Ah yes. The old anti-privacy mantra: you have nothing to worry about, if you have nothing to hide.

That it may be but there’s no excuse.

Declare an incident first, investigate later.

Cheating SLAs by delaying the incident is a good way to erode trust within and without.

Plausible but likely wrong.

As long as we keep buying stuff wrapped in plastic, someone needs to keep making more of it.

It’s not gross. It’s a simple solution to a simple and common cron problem

Just because it doesn’t consider external executions, it doesn’t mean it’s a bad solution. Horses for courses etc

New comment by thiagocsf in "The best kimchi is made in earthenware pots"

I’ve made it about the same number of times, and I’ve enjoyed them all. Maybe I don’t know what really good kimchi tastes like.

It lasts for a long time in the fridge and, imo, it gets better with time. The ingredients I use aren’t always the same, aside from the cabbage, salt and garlic.

I’ve used different combinations of carrot, spring onion, chilli flakes, ginger, fish sauce. I’m keen to try the anchovy paste that I just learnt about.

You probably know this, but Alma means “soul” in Portuguese.

Is this why you picked the name? I like it. I went with Ada myself (after Lovelace - wife only found-out why years later).

When you’re using a starter, things get more interesting because you need to account for the water and flour content in it.

It usually doesn’t complicate it too much because most starters are 100% hydration - ie equal mass of flour and water.

Is that because of regulation? What’s the concern of having open source for RF firmwares?

Try also “batida”: equal parts cachaça, lime (not lemon!) juice, water, and sugar to taste.

Great in small sips as a palate cleanser when having bbq.

Pedantic note about ctrl+d: it doesn’t mean logout. It sends and EOF character.

Said EOF is honoured by your TTY, which closes the FD this ending the session.

You can see this by typing `cat -` and ending it with ctrl+d. The windows equivalent is ctrl+z.
