Well, here, when you receive this particular attribute and if you're
vulnerable, your equipment automatically gets disconnected from the
Internet, so the issue kinda solves itself.

@rahuldottech superposition of bed and closet space maybe. idk. More importantly, why was there a pink steven in his belly gem, I wonder? These are the mysteries of life.
I came here to say something about the word 'congrats' reminding me of 'rats from the congo' but the last thing I said was insane enough. Pleasant day to all of you.

Are you talking about not using Network Manager or /etc/network/interfaces?
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
lol
I want to use /etc/network/interfaces
I've converted from netplan (which is badly flawed and completely unfit for purpose IMO on ubunt)
apparently raspberry pi s use DHCPD
hm. I wonder if I actually need to set that system with a static IP on the router too. I shouldn't...
and since I want to use pihole the static IP setting makes sense

> In meetings prior to this incident, subordinates who were probably programmers, technical writers and other professionals repeatedly warned there was a problem. They were ignored. Not only were they ignored they were repeatedly threatened with their jobs if they didn't shut up and start being team players.

The company then went on to hire a 23-year-old "security expert" with no experience becuase he put "Agile" on his resume. The six 45-year-olds with actual experience and demonstrated knowledge and ability were passed over because they were "too old."

Yep,
> Whether in its pure form or mixed with other chemicals, ozone can be harmful to health. When inhaled, ozone can damage the lungs. Relatively low amounts of ozone can cause chest pain, coughing, shortness of breath and lung irritation.

> There are reports that air traffic control are making more mistakes due to the stress and that existing accident reports are not being reviewed. Former intelligence officers are saying that the mixture of economic stress and anger means that many government employees are greater targets for espionage. A lot of Cybersecurity workers are furloughed meaning that many servers and computers are not be getting patched and networks are not getting monitored. The FBI is reporting that it can't afford to pay off its informants which is hindering its investigations. Those are just some of the many …
Goddamn man. What even is that country.

In Windows 7, is it possible to create a symbolic link (or something similar) that supersedes a real folder, to trick a program into writing into a different folder?

Is there anyone here who knows computer French?

We have a technical document that mentions "soccle" or "socle", and we're struggling to understand what it means
Burgi
Burgi
and google translate isn't good enough?
Nzall
Nzall
No, it just translates it to soccle
or rather Pedestal
Burgi
Burgi
15:57
and what is the context?
> place the item on the pedestal
Nzall
Nzall
No, not like that. It's in the context of computer systems
apparently it means something like Baseware, which is a term I have never even heard of
Burgi
Burgi

Might be meaning desk, too

Gray hair at 30? Fine by me.
businessinsider.com/…
And even now, that's fine by me :p
...and that might be flaggable.
Sorry about that.
Regardless... your thoughts on stress, productivity and achievement, and whether it's an appropriate trade-off to make?

Hi guys. In Firefox, can you recommend me an extension that lets me redirect pages with wildcards, so that if I follow a link to one URL I go to another URL instead, and also allows me to temporarily disable or re-enable such a redirection rule easily?
Eg. if I would load a page with url starting with "https://www.dailymotion.com/video/" then I want it to take me to the url starting with "https://www.dailymotion.com/embed/video/" instead, but keep the suffix.
