Didn’t know about Stripchat. Sooo … thanks, EU?

What do you mean with “these people”?

All I say is that no one forces you to enter a value in an optional part oft the systemd project (not to be confused with systemd, the init process).

Have you checked your local laws? At least for Germany there is already one requiring this option.

The birthDate field is optional. As userdb as a whole.

Who are “they”?

The same with the birthDate field.

osmand~ – frontend to openstreetmap with included pathfinder.

Can you alaborate on the sysctl tweaks for low-latency audio? I have a carbon gen4 as well.

Only if it glows blue.

Nextcloud supports webdav, which you can just mount as a virtual filesystem either with GVFS or some KIO slave. AFAIR there is a fuse implementation as well.

For your single application a Windows VM may be suitable. Maybe even on some remote system in your company cloud. Single application forwarding is a long established technique.

For IrfanView itself I don’t know the capabilities, so can’t advise on it.

They should have partnered with BlueBrixx. Or COBI if they want a complete european production.

Wacken? Ist schon vorbei, du Spassti!

Well, N towers are supposed to be enough. That’s the reason you should have N+1 in the first place.

Also this assumes that you can repair/replace a tower faster than it takes on average a tower to fail.

Well, if your infrastructure is mission critical, then you need one more as spare.

In this case a new one a qarter mile to the side with a redundant power supply. Mission control could be smack in the center between the launchpads.

Of course someone®©™ has to make sure, that the whole facility is only utilized in such a way that n-1 launchpads is considered 100% usage.

Rant/advice over from someone working in a data center, where spare machines are always in use, because someone©®™ said moar power is more important then reliability.

Well, the logic in polkit is, if you have direct physical access to the machine (not SSH, actual keyboard, and so on), in general nothing stops you from just pressing and holding the power button. So giving a local user the right doesn’t make worse.

To disable the behaviour you need to find the appropriate polkit rule in /usr/{lib,share}/polkit-1/rules.d and create a file with the same name in /etc/polkit-1/rules.d pointing to /dev/null.
