Is there an easy method to know the self assigned IP address of the other machine if it's run as headless?

The only methods I can think of is using something like Wireguard to see what IP addresses are talking, or ping all 32k IP addresses to see which responds.

I think this method should be the top answer.

I connect directly to devices without a router most working days for work and this is the method we use because it's simple and effective.

Why do you believe they wouldn't legally be able to?

I've also been the one on the opposite side of the classroom. I was lab based, so we didn't use Turn it in.

With a reasonably sized class, you can easily spot which students have worked together because their reports tend to be shockingly similar.

I agree that you get a feel for them with informal conversations and you can see how their submissions tie up with your informal conversations.

I used to tweak the questions year on year. I've suspected there is a black market, an assignment exchange, or something because I caught students submitting work from previous years. They were mainly international students that were only there for their masters year.

Why do you believe podman is more secure than root-less Docker? Please educate me.

I run root-ful and root-less Docker daemons at the same time on the same machine because there are limitations to what you can do without as root privileges. So where possible, containers run in root-less Docker and the lucky few that require root privileges run in root-ful Docker.

I know it's technically correct but it still hurts a little inside to admit it each time.

I know the reason is because giga is an SI prefix but all the way through my education, 1 GB was taught to be 1024 MB, so I always want to use this instead of what is correct.

To be fair, the tech industry has been naughty with things like this. I know of two. I wonder how many others there are?

I believe that:

  • The style of characters a user can choose is called a typeface. I think every piece of software calls it a font. I remember hearing it came from Apple/Steve Jobs.

  • I believe the use of setup is incorrect. Setup is a noun, so it refers to an existing configuration. It tends to be used when running an OS or program for the first time though, which I believe set up is the correct term. Set up is an adjective and refers to the act of creating the configuration.

I've wondered if these were done due to screen space constraints or aesthetics.

Interestingly last week a UK network provider had a day - 2 day outage across the entire UK by the sounds of it.

I didn't take any notice of which instances they were from. The people I'm thinking of didn't talk about politics - they were shouty about other things.

Lemmy should have shined when the API kicked in, but we had a number of users being shouty ass hats that probably helped to drive users away. Fortunately they seem to have quieten down since for one reason or another, but Lemmy adoption doesn't seem to have increased again yet - maybe one day.

I wonder when the invites will be sent out. I'm curious how much a share will cost and I'm curious about who these 75k loyal users could be. Will it be the same group that got the free NFTs, as they were only given to the top contributors weren't they?

What's considered as a release in the nginx world?

Any minor update or just the major updates?

Eg. 1.25.4 was recently released. 4 months prior was 1.25.3. 2 months prior to that it was 1.25.2. etc
