The German pronunciation would be pretty close to "zooza", so the pronunciation in that video isn't German, and a German accent would hinder you from pronouncing it that way (in German you can't have the /s/ sound at the beginning of a word followed by a vowel). Either way, "sooza" and "zooza" are not exactly hard for English speakers: they're just completely non-inferrable from the "SUSE" spelling.

It is Gabs right to, but not a responsibility to block content they find objectionable on their platform. And the first amendment clearly defines our RIGHT (note:defines, not gives) to say whatever we want, no matter how distasteful some may think it.

There are like at least 3 different mainstream ways to "log in" to a web server, and all of them are more straightforward than FTP's insane mainframe-era control-channel/data-channel design.

Seems weird to claim Red Hat failed. Even if their revenue is tiny compared to Microsoft or Amazon they are still on a chart measuring market cap by billions of dollars.
Even if 10% of employees like their jobs, that's still a market of 10 million people. If somehow this extension could reach them all and bring 1 cent a month per user to it's creator, that's still 1M$ a year for what's probably a week-end project. Not too bad.

And if it end up reaching 1% of this market that's still 10k$ a year.

So, hey, good job doing this !

> This is what the next generation of init systems brought. Not just systemd

Exactly! I'm not saying that it's unique to systemd, just that it's useful. I expect many next-gen init systems will be implementing many similar features to systemd.

> This is just cgroups, a function of the kernel, not systemd

And Docker resource control is just cgroups too. Doesn't mean it's not much much easier to use. The value of systemd's resource control options is that it comes with a constraint solver and sets up the cgroups to satisfy your desires. If you have many services all with their own caps it becomes very annoying to figure out how to set up the ratios of CPU shares.

> Automount, existed for 15 years at this point.

And it's been super flaky for 15 years. Would you rather edit automount maps or just say, "hey when this path is first accessed, mount it."

> Polkit

Huh? Polkit 100% cannot do this. This is the ability to set and deny Linux capabilities to services. systemd is actually providing something very unique here which as of yet doesn't exist outside systemd.

The userspace tools for capabilities allow you to set them on files so that when you exec them they have (or are denied) the capabilities you set. But what about an interpreted program like python or node? You probably don't want to set CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE on all node processes, just your web server.

Systemd makes this very easy by starting a service as root, dropping capabilies to match your directives then execing the service. Nothing magic but something very few tools let you do. Someone could write a tool for this but it's doesn't exist anywhere in my repos.

> You know they adopted a boot loader for this right?

Look I know it's gummyboot. Gummyboot is great. Just because it's now systemd-boot doesn't make it any less good. In fact it makes it better since the userspace tooling systemd added greatly improved the experience using it.

> What does this mean?

Downloading updates to apply, rebooting into a minimal environment to apply them, and then rebooting back into your system. It's a very slick implementation.

> Why forget about things that work?

Drastically reduced complexity and attack surface because timesyncd focuses entirely on being a client.

> Same as cgroups again.

Yes they use cgroups under the hood. Tell me how to, from a shell, run an arbitrary process capped at 30% CPU and 128M of memory that's easier than

systemd-run -t -p MemoryMax=128M -p CPUQuota=30% my-process

> LXC or in a real pinch, cgroups + chroot.

Right, but systemd is providing the tooling to make it easy package and run services like this.

> Polkit. This is what polkit was designed for.

Polkit literally cannot do this. Tell me how to make a user $service exist only while $service is running.

Adding to your point, there is whole generation of people who think 'freedom of speech' also means entitlement to get an audience.

You can see this phenomenon in Indian right wing Twitter accounts, the talk is like: Don't I have freedom of speech? Why don't people listen to what I say? Why am I being deprived of audience?

And like you said many people have a hard time coming to terms when faced with fact that 'freedom of speech' only gives you the freedom to talk, as such no immunity is provided for the consequences of the speech. This leads to all sorts of crazy situations, for example: Many people give like hate inciting speech to create a riot, and almost act like they indulged in a great tradition of democracy.

On the very long term, things like 'freedom of speech', only make sense when they become a force for good. Another common abuse is comedians, cartoonists etc, in full conscious creating mischief and expect people to just happily put up with it.
Note that IBM is buying every last Redhat share here, so of course it has to pay more than the price for "just one more" share.

That's not weird. It's a bit much as these things go, but 20-30% over the share price would not raise any eyebrows.
I think one of the keys to understanding math, and to a lesser but still significant extent, physics history is to remember what you believed as a child, and how you struggled with the concepts taught to you. And that's even with a math curriculum designed to lead you to modern math. (One can debate how effective it is at that, but that's a separate topic.) Those misconceptions we had as children are pretty fundamental to the human wetware. Even today, with centuries of refinement and educational advancement, really only a small fraction of people come away from school with the ability to think truly mathematically.

For instance, even "just" negative numbers is a fairly counterintuitive concept. Despite how they may seem universal today, they actually didn't pop up in all that many cultures historically before their current line. And that story gets repeated over and over for all sorts of developments. It takes time for fields of study to process and abstract these things, because they weren't just handed it on a silver platter in school.

(To the extent that that doesn't seem to be the case today, I'd say that as we have become more and more mathematically sophisticated and the area of mathematical inquiry exponentially increases, the dominant factor 'holding back' math today is our inability to cover territory. Today nobody can completely cover a major discipline before the next generation is already coming in with fresh brains. That's a relatively recent development.)

I’ve always found forums to be really helpful when searching for a topic but these days when compared to a voting system, forums feel dead or slow to update. I get that the voting system of get to the top is toxic and typically produces poor content but it does seem to work to an extent (for example HN).

I guess maybe forums feel a bit too heavy duty with all of the additional user stuff built into the stream of replies instead of having to click them.

What if HN didn’t show a number of votes and all the topics ranked based on invisible votes? I wonder if a system that’s more simple like that would carry over to forums to make them feel more modern but true to their roots?

Biggest addition I can make, as someone who has to prep for hurricane season every year:

If you don't have a filter -- and even if you do, depending on what your water sources are -- be aware of how much water your planned foodstuffs will consume. Stuff like dried pasta and flour holds very well, but also consumes a pretty large amount of water to get to a usable state. Canned beans and vegetables and such come with their own water in the package, so they don't use your stores.

EDIT: Don't forget that energy will also be constrained, not just water! Presoak your dried beans and pasta to drastically reduce the amount of energy necessary to cook them.

No, this is the problem with media representations of preppers. It's a massive overgeneralization to say that preppers "seem to be far more obsessed with guns than with clean water, sanitation, and heating."

With that said, the reality is that clean water, sanitation, and heating are pretty darn boring. It's like prepping 101 to have some available water, a shovel, and a barbecue or a fireplace or a basement to keep warm. If preppers do seem to you (apart from media misrepresentation) to focus more on guns, it's likely because they're long past having basics like food and water taken care of, and guns are more varied than any of the other basic needs.

Every place is different, and maybe guns are less important in your country, but they're very important during collapses in America, whether we want the world to be that way or not. Look back on the social breakdowns in America over the past--the LA riots come to mind--and look at how locals used guns to defend their stores and homes from looting. And those looters were just rioting; they weren't hungry or fighting for survival.

They don't necessarily conflict. People like to put other people into boxes. This person Sells. This person Develops. This per Designs. This person Manages. You are expected to be awesome at just your box, spend all your time in just that box, and above all else, to never leave your box.

If your experience is in "I do a lot of everything, really well at much of it". Then you have lots of valuable knowledge and skills, but those skills look terrible on a CV.

In practice, you could be 80% of an entire standalone product or service, you would make most companies a good chunk of money. But on your CV, you look like a part-time Junior Dev and part-time Junior Designer and part-time Junior Manager, etc. That's not a fair reading at all, but that's what ~90% of companies will assume.

---

We don't really have a word for people who can be responsible for and execute well on a most/all of a product or service. (I wish we did, because that's my history to-date, and my CV could really use a word for it).

So, when a person like this tries to apply for a job, they often have a far rougher time than you'd expect. These folks have to essentially eject a different 60% of their value for every job they apply to, which hurts them significantly in hiring/recruiting despite being an advantage when doing actual work.

As far as I can tell, the only real end-goal for people like this, is to work at a small boutique consulting firm, or open their own product houses / development studios / consulting firms. Because the majority of companies simply don't value this approach.

On real systems, TOTP secrets are long random strings (the Golang TOTP library, for instance, draws 20 random bytes from urandom). You can't brute-force them.

There are libraries (looking at you, Ruby) with interfaces that ask callers for secrets, and have demo code passing intelligible strings through. You don't need hashcat to know the problem there. There is no reason at all for a TOTP secret to be anything but 128+ bits of cryptographic randomness.

>> "Regardless, if we don't have them parents will think we're behind the times and the reputation and parent satisfaction will fall."

In a previous life, I worked at quite a few schools (public and private) as a consultant. How the parents would react and what they thought was always priority number 1. The second priority was how the students would react, because if they reacted negatively, then the parents would inevitably get involved. I've seen this from K-12 from all over the US.

I also have had a lot of teachers and administration say that their biggest issue was making sure the parents were happy with everything. A few even said that it didn't matter what the kids thought, as long as their parents thought one way or the other.

/not every school is like this so ymmv, but a depressingly large amount was. This was 5 years ago, but I really doubt anything has changed.
