Likewise, I burned a Debian install DVD about 6 months ago. A FreeBSD install disk about 9 months ago.

Building codes, at least the ones I am aware of, require the light switch inside the room with the light next to the door, similar to how nearly every room you have ever been in. (Everyone knows of exceptions.) This means either corners have been cut, at those switches should control things within the room with the switches.

As the interviewer if attention to detail and following build codes and specifications is important at this company. Is there a culture of safety, or are corners cut that put my life at risk.

How are you handling random 2-Factor challenges to email? (CGP Grey has a story of the DMVs sending codes to his email while physically at the location.)

How many people have a story of needing email while out in the physical world? (Email adoption is still not 100% in the USA, 92.4% in Nov 2023.)

The number of post install steps to de-bloat Win10 is staggering.

Perhaps.

Of course, the creators of the security modules could build tools to help them be used better. Maybe not on first release, but at least after other complain about the difficulty. AppArmor did attempt some tools, and is far better than SELinux. Still not great.

A list of Linux Security Modules is at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Security_Modules

List of Linux Security Modules

AppArmor
Integrity Policy Enforcement (IPE)[6]
Landlock[7][8]
LoadPin[9]
SafeSetID[10]
SELinux
Smack
TOMOYO
Yama[11]

As a long time SysAdmin, but not your SysAdmin, I have used two of these. Both had terrible documentation for which many “must use” paid software vendors advise disabling the Security Module as a first step.

If random software vendors’ lowest paid intern cannot figure out the settings for arbitrary Linux Security Modules, then the first line of the directions will always be to disable the security module. This leads to them not being used in many cases where the security module would be helpful.

I agree with Linus.

Big Tent means having a lot of different opinions present.

These purity tests are counter productive. Stop trying to be “Republicans, but more Left” and be “Progressive, not Regressive”.

theres so many things to do with a pc that i dont know where to start

Pick the first project that you think of and chase it down. If it sucks, then reformat the drive and do something else. Video game systems and file servers are great. So is installing a different OS on each, just to experience the differences side by side.

Do NOT continue “analysis paralysis”.

At some point “the market” …

Oh, we have only private data now. The big firms will be fine and the little guy reduced to serfs.

Anyone know what actually happened to him?

Any statistics for people like this being mugged?

Satan did lead an uprising with a third of the heavenly host. Satan must be pretty convening.

Or you know, Demiurge is a dick.

It has been said that for the outlying regions of the Roman Empire, the collapse only meant that when the unused bridge fell down, no one came to fix it. (Undoubtedly I have garbled it.)

It has also been said “We are a long way from Beijing”, which means the central government is a long way away and don’t know what we are doing and impact our lives little.

Some things will really suck. They will suck far more than I can imagine. We will still have local police and hospitals. Medical care will get worse. There may be less food in the non-agriculture states, but that will be fixed with trade or war.

Lots of people will die. Likely you and I will die.

Some states will link up to make their own countries. Canada may invite some states to join. Same with Mexico (New Mexico maybe…)

Very much a “things I do not control”.

Every groups have a “testing”. Some also have a “production”.

Looking into it, it seems that perhaps it was not notable until recently. This is likely a limitation of my searches and popular understanding. Does anyone know of ancient Greek writing on the subject? (Perhaps I am too quick to discount the trained memorization of bards and storytellers of old, which I understand typically used memorization and not Total Recall?)

Funes the Memorious was written long after the camera was invented.

The Wikipedia pages on Eidetic Memory and Hyperthymesia cover different aspects, but neither cites anything older than “Funes the Memorious”. “Total Recall” is also used for the ability, but also does not appear to have a long history.

Unrelated but fun: ‘Photographic Memory’ The story of how we stored digital photographs

Me too!

And I quickly found out why everyone else had left. (The job after was good though.)

I likely ordered it. So thank the waiter and start eating.

I can read a menu.

Anything than to have to fix my life.

I don’t shower as I don’t want the females to think I am gay. I don’t read, study, or try so I am not a nerd. I work a deadend job to prove I am “self made”. I avoid the “roids”, the gym, and exercising, which saves me so much time.

Another advantage of cookbooks. (There are good ones, but a lot are junk.)

Whoa Whoa.

The story of Noah’s Ark is not about saving animals. It is about surviving a calamity that one saw coming, AND NOT saving more of humanity. This way one and their children can become insanely wealthy, and nearly the only humans.

When one needed an elephant, where did they go? To Noah. Need a chicken? Noah! Need help due to your house washing away, killing you and your family? That’s right, Noah!
