[02:26:35] <nutherguy> puppy update: They're still not really "eating", but they made a mess of a couple tablespoons of puppy food today. I think they actually ate a good portion of it. That is, I can't find it all in their fur, or on the floor.
[02:26:54] <nutherguy> Not ready for weaning, but they are getting closer to it!
[02:47:21] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Apple, Google to Ban Location Tracking in Joint Contact Tracing System - https://sylnt.us - we-know-who-you've-been-talking-to
[02:54:27] <carny> is anybody still stupid enough to believe apple or google when they say they won't track you?
[02:56:14] <chromas> no it just means users can't do any tracking. google still will
[03:40:34] -!- AzumaHazuki has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[03:56:34] <Deucalion> Comes to something when you have to ask yourself "Do I want Google / Apple to maintain this proximity tracking app, or do I want my own gov't to do it with a centralised system?" - the former body can potentially monetise you, the latter can ruin you for the rest of your life. We should all trust our govts of course. :/
[03:57:59] <carny> anything that goes to google or apple automatically goes to the government

[04:02:22] <Deucalion> Ahh yes...
[04:04:03] <chromas> If da gubbermint is spying on me, I may as well let some wankers in California monetize my datums on the way over.
[04:04:11] <Deucalion> And if I leave my phone at home the ANPR cameras will track me.... if I walk, the face recog cameras will track me. Anyone seen my foil coated bubble to roll around in?
[04:06:53] <Deucalion> But that's OK.. we have privacy here :D

[16:40:47] <Bytram> weeds are things that grow for which we have yet to find a use.

[16:47:24] <janrinok> there was no problem here until a few weeks ago when others decided to ignore the rules and come and stay at their holiday homes. Thank you very much to them!

[16:51:14] <SoyGuest86719> lots more people out and about nowadays, I suspect we'll get a slight uplift in cases, but it's the tourists that I worry more about when our external borders are opened.

[18:49:03] <Bytram> this is such a silly question, but what command do I issue to get (Linux) to report what distribution and kernel is running? Ubuntu | Gentoo | CentOS | ... 18.04 LTS | 20.04 LTS | ... ???
[18:50:30] <Bytram> I know about "uname -a" but that only gets me part way there, :/
[18:51:08] <Bytram> Ideally, I'd like to do something like:
[18:51:45] <Bytram> servers = "hydrogen helium lithium boron ..."
[18:52:12] <chromas> You can also look at a file called /etc/os-release
[18:52:23] <Bytram> for server in $(servers) do rsh $server cmd... ; done
[18:53:39] <Bytram> [martyb@beryllium ~]$ cat /etc/os-release
[18:53:39] <Bytram> cat: /etc/os-release: No such file or directory
[18:53:39] <Bytram> [martyb@beryllium ~]$
[18:55:11] <Bytram> ok, on beryllium: cat /etc/centos-release
[18:55:28] <Bytram> CentOS release 6.8 (Final)
[18:56:03] <Bytram> but doesn't that imply I need to know what it is before I can find out what it is? :P
[18:56:50] <Bytram> well, getting a little better:
[18:57:10] <Bytram> cat system-release
[18:57:12] <Bytram> CentOS release 6.8 (Final)
[18:58:51] <chromas> The standard varies from implementation to implementation
