That’s a normal price for semi-decent chicken.

Here, the price for a normal, decent chicken is 22 to 26 euros. It gets you a bird that has lived a normal life, has been outside most of its life, hasn’t been injected with weird shit, has eaten normally and has led a regular chicken life. That’s if you buy direct from the producer though (through the many ways to get stuff directly). Otherwise, you can possibly double the price.


This seems normal for western Europe. Meat prices will range from roughly 4 to 55 euros per kilo, ranging fro shitty chicken to prime beef cuts.







The backslash is known as an escape character in this context, because it removes (escapes) the special meaning of the following character.

It’s also used that way in most Unix shells.



There are versions of OS/2 or BeOS that might fit his style. Although they’re called something else nowadays.


I thought devops was a way to get a guy to do a whole team’s job by giving him a silly title.


Can’t the master kill all slaves and childs (processes)? It’s in the manual!




If you’re noy in very high resolution, it makes sense.


I’m glad they picked something simple and obvious 😌


A lot of people don’t know that you don’t have to use your software full screen. Weird but true.



In truth, I’m going to have to deal with a shitload of new stuff. I’m going with a Dell or Supermicro server (as in rackable server) with between 8 and 16 disks, so I’m also going to have to deal with new hardware (I suppose everyone kind of has to, since they’re not running their usual software). And of course, I’m also doing HomeAssistant stuff on top of that, with all the Zigbee (or whatever other proper protocols I can stick on MTQQ) stuff, or else where would the fun be.

It’s a good thing I’ve been managing Unix stuff for decades (not that it makes me feel any better about juggling a dozen new things at the same time).


ZFS is already a handful. I’m not sure if I want to add encryption on top of that.


Bold of you to assume sysadmins can wield a 5lb mallet. (I’m not completely sure what that is in real world weight, 2 ½ kg?).


I’m still in the planning stage of my home network (we’re redoing the whole place so I’m doing a proper network) and TrueNas will be at the centre of it. So far, I’m not considering encryption (my laptops have /home encrypted though).

I’m not sure what the risk of a Disney raid on my server is. It could be a real thing, or not. It really depends on many things.

However, all in all, the lack of a proper solution for a quick server wipe beyond the usual thermite load, is problematic.


In an enterprise setting, it’s probably a bit of a hassle with everything having to follow some kind of process…


You take the disk out, drill once through it (use a metal bit).

Done.

Takes a couple minutes.


“Users will let us know if something is really broken, then we’ll see if it’s worth fixing”


It’s synced between a number of machines via a cloud provider. Not sure which one. So there’s a faint risk of having the online archive expised, as those things do happen on occasion.


Good security with easy recovery! Amazing!

My father does that by adding pepper in his password manager. And having a shitty one word master password. The whole thing is both needlessly convoluted and poorly secured. It’s fucking atrocious.






There’s also things like grav or other simple flat file (and generally db less) tools.





Linux absolutely had a GUI. It ran X just fine. I know because it was my desktop at the time.





Pretty much from the same era. Either you learned how to teach your computer to do stuff or you were stuck with an expensive paperweight.
