(Quote) A lot of it is quite niche, and not zero-value. For instance, the 8-bit machines will sell for about £100 each on ebay, if and when I can ever get my ass in gear to sort through it and list it. It's just never quite worth my time to spe…

I hoard old equipment. I have about 30 8-bit computers (mostly the same model), but none of them have been plugged in for years. I have every PC I've ever owned (I think), including the 133 MHz thing that there's literally no use for. I ha…

(Quote) There are lots of laws around food preparation for one. Also, a provider of coffee isn't legally required to know their customer, so it's alright for purchasers of coffee to lie about their identity when ordering, but it's not…

(Quote) It's also fairly easy to pay 200 RMB for a burger in Shanghai. Salaries in Shanghai for Chinese people can also be as low as 1000 RMB per month or well over 90000 RMB per month. I do agree that the median is more around 10000 RMB though…

(Quote) Thanks for the Christmas gift, but I'd rather you chose another winner for this as I'm trying to reduce my collection of idlers. Hope you have a happy holiday season too!

Having a numeric only ID might be the problem. Maybe ssh is interpreting it as a user ID rather than user name. If you're really intent on having this, you might also want to change their user ID (probably 10xx currently) to the same as the us…

(Quote) If you've not yet fixed this, at a guess the .ssh directory is probably readable/writable by other users. Try chmod og-rwx ~user/.ssh

(Quote) Just as there's a huge difference between making a joke about someone's nose because of a stereotypical genetic trait and full on misogyny.

(Quote) Firstly, an apology. I'm still in the middle of COVID and my attention span isn't much more than a couple of minutes on anything, right now, so maybe I've not picked up on subtle nuance in what you were saying, but it seems we…

(Quote) So, to repeat the last part of my comment: If so, why should it be any different for sexism?
-
(Quote) My point was that we wouldn't tolerate people being openly racist here, even if they justified it as "oh, this is just me being me, i don't really mean any offence, you don't have to read it, move along and read something…
-
(Quote) On the surface, this sounds reasonable, but actually what this translates to is wanting to perpetuate the status quo. (Quote) Would you be as equally cool with an overt racist posting on here, saying "Take it or leave it, does not matt…

I'm curious what 'needs new root" ' means in this context? As a standard procedure you should thoroughly wipe and re-install a VPS prior to transferring to someone, and after receiving a transfer, you shouldn't trust it and…

Disclaimer: I've not used any of these apart from paying others. I'd have thought stripe would win if you need to receive international payments as it allows you to collect VAT at the correct rate without much effort (at least according t…

For me, the biggest shift in programming languages since 2000 is the popularity of closures. Before 2000, they were quite a niche concept but they're now an essential part of most modern languages.

I'm still going to defend OVH. In 9.5 years, I didn't have a single power outage or reboot that I didn't initiate myself. My KS-LE-1 has so far only been just over 12 months, but likewise it's never exhibited any unexpected outag…

(Quote) Thanks for the comments! It was fun to do, and I liked the idea of doing several at once for a giveaway, even if it made it a bit more complicated. I think my takeaway is that the beacon is a fair way of offering things like this, and surpr…
-
(Quote) Are you going to just keep asking the same question every few minutes until someone answers? Maybe if you actually read the specs on offer from the official BF deal and the reseller deals, you'd immediately see the difference. Hint: it…
-
(Quote) Ah, gotcha. I thought it was a fixed £600 for the company. Yeah, makes sense then.
-
(Quote) I'm not a customer, so I might be missing something obvious that your panel supports that SolusVM doesn't, but on the face of what you've written here, it seems like making your own panel cost more than paying the SolusVM fees…

Sorry you missed out, but I wanted to make sure I had the ticket for service transfer in before the weekend. @jmaxwell had already given my his details by the time you replied, as I've already started the transfer process to him.

(Quote) Who'd have thought it'd be so hard to give things away? I gave him more than an hour's grace on top of the 24 hours, and still haven't heard from him, so I'm passing this to the next person... $ BEACON=5591e1fc8e241…

(Quote) I see what you did there! :D
