@juliobiason grep -l for the exit status, then cat the listed files ?

Should I put my printer server directly on the Internet ? Asking for a friend ...

@clacke I had a university shell/email account that got similarly disabled on short notice 15 years after creation. That was no fun.

@clacke flashbacks to my German language class and trying to pronounce „ jetzt “. And the Italian guy who did so with 4 syllables 😹

Signal Is More Than Encrypted Messaging.

If you go by their budget, it's primarily a metadata collection project, building a giant database linking social networks by mobile phone number

@vampiress Wait until it happens in the country you live in

@clacke @Takiro There's a bit more than that in Revelations, but yeah it's mostly European fanfic

@kaia It's like someone tried to describe a pretzel with words alone

@clacke I'm conceiving of it as a wine cocktail, like a kir or similar. Probably not something I'd make a habit of, but something I'd try once for sure 👹

@GossiTheDog Can you translate from Microsoft? Does this mean that corporate users will be able to turn it on/off individually, or will it be up to the IT department

@clacke Heh, my first exposure to that was in the context of triumphalism about having fixed Y2K in time

@clacke Well now I want to know what meme!

@clacke Janet Reno the mass murderer ?

@fitheach @clacke Been writing OCaml on a Linux desktop off and on since before 2003 🙃

@clacke I don't think I'd want to live somewhere without good markets. I think I bought 10kg of fruit and vegetables at the market today!

@loke Completely unsurprising, honestly. Since it became clear that Facebook/Meta are a key bit of the US military spy apparatus, he's gotten behind their "targeting". He's a pretty hardcore militarist right-wing Democratic Party shill, after all.

@loke @ianbetteridge The idea that data protection is something people should have a right to have, for free, is certainly at odds with his belief that Apple is selling a right to privacy with their products (and that this is a good thing)
