bit refreshing seeing a billionaire not fucking kids.

a bit of a horndog and cheating bastard, but who expected a saint?! this guy is a CEO he would sell his soul for a increase in stock value.

    funnily enough I did that and sometimes do in some projects in order to locally not commit IDE stuff or test folders.

    if I want to update the .gitignore in such cases I test local and change in the remote.

    create some dotfiles, ansible playbooks and go nuts with it.

    my current setup is arch+niri. but I have used hyprland and sway/swayfx.

    here are my dotfiles

    https://codeberg.org/Disco-Robot/dotfiles

    I ought to update them though, so some things might brake if you intend to adapt them.

    but yeah I would recommended you to check unixporn and see any desktop environment or windown manager that fits your fancy (if you wanna deploy fleets in your company don't go full hackerman take into account usability).

    Then grab the dotfiles if avaible RTFM and try to create your configs, sync with git and create a playbook that clones the repo, installs the packages and symlinks configs into .config.

    if you are new I think you can't go wrong with KDE and Gnome and it's extension suite, else if you prefer WMs like hyprland, you have hyprland itself, niri which I love aswell and heard great things about magoWM although seems a bit hard to configure.

    with that base the rest is lego in my setup I use fuzzel as the run menu but you also have rofi or ulauncher if it's still around, for the bar I use waybar, the powermenu I use a fork of wlogout ... you get it :).

    Yeah I think it will have to come to that, I am usually my own IT guy and did not want to bother our DevOps/IT guy which is loaded with other more important stuff.

    But it will have to come to that once it becomes somewhat unbearable.

    Will ask him for a backup policy though now that you point that out.

    I my personal machine I got a btrfs volume just for that I could replicate that.

    I am currently using Ubuntu for my work laptop ( lucky me, company lets me use Linux :).

    However due how things goes I have installed stuff to test out, left it there and thrashed my home with random files and things I don't really care about.

    In my machine I would just do a fresh install, load my dotfiles and back to clean state.

    But in this machine I would like to take a different approach cause.

    1. The machine came preconfigured with an IT account and prob other stuff.

    2. I don't really wanna go to IT just for a some little ick of mine to have a clean puter, and also don't wanna fresh install without telling them.

    What would you guys do in this situation?

    We must create some legalisation on this else a buch of smart cars are going to turn into dumb bricks.

    In contrary to what many are saying I don't think going back to plain cars is the solution. I think an open standard would be the solution here to provide an option to self-host or connect to provider.

    yeah I put it on forms all the time not in transphobic way but like "who cares !!! And if so why the hell do you wanna know?!?".

    This on random stuff, for things like social or other studies where I clearly see the intent I usually put a seriously response, now on affiliate or library card why do you need that?

    Lately there has been a lot of controversy about age verification and it's implementation in places such as UK and US.

    The main critic to this mechanism is due being done through facial recognition or a government ID which are privacy invasive.

    So here is my question as someone who comes from IT, wouldn't it be possible to create a device which just gives out true or false depending if the person is of age, given some kind of piece of DNA (hair, blood, nails) ?

    I known there is carbon dating, but from what I understand is a bit of complicated process. The human body however shows it's age visually and I would be interested to know if genetically there are some signs as well that could be somewhat used in a automatic process.

    Again I come from IT, just curious about the implications and your takes on the problem.
