How is this infuriating?

Would you like to sleep in a bed with clean sheets and have a shower in a clean cubicle?

How do you think that this happens?

Yeah, good luck with that. The Facebook bots are so bad, they literally hammer sites into the ground, to the point where they’re actively being blocked.

Where is this “community” you speak of?

I was recently introduced to a Microsoft focused Managed Service Provider who told me to my face that they absolutely adopted it in their business to “help run it”.

After that I stopped listening to anything they had to say.

Microsoft has very deep tentacles all over the Australian Government, even more after they donated some money for a random new initiative which does nothing for society and in my opinion absolutely benefits the Microsoft bottom line.

We’ve had “Cash for Comments”, this is “Government Bought and Paid For”…

I did originally write that in my post, but deleted it because I asked myself, “What’s the alternative?”

I’ve been using Linux for almost 25 years and I’ve never once considered mouse or keyboard incompatibility, and that’s including ADB, PS/2 and DB9 devices, let alone USB.

As far as I know, you can intercept any signal from any such HID device and map it to whatever action you want to achieve at whatever level you need it.

I’m happy to be wrong, but I’d be surprised.

And so the world of WordPress comes to an inglorious ending …

AI does not mean Artificial Intelligence, it means Assumed Intelligence.

Seriously? From the README:

I would like to first fix the kernel headers issues that break the UAPI for C++ compilers (because they use C++ keywords that break C++ code) and the Windows filesystem (Windows filesystem is case-insensitive, so some headers cannot be stored on Windows filesystems).

I can’t wait to see this kernel become dependent on .NET

If you’re wondering, this is what embrace, extend and extinguish looks like.

Well AWS ACM already automates this, so if the renewal period gets shortened, I’m guessing that this will be updated to suit, unless I’m misunderstanding your point.

I hadn’t considered the CPU load, but that’s a fair point. I’m guessing that a suitable piece of code will utilise specialised hardware, or perhaps leverage the GPU or just in time SSL certificates will become a thing.

I’m not familiar with either, but Duck Duck Go suggests:

I’m sorry, but has no-one heard of https://letsencrypt.org that issues certificates via API for free?

I would not be surprised if certificates at some point will be issued for each session.

You don’t need anything as elaborate as you appear to be contemplating.

Insert a large capacity microSD card into your mobile phone and load it up with media.

Share as required.

If you use a raspberry pi for each USB device, you could use multicast to distribute the iso across the network once and have each pi write it to the USB drive connected locally.

I also had a quick look around and found this:

One other idea I came across was to setup the devices as a raid array and write to the raid device.

They’d cut off their nose to spite their face?

The Creative Commons website helps you pick the correct licence:

Not sure if the Linux NTFS driver supports read-write access. If it does, you should be able to remount it as rw. If not, there are rescue disks around that do have rw NTFS support.

You could just delete the entire partition and recreate it. You’d need to unmount it before you do.

Boot from a livecd and figure out what is going on.

Well it’s a post truth world … apparently, and I was always taught that the truth hurts…

It’s true, but it’s not obvious if you’re new to the fediverse, since until now the closest we’ve had to decentralized communities online is Usenet and that’s only familiar to you if you’re been online for 30 years or more.
