Mostly a backup account for now, other @Deebsters are available.

What work is actually involved in the Software Bill of Materials stuff? When I search for “Freebsd SBOM” I mostly get references to this news story.

There seems to be tools that generate SBoM reports automatically, is it just a case of adding plugins into the build pipeline?

The North Yorkshire power plant, which burns wood pellets imported from North America

So the trees are grown in America, processed in America and then transported across the Atlantic before getting to Yorkshire? That must use up all the carbon budget before it’s even burnt, surely?

Good, I guess.

It’s understood the same as a middle finger would be, except more Britishly.

Growing up, the story was that it came from when longbows were peak weaponry and the French were chopping the fingers off of captured English archers - the V sign was saying something like “fuck you, I can still shoot you”. There’s insult/defiance/threat in there but it’s not like throwing down the gauntlet (to be clear, we don’t do that gesture any more).

This makes sense.

Using rainfall as a(n inverse) proxy for protests is very clever. Interesting to see how the MLK violent protests actually were counterproductive and increased the republican vote share.

It seems to have failed to notice the whole transcript and just repeated the intro/summary.

Ah, so it’s not even possible with a different front-end (unless it stores extra data).

Yes, you can go to your profile and click on “Saved” to see your starred posts/comments.

One annoying thing is that it’s sorted by the original posting date, not the time you saved it, which might mean your most recently saved item isn’t even on the first page of results.

You’re downvoting and calling me wrong based on 30 seconds of research, so I’d say you are the instigator.

your initial points were incorrect

The backups in Google Drive are not accessible to you. The source you found doesn’t contradict me, because it doesn’t mention being able to access that backup, only delete or disable them.

You can only transfer your account, which doesn’t test the backup. Getting to the stage where you’ll be able to test the backup leaves you not logged in. The backup process needs a SIM.
