In the coop model, though, participants broker their own attention, instead of monetizing it?

Names are tricky that way. The best way to know someone is to have a conversation with them."

@Linux

The point at which I begin to question anyone's rights of free association (which includes the right to pick whom *not* to associate with) is *very* close to the point at which that someone has sufficient heft to need being regulated (eg, de facto public utility w/ monopoly or monopsony power)

@lostnbronx An arm's length is right. I thought by moving thousands of miles away, it would be 1000s of miles length, but the US is so darned loud, like that spoiled brat at the movie theater who nobody can get to behave, that it's pretty much only an arm's length, apparently, no matter where in the world one goes.

Oof... Indiana University is going to start requiring two factor authentication for sshing onto the compute clusters.

Don't get me wrong, 2fa is good. I just do not like duo (which is the client they chose). It's frequently caused errors when my cell signal or WiFi signal is low where it says the request has timed out in the app but the ldap server is still waiting for a response to its push.

I get in situations often where I have enough service to check my email but not enough to Auth email

More Asterisk success today. Tested out sending an XMPP message with Caller ID information on incoming call. Works like a champ!

Open source's nature is to fade into the background and go unnoticed except by those whose work touches it directly. It is the plankton of computing. We all breathe, but few of us stop to think about where the oxygen is coming from.

Software only becomes 'enterprise grade' if, when its behavior is described to an outsider flatly and precisely, the outsider assumes the description is some kind of elaborate joke.
