I have seen this on a site before and I never understood why. Whats the point of limiting the length of the password? Its not to save storage space since the plain text isnt stored and the hash should be a uniform length. So whats the advantage?

Perl scripters call ourselves "Superior"

So you're just going to call me out like that, huh?

Thanks for the list, that is very helpful. The main feature I'm looking for is heart rate monitoring. Both during a workout and also being able to see a graph of my heart rate after so I can track it over time. A sleep tracker would be nice too but a lot of wearables are not comfortable to wear during sleep for me so I probably wouldn't use it anyways.

So 8 out of 12 teams make the playoffs. Makes sense, but I would prefer to see only 50% of teams make the playoffs to make it more of an accomplishment. I liked the old format of three teams from each conference making the playoffs with the best team in each conference getting a bye. The current format does add two more playoffs games which is a good thing.

 

I'm looking for advice on a privacy friendly fitness tracker. One that doesn't require storing my personal data on a third party site, where I can sync the data locally using an open source program. I do have a PineTime but it doesn't really track metrics and I question the accuracy of the heat rate monitor. FitBit is owned by google, and I don't want an Apple Watch. Any recommendations?

Ooof, this one raises eyebrows for sure. I know team volatility is expected with league that is still trying to get its feet under it, but with this and the Arrows folding before the season it makes me nervous for the league itself.

 

I've been a software engineer for 10 years now but want to work with Linux more in a professional setting (not to mention the number of layoffs in the the dev industry has me thinking a backup plan might be a good idea). I have been using Linux exclusively on my personal machine for about 15 years now so I'm not too worried about passing the LFCS but I'm wondering of its worth it. What kind of job opportunities would it open for me? Should I focus more on dev ops? Security? Straight SysAdmin?

Is this a change, I'm sure I was able to stream it from my Linux PC before?

I'm excited to see what Scott Lawrence can do with the team, Its going to be damn hard to out coach the financial issues USA Rugby has, but he knows the landscape of the sport in the US so I think he can pull it off. Plus I was a bit RATL fan so I'll always be a fan of his.

I had a very similar thing happen to me. The oddity was that I had just signed an offer letter with another company the week before and I gave my two weeks notice to my boss, but that message hadn't traveled up the pipe yet. So my one-on-one with a director was basically

Director: "Half you team was let go, but your job is safe!" Me: "Cool. You know I'm leaving next week, right?" Director: awkward blank stares

I really wish I had been laid off. Saved someone else their job and I would have gladly taken that severance pay on the way out the door.

So, you should ask yourself, with every decision you make "is this good for the company?"

This was just a "team restructuring" but I was scanning the invite list to see if there was a name missing.

I'm looking at picking up a used chromebook for my kid to use after installing a Linux OS on it. So I have two questions that are very related:

Which would be a better one to get: Lenovo S330 or Acer CB3-431. Is one going to be easier to get the OS to run on?

The other question is which distro is going to work the easiest? I have been running Linux exclusively for over a decade on my person computer (Fedora currently) and my phone (PinePhonePro with Debian (well, Mobian anyways)) so I'm very comfortable with Linux in general, but haven't played with this kind of hardware before so I'm not sure what the limitations will be.
