Umm... "GitHub is a remote-first company with offices located throughout the US, Europe, and Asia", per https://github.com/about/caree.... I'm pretty sure they still have a physical office in Amsterdam, at least. They're also part of Microsoft, which is physically present in most EU countries.

Comment Re: Security Compromised, Domain Transfer Success (Score 2) 236

How did your company manage to get "large" without implementing a system to track their employees' shipping address? All of the places I've worked at, from fortune 50 enterprises down to the startups have had a solution for people's locations.

The email should look like "here's where we're going to ship your laptop; please confirm that it's correct," not "please give me your address." That's indicative of a complete Mickey Mouse operation.

Suggest paying for Namely. You'll probably get promoted to director of HR.

Comment Re: so how do you prevent from scanning your plate (Score 1) 239

While the joke isn't lost on me, it misses the point. Your home address is already known from several other databases. The risk here is more in identifying your travel patterns. If you're being scanned often enough in "public," logic can identify that you must be at home when you're not found somewhere else.

Comment Re: How do I actually "upgrade" my Linux. (Score 1) 126

This being a kernel issue, the kernel package is what gets updated. You use the same apt upgrade command to update linux-image as everything else. You've probably already done so several times without even noticing - aside from the need to reboot afterwards.

Here's the Ubuntu page on the defect, along with instructions if you need them.

I use "storename.or.website@catchall.domain" pretty consistently here in the US, and I've found a huge number of stores which apparently do provide their mailing lists to anyone and everyone. Equifax - the "reputable" credit reporting company - seems to be among the worst; I get a ton of spam to equifax@catchall.domain.

I should probably publish a list online somewhere from my spam logs... :)
