity of a pc and Windows 95.

The next summer a friend asked if I could get him an account on the University's VMS system. I didn't think that was a good idea so I went in search of an alternative. Several tries later and I have been a Debian user ever since.

In early 1998 I parleyed that gig into a staff sysadmin role with the department after I hired my boss. Used that to move states and started into my fastest career growth year, 1998, with a 347% pay increase over 4 roles. Ended the year as a network/server group supervisor and Solaris admin. It has been a fun trip since.

The foot-in-the-door moment was in the fall of 1996. I was in the lecture portion of an Intro to Computers required freshman course. This was my third go at college and things had changed since I went a few years before. The lecture was on the history of computing and the lab was how to use MS Word. I happened to have been reading a computer history book and was firing off answers to the Profs questions as quick as he could ask them. He stopped mid-sentence and asked me if I wanted a job. Luckily I followed up.

> I don't understand how pneumatic tubes may be used to reclaim memory.

Yep, I thought the same thing when I read the title.

> There is considerable information back from the 80s to suggest that the US war on drugs was actually a system to enable racial discrimination.

I believe it was started as a voter disenfranchisement effort by the Nixon Administration.

> Indeed I provide no references here because it is quite an involved topic and difficult to prove given the publicly available information.

Agreed, as I have none either.

Might be cheaper to break the lease. Most have out clauses, mine is 2 months rent.

> It seems to pass faster as you get older.

I equate this to each year being a smaller period of your overall time. When you turned 5 a year was 20% of your life, at 50 it is 2%. Perceptually that is huge.

> files that lie scattered around various, obfuscatedly-shared directories, with absolutely zero ability to find the thing you KNOW is "out there" somewhere.

This is why I promote wiki's whenever I can. Locking data up in files makes it nearly useless.

Hello neighbor!

The latency will kill you.

Might need to add a 0 to those numbers.

This reads like a Blade Runner quote.

I don't agree. Adding braces all the time leads to a more cognitive association of what is the variable. IMHO, this leads to better script writing and ease, in my case, of transitioning to other languages. Not so much because of the braces, but of the context of a variable.

If that makes any sense at all.

While I agree with the criticism of Redhat, Oracle's behavior was shitty. I'll have remember this next time I land on a "Support Contract Only" Redhat knowledge base page. Oracle is just a bully.

I always hit the comments first.

I almost said this to a friend who is, hopefully, visiting in May. I changed "back to normal" to "the new normal". I think there is going to be a fundamental shift in how societies operate.

I would check with the club. Most tests in the US are administered by clubs, but you don't hav to join them to take it.

> The whole point of stuffing boxes was to contain water in damage like this.

That is not the point of stuffing boxes. They keep water out when the shaft is not turning and lubricate the the shaft with sea water when it is. A grounding can bend the shaft easily letting lots of water in.

Good 30' boats aren't that expensive. We got our 43' sailboat for $49k, needed a little work, but moved aboard for 4 years.

The hut on a spar idea doesn't appeal to me at all. Boats provided mobility, are well established tech, and have legal protections.
