Comparing systemd and Kubernetes for this scenario is like comparing an apple tree to a citrus grove.

You can specify just about anything, including exact nodes, for Kubernetes workloads.

This is just injecting some of that automatically.

I'm not knocking systemd, it's just not relevant.

I agree, except I've been much happier with Wellbutrin. After getting through the initial insomnia a few years ago and switching to normal release, not extended, I have good focus and don't have tremors or back pain like I did with stimulants.

> do Android "business profiles" also include browser sessions

I believe that is typical.

My business profile has it's own instance of Chrome. Mostly used for internal and external sites that require corporate SSO or client certificates. Of course it could be used to browse anything.

I'm not GP, but perhaps something like the following would be a reason (investigation might be a more accurate term than post-mortem in that case).

>In October 2020, Vista's CEO Robert F. Smith and investor Robert T. Brockman were named in a tax evasion case.[33][34] That month, Smith signed a non-prosecution agreement with the IRS, agreeing to pay $139 million and testify against Brockman.[33]

Aha, yes, `-o IdentityAgent=/dev/null` is better for my intent. I was confused that `-i` wasn't removing .ssh/id_rsa from the candidates, but that was ssh-agent.

  ssh -a -i /dev/null -o IdentityAgent=/dev/null terminal.shop

That looks pretty solid. Thanks!

I'm curious why you added `-i /dev/null`. IIUC, this doesn't remove ssh-agent keys.

If you want to make sure no keys are offered, you'd want:

  ssh -a -o IdentitiesOnly=yes terminal. Shop

I'm not sure if the `-i` actually prevents anything, I believe things other than /dev/null will still be tried in sequence.

US is 15th in median wealth and it's population exceeds the 14 countries ahead combined. That's a big target.

Your question seems like a false dichotomy.

I pack some backup clothes (undershirt, underwear, socks), they mostly stay in my bike bag because I rarely use them. If I do need them, I just go to the bathroom, then change back into the bike clothes for the ride home. If it's really hot, I might switch it up and put the office clothes in the bag from the start - meaning I know I'll need a change.

Really not that complicated.

Seems like that ship has sailed. Maybe it's a plugin already or could be in the future, but that's not on GP's suggestion.

> the foundation likely being an US nonprofit, so integrating foreigners in the board may be extremely difficult.

As far as I know, it's not a problem. At first glance, PSF board and officers bios appear fairly international currently.

A foreign controlled, foreign benefitting organization that sends nearly all contributions to foreign organizations might not be tax exempt in the US, but that doesn't sound like the PSF.

The dirt cheap mechanical keyboard I just bought is USB-C. Which was great, because I didn't need an adapter.

> an EV is very compelling as a secondary vehicle

This is a strange way to think about it. Our secondary vehicle has a huge gas tank and other things we need rarely. Our primary vehicle has what we need day to day, just enough seats for the family and space for groceries.

It does make sense from one perspective I've seen. Scammers are using 2FA to lock people out of their own accounts and demand a ransom for the tokens. Happened to a friend of mine a couple months ago.

I'm one of the few who couldn't care less. I just want it hidden, same with the dock on macOS.

Use the keyboard to launch and switch apps.
