Yes and that’s why I said 8 billion and not 80, I accounted for the fact that this was one year worth of work.

Spending 8 billion to find half a billion doesn’t sound like something worth bragging about. Let me know when they 20x that number.

Tick bites can cause it. Something about your body building immunity to a protein transferred by the tick that closely matches those found in beef or something like that.

TLDR: Ubuntu Pro offers additional security patches to packages found in the universe repo. Universe is community maintained so Ubuntu is essentially stepping in to provide critical CVE patches to some popular software in this repo that the community has not addressed.

I suppose it depends on how you look at it but I don’t really see this as withholding patches. Software in this repo would otherwise be missing these patches and it’s a ton of work for Ubuntu to provide these patches themselves.

Now is they move glibc to universe and tell me to subscribe to get updates I’ll feel differently.

Nobody is coming after you, don’t worry about it. If they were really determined? Maybe, possibly, depending on many factors but you’re a very small fish in a very big pond.

Car seats are not gate checked. Strollers can be since parents use them up until boarding but car seats are checked with the rest of your luggage.

Edit: I forgot to account for car seats that are part of a stroller… I imagine those would have to be gate checked as well. That’s a special case though.

I don’t know, I’ve never looked into it. Unless you can rent them at the airport though I don’t see it being helpful.

Sometimes you can book a car service in advance that will provide one.

Regardless it’s going to be extra cost and something extra to worry about when you arrive which isn’t worth it to me personally.

You retrieve them from baggage claim just like everyone else, at least that’s been my experience across multiple airlines.

Your didn’t have a car seat with you? I can see getting away without a stroller if you use a carrier but no car seat isn’t an option.

I almost never checked bags prior to having a child but there’s been plenty of times where the airline checked my bags at the gate because the overheads were full so I quickly learned it’s something you can’t count on.

Yea they’re internal. That’s normal for a fully loaded 2u storage server. Some even have 2-4 extra disk slots in the rear to cram in a few more.

I concur and it just gets worse the more hardware you have in them. 256G of memory and 24 disks? Might as well go have lunch while it boots.

This is wild. I had no idea this was possible.

If you think it might help I’ve got a bit of a hack I’ve used in the past to cache a sql database in a compressed ramdisk using zram and bcache. Imagine stuffing a 50G DB into 20G of memory.

It won’t fix the inefficient SQL queries but it would make it so frequently accessed tables get cached in a ram disk cutting query time significantly.

This might be enough to reduce the impact of these attacks until queries can be optimized.

This assumes your database isn’t running on something like RDS though.

This made me laugh. Configuration management systems like ansible, chef, salt, and puppet only exist because people wanted to manage a large numbers of systems and keep them consistent and replaceable, i.e treat them like cattle instead of pets. They were born out of the pets vs cattle analogy.

I realize containerization has taken that a step further but it’s funny to hear someone talk about these tools like they’re something archaic.

This was available to watch on a United flight I took. I didn’t get the chance to watch it but the description was gold.

Those features are what bring in revenue and I don’t blame them for trying to be profitable. You can only get so far on lifetime subscriptions.

As long as they don’t abandon the core product so I can continue using it as the awesome media server that it is I have no complaints. They can add all the additional features they want.

DVR, commercial skip, intro and credit detection, plexpy etc… are all awesome features which have been added in the last 5 years or so and enhance the core product.
