(Quote) Abominables no (sleep) man.

You realise you scribbled out the IPv4 but left in the IPv6?

His thread on OGF suggests he's already just bought directly from Hetzner.

(Quote) Yeah, my main laptop is a Dell XPS 13 from 2015. Has the amazing high DPI touchscreen and it's pretty light. I also now have a MacBook Air M1 for work, and it's the same form factor. It's actually quite handy that they both fit into the same…

(Quote) I bought the cheapest Dell laptop I could find a few years ago prior to travelling in China for a couple of months. In part, because I wanted to not care at all about having it stolen and/or lost, but also to get a completely fresh machine a…

(Quote) Try with last field as 2. Also, make sure this line is at the end of /etc/fstab (or at least after / and /home).

While I was working as a sysadmin at the university, our uplink to JANET was upgraded from 2mbps for the entire university to 10mbps. That was a pretty big deal at the time! Bringing it back to data storage, its also interesting at the time that I …

I didn't sign up to an ISP for internet at home per se, but I did have a modem at home and shared a modem line at the university with one other colleague in 1997 (which itself was pretty decadent as I think the general modem pool was only 10 modems)…

(Quote) From the order page, it's until the very precise date of the heat death of the universe: (Quote) (edit: very obviously an error, in hex it's 0x1F,FFFF,FFFF,FFFF)

(Quote) The next step is consolidating onto bigger drives, but keeping the old ones as backups.
-
(Quote) A lot of it is quite niche, and not zero-value. For instance, the 8-bit machines will sell for about £100 each on ebay, if and when I can ever get my ass in gear to sort through it and list it. It's just never quite worth my time to spend so…

I hoard old equipment. I have about 30 8-bit computers (mostly the same model), but none of them have been plugged in for years. I have every PC I've ever owned (I think), including the 133 MHz thing that there's literally no use for. I have a ton o…

(Quote) There are lots of laws around food preparation for one. Also, a provider of coffee isn't legally required to know their customer, so it's alright for purchasers of coffee to lie about their identity when ordering, but it's not when ordering …

(Quote) It's also fairly easy to pay 200 RMB for a burger in Shanghai. Salaries in Shanghai for Chinese people can also be as low as 1000 RMB per month or well over 90000 RMB per month. I do agree that the median is more around 10000 RMB though. I'…

(Quote) Thanks for the Christmas gift, but I'd rather you chose another winner for this as I'm trying to reduce my collection of idlers. Hope you have a happy holiday season too!
-
Having a numeric only ID might be the problem. Maybe ssh is interpreting it as a user ID rather than user name. If you're really intent on having this, you might also want to change their user ID (probably 10xx currently) to the same as the usernam…
-
(Quote) If you've not yet fixed this, at a guess the .ssh directory is probably readable/writable by other users. Try chmod og-rwx ~user/.ssh

(Quote) Just as there's a huge difference between making a joke about someone's nose because of a stereotypical genetic trait and full on misogyny.
-
(Quote) Firstly, an apology. I'm still in the middle of COVID and my attention span isn't much more than a couple of minutes on anything, right now, so maybe I've not picked up on subtle nuance in what you were saying, but it seems weird that your r…

(Quote) So, to repeat the last part of my comment: If so, why should it be any different for sexism?
-
(Quote) My point was that we wouldn't tolerate people being openly racist here, even if they justified it as "oh, this is just me being me, i don't really mean any offence, you don't have to read it, move along and read something else".
-
(Quote) On the surface, this sounds reasonable, but actually what this translates to is wanting to perpetuate the status quo. (Quote) Would you be as equally cool with an overt racist posting on here, saying "Take it or leave it, does not matt…
