Absolutely this.

While lawsuits seem to drive the American economy, maybe we don’t all have a lawsuit fund to go alongside our medical expense account, because we’re too busy paying for housing and heat and light and food and gas.

…and maybe we shouldn’t feel like the credible threat of a lawsuit is the only thing keeping people in line.

Dood. Boot times are useless ‘flex’ metrics more influenced by processor and disk speed than init systems. My el5 and el6 archive systems boot faster than my el7 ELS system, which itself is faster than el9; but not by enough to matter when you’re booting every week to a month. It’s never BEEN an issue.

Compare complexity: Has your init system metastasized over the entire host and re-implemented (poorly) other core systems, so long-dependable features just simply don’t work, and everything has its own rinky-dink silly-walk to configure instead of /etc/fstab or /etc/exports, instead of staying in its lane? No? You’re good. Diversity and specialization will give you excellent results and security. Yes? You have systemd.

There’s your comparison.

But it’s so sloooowwww

shear

“sheer”, here.

The smartest guy I ever met - dizzyingly smart - coded virtual memory management replacements for Unix from putty on windows.

Is that guy elite? Are you being elitist?

1. Win31 sucked
2. I needed a modem terminal for my 386.

Ai spend

If the ‘journalist’ uses salesbro jargon, the only thing I want from them is a deal on this used Buick.

8Gb of ddr4 is $25

Ha! My 32g was $600, so 6x that.

Show me a forum<->nntp proxy.

Your kids’ school bus

Look at this journalist, thinking anyone with kids can afford to have more than one.

It’s what we call the things Yanks and North Koreans use to measure weight since ‘ton’ is assumed to be a metric ton for the rest of the world.

(Yes, I’ve seen the Canadian weights and measures flowchart but this is still a funny jab)

• Akrites establishes a shared Security Incident Response Team (SIRT) and a single, standardized Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure (CVD) process, built on confidentiality-first principles and industry-standard tooling.

Soo XKCD 927?

reams of fresh inputs.

Thank your “journalists” who “graduated high school” for their interesting take on mass nouns.

So, like 95% of us?

…and gen-x will not be affected by zoomie acceptance…

Have we ever considered not using really bad installer paradigms until they’re fixed? It seems like alternatives are right there, but still people are choosing the worst idea and running with it.

I say this as someone who worked Unix and Linux security for an OS vendor – better alternatives are there.

“ferroelectric fluid” sounds very sandpapery to plastic housings.

Mr Doctorov has a nice life where he needs to make no tough decisions. I envy a life without least-worse voting and other harm-reduction efforts, where one can write what he dreams and people will happily consume it.

That’s a very excellent response. Greetings, fellow greybeard. I miss apt-rpm.

I don’t use laptops.

I have some dell optiplex and poweredge in the home-lab.

These machines are ported through a KVM, and I’m using a desktop on proxmox where the GPU, mouse, keyboard, sound and cam are ported into the fedora VM via proxmox from there the KVM connects.

I play WoW and zero-k, but the voice chat isn’t working in WoW.
