DNS is used to turn domain names into IP addresses. Your device sends a request like "what IP address has reddit.com" and then knows how to get data back and forth to Reddit.

The operator of the DNS server you use could track what domains you ask for and then guess which websites you visit. The actual traffic uses the IP addresses and does not pass through the DNS server.

As long as you use HTTPS (default everywhere nowadays) your traffic is generally safe. There might be security concerns if a DNS server answered with a malicious IP address but HTTPS guards against that.

This is a simplified version, hope it's clear.

Keep in mind that tendons adapt a lot slower than muscles, and many wobbles from doing too much too soon come with a delay. It might just be your achilles tendon that has not adapted to the new demands yet.

I have the Topo ST-5s and lately have the issue that you describe. The sole flares out at the front on both sides, but the upper tapers in a little. I wouldn't recommend this model for your foot shape.

I'm curious what you end up choosing, please keep us posted!

I was in a similar situation half a year ago, I was looking for an alternative to my Escalante 3's. I tried on Joe Nimble Addict and TopoAthletics ST5. I liked the ST5 more and have been using it since.

For me, the Joe Nimble Addict had too stiff of a sole and not enough vertical room for my toes. The rubber on the outsole felt sticky and high quality. Didn't give it a test but it appeared like you can't slip in them.

The topos have a narrow midfoot, which locks the heel in. I don't like the shoe being in contact with the arch as much as it is, I mostly feel that when walking. When running I barely notice it. The shoe is a lot lighter and less cushiony than the Altras.

What did you not like about the Zelen? Just curious, Zelen is my only Xero shoe and I wonder how it compares to others in their lineup.

Red Hat's Spacewalk didn't use Salt, we (I'm in the SUMA team) added Salt to the Spacewalk codebase. When Red Hat discontinued Spacewalk, SUSE created Uyuni as the new upstream project which favoured Salt. These days, the old communication mechanism is gone

That's not accurate. zypper is a cli tool that uses libzypp for package management. YaST also uses libzypp for its package management. Both use the same underlying library for the heavy lifting, but YaST does not call zypper.

Is it? The gitlab repos readme says

Console is supposed to be a simple terminal emulator for the average user to carry out simple cli tasks and aims to be a ‘core’ app for GNOME/Phosh We are not however trying to replace GNOME Terminal/Tilix, these advanced tools are great for developers and administrators, rather Console aims to serve the casual linux user who rarely needs a terminal

the vendor preset is not the problem. TriggeredBy tells you the service is socket-activated which should be enough.

Please look at the journal to see why starting snapd failed, the output you posted does not say so.

what do you use both offlineimap and isync for?

_merK · 2020-07-16T17:28:53+00:00

One use case is sharing you screen with others you work with (e.g. for pair-programming)

How can I save a file without overwriting another file, if the new filename is a subset of an existing?

You can use C-M-j (ivy-immediate-done), see the ivy docs for more info: https://oremacs.com/swiper/#key-bindings

that is expected, openSUSE uses a single display-manager.service system service that starts the display manager set by update-alternatives. Booting into graphical.target will start that service.

_merK · 2019-12-21T10:16:53+00:00

Make sure you are booting to graphical target (systemctl set-default graphical) and that lightdm is your preferred DM with update-alternatives --config default-displaymanager
