  • Political revolutions usually involve a wealthy class being kept away from political power, combined with a particularly unpopular and stupid absolute ruler.

    In the US, the wealthy are the political class, and while Trump is stupid and unpopular he has only been in power a year. Most people think he will be gone in 3 more years, and even if he jettisons the Constitution and stays in as President, he is old and unhealthy.

  • I'm old school, and would set up Fetchmail. It can pull down either POP or IMAP (I haven't used POP in 25+ years, but I guess it works fine still). Then I'd run Dovecot or some other IMAP server on my host to read mail from there.

  • Increases in productivity go to the owners, not the workers. Even imaginary increases in productivity.

  • Mostly accurate, although the flight delays tend to be announced one short delay at a time. "We're going to be a few minutes late pulling out from the gate." "We missed out takeoff window, so we're going to have a 20 minute delay." "We need to refile our paperwork, so we're heading back to the gate." "Ground crew changed shift, so we need another 45 minutes." And so on...

  • He was President for 4 years and then tried a coup after losing the election. He was elected in 2024 anyway.

  • Until there's an easy way to have an algorithm other than date order, Mastodon will always be sort of "meh" for me.

  • DNS is never the Domain Name Service.

    The very first sentence of RFC 1034, the document that is the basis of DNS, identifies it as the Domain Name System.

  • Also, buying or building something to cover the less is cheap, and possibly fun, mini-project. As long as you allow a bit of airflow....

  • What do you use for your Kubernetes build?

    Also, do you have an S3 compatible storage? If not, what do you use for persistence?

  • One reply to this is that God can do anything possible.

    Now, ideas about what is possible vary. For example Descartes could not conceive of a triangle where the angles did not add up to 180°. However, even in Descartes' time it was known that a triangle on a sphere will have angles that add up to more than 180° (you can make a triangle with 3 right angles on a globe and those angles add up to 270°).

    So the idea might be refined to be more that nonsensical things remain nonsensical. As in, you can ask the question, "Can God change the color of a flower to Tuesday?" But even though it is perfectly correct English, it doesn't make sense, and your question is bogus, not God.

  • Saying "please" when asking someone to do you a favor isn't excessive, IMHO. It indicates that you are making a request and not issuing an order, and recognizes that you are grateful for the assistance.

  • That and the century of humiliation.

  • Presumably you had to travel to get there. It's likely you didn't have anything to drink while travelling. So they offer you a drink.

    Also, it's nice to sit and chat while enjoying a drink, whether that is a warm drink (coffee, tea, whatever), a cold drink (water, juice, soda, whatever), or an alcoholic drink (beer, wine, whatever).

    Edit: Also why are you annoyed? If you don't want anything a simple "nothing for me, thanks" is fine and shouldn't put you out too much!

  • Totally off topic, but man that is one terrible table design. 😆

  • Didn't the Ultima series start in the 1980s? My friends and I spent ages on Ultima III!
