@secure: Are you using netfilter or nftables for the firewall / NAT services?

Accord to Backblaze the retention period is thirty days for the personal plan [1]. Where do you see six months? If a file is deleted on the source device, and the deletion is synchronized to the BB repository, the recovery window is 30 days.

The other point to remember is BB is not for archiving. BB states this itself. At least with external drives it is possible to archive.

The Chinese recognize race within its borders[1], additionally it may be of interest to the scorer to know who is Hui, Tibetan, or Uyghur.[2]. I don't support this I'm just noting that China is not racially homogenous.

It's nice to see a port of mininet to OpenBSD despite mininet's marriage to Linux namespaces. Great work! I last used OpenBSD 2.3 with ipfilter as a firewall, but I still track the release schedule.

I thought the real IOS was from company with the bridge logo that rhymes with Crisco lard, especially since IBM iSeries is just a renamed AS/400 - OS/400 from 2006.

I really like the proxy domain registration offered by Njalla. https://njal.la/ With it, there's no need for hiding from WHOIS.

When I'm short on time I do the following routine that I got from my wife's fitness mag:

3 sets of 12 reps descending / ascending of:

* frog jumps - plank pushups

* reverse lunge with overhead press - spiderman crawls

* burpees - leg raise sit ups

Eg: do 12 reps of of frog jumps and one rep of pushups, then immediately do 11 reps of frog jumps and 2 reps of pushups, etc down to 1 rep of frog jumps and 12 reps of pushup. NO resting in between. When done, take a two minute rest, then immediately start the next set. The key to this routine is not resting, and maintaining good form. It offers me a great burning sensation when I do it correctly, and I'm done in less than 25 minutes flat.

Do I assume that 'get good numbers' meant the company had massive expenses, and sloppy accounting, so it didn't have a clear and understandable balance sheet? In my case, the company has excellent accounting principles, but sales managers that don't know the difference between sales and gross sales.

This. I work for a retail sales company that has many different business units that have different financial statement formats. I wrote a daily report that harmonizes the disparate financial statements, creating a consistent view across all units, and then highlight various sales and expense categories. It has grown to include forecasting and goal tracking, and in my opinion is easy to understand, yet to this day unit managers will contact me with basic questions regarding sales vs gross profit. How they got into the position where they run a $1.5M/month sales operation is beyond me...

I second Sikuli and recommend Sikuli-X. In the end though the company I work for wanted to use a corporate supported solution so I now use UiPath. It is allowing us to automate repetitive tasks in a Win32 application that uses shdocvw.dll as the shell for Silverlight components, and an embedded TTY emulator among other things. Pointing Spy++ at it revealed an almost infinite event model. Automating with Windows handles just wasn't possible, so the OCR of both Sikuli and UiPath came in handy.

Could you use PiHole and OpenVPN to accomplish what you want at your parents'place? https://www.reddit.com/r/pihole/comments/48zp16/pihole_and_v...

I know a car dealership that had a customer attempt to purchase a vehicle with a cheque drawn on a currency called RA, or something similar. The customer said that they were paying the sum of $30,000 in comparable spiritual RA. Would you have taken the cheque?

To what DevOps platform is this a reference to? "and we get the unholy love child of netware and windows 'net' command replacing networking infrastructure management"

If you live in an area with reasonably priced electricity and access to plentiful water. I lived in Honduras for 3 years (2009 - 2012) and laundry consumed far too much of my time because water in the community came twice per week, and electricity was expensive. I had a cistern which was connected to the water main, and I installed a floating shut off valve so that I could leave the valve open to fill with water when it came without notice and invariably I was out working. I couldn't afford a dryer due to high cost of electricity and I was volunteering without any spare income during that period so I had to wash and dry clothes on sunny days. There were people in the community that still washed clothes by hand using a scrub board and I know that they spent many hours weekly on it.

I tried it, and I'm disappointed that it doesn't include nmap fingerprinting to determine the OS type. Perhaps that is a paid for feature.

It's a compiled binary (PE). I've read through numerous books on PowerShell and I don't see its value in comparison to using any other .Net language. All namespaces in PowerShell are available in C#/VB/blah so why deal with the annoyance of ensuring that the client has not only the required version of .Net Framework/Core installed, but also the PowerShell interpreter version too? Perhaps it's because PowerShell doesn't require a compiled binary so it can be modified and run without an extra step, and it allows for easy add-ins with the cmdlet interface.

I concur. For me personally, PowerShell's dependency on the .Net Framework just makes me write what I need in C# and then deploy to clients using GP. In my environment the client computers don't have a consistent .Net version which follows that they don't have a consistent PS version installed either. For a recent data collection program it was faster and easier to write it in C# and target .Net V2 then to fiddle with PS, and its execution policy https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4037939/powershell-says-...

Excuse my late reply. Not open and free like Edmunds was. I have used Chrome and Unhaggle and both have very rich data sources, but also very rich subscriptions.

I love it. Back to basics for Apple designers.

I experienced this when I lived in Honduras, C.A. Avocados from Mexico and indigenous Honduran avocados cost the same as Canada, my country of origin. It was a shock to me as I immediately thought of the locals, however for a number of them they have their own trees that bear fruits/vegetables for them allowing them to bypass purchasing these food items.

Interesting; Jeff Atwood of Coding Horror/Stackoverflow/Discourse forces swap creation as part of the installation of Discourse as a Docker container. He prefers slow performance to OOM. https://meta.discourse.org/t/create-a-swapfile-for-your-linu...

LJ generously offered me two options as a subscriber with issues owed: 1. "In true community spirit, Linux Pro Magazine has offered our subscribers six free issues of their magazine, a publication we at Linux Journal have always admired. In our time of need, they were the first ones there for us, and we are thankful for their gracious offer." 2. "We also just finished up our 2017 archive today, which includes every issue we’ve ever published, including the first and last ones. Normally we sell that for $25, but obviously you will get it for no cost."

Is this what khuey is referring to?: https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX136003

An art professor instructed me that black pigment paint was to be avoided as it makes the image look flat. Rather, a black-like colour is to be built in layers of darkening shades. I could see this applying to graphic layout with multiple colours, but I'm not sure if it fits for printed type.

Much obliged. I will look to see if this can be extended to provide logical groups of users for the same resource.

I searched the documentation URL with Google for the word "tenant" and it returned no results. Does this mean that Anvil does not support multitenancy, for SaaS sites?

I hadn't seen that clip before. Well played, and thank you!

You all know that language is notorious for co-opting words and phrases from other languages, without necessarily bringing the original meaning or tradition. E.g. In Spanish the phrase ojalá is used to respond to a question with an optimistic 'I hope so!'. It is derived from the Arabic "ma sha allah" meaning if God wills it, and yet I doubt many a Spaniard cares that they are invoking the title of the Muslim God. Heck, a lot of the Spaniards that I know have the last name Matamoro which basically means that someone in their ancestry was given that name because they killed Moors, and while my acquaintances find the thought of killing revolting, they don't change their name.
