Brave of you to say this

Examples:

• Black Knight (2001)
• arguably, A Knight’s Tale (2001) if you consider it sufficiently funny (big year for anachronistic knights)
• All of the Ice Age films I guess
• Year One (2009)

there’s actually tons of these.

Feel free to distract the shit out of the drug dogs though.

So an option that is literally documented as saying “all files and directories created by a tmpfiles.d/ entry will be deleted”, that you knew nothing about, sounded like a “good idea”?

Bro, if it sounded like a good idea to someone, you didn’t fucking warn them enough. Don’t put this on them without considering what you did to confuse them.

Also, nfn, the systemd documentation is a nightmare to read through, even if you know exactly what you’re looking for.

(I’m still gonna keep using systemd because it’s better than the alternatives, though. OP, don’t write stuff off because 1 guy is a dick.)

I’d really love it if people stop saying “it’s by design” when they can’t point to any motivation for that design. When the quoted admin says “thinking this is by design” this is equivalent to saying “Lemmy developers prefer that there be no image moderation tools.”

Like, what. Why would they want that. They clearly don’t want that. They’re working on changing that.

Yeah the scenario we’re being asked to consider is what if someone else gets control of the company, so whatever power employees nominally have now, they won’t if he dies without deeding the company to a collective.

Fit billionaires do. What happens to gaben’s heart and arteries are anyone’s guess. He is getting healthier but you can’t undo damage completely.

Fair enough. I guess I’m not saying “there’s no point in --” because I know people do these things. (Man, I wish I had the attention span to read as much as you.) I’m just saying I’m not going to host something just to keep track with no recommendations or interaction because that doesn’t click for me personally.

Same. I don’t really see the point of tracking what you read if you’re not interested in connecting it to other peoples’ readings. Storygraph has been great.

When they tell you they’re walking back Recall and it’s “off by default”, remember that they constantly do this shit.

In that condition she could probably have convinced him to “legally” deed all his properties to her. (She would need to be able to enthrall everyone in the room when it happens, otherwise witnesses will testify he wasn’t of sound mind, but that seems like something she could solve.)

It gets complicated after that, though, lots of shareholder suits if she does anything too drastic. Maybe she converts all those assets into investments in renewable energy, which would keep shareholders off her back.

Then she only has to deal with assassin squads sent by the rest of the oil stakeholders but, again, that seems like a problem she could solve.

Blood bending to kill anyone who’s near enough to see me using it (as soon as they look away)

Absolutely none of this is true.

1. Alzheimer’s is only one specific disease that leads to rapid mental breakdown. There are many forms of senility, all of which including Alzheimer’s become more likely as you get older, which means that
2. There is absolutely a strong correlation between age and degraded mental facilities. If I gave you three citations I’d be leaving out hundreds more citations.
3. There won’t be a scientific breakthrough that doubles the average lifespan of every human on earth. There are so many flaws with this idea it’s exhausting just to think about it.
4. Mandatory retirement ages are in use all over the place. Judicial appointments have this in place already in 18 states. Executive boards can legally have this rule in place as well. Any situation where old age in a job is a safety issue creates an exception in the form of an unmet bona fide occupational qualification. I would definitely argue that old men who create policy for hundreds of millions of people create a safety risk for those people if they aren’t mentally qualified to do the job.

Not just retirement, put them in a machine that extrudes protein paste and use that to feed the next crop of legislators.

If you retire early, you don’t get put in the machine.

I don’t usually read walls of text (attention span) but this was a good one, worth reading to the end. Well said tbh

EDIT: Noticed you’re talking about Gitlab in the question, and I responded about Github, but I’m certain that gitlab does everything the same way, because that’s all the technology is capable of. (I have no way to test the ssh -T command at the end for gitlab, though, so ymmv.)

To clear up some minor confusion here:

1. Github knows nothing about your private key. There’s very little metadata stored in the private key, and github.com has access to none of it. That includes email address or identity.
2. Github has identity information stored for you, and then, separately, you uploaded a public key. The public key also contains no information about you, but github knows it’s part of your account. Additionally, github enforces a requirement that your public key can’t be uploaded to any other account, for the reason I’m about to state below.
3. Github has an index built of everyone’s public keys (or more likely their digests, although the technical details of the index are not something known to me–and it doesn’t matter). When it sees an authentication request, it looks up the digest in the index, which maps to a user account.

At this point it already knows who is trying to authenticate. Once your authentication request succeeds with your public key (the usual challenge-response handshake associated with asymmetric cryptography), github interacts with your ssh client (most likely git) applying the permissions of your user and your user account.

BTW, github has a documented method for testing the handshake without doing any git operations:

ssh -T git@github.com

Depending on your ssh config, you might also need to supply -i some_filename.pem to this. Github will reply with

Hi aarkon! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.

and then close the connection.

Note that the test authentication uses the username git and, again, contains no information about who you are. It’s all just looked up on github’s side.

You know 75% of the iceberg is above the clouds

Well I didn’t see the comment you’re apologizing for so, no apology necessary ig?
