In 2291, in an attempt to control violence among deep space miners the New Earth Government legalized no-holds-bared fighting.

Liandri Mining Corporation, working with the NEG, established a series of leagues and bloody public exhibitions.

The fight’s popularity grew with their brutality. Soon, Liandri discovered that the public matches were their most profitable enterprise.

The professional league was formed; a cabal of the most violent and skilled warriors in known space, selected to fight in a Grand Tournament.

Now it is 2341, 50 years have passed since founding of DeathMatch. Profits from the Tournament number in the hundreds of billions.

You have been selected to fight in the professional league by the Liandri Rules Board. Your strength and brutality are legendary.

The time has come to prove you are the best- to crush your enemies- to win the Tournament.

This is the correct answer

Bubbles tend to pop sometimes.

[…] ready enough to convince your boss that it’s ready to replace you at your job."

That’s great though. Then said boss can rehire the people they fired for a noicely risk-adjusted premium.

PostgreSQL is definitely a boost to performance, especially if you offload the DB to a dedicated server (depending on load, can even be a cluster)

Nevertheless, it probably has much to do with how it’s deployed and how many proxies are in front of it, and/or VPN. If you have large numbers of containers and small CPU/low memory hardware, and either running everything on one machine or have some other limitations, it’ll be slow.

Admittedly, I’m not very familiar with the codebase, but I feel Apache isn’t improving the speed either. Not exactly sure how PHP is nowadays with concurrency and async, but generally a microservice type architecture is nice because you can add more workers/instances wherever a bottleneck emerges.

I have no idea what any of these does. I might just aswell be unknowingly installing a keylogger or something.

This actually applies to windows GUI installers just the same. You really don’t know what you’re installing either, although you do usually give it administrator permission to make changes to the system. In some way it’s even worse, it’s “running commands” and hiding it from you.

Same, really love them, as you can wear them for hours and they cause no pressure or uncomfort. ANC is great too. I use them for work.

Depends what device you run, but Xournal++ is useful. Otherwise pdftk.

It’s my daily driver. It has incredible compatibility and very nice features, for example the rule based filter actions, header matching, which immensely boosts my workflow efficiency. Not to mention the calendars and tasks integration and the great extensibility via the plugin system.

Thunderbird is a great example of community driven awesomeness.

I’ve been burnt by my unix arrogance enough times

Same here, haha. As long as you stay away from ideas like “compiling your kernel from scratch” you’ll be fine.

Look up which distros come with drivers/documentation for your hardware (different for many MacBook versions) especially the WiFi/Bluetooth chipset.

Don’t try anything fancy, unless you have a surplus of life energy and time to waste.

2010 MacBook Pro, still runs Arch with ease (back when I set it up I had more time than I do now, would go with a less DIY-ish distro nowadays, probably something Debian based)

The only chore was to get the RTC alarm wake up working, which was a bit hacky.

It’s good to have this exchange posted here.

We often see how the radical/far right and left cozy up to Russia by claiming this exact equivalence.

• Turns out, “you’ve been living in a Dreamland, Neo”

cutting people off from important information just because they live in a geographical region that doesn’t allow secret malware.

I think most disagree with your argument, that you need to tolerate ‘secret malware’ to access important information. That information can’t be THAT important or else it could be found elsewhere, completely without malware.

This is true. However, I don’t see this happening as the website/browser isn’t really the problem with online banking, it’s more often the user.

On another note, how about no access at all, because this is a freaking huge attack surface for (D)DOS. Imagine you just invalidate signatures of all traffic to and from an attestation service. You could almost stop countries from functioning. That’s a serious vulnerability which we can easily do without.
