So, can we get an update as to the severity? Is it looking like it's gonna be an amputation or a band-aid?

My only connection with the state is Mobile. I quite like the city, but I doubt it's very representative for the rest of the state.

Went there for a work related assignment regarding a ship that was visiting a dry dock there. The ship was delayed by a few days, so I spent some time just checking out the city.

What that other person said about water.

On top of that, you'll know the severity of the burn in a few hours. Most likely a light 1st degree burn (red itchy skin), at worst a light 2nd degree (blistering).

If it remains just red, treat it with some ointment (Bepanthen is my go-to). Be sure to keep it clean. Some minor blistering might occur, which is fine if it's not bothersome. If blistering becomes severe, cover with wet bandages and see a doctor.

Do not scratch!

Does Pulse count? If not, I'm having a hard time choosing between The Wall, Division Bell, and DSOTM

Not as much as before. Most new EVs I see on the roads these days are Volvo.

I can still do this provided that the language is Perl. But the few cases when I actually have to do so are rare, and never in public.

The most serious charges, racketeering and sex trafficking, are a lot harder to prove in court.

For the example of racketeering, it has to be proven without a doubt that the parties (Diddy and henchman) were both knowingly committing crimes. In this particular case it was hard to produce evidence of the henchmen doing anything more than following instructions which in themselves were not of a criminal nature.

Fuck him, though. Even though he did not get the verdict we all know he deserves, nobody would want the toxicity of working or associating with him again. Well, maybe Kanye.

No. I am convinced that dreams are brain training towards scenarios that may or may not become relevant one day.

Last night I dreamt about being at an airport, unsure about where and when my connecting flight was. Surprisingly realistic, considering how often I fly, but unrealistic in the sense that I always know this beforehand and always carry with me a small paper note listing the following:

  • Flight number
  • When
  • From-To
  • Estimated landing time
  • Booking code
 

A. K. A. Which song do you hate the most?

 

Requirements:

  • Domain registration (duh)
  • Privacy.
  • DNS included.
  • Preferably based in the EU, but it's not a hard requirement
 
 

And are there any you would support if you had just that little bit of extra disposable income?

 

Thought I'd share this with yall. But I'm gonna answer the obvious question right away: No, I didn't abuse it.

So, I used to work for a large corporation in the geophysics industry.. well, I still do, just a different one. I will of course not name them, but it's a behemoth in the industry, and if you are familiar with the field, you've definitely heard of them.

I wasn't the "normal" kind of sysadmin - I mostly handled off-site production stuff (where the actual money was being made), and how all of this stuff interfaced with each other as well as the head office.

The "normal" IT stuff was handled by a friend/coworker with whom I've worked for well over a decade in several companies - We have an odd habit of crossing professional paths from time to time. Let's call him Bob.

I had handed in my three months notice, as the competition had given me an offer I couldn't refuse, so I was on my way out. While visiting the head office for unrelated reasons I had gotten a desk assigned close to Bob's for convenience, as a lot of the stuff I did was related to his stuff.

Then suddenly, come 15:00 my VPN stopped working. Then email. Then everything else. If it had been later in the day I would've assumed my employer had decided to let me go earlier, but the timing didn't make sense.

Me: "Hey, Bob, I'm still working here, you know? Well, trying to..."
Bob: "Yeah, why?"
Me: "You didn't kill my access?"
Bob: "No, but I have a hunch..."

So, long story short, it turned out that Bob's American counterpart, Alice had been tasked with the offboarding, as she had set up some specialized access for me. And as you probably know, date formats between Europe and US can be confusing and ambiguous. So Alice had set up her offboarding-script with the wrong date. 15:00 was when her office hours started.

Bob and Alice had a quick chat and the problem was easily identified. No problem, and as apologetic as Alice was, I don't really blame her as it was an honest mistake anyone could've done in her position. Anyway, Bob was tasked with setting up (again) what I needed, as we were in the same room.

Bob started adding me back to stuff, restoring my password from earlier. Turns out users are never deleted, only deactivated so that roles can easily be copied. And after a while, which never struck me as oddly long, he seemed done.

Bob: "Try it now"
Me: "Yup, works"
Bob: "Please test them all... there are some modules that most people don't get added to"
Me: "I'll test them as I go. If there's something missing we'll deal with it tomorrow."

Things worked for the rest of the day, so I didn't really think about it. When the next day arrived I had some idle hours in the morning while waiting for some stuff, and decided to put the time to good use before Bob came in. So I started testing, going through all of our access portals. And in the name of science, I tested a few I wasn't supposed to have access to.

Me: "Bob, am I really supposed to have access to payroll?"
Bob: "No?"
Me: "Or the corporate drafts?"
Bob: "Wtf?"

Well, it just so happens that I share the first name with the CEO of the entire fucking corporation. And Bob had copied the access from the active CEO and not my own deactivated account. For 12 hours this random dork who was about to leave for the competition had access to EVERYTHING in the company.

Because I'm not stupid and because I didn't want to get Bob into any trouble I didn't do anything with it once I realized how much I had access to. I wonder if any of the other ~2000 employees would've been as sensible as I was.

In the context of what's behind it; a wide-ish river being funneled through a concrete construction, it makes sense to be careful about the currents. But void of any context it looks completely different:
"⚠️ Interdimentional portal Ahead ⚠️"

 

I'm considering hosting one, and I'm just curious how much effort I should invest in doing it "properly" for everyone to use as opposed to just dicking around on my own for testing purposes.

 

58.6GB of map data just to make sure I've got all of Europe covered and then some. I will probably never drive to Portugal. But now I can.

 

In short, sell me on ufw.

I learned recently that yfw is basically replacing iptables "everywhere", and as I'm getting old and crusty, this means that I have to learn something new when I'd much rather practice yelling at kids to get off my lawn.

To me, iptables is fine, and I like its flexibility. I've been using it ever since it de facto replaced ipchains, so ease of use isn'treally a factor in this equation.

So my more pointed question is: Can I just stick to iptables, or am I missing out on something that can only be done with ufw?
