I did comment on the _kernel_. I did not comment on Weyland (which IMO is a really bad idea and I will avoid it as long as possible). I certainly did not comment on the fuckups behind systemd, that clearly show there are prominent people that do not get KISS or IT security in the Linux space as well.

As to MS, yes they do not care or are fundamentally incompetent regarding security. They push defective patches. They have ridiculous vulnerabilities. They had their cloud hacked several times now, always due to abjectly stupid mistakes. There is a reason that they claimed "security is our highest priority" several times now, always after they screwed up massively. MS cares about security exactly as far as they think they need to in order to stay in business and not one bit more.

I mean, some people probably use it for that, but Plex with a tuner card and everything you get with their subscription is the best streaming option out there.

There hasn't been anything on OTA TV that I've cared to watch ever since all the major networks moved anything halfway decent behind the paywalls of their respective branded streaming services.

The LD50 is 250x the therapeutic dose.

There's dead and then there's wish you were dead. Also, the additives in the animal stuff vs what you would get from a Dr.'s Rx could be vastly different and not necessarily well tolerated by humans. Delivery mechanism, drug release timings, active ingredient concentrations, isomers: none of it titrated for human consumption if you get your drugs through a veterinary supply warehouse.

IIS has good integration with active directory, and a lot of government networks run on AD. When I did government work our Java/Tomcat app had to deploy behind IIS so that IIS could do all the CAC/PIV crypto/AD windows stuff and hand us a user identity. Then I had the pleasure of doing NTLM/kerberos binding against an AD forest from java for authz - good times.

Comment Re:Plex's business model (Score 1) 49

The main point of plex for me has been that it has client apps on most major platforms like Android, Roku, Apple TV, iPhone etc. So I get a nice media browsing experience that is not the hell that is DLNA that the wife and kids are willing to use without having to root my devices. I understand the situation /w Jellyfin in terms of client support is better now, but it was not there when I started using plex to build my media library.

HCM is what has been used for decades ("SAP HCM" was "SAP HR" back in the 80s, but has been "HCM" since the early 2000s).

I'm not sure what your point is. Are you suggesting the term was any less demeaning in the early 2000s? That if companies keep viewing their workers as expendable cogs for long enough, it stops being sociopathic and becomes acceptable?
