I was always proud of the UK government having (a majority of) good online services that are easy to use. And that they were open source.
It's what governments should do. It is providing for their citizens in 2 different ways: accessible services & open source.

It's bullshit that they are drawing back from that

I'll add that it works on a system of delegation.
So there are authoritative servers (which own a part of a domain) which can then have actual records or delegate to other authoritative servers.

So the authoritative server for "com" (yes, as in .com, com is technically a valid domain name) will delegate google.com to a DNS server (likely one owned by Google). And then Google will have DNS records for mail.google.com and so on.

So looking up mail.google.com, technically you ask com DNS for the mail.google.com. It won't have an actual record, but will essentially say "go talk to this DNS server to get google.com records". So your computer asks this new DNS server for mail.google.com and it might have an answer, or it might have delegated the mail.google.com somewhere else.

What your computer most likely is using, however, is a recursive DNS service. You ask it for mail.google.com and it will "walk the tree" to finally return the IP address.
And then it will cache the results (for com google.com and mail.google.com) so the next queries are significantly faster.

I suggest permanent nationalisation

IMO, the drama was satisfactorily resolved to the benefit of the game & community.
And yeh, it's EA. If you want a complete game, wait for final release.
If you are jonesing for a subnautica fix, this has the 1st chapter of content

Client -> Reverse Proxy -> Upstream Server

It's quite rare these days for a client (eg web browser, video game, phone app... anything that needs an internet connection, really) to directly connect to the server that is actually serving the request.

It often goes through a reverse proxy which can direct the request to the "best" server (reverse proxies can have multiple upstream servers, either as a cluster that can share the load all dealing with the same service, as a bunch of different services, or both).

This has a lot of benefits for service admins (at the cost of mild complexity), and has near-zero cost for clients.

Plasma 7 is being renamed Desktop For Plasma365 2027 edition.
Everything is electron apps. Native apps are ran as web assembly inside an electron app.
There will be no UI, only a shitty AI chatbox that is always suggesting results from askjeeves (and takes 5 seconds before it suggests anything from your local machine).
Oh, and it's a monthly licence now.
And it's actually just a laggy local UI of the actual desktop that is ran in the cloud on a container with 512mb ram and 1 CPU.

Oh wait, this isn't microslop.
Good things on Linux (generally) stay the same or get better, not different so "line goes up".
I think I'm still getting over the windows PTSD

I read it as "pick up support for the FOSS projects" as opposed to user IT support.
So, contributing to the FOSS.
Even sponsorship would be awesome, in a "we can't do the tech stuff, but here is 10% of what we saved" kinda way

Probably not even mentioned by reform.
They will be anti-immigrant pro-taxcuts "make everything better (without having to explain how)" kinda deal

Sounds like there needs to be some sort of efficiency department set up

April first, innit

Or use 7zip like any sane person

Im pretty sure an incel blames women for not being able to get a relationship.
Its the change in mental framing from "maybe i should work on myself" or "i just havent had the right opportunity" to more of a "women hold too much power over me and are playing with me" or "ive done everything right, women owe me this"

Wikipedia sums it up better than i can:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incel

So, unless you find yourself blaming/resenting women, then you arent an incel. Your still just figuring things out like tge rest of us!
