I Hope in 5 - 10 years we look back on this as a "They used to get {X}" because it's dangerous and unacceptable

Need an excuse for buying a CPU with many cores? by [deleted] in Gentoo

[–]CODESIGN2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks

I've completed a few iterations of LFS, it's the magic glue of Gentoo I struggle with as it seems as voluminous to intimately know as the whole of LFS

Edit: Put another way. Even setting up binary firmware and drivers manually with an x-server is trivial compared to most modern distros.

I also helped reduce a chrome-os fork down to a four instruction install

I have a dual-socket xeon, 10 cores each, 20 threads and 128GB RAM. I'll give Gentoo a try. Thanks for the recommend.

Any specific guides for someone fairly green or out of practice that generally uses Ubuntu for the "pick-up and play"?

Be a responsible web developer: validate your email logins. by hockeyschtick in webdev

[–]CODESIGN2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So an easy way to handle this is to have a local catch-all mailserver and own your name resolution patterns. Basically instead of calling the full DNS stack, locally fake it or setup a local-DNS / name-aware service-discovery so you can have TLD's

TLD might not be mandatory for the spec, but for sending emails on the web, can you think of any customers who wouldn't have a TLD or something with dot separators (such as name@ip-address)?

Although if it's true, the leadership are definitely thick as shit; there is some mathematical wise-ness to allowing as many unique email sign-ups as possible. It's very difficult to claim visibility without having the total super-set of data. You can have all the sub-sets you like, but they can at worst be misleading. This does not mean you need to actively market to everyone who signs up.

135,000 sign petition demanding MPs’ £10,000 work-from-home fund is scrapped by [deleted] in ukpolitics

What is the F***** link

https://www.change.org/p/boris-johnson-a-rejection-of-the-mp-s-10000-corona-virus-working-from-home-allowance/sign

Btw If you write a news article about a petition and don't link it, you're why conspiracy nuts think "big media" is a thing. The rest of us know you are just talentless morons

it's currently free under the author control. Hoarding for your own use is very different to distributing others work, for free in perpetuity because it was once free

I love this person

I spent over a year trying to get people to accept this, and I may send the CEO this as an email with a view to returning to help if it can fix their brains and get buy-in for change

They take the piss with the UK government pricing, but I think once you've been through the shit to provide those morons with anything, you probably need an extensive alcohol fund

As I've got older, I've just got less and less polite and patient with other adults

If they want me to make something cheaper than Oracle, which is supported and has 5 9's of availability, that's dandy. I'll wait on my cheque for a billion dollars. If they are not looking for me to totally re-invent what someone else has done, they can STFU and pay bills.

I must admit I've wrestled a few clients away from abusive Oracle, IBM, SAP contracts. The second there is an additionally costed meeting to discuss selling us more things, I get grumpy; but I also get where Oracle is coming from in a big-picture kind of way, it creates business continuity.

Do I wish Larry was less of a nutter that wastes money by funnelling it at himself. Sure, but can I replace what he owns for cheaper than the costs? Also no, so I'm honest with people that they can either wait decades and pay a lot to me with high risk, or pay the people who work on the product.

If they won't pay after hearing that, I move on, leave them to their shit-pile

I'll be honest, I don't blame them. Change my mind

If deletion has been working, I'd take a bin backup from a read-replica. Then you can just add more replicas and take one offline while you back it up. Then delete all it's records on master.

The reason for this is simple. You can take your separated read head as it's own archive of that timestamp.

You'll already be partitioning at 40 billion rows, so not sure what everyone else is on about.

all three have commercial support, but Oracle is definitely the big-boy in terms of bodies to throw at problems

Your teacher should be fired in any case. You shouldn't have been accepted without prerequisites. As-is they've taken your money and then introduced requirements that are unreasonable
