    A dumb and sort of wrong version would be:

    Politically Left: “Society combine for everyone”, Politically Right: “Freedom for everyone at all cost”

    CORRECTION

    Unfortunately, left and right are rather coarse terms within the political spectrum. Consider looking for some easy explanations to understand the finer details.

    Fun Fact: The emergence of the “left” / “right” distinction in the political sense is attributed to the original seating arrangement at the Constituante, the constituent national assembly of 1789 in France.

    EDIT: I hate talking about political stuff. Never a correct answer and every word is scrutinized. I hate it.

    I got that T-Shirt reference

    Also my favorite tidbit from the comments there:

    spoiler

    Toei Animation had to warn the Mexican government not to air the last episode of Dragon Ball Super in plazas across Mexico’s cities (which was promptly ignored) and was a huge event across the country at the time. Bars had watch parties and there was a flyer that got popular which read “free dances for everyone if Goku wins this epic battle.”

    Dragon Ball is a second religion.

    Was about to ask which extension can spoof Browser Strings for specific sites.

    Good ol’ uBlock counters yet again. We gotta protect that extension and all the filter list maintainers.

    Just get into the routine of going to ublock origin addon each morning, clear the caches and loading all filters. Close all youtube tabs and reopen them. Those daredevils are playing anti-anti-adblock with youtube via blocklists daily now.

    Ah, if it doesn’t work, disable all addons, restart browser, update filters, try. If it works, enable addons one-by-one until the method suddenly fails.

    Also pi-hole and similar adblocking solutions can cause this now, so you might need to remove those, add exceptions or stuff. It’s tedious, but doable.

    Might be time to migrate to indiviuous as my new youtube frontpage (uses youtube as video source, nothing lost) or setup my own instance of it. My TV runs smarttubenext for years now, anyway, which is way better than the original yt app.




  • People are asshats. That’s why

    It’s all about cost reduction and fraud prevention. Those cheap stickers are simply tamper-proof, getting easily destroyed upon removal. Prevents being resticked onto other items. A simple example would be thiefes who remove discount labels or price tags from cheap items and put those onto expensive items, ready to argue that the item must’ve been mislabled by the store and then insist on the low price. Doesn’t work with a tampered sticker.

    Also, there actually are easy-to-remove labels being used - just not for pricing out stuff.






  • Nah, prices have gone up considerably. Generally around 250~350€ per year per Server depending on your deal for Redhat. SUSE is about the same, both are currently recalculating, most likely upping the price. HPC-nodes cost less (somewhere around 30-80€/year). But they make it all way too complicated by binding license costs to CPU count for example and now after abandoning that to other nonsense. Lead to a brief popularity of dual-core servers a few years ago, since Oracle licenses were all CPU-core count based. Don’t know how that is currently going.

    Also it depends on other stuff like support levels and whatnot. We once had to get an expert on licensing costs to get an offer for licensing a few servers and even these people could not respond immediately and had to go through several documents to calculate the price - note those weren’t resellers, those were from the Company themselves. I had to stiffle a few laughes during that conference…

    Been there, it’s not fun. Transitioned the new HPC cluster from redhat to suse. Switched to Centos after a few years on suse due to pricing and their software becoming more and more unstable. The following cluster got CentOS from the start and then got migrated to rocky after they switched Centos to rolling release. It’s not easy running this stuff…


  • I agree. Still fun nonetheless, seeing some of the biggest players banding together against a competitor.

    It’s still an issue though for mainly science areas with large HPC clusters who need stable supported OS releases for extremely expensive specialty software. Looking at the pricing, Redhat now wants to take quite a large chunk in licensing fees out of science budgets.
