I am currently listening to Good Omens, Terry Pratchet and Neil Gaiman
Iam sure its great, but i have trouble to actively listen during the evening currently. but that’s a me problem.
Reading
Dracula, Bram Stoker not my first time reading it, so glossing over lines isnt a huge problem, but this book is just comfortably creepy.
sometimes i like that a lot of my work is typical enterprise stuff. nothing gets to prod without some poor soul working through a huge test catalogue on a seperate environment and/or a higher up signs off on it.
it’s also annoying because, you cant “just ship” a small fix or change without someone signing off on it.
It was written as part of my work.
check your contract, you might not own the code and your organization may have a process to determine how to license something.
to your other questions (IANAL)
no, the solution is not to pay someone to have someone to blame if shit happens.
there are a bus load of people involved on the way from a git repo to actuall stuff running on a machine and everyone in that chain is responsible to have an eye on what stuff they are building/packaging/installing/running and if something seems off, it’s their responsibility to investigate and communicate with each other.
attacks like this will not be solved by paying someone to read source code, because the code in the repo might not be what is going to run on a machine or might look absolutely fine in a vacuum or will be altered by some other part in the chain. and even if you have dedicated code readers, you cant be sure that they are not compromised or that their findings will reach the people running/packaging/depending on the software.
i can’t see how paying someone would have changed anything in this scenario.
this seems to be a long running campaign to get someone into a position where they could introduce malicious code. the only thing different would have been that the bad actor would have been paid by someone.
this is not to say, that people working on foss should not be paid. if anything we need more people actively reviewing code and release artifacts even if they are not a contributor or maintainer of a piece of software.
And no, I have not tested it because I don’t know how I’m actually supposed to do that.
depends on what you backup and how.
if it’s just “dumb” files (videos, music pictures etc.), just retrieve them from your backups and check if you can open the files.
complex stuff? probably try to rebuild the complex stuff from a backup and check if it works as expected and is in the state you expect it to be in. how to do that really depends on the complex stuff.
i’d guess for most people it’s enough to make sure to backup dumb files and configurations, so they can rebuild their stuff rather than being able to restore a complex system in exactly the same state it was in before bad things happened.
when they released they were real time with pause, like the old baldurs gate games.
they added a turn based mode though, in a later patch.
maybe the pathfinder games by owlcat. the pathfinder rules they use are very very simmiliar to d&d 3.5 so, should feel familiar if you enjoyed neverwinter.
they are not super hardware hungry and run without a problem through proton/wine.
so is dracut and weston.
i think that naming software after towns in Massachusetts is somekind of red hat in-joke.
technicaly correct, and i am no lawyer, but i can’t see how in the world i owe anyone a warranty that loads code on their machines, compiles it and uses it, all without any input by me.
everything that i intend to be more than throw away code, that lives for whatever reason in a public repo gets either an MIT or an gplv3 license.
nah, than ibm will annoy you, that they need a special license that allows them to be a dick while using your code.
just like they asked the JSLint guys to use JSLint for evil.
code that needs a license, but i really don’t care what you do with it gets a wftpl.
It’s absent in the biologist sure, she is driven by curiosity, and the loss of her partner.
But the Director? She saw numerous highly skilled people enter the are without returning, but still thought she could somehow make a difference and ultimately understand what area x is.
Lowry still thinks it’s something he could, and only him could deal with, so he keeps messing with the missions and has everyone brainwashed.
Control atleast starts out thinking he has the reigns in hand, but he atleast begins to understand how ununderstandable the situation is to him.
But to be honest, i found it really hard to get anything from the books where i could say: “yeah, that’s definitely something this is about” it has many themes and layers and it’s just so thoroughly weird that i am not really sure about anything i experienced reading it.
Been a while since i read the southern reach trillogy, but i guess the biggest theme for me was human hubris, to think that we are actually in control and understand this huge world we live in.
Other than that, it’s also a damn beautiful horror trip.
Fyi: Libre Office is the actively developed Open Office fork.
Don’t know how it stacks up to MS Office though.
Most clients are web browsers and support for torrents in http is the same as for every other file.
So that would only give us a use for torrents as a form of content distribution plattform to get the actual files closer to the client.
In cases where we have actual non browser clients: i like to curate what i am distributing and don’t want to distribute anything i happen stumble upon or would you be willing to store and more importantly share everything you find on 4chan or that might show up in your mastodon feed?
En Garde! Nice indie game, with a combat system simmiliar to sekiro, but very lighthearted presentation. Also started paradise killer. Definitely interesting, but not sure if it’s a game for me
Return of reckoning is a fan run continuation of the warhammer mmo, that might be something you enjoy.
Cs:go, dota 2, artifact and underlords i think.
I guess this is estimated revenue through game sales, otherwise i’d think activision-blizzard(candy crush) and valve(steam cut, dota and cs micro transactions, steam market) would be higher.
And of course MS has an interest to undervalue some companies compared to sony and nintendo
I’ve got “a full cast production” and Neil is not listed as one of the cast.
i think voice work is done by actors that were part of the amazon series based on the book, i atleast recognize david tennant :D
