I tend to buy aquasonic brushes. They're half or less than Phillips and seem to last longer, and you can put Phillips head on them

Filesystems are either pretty simple or really complex. The old dos FAT filesystem just overwrote the first character of a file name with an omega, and so usually you could just undelete by having a utility that would change the name back, as long as nothing used the blocks.

Modern filesystems are an absolute wonder of spinning wheels inside of spinning wheels allocating ranges of blocks, and then doing bookkeeping to reorganize linked data structures as fast as an SSD can write or as efficiently as possible on spinning rust.

Some log structured filesystems can do special snapshotting either automatically like NetApp ontap or manually like zfs so that when you take a snapshot any further changes preserve a view of that snapshot at a point in time that you can treat like a special directory where you can cd to and copy back out data as it was as long as you have space. Windows supports this kind of functionality with the VSS API if the underlying FS tech supports it.

The downside to these approaches is that they tend to cause fragmentation, can cause a lot of extra space to be used (after all, if you delete a tb, it may be because you meant to and you needed to, so if you mean it, why hasn't it gone away, etc.,) and are a lot of complexity that 99% of the time 99% of the people don't want to think about it or pay for it (pay as in it's slower, uses more space, the complexity leads to more failure modes, etc )

I mean they're there, you just can't see them

It's not entirely outsourced by any means. There is a lot of it. The article is discussing one department that was outsourced, many others are not.

Regarding running their own Linux distro, that probably would be neither cheap or really helpful (which of their vendors would support that vs. some other distro in practice?) but yes, there is a sizeable IT footprint required for such a large place.

They got bought out, and the new owners do less of their own selling and more pass-through for shadier vendors as I understand it.

Yeah, this is complete bullshit. Every bathroom in every home in Brazil has a spray nozzle, at least, to rinse off one's dirty bum.

I recall that it was cathouses in Columbia

That does not look like a molotov.

If I you're using the 24.04 version you're not using gnome, you're using COSMIC. It is much smoother than the gnome-based DE was.

Or chagas. Or chikungunya. Or any of a number of other aegyptus-spread diseases. A species that is not native to most of the world, is not a natural pet of most ecosystems, and which doesn't contribute in any meaningful way to almost any ecosystem in the world.

The work on cosmic is proceeding and as far as I know when cosmic is done, 24.04 will be released. In the mean time 22.04 still gets updates.

As the first boom turned to bust, fuckedcompany.com was a snarky look behind the curtain of the dumb we all built.

Keepass2android works pretty well. I'm not sure for iPhones

We'll it hasn't killed the owner, neighbors, or any nearby ducks. Yet.

I'm not windows expert, but as far as I know, the way to get snapshots on NTFS is via VSS, which is usually going to work by making a block level snapshot that can be mounted independently and used read only. I don't believe NTFS was designed or has been updated to implement the kind of filesystem features that I was describing.

And yes, NTFS is usually slower at a lot of day to day things. It's very sophisticated in some respects, but it's traditionally not strong at dealing with lots of small file operations across lots of files, something that Linux filesystems tend to be good at, especially as e.g. got was written to support kernel development and if there is something that would speed up git that required a filesystem change due to git showing a performance weakness, well, I believe that had precedent

Some compliance measures (PCI DSS 4, HIPAA) mandate encryption in transit and none penalize it, so making any of that easier and less error-prone seems like a step in the right direction.

Sadly most places aren't doing anything worth writing home about, but if this family actually cares then you're very right and they need to learn exactly how the new ingredient will work in their kitchen.

In my experience bromated flour makes dough that I don't like at all, so I'll be glad when that's gone.

A 65w or so PD supply works fine for driving dual 4k monitors and general programming etc. You only need the 180watt+ for using the external gpu

I couldn't use the current alpha as a daily driver because I didn't see a supported/intended way to manage starting and maintaining my ssh-agent upon login. Besides that, it felt good enough that I'd use it for more than a few days if I could.

Well this is the last message on my feed right now, experiencing the symptoms you describe. You are quite the cause vs. effect quandary right now
