@nixCraft I swear some sites have this. Just an hour ago I tried to log into a website using my password manager: incorrect username/password. I went to a different page and hit login there. Got brought to the same login screen, but it let me in just fine this time! How did the #Linux systems administrator find true love? .... They grep'd for it. π€ Freenginx: Core Nginx developer announces fork. More info https://mailman.nginx.org/pipermail/nginx-devel/2024-February/K5IC6VYO2PB7N4HRP2FUQIBIBCGP4WAU.html and https://freenginx.org/ @nixCraft Someone posted this earlier on another thread about this. A Git implementation in AWK for #Linux and #Unix: Modern AWK is capable of a lot more than one-liners. This is a toy project to explore some of the internals of Git and newer features of GNU AWK.

I did exactly that before. $job: "We're enforcing MDM to use Slack on phones" Everyone: "Ok, when do our company phones arrive?" $job: "Yeah, we didn't really plan to do that at all" Everyone: *uninstalls Slack* That weekend, large outage. I had my laptop dock/hub break, and applied for a replacement, and was denied because supposedly that's not approved for work-from-home employees. I told my employer that I wouldn't use my external monitors or mouse because they didn't provide methods to use those with my USB-C only laptop. They decided that giving me a replacement dock/hub was in their best interest. @nixCraft funnily enough i worked for a company that was entirely remote but we were explicitly banned from working off the clock to comply with labor regulations this meant if someone called in sick, they weren't tasked with finding a replacement. in fact, no one was. because we didn't call people when they weren't working. we just overstaffed a touch and if it ended up being a bit too much overstaffed we offered voluntary undertime and usually someone would be happy to take it Human Resources (HR) is not your friend at all. They exist to protect companies' interests. Always remember that.

@nixCraft That became obvious when they switched the name of the department from "Personnel" to HR. As in, Tools.

@nixCraft Machine Learning requires an objective function that you are optimizing. This is known as 'test driven development'.

@nixCraft Iβve been a long-time #Safari (on macOS) and #Konqueror then #Epiphany (on Linux) user because I favor small and standard-compliant engines. And because Safari is so much more battery efficient. However, there are always web tools that donβt work - mostly things like Zoom, Teams, etc. Those I use with #Chrome which has better options for screen sharing, recording, etc. - but I want to switch to #Firefox now because I donβt trust Google anymore. @nixCraft 99% #Firefox user. For a few sites wie where it does not work well, I use #ungoogled #chromium. I generally use Brave, but Firefox is also on my machines as a solid alternative. This wrench can get infected by ransomware. DRILLCRYPT, to be precise. Essential for precision manufacturing, the Bosch device can be exploited with no authentication, disrupting an entire factory floor. Torque values can be subtly changed to cause chaos in an assembly line. 23 vulnerabilities were discovered by researchers at Nozomi, which malicious actors can form into an attack chain resulting in production line stoppage. https://x.com/lauriewired/status/1744770156205850809?s=46

@nixCraft WHY IS THERE PEOPLE???
@nixCraft Even as a developer I'd say they should have made a setup.py or a pyproject.toml since it's a Python program, but they don't have any of these.
@nixCraft Textbook example of why you don't steer end users to a Github page. Github may be great for tech people and devs organizing a project, but the UI/UX is possibly the worst fscking thing for any regular person who doesn't know how to navigate Github.
Make a separate project page and put your binary releases on it for those people. If you're putting out software for end-users, you have to understand that audience.
