Solar panels are popular with progressive Indiana churches too, who don’t mind saying they help address climate change.

In either case, a reality is that churches are a big buildings with big power needs, and the panels can pay for themselves over their life.

And if the panels get fully or partially funded by donations, that ROI can come much sooner.

I helped my Indiana church get 304 solar panels installed. It was the most panels for a church in the state at the time.

They save about $500/month in electricity.

It appears to have the display functionality of swaybar, the default dock of Sway.

No, you can’t prevent open source software being mirrored, nor can you can compel citizens and companies of other countries to stop working on it.

Must be completely unrelated.

In 2004, Munich, Germany led the creation of LiMux and switched the city to that from Windows.

In 2017 they reverted to Windows.

In 2020 they re-asserted the intent to switch to open source.

What’s old is new again.

This was downvoted, but is a good question.

If your account is compromised, the shell init code could be modified to install a keylogger to discover the root password. That’s correct.

Still, that capture doesn’t happen instantly. On a personal server, it could be months until the owner logs in next. On a corporate machines, there may be daily scans for signs of intrusion, malware, etc. Either way, the attacker has been slowed down and there is a chance they won’t succeed in a timeframe that’s useful to them.

It’s perhaps like a locking a bike: with right tool and enough time, a thief can steal the bike. Sometimes slowing them down sufficiently is enough to win.

Coming soon to FortNite?

I’m glad to have some competition for the Frost Oven Squoosh, which is being lightly maintained. I opened some issues in the Mazanoke issue tracker for some features to consider.

One feature I started on for that project but got stuck on was implementing a STDIN / STDOUT CLI workflow.

https://github.com/frostoven/Squoosh-with-CLI/issues/10

As I said there, the goal was a workflow where I take a screenshot, annotate it, optimize it, copy it and paste it into my blog… without creating any intermediate temp files.

At least on Linux, all the the steps of the pipeline are solved, except for a CLI image compressor that could accept an image STDIN and produce a compressed image on STDOUT.

Sounds like an oversight. Consider filing a bug with them.

Nice. I use Squoosh for this, which is also free and runs in the browser.

Https give you encryption in transit. The files you view will be accesible to the host.

Same idea with email.

Not true that most incoming email will plaintext. It’s the opposite:

“Most of today’s email services, including Gmail, employ transport layer security (TLS) to protect emails in transit”

Journalists are trying to cover it, but the FBI isn’t talking and issued a gag order to IU not to discuss it either.

I have a kid about that age interested in games. There was definitely interest in social pressure to switch to Windows for gaming for the bigger selection and what friends were playing.

My experience with systemd has been the opposite. Thanks to systemd, many core tools have consistent names and CLI behaviors.

Before systemd I used sysVinit, upstart and various other tools.

I’m glad systemd alternatives exist as part of a diverse Linux ecosystem but I haven’t had a compelling reason to not use systemd.

nobody should have to deal with kubernetes when it comes to vehicle maintenance.

It uses layers, the same way a phone keyboard has a separate layer for numbers and symbols. Holding down one of the three thumb keys on either side activates a new layer. Since you can use your thumb and fingers at the same time, there’s no lose in typing speed. Indeed, the layout puts numbers and symbols closer to the home row on a layer than using a physical number number.

For all symbols, you would have needed a shift-modifier to access those before. With this design, the symbols are closer but use a layer switch key instead of a shift key to access them.

Everyone who uses a phone keyboard has learned a new compact keyboard layout. It’s not so hard.
