[09:05] schestowitzWhat you can do is restrict those users with a chroot jail. By doing this you severely limit what those users can do on your system. In fact, any user who is limited to a chroot jail can:
[09:05] schestowitz1. Only access the server via sftp
[09:05] schestowitz2. Only access a specific directory
[09:09] schestowitzWe also received approval recently for the design and eventual build-out of a 7,000 seat performance theater style arena in Toronto for todays generation of fans that we expect to complete by 2025. The venue will serve as a new home for the biggest music and entertainment acts of the world, in addition to attracting a full slate of Esports events increasing over time. Weve raised over $100m (CAD) to date from a [09:09] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-boilingsteam.com | The 20 Games Linux Gamers Want To See Ported - Boiling Steam [09:09] schestowitz variety of investors, including some notable names like The Weeknd, the Montreal Canadiens, bce inc., and a variety of professional athletes in the NHL and other leagues. Our principle investors are the Kimel family and Sheldon Pollack who is our chairman of the board. We are publicly listed in Toronto under the ticker symbol OAM on the TSX Venture Exchange and are also listed in the US on the OTCQB.

[09:18] schestowitzThe Linux ecosystem in many ways found much of its momentum via hardware, rather than software. So it makes sense that there have been some fascinating efforts to reinvent the Linux ecosystem around hardware. The Raspberry Pi has of course built lasting excitement around computer hardware in contexts that fit neatly into the internet of things. But as desktop Linux distros have at times felt like wheel-spinning exercises ( [09:18] schestowitz just ask Linus Tech Tips, and shout-out to Jason Evangelho), it feels like Linux hardware targeted at consumers is likely to push it over the edge at some point. Ive already covered two of those efforts in the relatively recent pastthe PineBook Pro and the PinePhone, both made by Pine64but the JingPad represents something different: an attempt to make a piece of hardware that supports Linux from the ground up that a non-Linux user [09:18] schestowitz might actually want to use. Todays Tedium takes an up-close look at the JingPad A1, an experimental new tablet worth looking into. Ernie @ Tedium

I dont have desktop or mobile notifications for IRC. I only use it when Im sitting down at my computer, and I pull notifications from it instead of having it push them to me that is, I glance at the client every now and then. If Im in the middle of something, I dont read it. [09:19] schestowitz
With these considerations in mind, IRC has been an extraordinarily useful tool for me, and maybe it can be for you, too. Im not troubled by interruptions to my workflow. I never have to catch up on a bunch of old messages. I can communicate efficiently and effectively with my team, increasing our productivity considerably, without worrying about an added source of stress. I hope that helps!

The exact amount will be determined on this equation, which is designed to offer higher payouts for modules with more downloads and fewer lines of code. A condition of this is that you must delete it without notice, so that everyone who depends on it wakes up to a broken build.
[09:21] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell- ( status 404 @ https://drewdevault.com/2021/11/16/Python-stop-screwing-distros-over.html">Python ) [09:21] schestowitzDistros are feeling especially frustrated right now, but I dont think were alone. Everyone is frustrated with Python packaging. I call on the PSF to sit down for some serious, sober engineering work to fix this problem. Draw up a list of the use-cases you need to support, pick the most promising initiative, and put in the hours to make it work properly, today and tomorrow. Design something you can stick with and [09:21] schestowitz make stable for the next 30 years. If you have to break some hearts, fine. Not all of these solutions can win. Right now, upstream neglect is destroying the Python ecosystem. The situation is grave, and we need strong upstream leadership right now.
[09:23] schestowitzMaterial excess is a political issue. I see modern technology as a symbol and vehicle of affluent-poverty and class division. A few authors have courageously faced this difficult subject, among them Owen Jones in Chavs Jones11 and David Graeber in Bullshit Jobs Graeber18.
[09:23] schestowitzIn short, to render the modern productive class (caring and civic professions) harmless, their power under old-left nomenclature as "working-class" had to be destroyed. Their reinvention as "consumers" necessitated apparatus to warehouse and monitor them. Modern bread and circuses manifests as "techno bling" - cheap, attractive and addictive but ultimately detrimental technology like smartphones and social media. Though it [09:23] schestowitz pains me to utter words like "chav" (The UK version of "trailer-trash" or "bogans"), nothing says first-world poverty quite like two gold iPhones, one in each jeans pocket.
[09:29] schestowitzHuman psychology is a fascinating domain. Take me, for example. I don't like stupid things. And I don't like being told what to do. When you combine the two, I really get angry when I'm being told to do stupid things. Case in point, browser nudges, popups, reminders, or pointless features. Case in point, a bunch of stuff happening recently with Microsoft Edge.
[09:29] schestowitzTo give you a bit more context, by and large, this browser is not allowed to run on my Windows productivity hosts. The in-yer-face marketing approach (use, use, use, do it, do it, do it) employed by Microsoft persuaded me to implement a policy whereby Edge can't even start. Push, shove, action, reaction. However, that said, I am using Edge as my secondary browser on my Linux machines, and there, it works pretty well. I [09:29] schestowitz also kept it on the rather pointless Windows 11 test box. But now, I feel some extra purging is required. Why? Well, anguish not, I shall tell you all about this very shortly.
[09:55] schestowitzThe modern computer store, as Ive argued in the past, is a bit of a mess. Its all about the hard sell (in a gigantic box) at the cost of any personality whatsoever. (Micro Center notwithstanding; that place is great.) It was so bad that Apple (and later, Microsoft, though not permanently) had to create its own self-branded stores to ensure their products were seen in the proper light. This is kind of painful, of [09:55] schestowitz course, because personal computers were really the domain of the hobbyist at first. But all too quickly, and perhaps not best for the consumer, that all changed. Tonights Tedium ponders the birth of computer retail and why the mom-and-pop byte peddler lost out. Ernie @ Tedium
[09:55] schestowitzAnd, the European Commission seems to be respecting the idea, which is a good sign that should encourage other official organizations funded by public money to step up with the same initiative.
[09:55] schestowitzNot just limited to that, the EU also realizes that investing in open-source gives higher returns, based on their recent study.
[10:31] schestowitzTurns out that I have one of them, ARMA3, and I could test that it indeed works, by filtering for BattlEye only servers and trying to join such servers from Linux with Proton (note that you need to disable most of your mods if you intend on joining online competition). It seems like Steam downloads a specific BattlEye package before running ARMA3 after this update, so you dont really have to do anything on your end.
