This cat is reminding you that every time you smoke a kitten dies.

Catch up on sleep.

Docker is not virtualisation, although it’s a common misconception.

A better way to think of it is a security wrapper around untrusted processes.

You can prove this for yourself by looking at all the processes running in a Docker host while one or more containers are running, you’ll see all the processes listed.

In other words, you don’t need a CPU capable of virtualisation to run Docker.

My “smart” phone is rarely used as a telephone. It’s set to silent, all notifications turned off, blocks unknown numbers, transcribes voicemail and spends most of the day as a window to the world.

I’m not sure what, if anything, a “dumb” phone would add to my life, except more interruption, more administration to keep contacts up to date, and yet another device to charge and maintain.

Who can see?

My observation was based on personal experience after noticing that an account blocked me.

As a point of reference, on Bluesky, it appears that if you’re blocked, you cannot see the account that blocked you. Essentially they just disappeared. They’ve not visible in search either.

So, unless you create another account, they ceased to exist.

Just to be clear, as far as I can tell, this invisibility is mutual as soon as one account blocks the other.

Use a bash command line:

Incoming tenders with prompt injection in … Three … Two … One.

This is what that looks like in real life:

I’ve used the node.js version of argparse, which as I understand it, is a clone of the python implementation and I’ve not seen how to do mutually exclusive flags. Mind you, at the time I didn’t need them, so it wasn’t an issue, but I don’t recall seeing any way to do it either.

Did I miss something?

Plex has been around for a while, long before “capitalism happened” as you put it. At the time it spawned a whole lot of different alternatives, it also triggered how we interact with our media libraries. I recall having to set-up my own server and client before I could start to import and manage my own media. That wasn’t trivial, least of which caused by needing to rip DVD without the high speed access to internet acting as a source.

That is very cool!

Thank you for the suggestion.

In other news … the state of Ohio files for bankruptcy.

Oh boy … very cool.

Now how do I do this in bash?

I agree. I’m a software developer and absolutely love OpenSCAD.

It would be great if it supported things like fillets and chamfers, otherwise I’m very happy with it.

I understand.

I was making a joke about secretly introducing a metric tape measure.

I realise that my sense of humour is not universal, like the use of SAE … or Fahrenheit 😇

You don’t even need a custom one. Readily available is the universal tape measure where the relationship is marked as 2.54 units, equals 1 inch.

It means that a 2 x 4 is actually 5.08 x 10.16, which leaves you with a margin for surfacing and sanding.

Except that this is just not true. If it were, there’d be only one car, one bike, one house, one pair of underpants and one type of food.

Humans love to find something that’s unique, it’s why Starbucks makes a gazillion types of coffee and people choose to buy it there, customised to their level of “uniqueness”, or elsewhere.

There is no one Linux distro and that’s it’s strength.

I’m not a fan of this characterisation of the level of accessibility, but the single largest accessible example of Linux is Android.

After that, most modern TVs run some form of Linux, then there’s embedded Linux in routers and network attached storage devices. IoT hardware is mostly running Linux too, as are most websites and databases for that matter.

In other words, Linux is a hidden operating system that pretty much runs the world without most people ever thinking about it.

If that’s not accessible, then I don’t know what is.
