if you want a pronouns website without a "backend" or "logging in" you should check out pronoun.gdn

Also, to save yourself from nasty surprises, verify the hostname of the system you're on when you start a screen/tmux session. This tip doesn't work if you do it on your local machine instead of the remote.

Good morning, folks. Have a sysadmin tip:

When you ssh to a remote system, make it a habit to run either `screen` or `tmux` first. Always. Even for just a quick little command.

That way, when your crap ISP monopoly drops your connection for no reason whatsoever, your remote command won't be SIGHUP'd, & you can resume with `screen -r` or `tmux attach` when they decide your connection can be restored.

Apple rant: handheld computers edition 

Did you know Safari on iPhone won't load a page over HTTP if even 1 subdomain of that site is HTTPS?

It gets better!

1. Instead of showing a message, it loads a completely different page & shows that to the user, leaving the user baffled.

2. It hits all the proper URLs anyway, making a liar out of the user to the website operators.

I'd have blamed the user, too, if I didn't watch it live from both ends.

The moment we had to decide if a self driving car should prioritize running over one person versus another is when we should have gone back to trains

The First Law of Robotics is not even available as an optional feature by most self-driving car manufacturers. This is perfectly acceptable & even unavoidable in a country where your car has more rights than you have.
