Either ambient instrumental music (lots of Brian Eno) or any music that I know all the words to (so that my brain doesn’t have to actively process the lyrics).

Man, that’s one fucked up looking guitar…

If it wasn’t an infosec issue (because no math rocks), it would be an opsec or comsec issue. We’re the weak link unfortunately.

Bummer. The '\?' prefix will work regardless of registry setting, though it’s a pain to remember each time.

You can also enable long paths in w10/11 (30,000+ characters). Instructions are here:

Can’t you work around that with the extended length prefix of \\?\ (\\?\C:\whateverlongpathhere\)? Though admittedly, it is a pain in the ass to use.

Agreed. For an example of station id happening at slightly off times, listen to a live sports broadcast (like baseball). Due to the shorter time between pitches, station id will instead happen between batters, which won’t line up with any given time.

Same thing with hockey, where radio station id will happen when the clock stops.

“Maximum Overdrive” for me.

Also, great call on Megaforce.

Are kids still even taught the three Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle)? I was always taught that they were listed in order of importance, but that seems to conflict with modern capitalism.

For anyone in RHEL / Fedora land (or using dnf somewhere else), try dnf needs-restarting to list executables that have mismatched files on disk vs memory. The -r flag will hint if a reboot is needed (due to things like kernel or glibc changes)

It’s slowly coming back to me… There was a floppy disk that you needed to launch the raid config? Also the platform ran pretty well with debian 4.0 if you’re debating what to run on it.

For a non-pizza comment: I’ve been out of the hardware game for awhile, but the last time I had to set one of these up for RAID, the paper manual (which can probably be found digitally) was helpful. I also vaguely recall RAID 5 either having issues or being unavailable.

The gate crew often gets graded on how quickly they complete boarding, so don’t be surprised when your plane’s “full” overhead compartments are half empty. Stupid job metrics strike again.

The Forever War - Joe Haldeman A fantastic novel on the pointlessness of war, told through the lens of space opera / sci-fi

I do, several hours per day. Wireless headphones might are okay in short stints, but I really like my wired ones (Sony MDRs, which will probably outlast me)

Not everything normally needs to be saved. However, in this case it looks like the court ordered them to preserve data during discovery and they did not comply. From the article:

Pichai, and many other employees, also testified they did not change the auto-delete setting even after they were made aware of their legal obligation to preserve evidence.

This reminds me a little of “A Tale in the Desert”.

It is possible that you have a bad infosec team; however, it is more likely that they need to meet outdated compliance goals (SOC 2 comes to mind here).

Infosec is unfortunately a tricky balancing act of compliance, security, and usability.

Cable Internet / DOCSIS splits bandwidth in a way that greatly prioritizes download over upload.

In the elementary school Indiana history class (4th grade) it was even a part of the curriculum* to learn where were are in the US.

We were taught that the Northwest Territory became what is now called the Midwest (the area east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio rivers).
