It can, but this depends on the implementation details of your config management configuration, rather than the tool which you use for your config management.

e.g., I once wrote an Ansible playbook that fetched the list of all installed packages and purged those not explicitly whitelisted, then installed the packages that were in the whitelist. That made it possible to assert that all hosts had the exact same list of packages installed.

@mirabilos
There are other config management systems that don't require YAML. The ability to be able to say, with actual proof, that all hosts in your configuration are configured the exact same way is not to be underestimated though.

Friend of mine built and sold DIW book digitisers a while ago. Dunno if they still do, but the concept was: Canon camera with free firmware, place to place the book, you press a pedal which pushes a piece of glass onto the book to hold the open pages in place and triggers the camera, you release the pedal, flip the page, rinse, repeat.

Allowed you to scan a while book into a PDF in an hour at most.

Absent that, a standard scanner should also work, though be slower?

It being considered ok by most people for things to be so crashy in those days was a major reason why I moved on to Linux...

Female connectors? Never heard of them.

Also, what network issues? Yes you need to know how to use them, but I do and have never had issues with my own work 😉
@highvoltage

I ran out of network plugs, so wanted to order a new batch. I see now in my order history that I accidentally got two in quantity rather than 1.

Surprisingly though they're very different, the two of them.

Ah well, I'm sure they'll both work. Any network to be done soon, @highvoltage ? If so I'm happy to come help 😂

Only if the case makes it out of the initial proceedings. I was named in Pocock's lawsuit in NYC but that one was so unhinged it (luckily) got tossed out before it even made the opening gates.

This might hopefully meet the same fate.

Because they're not in the business of selling flower stalks? Unfortunately would be confusing in that way.

Not before the dates are announced, which usually happens around September.

(No I don't have inside info anymore, see https://pleroma.debian.social/notice/B3tXH9Fp2SsjoobEzA, but there's no reason that I can see that any of that might have changed)

Or me, ever. I have dozens of different teas from all over the world, if you add sugar then it stops being tea and just becomes sugar water.

If you want that I can pour you a cup of hot water and add some sugar to it. Just don't ask me to spend any of my tea on you

Shit, no. Commodore 64, LOGO, when in 6th year of primary school, in class. That would have been either 1989 or 1990. Also Belgium.

Of course you programmed what the teacher told you to program, but I do remember faffing around a bit with the turtle after that. So I guess it counts.

@liw
Commodore 128DCR, Belgium, early nineties (not sure of the year).

Was a hand me down.

If s has a length of 3, it will. Copilot isn't wrong? The right way to do this is

min(strlen(s), 2).

Unless of course you are able to guarantee in the contextual code that s is never longer than 2.

@NanoRaptor
Do you lose everything when you make the first mistake or is that just the payout point? Would be a big difference 🙂

Don't forget the -y to force overwriting the existing certificate.

@algernon
Yes, now that you mention it I remember doing that too at some point; but usually what I need to do is make sure things talk to me and don't fall over at the first sight of a client, for which a login command is enough and I don't need to do more.
