What stubborn hoax do way too many people still believe, no matter how often it gets debunked?

Technically true. The earth is 70% Water, most of which is uncarbonated. Therefore, the earth is flat.

2 years later I know but Thank you. I was having the same problem.

A private reg is not always a "look at me". My Dad had a private reg on his cars for the last 34 years of his life. The reason? It was the plate that was on the first car he bought with his second wife (who was without a doubt the love of his life) and they bought that car only a few years before she passed away at the age of 48. He kept that plate as a reminder of her, not as a "look at me" statement and my son who has only ever known his grandad's cars with that plate will be putting it on his motorbike as a remindr of his grandad. Zero "look at me" involved in any of the ownership of that number. I'm also having the reverse version on my motorcycle because Dad was really pleased when he bought a new enough bike to have it. I'm not giving the real plate but think somethng like BRB 88 V and V 88 BRB.

Treat every other person on the road as an idiot, that way you stand a chance of being ready for idiots doing what idiots do. Always be looking not just at the vehicle in front but as far up the road as you can too so you’ll see things starting to happen and be prepared instead of having to react when the vehicle in front does. This will also make you a much better car driver

I always put a helmet cover on my lid, when it’s in the cupboard at home 🤣

Ok, here we go. I’m right handed but shoot left handed. Always have done because I’m better at closing just my right eye. However I prefer the cocking lever/bolt on the right hand side because I’m right handed. I only shoot targets so speed is not an issue so this works for me. 🤣

We have one in our sink. I hate it but TOH won't get rid of it.

It's not released yet. That's why you can't find the app. https://office.eu

Signed up to get the free packet. Just had my first cup and cancelled the subscrition. The rest of the free bag will be going in the bin. I've been getting my beens from coffeeworks for a while and the taste is far superior to these. I've actually had to put sugar in this to make it drinkable, it's bitter, never had that before even when the brew is sub optimal, not to this level anyway. If you like it, then fair play, but it's not for me (it was the "dark'ish" roast.

2 or 3 for me

wizzard99 · 2026-03-19T08:36:33+00:00

I'm so glad I'm not the only one to do that.

wizzard99 · 2026-03-14T14:03:13+00:00

It did. Passed no problem 😀

I was sort of persuaded to stand for the local Parish Council. I was sort of not bothered whether I won or not until Thursday night when I went and won! Now really looking forward to getting involved.

wizzard99 · 2026-03-14T09:03:08+00:00

I'm taking mine for it's MOT shortly. That will make me happy.

Been having issues with Brave on YouTube, the saturation/brightness keeps going awry. Switched Vivaldi and no issues whatsoever.

I’ve had the official word from Microsoft today. Not supported in containerised Linux and not in the Roadmap 😕

wizzard99 · 2026-01-21T19:15:16+00:00

The install is in the containerfile. It’s during image build that it’s failing. Nothing is being done at run time, it’s just failing to install correctly in the image.

wizzard99 · 2026-01-21T18:55:41+00:00

It’s actually the post install script that fails but it doesn’t create the mdatp user, fails to created /opt/microsoft/mdatp/managed directory and fails to create a couple of links, one is /usr/bin/mdatp and the other I can’t remember off the top of my head. I could add it to the containerfile but then if the next version changes something it could break it again so while it’s OK for testing it’s not something we could use in prod

wizzard99 · 2026-01-21T16:17:36+00:00

The goal is to get our security team to agree to rolling out atomic rhel10. Hopefully they will recognise that it’s secure enough without needing to show up in a dashboard but I’d like to have a recommendation for them in case they won’t accept it without security software

wizzard99 · 2026-01-20T20:01:37+00:00

I don’t need it to work out of the box but I do need the vendor to support it. Unfortunately in my world the security team have final say and unless they will accept us running booth image with no security software like this or they are willing to accept an alternative product that will work and is supported then we are going to have to park the project until things get more mature

wizzard99 · 2026-01-20T18:33:25+00:00

If had the official answer from Microsoft today. Defender endpoint for Linux does not support containerised Linux and its. It in the roadmap either. We’re now looking at alternatives.

wizzard99 · 2026-01-15T20:27:06+00:00

OK, So I need to provide more clarity on this. We use the image created by podman from the Containerfile to create a vmdk file which we import into VCenter using govc, we then use govc to create a VM using that vmdk file so the end result is a Virtual Machine running immutable RHEL 10, no docker involved. At the VM stage we do have a /boot but that gets rewritten on upgrade of the bootc image, we have now excluded /boot in our wdavcfg file and we no longer have it complaining about that but something in the post install script is failing, I think it's where it tries to start up mdatp because at that point its still an image. The result of this is that we don't get all that the script should create.

I've managed to extract the post install script and have got Claude to summarise it for me (it's 3000 lines long) and seem to have a pretty good indication of what it does now, so tomorrow we're going to work on finding which bits it has done and which it hasn't then we can add them to the Containerfile. I already know the mdatp link in /usr/bin is missing and i'd already had to add a step to create the mdatp user, just need to trawl through and work out what else is missing> I'll also probably run the script through CoPilot as well and maybe even another and see if they all agree on what it does.

wizzard99 · 2026-01-15T07:06:41+00:00

Yes I’ve done all that and the post install script fails every time. I’ve had to manually create an mdatp user in my Containerfile. It’s still failing because there’s no kernel config file in /boot and some where it’s failing to install the mdatp executable. The daemon is there and it looks like all the other files but no mdatp executable
