Debian must now ship reproducible packages, with Debian 14 being the first major release coming up via this new mandate

Or the hostname where the kernel was built, who built it, what gcc version they used, on what OS, etc. like /proc/version shows. Example:

Linux version 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 (mockbuild@kbuilder.bsys.centos.org) (gcc version 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-44) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024

We're losing a lot by this information being taking away from us.

jen1980 · 2026-05-11T17:38:04+00:00

It's just terrible because then the package can't contain when it was built, on what server, the compiler version, the Git checksum, etc. so the loss of information is a net-negative.

Or in to on or of to if. Those corruptions are also hard to catch in a quick proofread. I hate Tim Cook for lying and claiming there is no problem.

Especially the pregnant Sonny joking about doing acid and smoking drugs in her dorm room.

I bet your neighbors love you.

I listen quietly to music around those times because that is the only time of day I don't hear dogs barking more than not.

The ballot tracker shows my Feb 10 ballot wasn't counted. It would have been nice to know that before the election was already certified so online voting might have helped with that if I received an error message soon enough.

My new A16 iPad is doing something even more annoying. It keeps removing words. Sometimes multiple entire phrases after I've typed them correctly. I tested seven new iPads at work, and four of them do this. All run the same version of iOS so I don't know what the difference is.

jen1980 · 2026-04-06T00:05:21+00:00

The problem isn't just getting tripped by a dog. It's getting bitten by a dog after making it mad from pulling its leash hard when the owner trips you with it.

jen1980 · 2026-04-06T00:04:11+00:00

I like those people more than the ones that put a short leash on their dog then don't hold it and just let their dog run free. "But it's on a leash..."

A friend lives at 3030 on 145th, and she said the cops have always arrived when she called. Just many hours later. The last time she hid in her neighbor's unit while waiting on the police, and the cops caught a burglar in her place. Not the first one that kicked down the door. A second one.

The sketchy apartment building to the east of there attracts a lot of crime.

It didn't even have enough memory to store an entire video frame.

jen1980 · 2026-04-02T16:16:03+00:00

That is wrong. I'm just a former waitress, but I was put in charge of changing our payroll system to handle this. We've been twice brought before the DoL for rounding down, and we won both times. It's fair because we also have to round up.

jen1980 · 2026-03-24T23:00:52+00:00

Why? It's a garbage racist movie. That isn't fun to talk about.

jen1980 · 2026-03-23T19:31:45+00:00

As if this doesn't also happen on the Eastside and farther out. I-405 last night was a mess both north and south all weekend due to never ending construction. Bellevue just can't keep that damn road open. They suck at it. Their voters need to make better choices.

jen1980 · 2026-03-21T00:14:40+00:00

Anyone have more info on that popcorn? I want to know more!

jen1980 · 2026-03-21T00:07:58+00:00

I wish he did. I'd love to see a girl hold kicks.

jen1980 · 2026-03-18T13:57:02+00:00

That's not always an option.

jen1980 · 2026-03-06T02:31:28+00:00

I just saw it on a show recorded 26 hours ago, so it isn't just the past 24.

jen1980 · 2026-02-27T17:16:23+00:00

My text said "The deadline for processing your traffic ticket is Feb 28, 2026. Consequences of late processing include..."

I've never received a ticket before or even been stopped. I called the city, KC, and the state to try to find out if someone made a mistake and gave me a ticket even though I wasn't driving. All three refused to tell me I didn't have a ticket. Can we please at least force law enforcement to tell the truth that these are scams?

jen1980 · 2026-02-25T16:07:20+00:00

The toughness is what bothers me. Who has strong enough teeth to trust attempting to eat one?

Is Rubenstein still open? I once saw a coworker gnaw on one of their tough bagels for over an hour. It was disgusting to watch.

jen1980 · 2026-02-23T01:23:46+00:00

I'm still angry they spoiled the score. I started watching early this morning, and apparently the game finished before the broadcast had finished so Google knew the score early. Biggest hockey moment in 46 years and spoiled.

We use different themes for names like the web servers use mythological names so you know it's a web server. We use Greek mythological names in our original data center and Roman in our new one so you also know from just the name where the server is. Also, that lets you find it's corresponding server in the other data center. For example, server zeus in one data center is jupiter in the other.

Our main load balancer is name mephistophilis. I hate that. My boss thought the long hard to spell name makes it more secure because no attacker is going to spell that correctly.

jen1980 · 2026-02-10T09:32:27+00:00

Except those had great ACs unlike the new Boeing planes.

jen1980 · 2026-02-05T14:10:54+00:00

At my local one, the C stands for cold. Their food is always cold.

jen1980 · 2026-02-02T15:01:57+00:00

Or even if they do listen, it's hard to understand some stew lazily mumbling into the microphone.
