As we kneel before the altar of the "ha ha, you can't control what your documents look like in HTML" philosophy, you, dear sinner (nay, blasphemer), can but take solace in the fact that Mosaic is putting a blank line at the start of all toplevel lists, including yours, entirely on purpo...

Failures happen, we don't need to talk about that, so it is all about how quick you recover.

How quick you recover with cloned identities in a decentralised network? ;-)

The unofficial in-place upgrade from CentOS5 to 6 felt much easier than the beta-official in-place upgrade from CentOS6 to 7. :-!
At least all sites look to be up again. SELinux still complains a bit, but it should be under control. This upgrade was quite a PITA and still some tasks to do. Really need to get the containers ready.

Why you should use document.readyState

Onload in Onload | High Performance Web Sites

Packer: Packer




Packer is a free and open source tool for creating golden images for multiple platforms from a single source configuration.
Quite powerful tool to create automated virtual images for #Vagrant, #Docker and other platforms.
Using btrfs for such images seems not to be a good idea. The same configuration just different filesystems: xfs 400MB, btrfs 600MB image size. o_O
