Interesting explanation about what really went wrong with Optus last week.

The short version: it looks like Optus doesn't control its own core network. Its parent company Singapore Telecom does. Optus just resells it.

Which is why Optis' CEO was so vague about what the issue actually was: she was protecting her bosses in Singapore.

What do you call the plastic or metallic bowl used to take a bath without a shower? @asklemmy

It is a hand held device used to get water from the bucket or a bigger tank to poor it on oneself

scytale ,

Yep, it’s widely known in English as a dipper. It’s called different ways in Asia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabo_(hygiene)

Lavór. Or mosóteknő, tho this latter is for washing clothes, but I guess you can use it for cleaning yourself as well.

If it’s going in something (e.g. dahl) I use the frozen stuff. If it’s to munch on raw or as leaves then I abandoned fresh spinach ages ago - Kale is much more robust and (IMO) tastes better.

It says something about the current relationship of large corporate apps and users when Slack makes an update - of particular annoyance is that the search bar at the top basically eats the entire border now making it impossible to move the window around unless you make the window sufficiently large - and my immediate thought is “this must have been deliberate in order to make sure Slack takes up as much of my screen as possible.”

It’s hard for me to think of a legitimate reason for how massive that search bar is and why it is so damn close to all the edges at the top making the window virtually immovable unless you greatly expand it.

It’s just malicious design as usual.

Little tip, since it’s an Electron app, you can reload the view with ctrl-R (cmd-R) on Mac. Saves you a trip to re-open, usually.

Use Microsoft Teams for a while and you’ll appreciate how good you had it with Slack!

Looks less likely I'll get an Autism assessment having just had a letter saying they're now running a triage service and I have to contact then if I want to be put on the list to be seen by them, and if they decide I need an assessment then I'll be put on the currently 20 month long waiting list for an assessment...

Very proud of myself for making myself send the "I would still like to go ahead with the assessment" email.

Yeah, the way it works with groups is not great. There are news feeds on Mastodon which are probably a better option to follow from there.

Stands to perfect reason. Lemmings are essentially large rodents, mastadons are essentially large elephants, elephants don’t get along with mice, mastadons don’t get along with lemmings. Science!

I have a docker container running in portainer. I have added an SMB volume to the container. Does anyone know how I can update this docker container using docker-compose without undoing my changes? Thanks

LordChaos82 OP ,
@LordChaos82@fosstodon.org avatar

@Dirk thanks. That's how I did it but I am not sure if updating using docker compose would overwrite it. Portainer is running on a VM so I will make sure to snapshot it and try so I can restore it if needed.

You’re using Portainer, why manually mess with docker compose?

That one was incredible. I still feel drawn to question, despite the episode’s resolution, whether being in the fields is preferable. Wonderful take on the ignorance is bliss theme

Jacko ,

Such a well done mashup, really clever and incredible talent on display. I’m a huge Broadway fan and a massive trekkie so this was just a love letter to me and I’m beyond grateful. SNW is always a welcome surprise, every week.
