						<description>&lt;p&gt;The TLDR, new stadium opening in 2030, long term fans unhappy with skyrocketing ticket prices and seat licenses to secure their tickets in the new stadium. At the end they make an interesting point that the premium experiences that teams are so interested in creating are much more lucrative for the team than regular bums in seats. Well worth a look. The title kind of gives it away, &quot;How Billionaires broke the NFL&#039;s most loyal fans&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

			<title>Why I won't be renewing my Argonaut's season tickets in 2026</title>

						<description>&lt;p&gt;MLSE doesn&#039;t really care about the Argos and it shows. With half the gates at BMO field closed to prepare the site for the World Cup they did nothing to alleviate the crowding at the the remaining gates. It was business as usual resulting in long lines to get into the games. At the last game of the season where they sold extra tickets there was a long line of fans trying to enter the stadium at game time. Were there any extra staff there to help manage the lines? No. It&#039;s unconscionable to charge $7.25 for a bottle of water when half of the stadium is in full sun. The water fountains that are available at BMO field are grossly inadequate for the size of the venue and don&#039;t even have water bottle fill capabilities which makes those who do line up to use them wait even longer. At least one of the water fountains also dispenses warm water and has such a weak flow that it&#039;s practically unusable. The public address system on the east side of the stadium is unintelligible, wasn&#039;t this bad last year but this year you couldn&#039;t understand anything the referee or on-field hosts were saying.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;6 home games next year, first game at BMO field sometime in August. MLSE has relabelled 3 away games as home games only one of which is within driving distance of Toronto. I&#039;m certainly not going to Hamilton for one of our &quot;home games&quot;. BC managed to put their rescheduled games into venues which allow their fans to attend without flying half way across the country and also put the games into stadiums in places where they might attract new fans. MLSE seems to have picked the easiest and cheapest options for them and for TSN. How about a game in Kingston, Guelph, Waterloo or London? You grow the fan base by taking the game to them and getting them in the stands.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The owners don&#039;t care about the fans. The fiddling with the rules and making the game more like the NFL will do nothing to attract new fans. It&#039;s also an incredibly tone deaf thing to do when there is so much anti-American sentiment in Canada at the current time. All the CFL has managed to do is alienate their most loyal fans. They talk glowingly about expansion but who is going to want to join a league when 7 out of the 9 teams are losing money, the owners don&#039;t want to spend any money promoting the game. You want me to pony up money for season&#039;s tickets when I don&#039;t know where any of the sections are going to be based on the new layout, no thanks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;TSN doesn&#039;t care about the fans in the seats, the CFL commissioner made a big point of saying the changes to the shot clock will speed up the game, do you know what slows the game down more than anything else? TV commercial timeouts, I understand that the CFL needs TV money to survive but calling a TV timeout in the middle of the series, second and 6 for example is irritating. They also like to call a commercial break when the momentum in the game switches. It&#039;s almost like the TSN producers are doing their best to interrupt the flow of the game. How about we start by only calling a TV commercial timeout when possession changes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Getting to BMO field is a huge trial. This season there were games where the GO train wasn&#039;t running or skipped BMO field. If you live north of the city transit isn&#039;t really an option especially if you have limited mobility, and/or it&#039;s a weeknight game.I&#039;m not giving up on going to games but I&#039;ll see how things go next season.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That&#039;s all I can come up with for now, I may add more later or add a second part later.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;item_footer&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://wdawe.com/index.php/why-i-won-t-be-renewing-my-argonaut?blog=1&quot;&gt;Original post&lt;/a&gt; blogged on &lt;a href=&quot;http://b2evolution.net/&quot;&gt;b2evolution&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;but when I tried to mount the filesystem and got this error &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;more Googling pointed me to xfs_admin to generate new UUID&#039;s for the xfs partitions &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;xfs_admin -U generate /dev/mapper/centos1-home&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;after all that was done everything worked fine.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;item_footer&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://wdawe.com/index.php/fixing-lmm-s-with-duplicate-uuid-s?blog=1&quot;&gt;Original post&lt;/a&gt; blogged on &lt;a href=&quot;http://b2evolution.net/&quot;&gt;b2evolution&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

						<description>&lt;p&gt;Microsoft has done a good job of keeping Skype for Linux up to date with one glaring exception. When you install Skype for Linux from the rpm it won&#039;t start. If you dig down into the Skype log which is found in ~/.config/skypeforlinux/logs/skype-startup.log on Centos no matter what you might see on the internet You will find the following message&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;FATAL:setuid_sandbox_host.cc(157)] The SUID sandbox helper binary was found, &lt;br /&gt;
but is not configured correctly. Rather than run without sandboxing I&#039;m aborting now. &lt;br /&gt;
You need to make sure that /usr/share/skypeforlinux/chrome-sandbox is owned by root &lt;br /&gt;
and has mode 4755&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;running &lt;strong&gt;chmod 4755 /usr/share/skypeforlinux/chrome-sandbox&lt;/strong&gt; as root fixes the problem. Unfortunately every time you update Skype you have to do this again! Since you have to install the rpm as root it should be a simple task to fix this but this problem as existed for quite a while. Come on Microsoft don&#039;t be so passive aggressive and fix this up!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;item_footer&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://wdawe.com/index.php/come-on-microsoft-fix-skype?blog=1&quot;&gt;Original post&lt;/a&gt; blogged on &lt;a href=&quot;http://b2evolution.net/&quot;&gt;b2evolution&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

			<title>Installing Mate Desktop on Centos 8 without compiling</title>
			<link>https://wdawe.com/index.php/installing-mate-desktop-on-centos?blog=1</link>

						<description>&lt;p&gt;Wondering why my Centos 8 system was behaving so badly tonight, being unresponsive to clicks and acting like it was swapping I fired up top.  Top showed me that gnome-shell was quite frequently using 100% cpu. The bad behavior of gnome 3 on this machine has become more of an issue as it&#039;s the machine I took home from work to use during the Coronavirus lockdown.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I&#039;ve was never a fan of gnome 3 and the Classic mode just hides all the ugliness behind an old user interface. I have searched Google on and off over the months, waiting for a prebuilt, rpm based Mate to to be available for Centos 8. The first result Google returns is a page that walks you through compiling mate from source. I might have resorted to that but why reinvent the wheely when someone else might have the done the work already. Luckily reddit user &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/user/stenstorp/&quot; class=&quot;linebreak&quot;&gt;https://www.reddit.com/user/stenstorp/&lt;/a&gt; came to the rescue of frustrated Centos 8 by putting up a repo where you can get the rpm&#039;s to install Mate on Centos 8.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I followed his instruction at &lt;a href=&quot;https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/stenstorp/MATE/&quot; class=&quot;linebreak&quot;&gt;https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/stenstorp/MATE/&lt;/a&gt; , rebooted the my machine and in 10 minutes I was using Mate.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thanks again stenstorp. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If mate isn&#039;t your thing he has also ported the minecraft launcher, the budgie desktop and lightdm to Centos. Check out his repo at &lt;a href=&quot;https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/stenstorp/MATE/&quot; class=&quot;linebreak&quot;&gt;https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/stenstorp/MATE/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;item_footer&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://wdawe.com/index.php/installing-mate-desktop-on-centos?blog=1&quot;&gt;Original post&lt;/a&gt; blogged on &lt;a href=&quot;http://b2evolution.net/&quot;&gt;b2evolution&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

						<description>&lt;p&gt;A worthwhile read on why you should not be running sshd in your container &lt;a href=&quot;https://jpetazzo.github.io/2014/06/23/docker-ssh-considered-evil/&quot; class=&quot;linebreak&quot;&gt;https://jpetazzo.github.io/2014/06/23/docker-ssh-considered-evil/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Difference between RUN, CMD and ENTRYPOINT &lt;a href=&quot;http://goinbigdata.com/docker-run-vs-cmd-vs-entrypoint/&quot; class=&quot;linebreak&quot;&gt;http://goinbigdata.com/docker-run-vs-cmd-vs-entrypoint/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Remove stopped containers: docker container prune&lt;br /&gt;
Run with volume mapping: docker run -v /outside_path7:/inside_path image_name ( add /bin/bash at the end to override the Dockerfile and add -it )&lt;br /&gt;
List all containers: docker container ls -all&lt;br /&gt;
List images: docker images&lt;br /&gt;
Remove image: docker rmi image_name&lt;br /&gt;
Export image as tarfile: docker save -o tarfile.tar image_name&lt;br /&gt;
Load exported image: docker load -i image.tar (This command works much better than import as it creates a container as part of the loading)&lt;br /&gt;
Update image with changes: docker commit container_name image_name&lt;br /&gt;
Update image with Dockerfile: docker build -t image_name .&lt;/p&gt;
