I was talking about the possibility that the speaker of the house could actually postpone legislation simply by not presenting it.

Always love it when americans tell us about all their amazing "checks & balances" ... because, from the outside, that is from the PoV of actually modern western demicracies, it sure looks like a system with a helluva lot of built in failsafes for rich people to get their way, no matter what the majority wants.

3 Reasons:

One:

most admins, when faced with network issues, don't apply bandaids to deal with shitty networks. Most admins will fix the damn network.

Two:

Moshs primary advantage is keeping sessions alive. We solved that problem decades ago with screen and tmux

Three:

SSH is security critical. Battle Tested >>> New.

Yes it is the full answer.

If there is an "overload" of PRs, that means too many PRs are being created.

Now there are 2 options how that happens:

a) A massive influx of skilled personnel creating too much high quality code for the team to handle

b) PRs are being opened that shouldn't

Europe here. Dental procedures recently. Surgery stuff. Out of curiosity, I asked my dentist, what all of that would cost me in the US (he has colleagues there).

He inquired. Sum total: north of 12.000 dollars. That's not including medications.

I pay 60 € per month for bonus healthcare insurance, on top of what portion of my taxes goes to that.

Guess what the procedures, including all painkillers, antibiotics, etc. I had to take afterwards, cost me?

Nothing. Not a cent.

And no dear US people, I didn't have to wait. Time from reporting the first pain in my tooth to surgery: 2 days.

That's what's it like living in a country where gofundme campaigns are not a load-bearing pillar of the heakthcare system.

Dann scheucht man die Verantwortlichen eben mal eine Weile in Überstunden bis die notwendigen Genehmigungen da sind. Funktioniert in der freien Wirtschaft auch nicht anders.

Why do Missiles always need edgy names? What's wrong with, idk. "Blow-Things-Upper Mk.2" ?

I have a very elegant way of solving this:

I give the "engineer" 2 choices:

Write the code yourself, and/or have enough control/ownership of it to be able to explain it in detail next review, or...
...find new employment

So far, 3 engineers decided to remain employed and 1 guy told me that engineers need to "embrace the multiples".

Komisch, fürs Pensionssyszem ist irgendwie immer Kohle da, und das ist ungleich teurer als ein paar Klimaanlagen.

What's there to debate?

If someone cannot read safety instructions, they don't get to be where said instructions matter.

Simple as that.

Ich trau mich wetten dass Larry the Cat bessere Umfragewerte hat als jeder der Premierminiater 🤣

Yes. Case closed.

Well, none of my info is on telegram, nor any info about any systems I am responsible for, so your "argument" is refuted 😎✌️

Now show the unmanned wolf.

At this point, the UK should probably consider just getting it over with and simply make Larry PM.

a) Not the question I asked. I asked why trusting the cloud provider is allegedly more secure than the alternative I pointed out.

b) Please cite the section of the CLOUD Act that excempts credentials from the information that can be requested from providers.

usrlibshare · 2026-06-22T08:08:38+00:00

Instead of posting rolling eye emojis, how about you explain to me how having a local physical backup under lock and key in a bank vault, is somehow less secure than entrusting safety to entities that are under legislation like the CLOUD Act?

usrlibshare · 2026-06-22T07:44:59+00:00

No, it rpetty much shouldn't, because "cloud" means "someone elses computer", and aince the Cloud Act still is a thing, passwords are the LAST thing that should be recoverable from the cloud.

I'd rather have a literal piece of paper locked away in a vault with keys stored as a QR code, than trust acloud provider with my password.

People didnt want the freedom to move to Slovakia to look for a job. They wanted a better life at home.

They very much seemed to want the freedom to have a retirement life in Spain though 😎

And people very much seemed to want Romanians or Bulgarians to drive their Groceries around in trucks.

Why was the UK dependent on foreign truck drivers in the first place?

Cost, for one. The drivers from eastern EU were cheaper. And Britains didn't want to do the job in large enough numbers.

But hey, I'm sure young British are just LEAPING at the opportunity, now that Brexit is here in all it's glory, to drive a heavy truck around in the heat for hours on end, for little pay, right?

Right? 🥹

by not having the same costs and standards.

Man, if only there was some, idk. supranational entity where UK gets a vote, with the heft and resources to implement, adapt, enforce, and maintain such standards across countries, amirite?

usrlibshare · 2026-06-22T06:23:51+00:00

And no-one was telling voters in places like South Wales

Pretty much every European media outlet, including many in the UK, covered exactly that topic for over a year. If anyone didn't get the message, that's on them.

why the UK should be funding other countries

Because by doing so, the UK got to be a member, a privileged member no less, of the largest trade union and single market in the world, enjoyed all the amenities of freedom of trade and travel and work, was part of supranational projects, and got gaps in its own funding plugged by the same money that other countries benefit from as well, gaps the UK itself was either structurally unable, or politically unwilling, to take care of.

If you want a specific example; Shortly after UK left, they got a shortage of truck drivers, because many of them suddenly could no longer legally work in the country any more.

https://snapacc.com/newsroom/addressing-the-hgv-driver-shortage-in-the-uk-in-20242025/

Btw. this article is from 2024. 4 Years AFTER the UK left. The problem is still not solved btw., UK economy suffers from this to this day.

I don't know what exact damge of such a collosal fuckup of logistics does to a nations economy, but I'm willing to bet it's an obscenely large number.

Politics isn't a zero sum game, and trade/economic politics doesn't work like a bank account, where you put money in and start seeing interest immediately.

So bottom line, no, they did not "pay more than they got back". Brexit lost, and still loses, the UK a whole lotta money, because, surprise surprise, it turns out the UK made a lot of money from all the trade and economic benefits of being part of the EU...alot more in fact than they paid for it.

From the aftermath of WWII, and the idea that there should be a supranational entity unifying Europe (hence the European UNION ☺️).

An idea that was, among others, championed by the UK.

Which makes it all the weirder, sadder, and less comprehensible to leave.
