I don't disagree, but there are other types of containers. Proxmox LXC Debian-based containers usually have ssh enabled by default, which is actually convenient.

Remember when the Chinese destroyed that satellite in space a few years ago (2007 - geez, it's been a while) to "demonstrate their capabilities"? We NEED systems in space to defend/retaliate against that kind of stuff.
This isn't Reagan's "Star Wars" that was ridiculed. It's the new realpolitik.

That maybe a shell-ism. In bash if you ' >file ' with nothing else, you end up blanking the file (and updating the date/time on it) without ^C even being involved.

While a 4-day working week was suggested as one of the benefits of AI, it hasn't yet come to pass — not even in the AI companies themselves.

Submission + - Freenet: Apps Without Platforms
Sanity writes: Earlier this year Slashdot covered the launch of the completely redesigned Freenet. I recently gave a talk about what we've been building since then. Unlike traditional web applications, apps on Freenet have no central server or database, with application state instead distributed across the network. These now include decentralized group chat, publishing, search, and fully decentralized Git hosting. The talk also gets into some of Freenet's internals, including how we use machine learning for network routing.
