The toilets I used in Japan all had a music button. Never tried it though but I expect crappy music to drown out a furious butt trumpet solo.

One at my workplace comes on automatically and sounds like birds and a creek. I always turn it off :marc:

If you don't use vi(m) and love it and pollute any server you have to log into with your .vimrc and .vim/ directories, you have no business as a *NIX admin.

Plaudits for using the correct term for this and not that other anti-labor policy (right-to-work). It seems like every time this stuff comes up it gets conflated.

Well, poo poo. I know in my puppet systems I have my systems refresh config from the central repo on a regular basis. You want to change a config, its gonna revert pretty quick, and if you need to tinker, you need to shut down the puppet agent, which will alert that something funny is going on.

People disabling puppet "temporarily" to prevent some locally set tweaks from being overwritten is the bane of my existence. Put it in puppet, you fucks.

add a cron job to re-enable puppet every 30 minutes?

Don't tempt me. I could even do it remotely so that can't disable puppet and the cron. I think that keeping track of who's doing it and where and naming and shaming might be more effective with my team, though.

I think I have project for the week.

Let me guess, this same "security" team sends "vulnerability findings" to depts that are simply Qualys (or worse, Nessus) reports devoid of context or any understanding of the environment.

My hatred for our infosec dept's nessus reports led me to write my own webapp for actually correlating between the servers/packages/security advisories instead of just vomiting up a context-free list of scary VULNERABILITIES. I still rely on parsing crap they deliver to us from Nessus, but someday I'm going to get my own source for the advisories and get them all fired. :devil:

One good test for AI would be asking it if there is anything that is improved by blockchain. If it says yes then burn it to the ground and start over.

but what if making AI preoccupied with blockchain is the only way to keep it too bogged down and distracted to kill us all?

How do you know yaml got truncated?

Hash sums? Relying on syntax to ensure data integrity seems like a really bad idea for any format. Main point: white space sensitivity is fine.

Yeah, and you can make valid JSON that isn't actually what you wanted as well. I remember having to spend half a day trying to unfuck some json for hiera that a coworker messed up. It would have been a pain in the rear end in any serialized format.

It's also worth noting that, intentionally or not, homework problems screen out a lot of applicants for totally irrelevant reasons. Taking care of kids or a sick family member, or working two low paying jobs but hoping to advance etc etc? None of that has any bearing on your tech abilities, but sure makes it harder to scrape together 4 hours of focused work in the evening.

Why employers might prefer people with tons of free time to spend on tasks very similar to their eventual jobs is left as an exercise to the reader.

Data loss confirmed so I would suggest jumping to another provider...

i think Inner Light is saying they trust that the data to be in an encrypted state and difficult to crack even if exfiltrated, so i don't think this affects that calculus.

personally, i switched to a password manager where i handle the vault on my own a long while back.
