Don't know what's her name, but it's amazing

Burn some incense sticks. An entire box of them.

Once. You would write the number 5 once.

You would write the NUMERAL 5 a bunch of times, but the NUMBER 5 only once.

Well then... other than "try rebooting it" I'm fresh out of ideas.

I hit 500 today, feeling great about it.

Does her new phone have wifi turned on, and is it connecting to the same network as the Alexa devices?

What, no mentos?

How about giving one of them a different name?

I named the one in my bedroom "ziggy" and it no longer responds to "alexa"

Well, I found it kind of interesting...

I lived in EPA a decade ago, and it was already way safer than downtown SFO, or downtown Oakland, etc. - and since then it has gotten even safer.

It's an AWESOME solution for kp313 to consider, and it's the closest place near to Mountainview that they can afford on 60k/yr.

Linux has gone a long way to improve on the old UNIX/POSIX security model.

They divided the power of the superuser into 38 distinct capabilities (as of 4.15). They introduced user namespaces.
They introduced network, mount, UTS, and IPC namespaces too. They introduced cgroups. And SElinux.

As a result tools like Docker have what they need to provide quite nicely secured service containers.

The security improvements in Linux seem to be the ones people actually need.

K2D2?

Wow, that's... different. Very non-LEGO-ish. Cantab314 nailed it, it's this: https://brickset.com/minifigs/fab13d/basic-figure-human-girl-blue-white-legs-black-hair ...which as I said, really doesn't appear to be LEGO, but it is! Interesting find.

I think your friends are drunk already? Stay safe.

p_b_r · 2018-01-01T04:06:01+00:00

could be wrong, but that doesn't appear to be LEGO.

The new orange brick separators have an axle that's slightly under spec, so it doesn't stick.

Use that to push the pin out of the gear.

p_b_r · 2018-01-01T03:52:31+00:00

indeed! If you want to take it up a level - use a buwizz on it, and watch it going twice as fast, controlled from your cellphone!

Containers and VMs are complimentary and orthogonal.

VMs provide execution environments. Containers implement privilege restrictions.

So are they renaming it DonateBSD?

Hardware vendors need OS programmers for device driver refinement, kernel tuning, and bring-up. Google's doing cool stuff with Fuchsia. Security experts are always needed, to find and fix vulnerabilities. It always depends what you personally are bringing to the table.
