idk the exact procedure which will apply to enter the birth-date on such a system, but if other comments are correct: just enter what you want!
there will be no real possibility to tie this to anything "legal" / to "enforce" any "official" check of lets say your passport or other governmental id.
and if in my personal opinion (!) the pretty crazy guy behind the systemd-project tries to introduce/enforce such a thing ...
then i think it'll be time to either fork the project or look at systemd-free linux distributions like devuan ~ a systemd-free fork of debian :)
i'm a veteran technology professional (25+ years) with experience in a variety of software-development, system-architecture, systems-administration, service-reliability-engineering and devops-/cloud-engineering (container / kubernetes) roles.
i'm a highly motivated self-learner, an excellent problem solver and i can help you to resolve your technical obstacles.
Best we usually get is a failed US puppet state. The non-puppet faction is stronger but poorer but ends up winning in the end.
> a really long war - like in afghanistan or irak (~ 10 or up to 20 years)
Iran is twice the land size and about twice the military size. The US hasn't won wars half the size of this one. Not when 9/11 made people want blood. Not when they had a stronger casus belli. Not when they were deep in debt and economically separated from their top trade partner.
But on the other hand, the USA also doesn't declare wars; they're military action by a president. Since American presidents swap out every 4-8 years, nobody really owns the war. A future president decides that nothing of value was accomplished and ends the war to everyone's relief.
yes ... i thought this is included in the expression "as a service" :)
it doesn't matter how you slice & dice it, the "service" is to have someone - be it business or be it a person - who is responsible for running this service ... you get an SLA and according to the conditions you are able to work with the entity which provides the service ...
If the person you pay is an employee you do not get the external guarantee, nor would you if you pay someone to maintain a server that is yours.
The big email providers do not really provide a worthwhile SLA to most customers AFAIK. Do they cover the cost of business interruption if your business is heavily dependent on email, for example?
this was one of the best scifi shows back in the mid 1990ties.
it introduced a lot things which we take for granted today ... together with startrek "deep space nine" which roughly aired during the same time:
* telling a "story arch" over multiple seasons
* 2 parallel story-lines within episodes
* causally show people doing "every-day" life things, like going to the toilet - you may laugh, but 30+ years ago, for example in various startrek spinoffs - tng, ds9, voyager - nobody went to the toilet ... ever!!
don't get me wrong, i'm a big fan of startrek too ;))
* despite their budget decent CGI for the time
if i remember it correctly: they used a software called "lightroom", which ran on the amiga hardware-platform at first, for later seasons they moved to PC hardware...
just if you wonder about the quality of the CGI ... this was some 680x0 computer running at something like 16 or 32 MHz (!) with a few MB (!) of memory.
not a scifi "blockbuster" utilizing multimillion us$ SGI clusters like ILM productions of the era did!
It's incredible that it still lives to this day. I remember running it on Pentium-133. The gallery they have there still has showcase renders from 2000s.
I just had to add more, because I remember they used DEC Alpha systems at some point.
" Alphas for design stations serving 5 animators and one animation assistant (housekeeping and slate specialist). Most of these stations run Lightwave and a couple add Softimage. VERY plug-in hungry. PVR's on every station, with calibrated component NTSC (darn it, I hates ntsc) right beside.
P6's in quad enclosures for part of the renderstack, and Alphas for the rest, backed up 2x per day to an optical jukebox.
Completed shots output to a DDR post rendering and get integrated into the show.
Shots to composite go to the Macs running After Effects, or the SGI running Flint, depending on the type of comp being done, and then to the DDR (8 minutes capacity on the SGI)."[0]
idk ... i just put a http basic-auth in front of my gitweb instance years ago.
if i really ever want to put git-repositories into the open web again i either push them to some portal - github, gitlab, ... - or start thinking about how to solve this ;))
its for sure better to kill your own infrastructure because of some AI crawlers - buhuuuu ... bad bots!! - than to solve your problem with a stupid simple but effective solution.
just as an idea: if i had to host public repositories i would think about how to disable costly operations - searches etc. - for anonymous access ... like github did.
as always: imho. (!)
