Isn't there a film about saving him?

While a CVSS score of 9.9 indicates critical severity, it’s important to approach the situation with a balanced perspective.

The whole article sounds like somebody asked chatGPT to explain the tweet in more detail.

I feel I half agree with you. The other half of me thinks, there's a lot of things we change for an actor acting a character. After all, it's an actor, playing a character. Someone called Ben can play a guy called John; your grumpiest aunt can play a sweet grandma; often we have actors in their 30s and 40s playing ternagers and 20s; and men playing women even used to be a thing.

I think you have a good point, but I also think it's okay to have an acceptable disconnect of, this is people acting out a story, not the real thing happening in front of me.

I really liked the Little Mermaid live action

Really? Nice to hear someone liked it! Till now I only heard negative things about it - about plot, character, etc. Never heard anyone complain about skin colour, only people complaining about other people complaining.

From different plants. Straw is from, I think, cereals (wheat, barley, etc) whereas hay is from grass(es?).

There was a Beatles song about the straw man logical fallacy, wasn't there?

OKay, Right?

Means having a chill attitude, especially when you screw up badly right in front of your supervisor.

Public Key Infrastructure

Means your offices are locked not by company private keys but by public statutes of the state, and a court order will make them unlock.

(Or, less-commonly used)

PacK it In

Give up. Go home.

This would presumably let x86 windows games run on ARM hardware.

Doesn't that require something quite different?

Proton is improved (matured?) WINE, right? And Wine Is Not an Emulator - the point being it doesn't emulate hardware, it translates instruction sets. From for-Windows x86 to Linux x86. Can you do that cross cpu architecture?

Call your credit company and block the transaction.

Remind them that if they don't, you have a hitman awaiting a victim.

how does one use the dark web?

I think Firefox has a toggle for it these days. Your Android phone can also turn it on automatically when the lights get low or after 7pm.

Like, getting a hitman for a friend? Or getting a hitman for a friend?

 

I've been playing around with self hosting for file sharing, backups, and a handful of other ideas I might one day get round to. I like the idea of a mesh VPN and being able to, for example, connect a travelling laptop to a 'host' laptop nearby, though my only public ip is a VPS in another country.

Of all the options I found, I liked the look of Nebula most. Fiddly in some places, but it's working nicely for me, and I appreciate some of the simplicity of design.

I'm wondering if people here have much experience of it, though? My biggest concern is over its future. With,

  1. The Defined Networking site focusing on making money off it, and
  2. The Android app doesn't allow full configuration (including the firewall, so I can't host a website from a phone) but - I heard - does if you use Defined Networking's paid service for configuration,

makes me worry they might be essentially trying to deprecate viable FOSS Nebula in favour of a paid or controlled service.

Any thoughts? Insight?

 

I finally watched Frozen 2 on the plane a few days ago. Did somebody pay Disney to shill for homeopathy?
