I think the issue here is that the game developers may not have any contract with PRS. Historically they wouldn’t have had to - they’d license the music from the big music labels, stamp their game onto a CD and sell a product. Now they’re not just selling a product - they’re licensing access to a “performance” of it. Valve is the playing an active part in this by “performing” the works on demand. It seems stupid to me, but that’s the world of content licensing.

But with Steam you haven’t purchased a copy. First sale doctrine isn’t likely to apply. You’ve purchased a license for access.

Our local one put in a tunnel underneath the runway - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKvSYrs0EsY

Though it looks like it might be lost to the public due to expansion plans for the airport :(

I’m not sure I follow the all-in-one schema issue? Won’t each endpoint have its own schema for its response? And if you’re updating things asynchronously then doesn’t versioning each endpoint effectively solve all the problems? That way you have all the resilience of the xml validation along with the flexibility of supplying older objects until each participant is updated.

There are a few closer to turnkey solutions available now, scalefusion & 42gears to name a couple of providers.

Often times it’s more about visibility rather than absolute control - tools like osquery support Linux as well.

As others have said [uv] (https://github.com/astral-sh/uv) is likely a good option but since you’ve mentioned being a data scientist you might also check out [pixi] (https://prefix.dev/tools/pixi).

It’s built on top of conda so will likely have all the packages you might need.

It’s got quite a nice workflow, keeps things contained in the project directory, and adds a few conveniences over standard conda.

Sure, as a good admin he should certainly implement all industry best practices.

Of course, once he did that he’d still have the same fucking problem as unless he convinced the rest of the world to drop SPF the relayed messages would still be rejected.

I think it’s more about making things easy for his employees. His comment is just recognising that they already have personal gmail accounts so he’d like to allow them to use the same client for work email. Data privacy doesn’t seem to be an issue for him.

I do the same thing for my mail - rather than juggle between accounts I can just select from a dropdown which account to send as, and I see all my mail in one inbox.

His setup is complicated because he’s doing additional processing on the incoming mail for his domain - he can’t just hand it over to gmail, he wants to relay it. And because SPF breaks mail relaying he’s been relying on a workaround - he’ll just move on to implement RFC8617 instead now (assuming that gmail supports it - it’s still listed as experimental).

It’s not his SPF record.

The forwarding he’s talking about isn’t the same as you hitting forward in your mail client.

SPF only authenticates the first hop from the origin MTA. If you put a relay server in then you either need to disable SPF checking on subsequent MTAs or implement RFC8617. If you don’t then when subsequent MTAs check the original sender’s SPF it will fail because the message came from your relay.

Sorry, it didn’t seem like you were aware of them from the post above. There are plenty of reasons to stay with Windows, Linux lacking enterprise management tools just isn’t one of them.

People don’t generally care which OS they use as long as they can get their job done. We had one sub-division entirely on an immutable Linux desktop, another media unit was all-in on Apple products. As you say though, they’re outliers - simple inertia will keep people with Windows for a long time to come, their dominant position ensures it.

The cost vs complexity argument isn’t a compelling one either - there’s a reason so little of the internet runs on Windows.

If the taskbar position changes then the screen dimensions available to applications change - windows may need to be moved and resized. The applications themselves handle that. Of course, they need to be able to do this anyway so it’s not really an issue.

There’s plenty of enterprise management tools available - these tools all existed in the Linux world before their adoption to Windows.

There’s a bunch of different configuration management tools available:

• CFEngine
• Puppet
• Chef
• Salt
• Ansible

Or you could go for an MDM (Mobile Device Management) solution:

• ScaleFusion Unified Endpoint Management
• 42gears SureMDM
• ManageEngine Endpoint Central

These lists are not exhaustive.

The same tools that manage data centers full of servers can also be used to manage user devices.

Pretty sure a pedestrian-stepping-in-front-of-a-normal-tram’s day isn’t going to be any better.

Perhaps they shouldn’t be operating dangerous machinery if they’re not fully involved in what they’re doing.

I’ve been using a GameSir Cyclone 2 for about a year. Have the occasional issue where a game doesn’t detect it properly, but is great when it works.

That jukebox scene is about the only bit I still remember. The Prey from 2017 was much more my style and has an amazing opening sequence as well.

Their moderation approach is a big part of why it’s a great place to search for answers.

So one of his examples is that he bought stolen goods and when they were returned to the original owner he felt he deserved them as well? If he didn’t submit a charge back he’s complicit in supporting this fraud. The vendor should have offered to sell him a copy for the price he paid to the scammer instead.

I think port forwarding is more important for seeding when it comes to torrents. Someone has to be able to initiate the connection.

I tried Jellyfin out on my most recent build - don’t think it’s quite as good as Plex so far. Still using it though - I think either is perfectly fine for a simple home media server.
