This sort of thing is why I went with an established, for-pay email provider (fastmail). I mean, they might still sell out if someone made them an attractive enough offer, but they're not looking for offers the way a recent startup would be, and it's obvious where they get the cashflow to sustain the business from.

Tried to register with gitlab three times some months back to file a bug against qemu. It rejected my registration silently every time (as in, it appeared to take it but never sent a confirmation email, not even one that got mistaken for spam). I gave up on filing the bug.

Some of the initial carjackings may be opportunistic, but the people shipping the stolen cars out of the country are definitely organized.

Or sed the existing config file at the end of your script.

Save you from reading the author’s life story.

I can probably do that and still have time to spend in the washroom before the video is over. Some of us read fast.

If no investigator his completed all the required courses, then either the requirements are unreasonable, or the agency is so incompetently administered that it should implode into a black hole. I knew it was probably bad, but I wasn't expecting this.

ICU is a Unicode support library. As such, it tends to be looped into any program or library that needs to do things like figure out the length of a piece of text in character glyphs. Which is a lot of programs and libraries, including some monsters like boost and qt that are picky about their dep versioning.

We do have to adhere to Betteridge's law of headlines, after all.

It’s actually more likely that it wasn’t printed for the US market

The English-French bilingual packaging suggests this particular box was sold in Canada (although the brand isn't familiar to me). I'm sure we have some similar law, though.

And the issue that does exist doesn't even require Linux to be installed, technically. Unless you're an IT pro administering large numbers of systems that boot from a network disk image, there is nothing for you to worry about here.

Next-easiest target after LGBTQ+ people would be non-white immigrants, or has she gone after them already? I find it difficult to remember which individual right-wingers have publicly admitted to embracing all the bigoted drivel their political siblings push, and which are trying to stay in the closet.

In the end, they're all of a piece.

Gentoo does have systemd, actually—package sys-apps/systemd—and there are optional sections in the install documents that explain how to go about using it as your primary init. It's an officially supported configuration, just not the default.

(But yeah, as for the main problem, sounds like hardware—RAM, your primary hard disk, or the disk controller on the mobo. Start with The Bleeding Obvious and make sure all cables are solid in their sockets and all the RAM is properly inserted.)
