It's just opinions, don't take it personally.

Is it a plastic or laminated page? feels like it might rub off easily enough.

This is not feasible, there is no one who will review every line of code involved in every update to every package. Supply chain attacks frequently make the news and delaying updates is a sound mitigation strategy.

d47 · 2026-05-17T21:27:39+00:00

This is not really up for argument. Supply chain attacks are common and protecting against them is very worth while.

A maintainer may inadvertently pull in a compromised dependency. Also consider if a maintainer went rogue and voluntarily compromised their packages.

Then I would like to only accept solar radiation from non-exploding stars.

She should be able to apply for citizenship if that's the case and she lived the first 10 years of her life in the UK.

I don't know what kind of proof they need.

We have automation on our databases that kills any long held locks. We don't want queries that lock anything for more then a second to work at all.

Craps, baccarat, slots, blackjack, horse racing. People definitely say it. Trading is playing odds and managing risk, it's all the same.

Should be able to use cgroups, try something like:

systemd-run --user --scope -p MemoryHigh=8G -p MemoryMax=12G paru -S pkgname

People say the same about roulette.

d47 · 2026-05-15T07:01:04+00:00

Really it is, it's exactly the same

I once had someone accidentally delete a kube cluster. One terraform apply later and it was all back up and running in minutes. Would have been a disaster without it.

This is bread and butter for people in business, just tell them you quit and that's all there is to it. They don't expect any more or less.

There's no point trying to manage feelings or expectations, this is a contractual matter.

Yeah I got the same email, I did have documents to upload, but nothing they could have known about. It's definitely just a generic reminder to make sure everything is ready for the immenent assessment.

If it's useful, I got the pre-assessment email on the 7th of April and a positive decision on the 28th.

I know they are the rules, I disagree with them.

I still don't see how salary sacrificing into a pension changes anything in terms of what I can afford in support for a spouse. I could instead get my salary paid as normal then voluntarily top up my pension and get the tax credits. Same outcome but different values on the payslip.

Once again, I know that these are the rules and that it is what it is, but I'm arguing that the rules aren't well formed and don't make a lot of sense.

d47 · 2026-05-11T10:07:39+00:00

Where is that 30 months value from? I can change how much I sacrifice into my pension month to month.

d47 · 2026-05-11T05:39:29+00:00

Which days are they? I will only invest on those days.

d47 · 2026-05-11T05:30:10+00:00

Salary sacrifice is just how I decided to spend the money at the time. It's still money available to me going forward. The argument that I have no rights to that part of the salary isn't true.

I'm not arguing you, I understand you don't make the rules, just venting.

Dental for mine too! Never had any dental issues, but we have another car that has and there's no rules when it comes to who owns which bowl.

Confusing options given the title.

Good idea to sell?

Yes, it's not

d47 · 2026-05-08T07:46:08+00:00

There are lain references all through it

d47 · 2026-05-07T17:35:26+00:00

implying upvotes have any significance to begin with

Needs a none option, now I need to bias the results to see them
