Oh, so they are going the Chef-route?! :(

I do hope a community fork works out - I wouldn't even know where to migrate to for managing full VMs in such a nice way(puppetserver/puppetdb/bolt)...

Looks like there is something wrong with your domain :(

- docsplus.co gets redirected to www.docsplus.co

- this shows a godaddy parking site

- plus the cert is only valid for docsplus.co

Whats the point of that without having arguments against each excuse or offering solutions?

or is this just and "you're an idiot for thinking that" sign?

This also happens with work-related messengers and calls.

After transitioning to remote work during lockdown, chat&calls suddenly become mandatory to look at ASAP. Now I sometimes get multiple urgend messages while beeing on a surprising call. In the office, these people would see that I'm busy and wait. Now I have to line them up and prioritize them myself..

It took me a while to figure out that a few hours of this process could ruin a full day of productivity + requires much more mental work to regenerate after.

I do have ADHD though - so this is one of my biggest issues even under normal circumstances.

No need for using the term "fake news". Noone posted any news, nor are they fake.

It's not about possible access of classified information, but the now unknown state of the devices and systems.

Physical barriers, like a guarded entry, produce a zone of trust. People are searched for weapons on entries to somewhat guarantee that no weapons are inside. Once the entry is un-guarded, the trust level is 0% and needs to rebuild.

I've seen "just WIN+L" on Twitter a lot...

Relying on humans locking their PC in event of a terrorist attack isn't a IT-Security concept.

Security consists of a threat model and many layers of security measures. Many many outer layers have failed here. I wouldn't blame an individual nor a department here. It's one of those events that probably wasn't in the scope. Additionally, roles/security clearance levels etc. still work regardless of the account beeing open to anyone.

Things like Smartcards, Yubikeys, auto-lockscreen could have failed the same way. Maybe a GPO failed, or a windows update broke the auto-lock.... that's why all these many layers exist.

I totally understand why. It just felt weird the first time I came across a beautiful Linux Mint app, that couldn't be ported to windows..

.. the cool thing is, that it is possible with WSL and it probably will be almost seamless in the future - without additional work for the devs.

I specifically want to use Planner because of the local mode. Afaik ther are no nice local-only todo apps for windows with sub-task support.

It's so sad to see cool Linux tools without a Windows version:(

I get why; I'm just sad - especially because some Linux users are annoyed by "Windows only" tools and then they use linux only features, that never can't be ported to other operating systems as well(not because lack of people, but incompatibility).

Planner is one of those amazing niche tools that doesn't exist for Windows. It looks amazing - congrats!

> - Lifting weights is indeed worth the hype, and its benefits are more diffuse than just “being able to lift heavy things.”

This was unexpected, but true. I started a few month ago, because I moved and noticed that carrying the goceries in the 4th floor interrupted my whole day...

Every movement includes moving weight. It basically makes the whole life easier
