  • Command line stuff on Windows (server) is in a pretty decent state now, imo. It’s not perfect but more and more is manageable with powershell. It took some time to really grok that you’re basically always working with objects but I’m a big fan and now quite dislike having to deal with just “text” output when I do something in Linux. (Probably also because I need to do a lot less in it so I’m not used to it as much)

    Personally again I also like the naming scheme much more than how it’s done in bash. If I need to do something I don’t know I can search the command by using logical words. E.g. I want to change the properties of a service but don’t know the command by heart I can use

    Get-Command service

    And I’ll get a list of all commands that contain the word service.

    When it comes to admin privileges you simply have the privileges of the account you used to start the session, which has its’ own dangers I suppose since it requires you to maintain account hygiene yourself.

    The physical market was long gone before Spotify happened, don’t make your legitimate complaints look silly by blaming Spotify for it. The music industry simply had no good answer to deal with digital media.

    Spotify did seem to force their hand and some artists improved and adapted. And it’s never had a true monopoly with many different services coexesting and competing with it.



  • I am a blonde blue eyed man who loves martial arts. Many, many people I train with are pretty open in their racism around me as long as there’s only white people around. In larger groups they make no secret of their conspiracy beliefs. And they’re constantly going to defense camps, survival camps, masculinity camps.

    They follow and idolize both the US fascists like Trump, Desantis, JP. And their local versions who organise these kinds of camps (look up Dries Van langenhove).

    It’s not the blood and honour kind of Nazism, so perhaps not accurate for this article, but they genuinely believe he was right.


  • Most reactions here are focusing too hard on the title. These clubs aren’t like, nor inspired by ‘Fight Club’. These groups pose as groups for men wanting to connect with other men so they can learn about physical and mental health, philosophy and self defense. The sports they train are absolutely effective and the hope they get brain damage from this is naive. They practice the same principle that most sane martial arts gyms use since many of them are involved in those as well.

    Some will even have chapters for women so they can learn about their sacred and divine femininity and reject the modern capitalist pressures society puts on them of being both a career woman and homemaker and wife.

    And very few of them are actually obvious about their neo Nazi roots. They usually just stick to neo paganism with some cherry picked Christianity tossed in for good measure.



  • If you only have to use it 15 minutes every week it’s probably not worth getting to know.

    I work in a Windows shop, so I love everything being an object, most of the time. At least for the things that are worked out completely.

    It’s great for things you need to iterate or just for figuring out what you can do by piping a result to get-member. If you are interested in getting better at powershell at some point, I highly recommend Powershell in a month of lunches. (Also because I like Manning’s model where they automatically offer the digital versions of books they sell, and also offering free previews of the entire book, given enough time)


  • You need to take care of you, try to make sure it’s official merch if you care about the band though.

    Personally I also don’t mind supporting the venue if we’re talking about independent locations and not stadiums. I want them to have enough staff for drinks, security and hygiene so that they can stay in business. Metal is a niche to begin with so supporting your local venues is part of supporting the scene, for me. I recognise it’s easy to say for me since I can do so without any financial pain, but I really feel it’s important to keep that perspective in mind as well.



  • Not caring what you do on your pc, within reason, is not the same as not monitoring for dangerous actions that could endanger your network or company (and client data). I don’t care what my colleagues do on their pc either. As long as it doesn’t cause me more work.

    Logging security incidents is work. So we do block a lot of websites and keep an eye on what you try to run. If we see something wrong we just talk to you and explain why we don’t want you to do that. 99,9% of the time everybody is happy after that.

    The idea of this being something you can get fired for or that’s taken into consideration for your evaluation is insane though. We have rights as workers. Keeping the network safe means I can see some extent of what you do. Your boss or their boss has no right to that information unless you state you will continue endangering the network. Even in that case I wouldn’t even tell them the websites tbh.
