@hailey @whitequark I'm an oldfashioned linux sysadmin, and I avoid containers and most modern projects as far as I reasonably can because of complexity, performance, and maintenance issues.

Maintaining this mastodon instance is an example of me stepping outside of that comfort zone to experience the modern world, but the experience is kinda shit compared to nice stable software like postfix and bind available from the main repo.

@whitequark @evey I've noticed change in how doctors regular healthcare treats me once I get to the point of talking with reasonably academically phrasing.

@whitequark There is a considerable range of thinking in housecats though, we have one cat who started to sit beside you and pat your leg to be lifted onto the lap after a missed jump and some claws scratching legs hurt his family.

And we have one cat who's grasp of cause and effect is loose at best. She doesn't really like when you go ouch, but you can tell that she's mostly confused by it.

I guess choosing your benchmark period is important in marketing:

@cwebber Adding to this that anything shorter than 6 months is very fast speedrunning of immigration processes.

If you want to leave use the resources you can find and start working on it sooner rather than later.

The ship I had my @PaddelBanditen adventure on this summer:

@MichaelTBacon Oh yes, the era of the mandatory post-patch-cleanup script to avoid RCE via Solaris' horribly old and exploitable sendmail.

Much have changed, now we can trust Debian and Ubuntu to ship security patches to the degree that automated updates is good on (most packages for most) production servers.

@shortridge

@whitequark Yeah, it's tricky, and hard to know if it is old stuff to the people really working on this in UA.

But on the other hand if there is even a 5% chance that this could be a useful way of disabling hundreds of drones, it would be nice if they got it sooner rather than later.

@whitequark
Is it one a few ukrainians might be interested in being tagged into this thread, or are we assuming they are already reading it with interest?

@cwebber Don't wait! Finding a way out that's both legal (you really don't want to get deported back!) and has at most a moderate drop in quality of life (this includes selling possessions to have money in the destination, rather than arriving with empty pockets) will realistically take 6-12 months of hard work.

@cwebber is beautiful and terrible as the Morning and the Night! Fair as the Sea and the Sun and the Snow upon the Mountain! Dreadful as the Storm and the Lightning! Stronger than the foundations of the earth. All shall love her and despair!

@dalias
DNS root is already international in terms of infrastructure.

A split in content would be really harsh to deal with, but dropping the US-owned root servers from roots.hint should be reasonably fast for the majority of resolvers by usage.

The "only" real complications I see are the US-owned browser with the DoH resolving using US companies, and corporate systems being slow to update.

Oops, I thought we had done that upgrade, but I guess my memory is off by one. I'll prioritize it up a bit.

Checked to see if I could go skating out by the cabin, since it was down to -20 and clear last night. I got nice photos though!

@livs_ord Hoppas @pettter kan hjälpa som med ljudlig person än jag, för min del brukar det räcka med att ratta pulse audio control tills alla lämpliga inputs och outputs sitter ihop.

@phil @sahil Even with that taking more of the load, mirror.accum.se / ftp.se.d.o serves over 1TiB/day of debian packages and package lists.

Come work with me!
