Amazon has launched a new
“one-click to quit the union” tool,
and they’re relentlessly pushing it to every worker in their Coventry warehouse.
The QR code for the tool is displayed on each table in the canteen, in every meeting and training room, in every hallway, and every toilet, as well as shown every five minutes of the working day in screens at the centre of the warehouse.
If a worker scans the QR code and clicks the link, Amazon’s software automatically generates…

I wish I knew why backup connectivity that Just Worked for months broke only one client host following an OS update and concomitant reboots on the evil backup server from hell. Also, why did it ever work, i.e. why was my ugly hack that makes it work NOW not needed 2 weeks ago?
There are a mess of vlans and netmasks involved. Many physical interfaces. And I will probably find the answer somewhere in the update notes for

#Piła Kalina: 2017 and today.
Honestly, I have mixed feelings. As I've said before, even if you knew where to look for the train stop, you could have easily gone the wrong way and ended up on the hill above the platform. Today, it's clearly visible, with easy access routes.
