For those cases, I have used software such as phpBB. Getting people to create a login is unpopular however. Some friends and I shared things similar to what one might find on FB. The distinct advan…

Most people won't host their own server. I am not speaking for the HN crowd. In general, people just are not interested enough in learning how to do this or stay on top of patches. To answer yo…

I was talked into creating a FB account by some friends a long time ago. I found that I was losing respect for my friends, as it brought out the parts of them I did not want to know about. I also not…

Are there any historical lessons to be learned from others that have done this in the past? Is that Sheriff putting the lives of other corrections officers and jail staff at risk?

If you don't count IRC and Usenet servers, every day I visit: Hacker News [0], El Reg [1], PacketStorm Security [2], CNN Lite Version [3], Weather dot Gov [4], Github [5], CentOS [6], Ars Technic…

Perhaps we are all in a simulation and the galaxy rotation is tied to a single clock source. Developers are sometimes a little lazy.

I've never owned a smart phone and likely never will.

Would this be similar to doing: git log -p --full-diff | egrep --line-number -EiEio "[^A-Za-z0-9/+=][A-Za-z0-9/+=]{40}[^A-Za-z0-9/+=]|[^A-Z0-9][A-Z0-9]{20}[^A-Z0-9]" | s…

Thankyou. I already take extra D3 and K2. I had never heard of metformin. I have had really bad luck finding a doctor that will discuss natural solutions. A nurse friend was suggesting I find a fun…

Is there anything that can be used to safely reverse the hardening / plaque buildup? I have been using 2-Hydroxypropyl-beta-Cyclodextrin in attempt to reverse damage to the outside of the arteri…
comment
You might add to try different strains. I found that certain strains actually increased my "sweet-tooth". It took a few tried to find the right one for me. I believe it has to do with eac…
comment
Is there a natural form of that drug or has it been modified from its original form?
comment
There may be some tiny amount of truth to this. Red meats contain more L-Glutamine which is required for muscle growth. It is the most abundant amino acid in our body. That said, taking more of it …
comment
Oh sorry, I just meant a way to get friends comfortable with IRC by having a simple doc that says how to use Glowing Bear in front of a simple weechat config so that they could easily move to IRC vs. …
comment
Thankyou. That would probably be ok, since Slack using the IRC gateway had the same effect.
comment
Thanks. I totally understand and agree. The problem I am faced with is that Slack (a former gaming company) has gotten people hooked / trained / conditioned on the custom emoji.
comment
Disclaimer: I personally do not need emoji's. Does TheLounge let users upload custom emoji? I ask, because my coworkers say, "You can take Slack from my cold dead hands". There was e…

WeeChat + screen is awesome. I was using it for Slack. It handled their strange use of +v/-v for user is away at least, better than Epic I've never tried Glowing Bear. Maybe that would …
comment
I have always found p7zip (7-zip for linux) to work just fine. You can limit the resources it uses with renice, ionice and taskset (cpu affinity).
comment
They are not suggesting centralization. They are suggesting bcp38 [0] This comes up quite often and people argue back and forth why they (the ISP's) can't or won't do this. Bcp38 si…
comment
I replaced Discord with Mumble [0][1] / Murmur. (Self hosted). It scales really well. On a tiny VM I could handle thousands of people. That said, it isn't quite as happy-clicky-frictionl…

Is bitcoin insured and by how much in each country?
comment
I am disappointed as well. The web interface is sluggish over a VPN.
comment
Certainly. I supposed the point I am trying to make is that a lot of old windows behaviors that lead to security incidents are finding their way into non-desktop linux machines. My servers have binf…
comment
Perhaps consider making multiple copies to optical media using parity data on each volume. Writing rar and par files to multiple DVD's should suffice. There is of course the risk that not many …

That isn't how a trust / will works. Your friend won't know about the account information until you have passed on and your lawyer contacts them. You could certainly make them aware o…
