There’s a very good opinion news article I remember reading about somebody working in the government who investigated room and pillar mining disasters and worked out some benchmarks to determine whether a mine was safe and ended up saving lives. I was about to share it here, but I can’t seem to find it again.
A hacky way to fix that is to make that device your user home directory. If the device contains your user home or root directory, it won’t be removable.
I’m looking through the code now. It looks like it’s getting the device list from multiple sources and the
fstabsource might be losing the race to something else.[1]fstabdevices aren’t removable.
4·12 days agoAt some point, we’re going to have to have verified real human identity crap because the present situation of having to question everything I come across on the internet and essentially CAPTCHA myself to everyone every time I post is giving me a level of stress that makes me want to log off forever and I can’t be the only one.

Yes, there’s a huge debate about it.
17·18 days agoIt really highlights just how centralized so much of the internet is on like three companies (Amazon, Microsoft, and Google)
Cloudflare: What am I? Chopped liver?
It’s got some code duplication. Who can code

The comic is from 2011. The upgrade to OS X Lion, released that year, was paid originally and then made available for free.
8·1 month agoThe EU doesn’t need to be a technology-taker – it can be a technology maker. The Apple/Google duopoly may have sewn up the mobile market with illegal monopoly tactics, but that doesn’t mean that the EU will never spawn another Nokia or Ericsson. The shortest, most efficient, most reliable path to reestablishing technological sovereignty for the EU’s half-billion residents and 27 member-states is to allow domestic firms to take over the relationship between the Trump-controlled American tech giants and the Europeans who rely on their technology.
We don’t typically have our highways owned and operated by for-profit megacorporations. It should be the same with operating systems. It’s the base layer on which all the applications rely. That’s too much control placed in private hands.
3·1 month agoAre there other discussions about this on the net? I glanced at r/rust and HN and didn’t see anything. For such a blatant violation, I’d expect to see lots of drama and shaming going on.
2·1 month agoI become suspicious when I see a Medium user posting well-written deep articles as frequently as this user appears to be doing. How can we tell whether this is AI slop or not?
In America, you pay for app. In Soviet Russia, app pays for you!
I’m similarly skeptical it’s a genuine outage given how so much stuff nowadays is done with cloud computing which enables dynamic on-demand procurement of server resources. Or whatever the correct terminology is to describe that.

Schools could have used that time they were “teaching” the Office suite to give an introduction to unix, programming, and the basics of how the internet functions. I had to read and analyze Beowulf, Shakespeare, Chaucer, and Homer and memorize the names and formulas of 33 polyatomic ions. Computing education to the same depth should have been and should be required as it was required for the other subjects.
It doesn’t answer your question directly, but https://linuxpreloaded.com/ has a large list of vendors you could check out.
