That's one of the big selling points of Arch Linux for me, personally: They try their very best to avoid various custom patches, etc. This is probably also a big reason that the Arch Wiki is one of the greatest sources of information on configuring anything... for any distribution that doesn't fiddle too much with the upstream packages.
I could remember using FileMaker Pro back in the day for a few systems.
Social media is only winner take all because the platforms are closed. If enough people say no thanks, that will change. The social networks might not need any one person, but they need all of us and a significant but small percentage can make a difference.
Unfortunately animals are not permitted on my allotment (except bees). Also the visiting-every-day requirement might be more of a commitment than I can muster.

But I'm curious, how would the chickens get to the slugs? Don't they have to be kept in a fenced off enclosure, away from the plants - otherwise they would damage young seedlings etc?

We do have a population of toads which I think eat the slugs, but they just don't eat enough of them! And the local cats, in turn, seem to be quite interested in eating the toads...
> These are neither true nor false in a factual sense. They are untestable.

Being untestable puts a statement outside the scope of science. It does not, however, mean the statement is neither true nor false (only that we cannot, through experiment, seek to improve our knowledge of whether it is true), nor does it mean the question is uninteresting or irrelevant.
Every competent FTP client I can think of can also handle SFTP and FTPS connections. With SFTP it's just a matter of telling the client that's what you're using so it can change to the different port; with FTPS you don't even have to do that.

It's true that people resist change, but the change they have to swallow here is so tiny and the upside so massive that it's darn close to malpractice to continue giving them the option to use plaintext FTP.
I wrote a guide a while back that may be of some help:

Yes, it's possible to have a dream about my family that's in part caused by my actual family members. But the dream parents are not my actual parents, and a pencil in water is not an actual broken pencil. This highlights one meaning of "illusion."

From these sorts of examples, we can conclude that whatever we think we are experiencing might not be what we are actually experiencing -- but crucially, not that we are therefore not experiencing anything whatsoever. The visual experience of a broken pencil doesn't stop happening just because you know it's not really a broken pencil. It keeps happening but means something else.

If you are dead honest with yourself, and drop all your metaphysics for a moment, you will discover that various things certainly seem to be happening (sights, sounds, thoughts, etc.). Try it right now! This "sheer fact" deserves an explanation, and though logical and metaphysical games can produce the explanation "there's nothing there to explain," many people don't consider that any kind of explanation. (Furthermore, I hypothesize that for those that do consider it a valid explanation, spending more time in that "dead honest" state, where there's minimal conceptualization of one's experience, will slowly eat away at their confidence in the usefulness of the "explanation." Conversely, thinking harder and harder about it may indeed bolster it.)

> iCloud is not secure. That's an accepted fact by now.

Is it? (accepted as fact)
Yes, Dropbox uses encryption in transit and at rest, and security would certainly a top priority for any custodian of that much data. Dropbox is an industry leader, and in many ways sets the course for the entire industry to follow in this regard.

The issue with Dropbox is that they also have access to your encryption keys, which means they can easily decrypt and access your files, at their discretion.

According to Drew Houston (Dropbox CEO), they need access to your files to offer features like search, to be able to better understand how you're using the service, ability to integrate with third-parties, and for law enforcement. Some of these "trade-offs" are mentioned by Mr. Houston himself in this interview when responding to criticism from Edward Snowden a few years ago:
https://techcrunch.com/2014/11/04/dropboxs-drew-houston-resp...

More to the point, giving Dropbox (and their affiliates and trusted third-parties) permission to access to your files is a key provision of the Dropbox terms of service:

Our Services also provide you with features like photo thumbnails, document previews, commenting, easy sorting, editing, sharing and searching. These and other features may require our systems to access, store and scan Your Stuff. You give us permission to do those things, and this permission extends to our affiliates and trusted third parties we work with.

https://www.dropbox.com/terms

As Mr. Houston said in the article referenced above, if you want better encryption there are alternatives.

I run the demo miner on the coinhive landing page for about 1 minute and chose 1 thread (my laptop has 4 threads). I then noticed that the 100% cpu load kept rotating between the 4 threads that my cpu has. Is this a common behavior in cpu mining (because of cpu pipelining) or is this a feature that the developer implemented? How does this affect the cpu performance and general work load? Is it possible to edit the script to target 50% cpu usage on all threads? Please excuse my ignorance.
I would add back in the customization as others have suggested, but I would also make it mobile friendly.

I thought the way they re-did it was a really bad call, it seemed optimized for desktop in an era where everything was going mobile.
If Skype dies we basically have no alternative. Sure, you got Slack, Hangouts, Teams (as you mention), the new Atlassian thing etc. but that's mainly for group efforts or for a company setting. Skype isn't used just by businesses. I mainly use Skype for videocalls with friends and family, usually one-on-one, and for that we have zero replacements.

Slack is just not a thing for this use case, same for all the other collaborative tools. Hangouts delivers subpar video quality and decent audio quality (if we ignore the fact that it hasn't been working on Firefox for a while). Appear.in glitches and lags a lot, sometimes to the point that is not usable. Signal would be great, video and audio quality are amazing on mobile, but there's no desktop client (apart from a Chrome extension that can't really be called a desktop client). WhatsApp video quality is very poor while audio tends to be decent, but once again, no desktop client (there's an in-browser web app with no support for video calls). Skype too, is fine on desktop, but it's a huge resource hogger and consequently battery drainer on mobile (the only non-game app that manages to warm the back case of my Android phone).

So yeah, future doesn't look great. I am hoping in GNU/Ring, but who knows...
you must not work in enterprise space. so much FTP, its sickening..
I liked to leave a file in the top level public ftp directory called "README" that contained just the line:

Somebody once emailed me complaining they couldn't read that file. I told them to run "emacs README" because emacs could solve any problem. Never heard back!

Kinda sad to use old VMware and old Xubuntu...
I recommend openSUSE Leap. Very good distribution. It's mostly based on their enterprise server one so the stability should be very good. Also, the OS partition (not data) is using btrfs and there's a snapshot after each package upgrade so if there's a problem, you can boot (and restore) a previous snapshot :)
You can short ETH on some trading websites such us eToro or Plus500 which in my opinion are not really great.
A really high risk move would be to register on 1broker which is a CDF broker where deposits are done in BTC. There you can short BTC if you like. I would surely not leave any amount in that broker for a long time

Another way of shorting is to get an ETH loan from someone, covert it to $ and then wait for ETH to fall. When it does you can buy more ETH, pay back the loan and keep the profit.
> In a dream, none of the phenomena I experience (colored blobs moving about) correspond to any facts about an external reality.

I think it does. Unless you seriously think you dream before you've ever had a single experience? Dreams are memory mashups.

> When you're having a dream, it is all an illusion (of the first kind), but to conclude that you are therefore not experiencing anything whatsoever and thus there's nothing to explain would be a grave mistake.

I've already acknowledged that humans "experience" things, in a colloquial sense.

What's left to explain is whether it's possible to capture what we term "experience" using third-person objective facts. We still need an account of how this happens, so there's plenty left to explain.

> The top 1% are playing political games

This is the thing that absolutely flummoxes me about the "game." Most gamers are geeks, but most geeks I've known into have little patience for political games. Yet, here's one of the most-successful and longest-running MMOPG's, and it's -- from what I can gather -- almost entirely political. I just can't wrap my head around it. I even have a hard time reading these post-mortems. The whole business seems to cater to some sub-sub-sub category of geek that doesn't lie in the direction of Myers-Briggs IN?? types. Does anyone know what those types might be? (All discussion of the usefulness or accuracy of these categories aside.)

How to Get FREE WIFI ANYWHERE
Unlike the Lumia, Nexus/Pixel is a tiny percentage of the ecosystem, and not representative of the state of Android. And if you're looking to get away from Google as this thread is discussing, buying a $600 phone directly from them seems like moving in the wrong direction. Note that while I do carry a Lumia (the last one that works on Verizon), Microsoft gives equal direct support to phones made by other manufacturers, such as Acer, Alcatel, and HP, whom all receive the same updates at the exact same time.

Another security argument for Windows Mobile is actually that while flaws are regularly found and patched in the code due to the shared codebase with Windows desktop, it has a significantly reduced attack surface compared to Windows 10 proper. Nobody invests resources into developing exploits for Windows 10 Mobile, so it's exceedingly unlikely for any to be out there. Security by obscurity is not something you should rely on (I rely on monthly patches), but it does help.

Blaming OEMs for Android's update woes relies on some significant misconceptions. First and foremost, every OEM that ships Android devices with Google Play has to sign an agreement binding them to a truly incredible number of terms for how the platform operates and what is on the phone (this is known as the Google MADA). This spans everything from requiring Google's approval to release products to which apps must be preinstalled and set as default on each new device. If Google wished to control updates, they would.

Bear in mind that many OEMs offer stock Android or as close to stock Android as possible: If Google was willing to handle updates directly for Android devices, at least a few OEMs would've opted in already. The reality is that creating and testing releases for Android devices is an expensive proposition that Google wants no part in. The way Android devices update was designed and developed by Google, and the position that Google is not responsible for it seems indefensible.

Focus on learning the fundamentals of Computer Science, the rest of the decisions, you will make them later when you have enough data. Learn to program. Don't learn a specific programming language. Learning a new programming language is easy when you know the fundamentals of programming. Focus on learning the concepts, not the implementations. Don't focus on the tools. New ones always come and go, but fundamentals rarely changes.

While writing this comment, I was reminded of a verse in the bible that tells Chrstians to 'seek the kingdom of God first and the rest will follow'.
I've been thinking about similar things in the context of a basic income. If we were to just pass a law and guarantee a significant basic income I think it would have disastrous effects and fail miserably. A guaranteed income is a good goal, but before we do that we need to figure out how to replace meaningful employment with other meaningful activities. People need a purpose.

If we can alter our culture and separate a person's purpose from their employment, then we might be able to get to a Star Trek future. If I can get anything I want from a replicator in the wall, what are my incentives to still better myself and work towards something?

As Your Company Evolves, What Happens to Employees Who Don’t?
Very true, yeah.
I would say my solution is borderline. It requires maybe one or two extra reads to grok in its entirety due to multiple conditionals, one of which is in a loop and the other outside. Here's a more readable version for someone looking at it the first time, or who is not too used to Python:

OUTPUTS = [(3, 'Fizz'), (5, 'Buzz'), (7, 'Bar')]
def fizzbuzz(i):
result = ''
for x, word in OUTPUTS:
if i % x == 0:
result += word
return result or str(i)

Even the final `or` could be broken out to an `if not`, but in this case it's so simple I prefer putting it together, much like a coalescing operator.

And then for shits and giggles we can say screw it and put it all in one line:

print '\n'.join(''.join(word for x, word in [(3, 'Fizz'), (5, 'Buzz'), (7, 'Bar')] if i % x == 0) or str(i) for i in xrange(1, 101))
Surely it's a similar problem to MS. "Reining in the beast" so to speak.

Corporations, any for-profit corporation, are all by their nature (if you can call it that) for the express purpose of making money in their raw functioning. It would take a purposeful, active measure to sway the actions a corporate body would take (or should take).

Not saying MS is an innocent party in the slightest.

It's really pretty true. It's very hard for me to adapt to DDG style of searching. A comment I said recently highlights one specific area:

Those who use DDG, do you miss dates in results? Having a date present definitely helps me think about the results:

https://www.google.com/search?q=dcss+branch+order

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=dcss+branch+order

This isn't a case where I _know_ I only want 2017 results, and so I do the syntax to filter it down automatically.
I want all results, but I want to be aware of the timeline of whatever I'm going to click.
This list is mediocre. You want people to switch and recommend a paid service? Good luck!
For e-mail, outlook.com is a much better alternative. It has a modern interface and spam filtering works reasonably well. Yes, you get tracked by MS instead of another company, but at least you can use your e-mail account without worrying about payments. (Yes, I've used FastMail and I think it's great.)
To be fair, most places taht say "FTP" the files are at least running SFTP. It's still a bad solution for an API, but it's not quite that bad.

Correct, Chrome OS is a Linux-based distribution. I believe it is/was based on Gentoo although I may be misremembering that.
Avidemux is a great tool, but it would require creating a second file I believe.

My workflow is usually to use Avidemux to do a rough trim of a clip (e.g., to take a five minute clip and trim it down to about a minute with the interesting parts in it) and get it into the format I want, then I use Kdenlive for the finer work.

They are all player formed.

Another interesting aspect is that almost every in-game item is "player manufactured" by mining raw materials, refining those materials, using those refined materials to make items from blueprints, then sell those items to other players.

Each step in that cycle requires specialized skill trees, so it's usually not one person that does it all.

They don't really have NPC shops and inventory is just what people are making and selling. "What to make" is itself informed by buyer demand and everything from raw material to finished items has a market set price.

> It must take considerable effort to maintain oblivion to the tide of ethnic slanders from certain quarters over the last couple of years.

Quite the opposite; it takes tremendous effort to infer racism where none obviously exists. In particular, millions of people are violating the law even with its severe penalties, suggesting that the penalties aren't severe enough. Banning hispanics from entering the US by any means is racist, banning immigrants of any nationality from entering the U.S. illegally is, by definition, not racist. Anyone who suggests otherwise doesn't have the slightest idea what "racism" means.

Of course, opposing illegal immigration doesn't mean that someone isn't racist; it simply isn't evidence (much less 'proof') of racism.
