I’m not even into furry stuff, at all. But I recognize a gatekeeping asshole when I see one.

In furry any culture this is considered a dick move.

IMHO there is no point backing up an OS drive, just rebuild it*.

Data is the important thing to back up because you usually can’t regenerate it.

* the corollary here is that you’ve backed up the configuration required to rebuild the OS.

In the spirit of this thread: no.

Recovering with the backup should put you back to an operational state equivalent to when the backup was taken.

I.e. if you’ve restored some files, but something is still not working then the backup failed its purpose.

E.g. the timestamps on the files might be important, do they need to be stamped with the time of the backup or the time of the restore?

It looks like a behind-the-scenes photo. If Spiner was directing, for example.

But some of the background characters look very much like they’re not paying attention or are still in character.

Oh that is clever.

Does curl send a different useragent when it’s piped?

Searching for those words just vomits ‘hOW to SeT cUrL’s UseRaGenT’ blog spam.

How much is that in milli-school buses?

True, for not being at risk from flooding from the ocean given elevation (from sea level).

Local flooding: entirely possible. For example, over a few years city X sinks by a cm, because of that in a flood situation there’s slightly more flood water. Over a large area that might be quality a few acre-feet of water: that’s quite a lot more water.

It’s less that the likely hood of a flood increases and more that the severity of a flood increases.

Anything but metric.

I didn’t quite grok (fuck Elon for ruining that word) that first sentence at first and was wondering what kind of elections you’re having.

There is no antimimetics division: it’s your first day.

I hated it. Consider the first few practice. You’re interviewing them too!

Good signs are employers asking how you work, asking for interesting stories.

He’s not military! Well as much as a romulan can be. He’s a miner!

Edit: whoosh.

Also “explain why it won’t work doing it thus way”.

I feel like I should be looking to bounce to an employer more willing to create quality tools that take more time.

Start now. It’ll take a while to find one. When you’re interviewing, grill the prospective employer on how the team operates. IMHO field experience is less important.

I avoided saying as much in my reply because I think opening with “get a better job” is a dick move, but if you’re considering it… start.

I’m a big fan of pair programming. I’m also a fan of rubber duck programming when solo.

I’ve found that an LLM agent can be useful as a rubber duck that can respond and sometimes as a more experienced pair that already knows things that I’m less experienced in.

Everything always needs to be shipped fast and I need to move on to the next thing.

This isn’t the AI’s fault, it’s the culture of your employer. A 100% human workforce would write poor quality code too. Using an LLM is just making you more productive in terms of what productive means for your employer: churning out rubbish faster.

Yet those same fools go out during daylight under the sun, which can radiation burn your skin in minutes.

No. Worry about your microwaves and wifi and cellular phones!

It’s what the ‘C’ stands for. Internet Relay Cancer.

Everyone likes to cancer with their friends. Call them up on the 'phone to have a cancer.

Both of those are common. If you’re thinking of using keys also read up on OAuth Client Credentials Flow, rather than reinvent the wheel.

mTLS is another way, where the client also sends a TLS certificate to the server so they both know each other are who they say they are.
