Non solo a distrarre, ma anche a gettare discredito sulla magistratura in piena campagna referendaria. Strana coincidenza.

I tried to find out why and ended up reading the original Totem paper fron 1995, but when I began reading things like "multicast UDP", "cluster of 5 Sun 4", "SunOS 4.1.1" and "Ethernet" (yes, plain old Ethernet) I decided to drop the matter and accept that value as it is.

My favorite piece of obscure trivia about my line of work: the default corosync Totem token retransmission timeout is 238ms. Not 200, nor 250: exactly 238.

Sometimes I remember that our entire industry exists because John Von Neumann thought it would be more efficient to have a machine doing computations for the effin' A-bomb and I begin to question my career choices...

It isn't about protecting minors, it never was and it never will be.

It's all about surveillance.

(in realtΓ  Canonical per i desktop per cui paghi Ubuntu Pro ha "risolto" il problema... con un demone che pesca le GPO da Active Directory e le trasforma in policy dconf/Polkit/whatever πŸ˜‚)

Ah, e sperare che un upgrade di GNOME non ti spacchi pure l'anima de li mejo mortacci sua su dconf e ti costringa a rivalidare tutte le policy su tutti i desktop (been there, done that, non lo rifarei manco sotto minaccia).

I sistemi di SSO e fleet management per desktop Linux semplicemente non esistono, sia Red Hat che Canonical per SSO offrono integrazioni con... Active Directory! Per fare fleet management fondamentalmente devi sempre reinventarti la ruota ed essere pronto a manutenerla nel tempo. Auguri.

... I really didn't have on my bingo card for 2026 "someone quoting Andreotti on Bluesky", but yeah, it's appropriate.

Correlation is not causation, but seeing how many billionaires have completely lost their minds I begin to wonder whether crossing the 1 billion mark destroys your cognitive abilities

Non io, ma ho sentito storie dell'orrore al riguardo. Purtroppo da quel che leggo nei comunicati di BCE Γ¨ una pratica diffusissima in tutta SEPA e le segnalazioni sono poche perchΓ© molte persone non sanno a chi rivolgersi (in Italia ad AGCM, *non* alla Banca d'Italia!)

Credo sia condiviso con chi non accetta IBAN europei non-IT per pagamenti tramite SDD Core o peggio per accrediti (cosa tra l'altro vietata dalla normativa vigente, ma tant'Γ¨... c'Γ¨ chi ancora lo fa).

It's also what we recommend to folks whose lives literally depend on the security of their communications.

All of that being said, never forget that ANY communication protocol is only as safe as the device it ends up on, and the people who receive the message.

Direi quasi una milizia, magari di volontari, che si occupa della sicurezza nazionale.

Some apps skirt around the rule (if it's even still in place) by giving you a "free trial" period at the end of which you have to subscribe via IAP.

"Free" apps with compulsory subscriptions through IAP (sometimes with unreasonable prices when you do the math - yes, big Italian startup-turned-pseudo-VC-fund, I'm looking at you!) are the norm, sadly.

It's good that Bovino has been removed. But these senior officials- from the President to his top aides- are the ones that must face accountability. They created the conditions in which a man like Bovino ran amok. And their rhetoric defended his every action.
