Using GPS to drive the spedo/odo on a car seems like it wouldn't be super reliable?

init crashed because it couldn't load a shared library, but init isn't allowed to be killed so the kernel panicked

It's extremely 2020s brainworms that there are two different proprietary standards for device trackers, and licensing constraints forbid a device from supporting both.

Nah, that's still engagement. Ignore it, and let it rot away

I'm cautiously excited, but probably won't be preordering anything if Eric is involved

An alternative suggestion - do what they did with UTC. It's an acronym of both "coordinated universal time" and "temps universel coordonné", which doesn't work in either English or French so everyone is equally unhappy

Take a look for yourself:

Bring your existing gear, remembering that we use 240v here. Getting used server bits is pretty difficult and expensive because we don't have anywhere near the density of data centers selling off old stuff. Enterprise switches in particular seem to be hard to get, I've previously had to buy on eBay and pay absurd shipping

• https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter?tab=readme-ov-file#textfile-collector - which makes node exporter watch a specific directory for files that contain metrics, then re-export them back to the central Prometheus server
• Some systems have their own metrics endpoints - instead of getting Prometheus to scrape these directly I set up a Cron job to curl these into files for node exporter - this means I don't need extra config in Prometheus to find the endpoints, and don't need to mess with firewall rules
• Other systems don't directly expose metrics in a format Prometheus can use - in this case I will write/find a script that can do the conversation, then either set it up to write the metrics file directly and run it on a Cron, or run it as a service and another Cron job to do the scrape

• Base ansible role installs Prometheus node exporter, configured with the text file collector
• VM automations push DNS records so that the Prometheus dns-sd automatically discovers them
• Ansible roles for add Cron jobs that generate metrics for specific systems and dump them for the text file collector
• Grafana for dashboards
• Karma as a UI in front of Prometheus alert manager

The attitude in a lot of countries had been "China contributes xx% to global emissions, we only contribute y% so why should we trash our economy if China isn't doing absolutely everything possible?" - add the US into that and that resistance is even harder to overcome

they'll actively push you to take leave

This is the part that I think is kinda genius (although I doubt it was totally intentional) - by making leave accrue and requiring businesses to pay out the value when employees leave, you put a clear dollar value on doing the right thing. You align the employer and the employees interests, so even if a company can't ensure people take leave because it's the right thing to do, they can usually manage it because it's good business

Oh totally, if you are playing by the rules then this can't happen.

What happens if the GOP appoints him as their candidate in 4 years time? Presumably someone asks the supreme court to weigh in, but given it's current make up, what happens if they say "yeah sure, because democrats are The Enemy" or something?

It's just people, breaking the rules is always an option. Rules and laws only work if they are enforceable - and at the end of the day, who would be enforcing that he can't run? The military? State militias?
