nit: Gas-fired steam is the only central heat that is capable of running without electricity, and steam is generally being phased out due to inefficiency. Oil requires pump/blower/spark, hydronic requires the circulator pump, forced air (furnace) requires the blower motor.

Most likely your backup heat is wood and/or a petrol generator. But you definitely have a backup plan to stay warm, as it being cold for months at a time means the question of outages isn't "if" but rather "when".
I don't actually know if my desired end-state is practical or even possible, but I can at least describe what it looks like:

* I pay $10-25 for a movie

* I can then personally view that movie with myself and my family on the display I want (the last hotel I stayed at didn't have a HDCP compatible TV so I couldn't display my purchased film on the TV)

* I am not forced to watch advertisements or piracy warnings before the film

* I can put the film on other devices I own to watch via more convenient methods (my phone, tablet, home theater setup)

Are those requirements fundamental to having a legal system that protects the rights of copyright owners? Honestly I don't think they are! Because the DRM schemes that enable the above situation clearly aren't stopping pirates in the first place. But who knows, maybe there's an alternate universe where content creators allow all the above bullet points and – as a consequence – very few entities invest in creating art! In the end if I had to choose between that universe and the one we have today, I'd still take the one we have today where art is legally well protected enough that we have a plethora of it.

> Counterpoint: alcohol is one of the best drugs on the planet for anyone on the spectrum of introversion to crippling social anxiety.

I completely disagree and I think you should consider the possibility that alcohol is creating your anxiety in the first place. My years-long struggle with social anxiety disappeared after I decided to quit drinking for good.
Yes. There's a reason every early human civilization was located near a body of water. Water is necessary for humans. Clean water. Alcohol also doesn't have a significant disinfecting property until at least 30% ABV. And it wasn't until the middle ages that distilled alcohols became common
The saline solution is basically very harsh to bacteria and other microbes. Besides that, UV cleaning is typically used on those kind of floating tanks.
Everyone knows there's SOME sort of market for NFTs, if you spend your life terminally online, it makes sense that you'd be interested in status symbols for them. Or if you play a game, you'd want items that give you a leg up or have some aesthetic appeal. I can even see a situation like some magic the gathering cards, where an NFT in a particular game could gain value over time if the game has a contingent of diehards and the NFT provides some unique ability.

But the whole thing seems so craven, just like freemium games that south park also skewered, based on taking advantage of some addicts/clout chasers who crave the rush of some digital bits attached to their avatars.

I think universal healthcare might be more popular than most people think. I would consider myself a conservative voter, but I can recognize the good of universal healthcare. Healthcare shouldn't be tied to jobs, and people shouldn't have to bankrupt themselves due to health issues.

A passively cooled Shuttle PC as a firewall (Shuttle Barebone DS10U with an Intel Celeron 4205U, 8GB RAM), running pfSense. This is absolutely overkill, but I'm in control and some Netgate HW would have cost just as much with customs & shipping, and I wanted a "real" firewall behind the cheap plastic crap my ISP forced on me. I might install OPNsense on it sometime.

Unfortunately, the built-in wifi chipset isn't supported by FreeBSD, so I use a CSL AC1200 USB 3.0 wifi stick for that. It works, but sadly only supports running a single network at a time.

Aside from that: Some DLink/Netgear switches and plain old copper.

Yes, especially if the prints are basically free to produce. Artificial scarcity is bullshit we only tolerate because our economic system is built on scarcity.

This is a pretty odd comparison.

Some amount of food/caloric intake is healthy or required. Too much is bad.
Some amount of water intake is healthy or required. Too much is bad.

No amount of arsenic intake is healthy or required. Any is bad.
No amount of alcohol intake is healthy or required. Any is bad.

Too much of many things is bad. Any amount of some things is bad.

Safe may be an odd term for it but alcohols impact on ones health is always a negative. If we define bad as a negative effect on ones health it may be a better term than safe here.

You're expected to drink? For religious reasons? I've found it incredibly easy to stop drinking entirely. Nobody has ever questioned why I don't drink alcohol let alone expect me to drink. I figure there are enough people who don't do for religious/cultural reasons that it would be silly to ask and offensive to expect. Even though I probably don't look like someone who abstains for religious/cultural reasons and only do so for personal reasons.

In practice, there’s often so much complexity that finding a path isn’t all that hard. Some examples:

- abuse the logic flow and simply don’t submit the 2FA step

- submit an empty 2FA token (I’ve seen it work)

- get a signed transaction from a legitimate transfer and replay it in a compromised account

- find the admin API that their help desk uses that doesn’t require 2FA

- brute force 2FA code. If you get 3x attempts at a 6-digit pin you have a 1/333,333 chance. Multiply by a few thousand accounts you can find reused creds for

- Find an API to abuse to disable 2FA (maybe via CSRF?)

- move the money into an account that doesn’t require 2FA (some kind of whitelisted arbitrage account maybe?) then cash out from there

- keep transfers under a 2FA threshold but then either script up the transfer to repeat or change the transfer amount after the threshold check has occurred

>- Flavor

This is obviously not an objective metric of superiority.

>- Fills the stomach (can be a disadvantage too, but is advantageous in some situations, e.g. while waiting for dinner to be served at a party)

Also subjective, as you realize its inconveniences and give one positive use case. In my experience this bloat is largely uncomfortable and inconvenient.

>- Doesn't consume itself (i.e you can set down a drink and come back to it 30 minutes later)

This is only true if you leave something lit that is burning, something I doubt most would do on purpose

>- Easy to consume a small amount without substantially altering your mental state.

Sister comment addresses this well

>- No fire/burn risk

Valid concern, but there are many common ways to consume weed that don't carry that risk

>- Doesn't generate smoke/odor, which is unpleasant for other people and gets in your clothes/furniture

Same as above

Ironically I think the traditions and rituals around alcohol is the best thing it has going for it, on most "objective" measures weed is regarded superior.

Unfortunately the replacement of SOFR is a collateralized rate where as LIBOR is non-collateralized. Adoption of SOFR has been slow because its not 1:1. Plus, LIBOR is not dead yet, still a lot of contracts that need to go through maturity before the rate truly dies.

That's why I'm such a huge proponent of Splunk, by name (and again, no relation, just a very happy user). Because of how easy it makes it to create graphs out of log files, the phrase "Tailing is dead, long live tailing!" is simply not true. After seeing that power of centralized logging, most people I've talked to are converts (except for the cost). And perhaps that's why tailing is still so popular. Deciding to invest and learn yet another language, especially a proprietary one that your next employer may not use, is a hard choice to make, given how much other stuff there is to learn.

In Splunk, something like "sourcetype=your_sourcetype | timechart count by status" gives you a chart of HTTPS statuses (200 vs 404 vs 503) over time. After learning that the language it becomes intuitive and is a really really powerful when trying to analyze logs because a visual graph is just so much better than tailing log files. If your centralized logging tool doesn't give you same access to graphing as Splunk does, I'm sorry but it's not good enough to replace 'tail'. Splunk really is the state of the art here and I've yet to see anything that's competitive. (But tbh, I've not looked very hard - the only downsize with Splunk is its cost once you get over a certain size.)

> Legacy filesystems are supported by the provision of a set of legacy
fs_context operations that build up a list of mount options and then invoke
fs_type->mount() from within the fs_context ->get_tree() operation. This
allows all filesystems to be accessed using fs_context.

And then the description of the function itself:

> Add a parameter to a legacy config. We build up a comma-separated list of options.

It looks to be the second one.

I think it might be for some people, sure, but usually the argument is that things like this are the main driver of NFT sales, which I think is way off the mark.
Yes, gradually building your own config is a much better approach on the long run. Start lean, learn the basics and add one thing at a time as you learn. Always have complete mastery of your .emacs and understand every line: why it is there, what exactly it does. Never blindly copy random stuff wholesale without understanding it.
Yeah, agreed, if the logging agent (or whatever) isn't installed or running yet, it's going to be hard to get the logs into the centralized system.

> That requires intermediate storage as logs are generated, which can fill up (disk or ram, it's all finite).

That's also an argument for centralized logging. Don't store the logs anywhere near your production systems. We've all had the experience where a machine goes down because the disk is full.....due to log files.

"No amount of alcohol is safe, however it's the dose that makes the poison." [1]

"for every 100,000 people who consume one drink per day, 918 will have an alcohol-related problem per year. But if the same 100,000 people drank nothing at all, 914 would still have one of those same problems. That’s only 4 more people per year (per 100,000) who will have a problem that’s attributable to alcohol—that’s tiny. But it’s also not zero." [2]
