@Ciaraioch@mastodon.ie Sorry. Trying to be funny and failing miserably. I meant that my pyschic abilities did not work for knowing the code. They were limited to placing order 4002, which was made before you tooted this morning. And it is grand, let it stand as is.

@Ciaraioch@mastodon.ie I must be psychic. Didn't work for the code, but there you go. Let us know about a month ahead of time when you re-run Nollaig Shona cards, if you could. Last few times they were already all gone when I got to the store.

@katemorley How does your *employee* not understand the feedback from his *boss* after the 2nd telling?

@ovoao @dangillmor Footpaths? Only if marked dual use. Or to avoid some eijit parking on the kerb, when I don't have my jack in my pocket, to clear the way.

@dangillmor Is it legitimate self defense if I carry a log splitter to clear the bike lane?

@corbet@social.kernel.org That was the one I had in mind. But I have to log in to get it - which will not happen away from my home computer (at the end of an already long day).

@corbet@social.kernel.org So I have the problem of wanting to access, and maybe share, content, without giving away my login details.

@corbet Given the question, I have to assume this is happenning. And that lwn is losing either subscribers, or ad revenue from the site/non-subscriber access. For non-renewing subscribers - try asking. You might not like the resposes you get, but there may be a grain of truth to find. For ads, not sure. Maybe there are paths through making it more difficult to access content without ads. That said, my current employer has installed something which breaks https security (dope).

@corbet did a useful review. Guess which one I continued to purchase going forward. (They ended up irritating me by pretending I had signed up for auto-renewal, when I needed a pause, but that had nothing to do with the content).

@corbet An established name (such as you already have) helps. The subscriber base is unlikely to flee to return to re-read such fluff. Keeping it relevant and not just a reproduction of e.g. press releases is important. But then lwn has never gone there that I recall. I recall (perhaps incorrectly) linux magazine (or something similar) (horror of horrors, a paper based medium) copying a SuSe press release more or less word for word for their English version, where the German version actually
