lugged··on Authenticated Boot and Disk Encryption on Linux
(slightly) slower boot time. Risk of data loss if your USB fails, more complicated backup procedures.
lugged··on Authenticated Boot and Disk Encryption on Linux
Does this matter?

I once went through the waste of time of getting /boot encrypted. Would rather avoid needless pain.

lugged··on AWS Region Coming to New Zealand
Same as it is for all the other regions?

Supply < demand. Why is this even a question?

lugged··on AWS Region Coming to New Zealand
You make this sound like some kind of achievment.
lugged··on Lab-grown meat may never be cost-competitive enough to displace traditional meat
Good.
lugged··on Reading code is a skill (2020)
I use code reviews in interviews for a similar reason.

If they're not able to critique the code and explain what it's doing, why it's changing, and what a better option might be they're going to struggle working in our environment where code reviews are emphasized as a huge part of the SDLC and not just the rubber stamp at the end.

lugged··on Amazon says it’s permanently banned 600 Chinese brands for review fraud
Revenue is a laggard metric. Amazon's sideways share price should be more eye opening.

Who said they haven't?
lugged··on U.S. court upholds dismissal of lawsuit against NSA on 'state secrets' grounds
How are voters being suppressed? That link was... lacking in detail. Yes it says voters rights are suppressed, but doesn't actually explain why or how.

Do you even know?

Because I've heard this racist story before.

Lol, people are moving to Texas in droves.

Texas isn't the state with the tyranny.

lugged··on Facebook to target harmful coordination by real accounts
Why not neither?

Why do we afford Facebook the right to decide for us at all?

lugged··on A search engine that favors text-heavy sites and punishes modern web design
Was that ever in doubt?
lugged··on Epik Registrar Hacked
Yea but if your cleaners left the house unlocked they're liable for the damage.

But anyway, I wasn't talking about who's liable, I was simply stating the fact that those developers were criminally negligent.

lugged··on Epik Registrar Hacked
Big fash, ok, little fash bad. Gotcha.
lugged··on Epik Registrar Hacked
They used md5 as a password hash with no salt. The only ones that deserve jail time is those developers.
lugged··on The Buffett Indicator
Does usage of this account for money supply variation?

If you're printing away the value of a dollar this will inevitably get larger no matter what.

lugged··on Pentagon retakes control of IP addresses it moved in last minutes of presidency
Is this a Mac thing? You're not meant to use DNS fallback for different providers.
lugged··on How to Replace Docker with Podman on a Mac
I'm not the one claiming my system is the perfect dev machine.
lugged··on How to Replace Docker with Podman on a Mac
Wow, Mac users put up with some bullshit to avoid configuration and have things "just [sometimes, unless you're holding it wrong] work"
lugged··on TikTok overtakes YouTube for average watch time in US and UK
Considering the US education system is already hell bent on turning out communists I don't really see how China could do anything worse.
lugged··on Who Owns the US National Debt?
Cutting the military isn't really an option like that. They're the largest employer of people in the country.

You'd create mass unemployment of young people to pay out the unemployment of old people.

lugged··on Melatonin: Much More Than You Wanted to Know (2018)
Try full spectrum CBD if you're in lucky enough position to access it.

Helped me get enough sleep that my anxiety and ADD became 10x moreanageable. (ADD meds don't work for me, they blow up my anxiety.)

lugged··on Prevent duplicate cron job running
cron is a lot nicer imo. All your schedules are in one place and everyone knows how to access it.
lugged··on Apple Delays Rollout of Child Safety Features
I get it, but we're not going to do it to make them sad. We'll be doing it because their product sucks.
lugged··on RNA breakthrough creates crops that can grow 50 percent more potatoes, rice
I really wonder sometimes how much is human selection on purpose and how much is human selection by simply finding the bigger crops easier to forage.

Guessing it's a bit of both.

lugged··on RNA breakthrough creates crops that can grow 50 percent more potatoes, rice
No dig market gardens and jadam techniques are spreading. I'm not really that worried about stuff like this.
lugged··on Apple Delays Rollout of Child Safety Features
Between this and the docker desktop bs we're talking about moving around a thousand apple laptop purchases a year over to Linux.
lugged··on How to Study Effectively
I'm dyslexic, lecturers talk to fast for me to notetske anything other than utter scribbles in the margins. That's why I like have the slides in advance I can add to them as I listen. Actively listening is how I do most of my learning, I didnt really reread notes (much) or do any extra study before exams. (Again, dyslexia put me off reading (for a long time) although I did manage to read some textbooks ok but it took a lot)
lugged··on How to Study Effectively
Doesn't the lecturer give out notes ahead of time?

I used to just print them out and then highlight or make my own notes over top of the printed slides to make sure I was internalizing it.

lugged··on Docker Desktop no longer free for large companies
They have core problems open from years ago they just ignore. This is their normal mode of operation.
