Xournal lets you paint on a document, which I guess isn’t what they need when they talk about legal stuff. Digitally signing a document is still one of the rare cases where I boot up my windows vm. It’s so annoying that there’s practically no way to do that in Linux as my company’s processes rely on it.

I want to get off Mr. Bones’ Wild Ride

I know this is the arch community, so this might not apply, but KDE’s Dolphin file manager has audio CD ripping integrated, with different folders being shown for different formats when you open an audio CD (like, “audio CD” has subfolders called “mp3” or “flac”), so you can just copy those files somewhere and it rips and encodes them in the background.

It surely is going to help “marketing” with “numbers”.

Liked your comment so much I just did it there.

I’m just really looking forward to that optimistic feeling of looking into a bright future. It’s what I always loved trek for and from the looks of it, Resurgence captures it.

But you can’t do everything in js? Ever tried writing an operating system in an interpreted language?

You could call them “commies”.

Good. I hate bags that keep that precious garbage juice to themselves.

Oh we have a dedicated Linux service contract with a dedicated Linux support company that has technicians just to deal with Linux issues and provide the Linux setup. We’ve had time to adapt. I guess some bloke still decided that there just had to be a malware scanner and now we all have to eat shit. This is much less a lesson for it departments and much more a lesson that the people who manage stuff just have other goals than the people working with the tools that are managed, so you end up with somebody who wants to cover their ass in case something goes wrong in the future and makes it a terrible experience for everybody in the process but can sell it as a necessity to the people below and as action to the people above.

Same. The Linux setup there is a fucking mess though… AD authentication freezes login for a minute or so if you switch networks at the wrong moment, puppet keeps messing with the system and recently they installed clamav as a live malware scanner on all machines, making them eat batteries for breakfast and slowing down even menial tasks. If you have admin rights, they refuse to add your user to sudoers but instead create a new admin user (another indicator that they’re just really coming from windows) which everybody just uses to add their original user to sudoers, which was a nice workaround but which they now noticed and want to prohibit via puppet or user rights or something. It’s just such a mess. I mean, still leagues ahead of using windows, but a corporate environment really is a machine that transforms time and money into a terrible experience for everybody.

You know, the universe doesn’t offer much beyond that ship called the Enterprise… What could they possibly do?

What about weekends? Do I have to do it on weekends?

I’m not sure if I’m convinced. Could you post a screenshot of a solved captcha to prove it?

Man, I’m just preaching to the choir here it seems, but yeah, Voyager as well.

Nice. So, I have an encfs folder on a cloud storage. Any way to use vaults to access it? Haven’t even found a way to load existing folders that were set up with vaults, let alone using something else…

Well, I didn’t know it, so I won’t ignore this post! You can’t tell me what to do!

Yeah, sunk too much time in that one.

Still, only paid it once.

What shielded bases were there in the books?

I mean, there was the “shield wall”, but that was just mountains that protected Arrakeen from the desert.

Humans are going to persist

Pretty bold statement there. However, it’s just the civilization that needs to perish, not mankind, for our knowledge to be lost within a few decades.

Considering the number of civilisations that have perished (like, there were quite a lot) vs the number of civilizations that have persisted (uh… One? Which is young and just hasn’t dissolved yet) I’d say the chances for that to happen is definitely not zero. It’s not necessarily one either, of course.
