> Asking for "no politics" is itself a strong political view
No, it explicitly is not, and this "deepity" doesn't change any rational analysis. The injection of politics into every aspect of society must and should be refused.
Politics is more of a way of thinking and speaking than about any specific topic. For those of us who see a lot of problems with society but know that things will never be how they "should be", it is healthy to limit amount of time spent thinking about problems that cannot and will not be solved.
please tell me about the intricate politics of a phone booth. just because you can make everything political doesn't mean it is inherently political or doesn't make you look like a terminal online annoying loser when you try to compensate for your vapid personality outside of ideological dogma.
Phone booths are made by the phone company to increase the money they make, that's political. Phone booths are made with more or less shielding implying a greater or lesser danger to their occupant, that's politics. The ones at the airport have glass dividers while the ones at the lonely gas station at night are fully enclosed with thick glass. Different ones have different amounts of graffiti and different likelihood of being vandalised at any given time. You will find this correlates with demographics. Phone booths have disappeared as we all got portable phones in our pockets, but those phones also track us and some people might prefer the relative privacy of an impersonal phone booth, but can't because they no longer exist.
I didn't realize, until recognizing Bradbury in that image yesterday, that HTTP status 451 is an explicit reference to "Fahrenheit 451", but apparently it is: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7725
I have a spreadsheet I've been using since 2017 to track all my spending and savings accounts on a weekly basis, plus some trend analytics, plus some simple graphs on multiple sheets. A few hundred rows and columns, both entered and calculated values (simple formulas, nothing fancy). Haven't noticed any slowness. When I have some data to look at (like .csv or even .xlsx), I always use Calc. I work with Excel at work all the time, it might be faster on larger data sets, but Libre's Calc is more than enough for many use cases.
Yeah, I imagine this will help a lot of people who created retrospectively-cringey email addresses in their youth, but kept them over the years because of inertia

Not a perfect defense, but sufficient to make your key much harder to exploit: Use a Yubikey (or similar) resident SSH key, with the Yubikey configured to require a touch for each authentication request.
Some distros have better WSL support than others—some will only work with systemd disabled, others have issues with X11. Ubuntu is well supported of course, but on the RHEL-ish side I've found that AlmaLinux 10 works especially well.
These days I use it as a home file server because for my needs, FreeBSD the best tool for that job.
But back in the early 2000s I got access to a free Unix shell account that included Apache hosting and Perl, and if I'm not misremembering, it was running on FreeBSD and hosted by an ISP in the UK using the domain names portland.co.uk and port5.com.
That was formative for me: I learned all of Unix, Perl, and basic CGI web development on that server. I don't know who specifically was running that server, or whether they have any relation to the current owner of that domain. But if you're out there, thanks! Having access to FreeBSD was a huge help to a random high schooler in the U.S., who wouldn't have been able to afford a paid hosting account back then.
Sure, but ZFS is much better integrated into FreeBSD. It supports ZFS on root with boot environments out of the box.
And when running a Samba server, it's helpful that FreeBSD supports NFSv4 ACLs when sitting between ZFS and SMB clients; on Linux, Samba has to hack around the lack of NFSv4 ACL support by stashing them in xattrs.
You can arguably get even better ZFS and SMB integration with an Illumos distribution, but for me FreeBSD hits the sweet spot between being nice to use and having the programs I need in its package library.
The recent addition of dhcp6leased is a great example: Built into the base system, simpler to configure than either dhcp6c or dhcpcd, and presumably also more secure than either.
