corsicanguppy, to linux in How do you deal with the logs on your servers?

Heh. Kickin’ it old skool. Nice.

corsicanguppy, to linux in How do you deal with the logs on your servers?

So does syslog; and really well. Logging is just another thing Lennart tried to take over from a working system, that he and Kay half-delivered, and wandered off. See also: nfsroot, fast boots, easy init config, nfs mounts in general, and cron.

corsicanguppy, to canada in 'I hope the Canadians are watching': U.S. senator tees off on Canada's military spending

If anyone is familiar with absolutely massive spending, a republican would know. Canada’s military spending wouldn’t even measure up to the kickbacks.

But, if we’re opening the floor for advice on each other’s spending, I’m gonna get some popcorn for when our turn comes to speak.

corsicanguppy, to canada in Health Canada says it won’t mandate standards for long-term care homes

But in our case, if it’s still overseen by the gov, we have a chance to start stepping back from that dystopian hell.

In America, if it’s part of the mercenary corporate care structure, I’m worried our best friends down there have almost NO recourse to get their final infrastructure fixed.

Heh. Easy there, Satan. But I do like how you weaponised S.O ;-)

UI-wise, though, it’s toxic, and therefore slower and more stressing. It’s something that can be fixed, and ergo essentially a bug. ;-)

Not agreeing with you there, even if I may actually agree with you. I’m just saying it’s no time to compare ourselves and try to win worst place when there are so many better models to work toward.

Depending on whom you vote for, they’ll either shrink it where it hurts or grow it back out again. Your choice.

corsicanguppy, to britishcolumbia in What's behind the summer travel chaos at B.C. Ferries? | CBC News

Poor decisions. That’s what’s behind it.

  • low pay vs work conditions, so no staff
  • seemingly high ticket price, I guess to pay CEOs and buy bad boats; not for staff.
  • boats that can’t handle a crosswind and must still turn at 1/2 the docks if they choose to run them
  • no spare equipment to swap in during maintenance or repairs

It’s like they’ve officially run out of clue at all levels of that organization, and can’t win for losing.

I think I’m both upset that my friend left working IT there because I don’t have the inside scoop in that sector, but I’m glad he’s away from an outfit that’s gonna get worse before it gets better.

I know the period of time when BCFerries didn’t suck and when it was part of MoT was coincidental in its overlap, but I want to believe it was better back then: the current brass is looking a bit redundant today, and I bet we could save money with a merge with no reduction from ‘worst performance ever’.

I’m still pissed over removing +words. Like, G+ is gone, guys, so revert that mess.

corsicanguppy, (edited ) to programming in The Fall of Stack Overflow

Not only post, but I have content that still feeds me residual cool-points even now.

I got a nastygram because I was editing the questions to follow a proper style and form (AP) and some people got upset that my comments were more “run on sentence” and " ‘emails’ and ‘helps’ both sound wrong as nouns for the same reason" instead of something like “there-there, Timmy”.

So I said “you can have free editing, or the next guy can be a people person instead.” And they agreed.

So I’m read-only there now too. :-D

“you shouldn’t do that, do Y instead”

That’s one of my favorites: ignore the problem, only pick on the scope we can’t change.

This isn’t the “bad prison” Olympics: no one gets a prize for the worst.

Careful. You’re edging into the “small government” territory that sounds great but really means less food safety and building inspection and similar services, and more stuff taken private. It’s not what we want for sure.

Pshaw. That amendment only applies to rich people.~
