Please also consider mikrotik brand gear. I’ve been told they’re especially easy to manage as one moves from manual control to something declarative like terraform(opentofu).

I dot know about all gen-x but I feel a strong aggressive feeling at ‘bruh’. Maybe the legion of kids saying it so often that you wish for a ‘literally’ as respite has given me opinions.

natural gas

Say methane. It’s methane. It’s the same methane that is like 20x as bad for the environment as gasoline.

But I think even the worst case did not have “world war” into consideration.

Specifically “blowing up regional methane storage” was probably unexpected.

Their house will be nicer than average, probably not crazy, but just a lot more than a typical person would have.

I hear Michael Bublé lives in a modest house he inherited, and he’s a great neighbour. But he seems as un-Hollywood as people can be, so he may be a bad example.

Or if you live in a crazy expensive neighborhood or building, your neighbors are pretty much guaranteed to be rich.

Careful. We’re paying $4.10/sqft/mo rent and we are NOT rich; just in a very overpriced area.

That’s just systemd adding a birthdate field to their userdb. Doesn’t require that it be filled out or accurate

Whoosh.

The self-important creator of Systemd has personally blocked that PR, if I’m hearing correctly, which would suggest he or his employer Microsoft is all in on it.

Maybe this’ll take the shine off that wunderkinder mess and people will finally be free to choose something more reliable. I love how RH pushed this beta software so hard and my reboots are now just shite – unreliable and occasionally ridiculously delayed.

I’ll be glad to see the back of that metastatic shitball.

weird grab bag

You don’t mention whether that is adherence to the FHS or denial of it.

One of those options is, to be clear, violating a standard.

The CI turned me off though. It’s like they saw how bad GitHub is for CI and said “no notes. Just like that”

And I use the CI config a huge amount.

So lennart personally blocked the revert? Fucking on-brand for all he’s wrecked in Linux.

Is he still working at Microsoft, or was he just too special for them too?

Wow. Every word of that is frightening.

I left my union job when a toxic manager started becoming … toxic. The new dot-com job was a really great fit.

So I quit on a Friday, hopped a plane, flew about 6 hours, found a hotel overnight, stayed at a really shitty AirB&B for a day because the first apartment was rented out from underneath me, found ANOTHER apartment, and thankfully close to work because, yes, it was a foot commute in December at -40c/-40f until the wife sold our place, paid movers, gathered the two cats and flew out.

Started work that Monday. They’d changed the job description while I was on a fucking plane. Those fuckers. But there I was, 4,000 km from home, no job, and while this was before the house sold, the job market back home was absolute shite. No going back.

for me:

Your

Your

Your

You’re represented by your words. It can cost you opportunities.

snaps aren’t the end of the world

System engineers all collectively shuddered at that thought. Then OS security nerds.

This is the “I tried heroin and it was good” story but for OSes

I’ve worked on suse as part of Unitedlinux.

No, I’d say it’s not forgotten. Just repressed.

Even if you ARE irreplaceable and crucial to success, the company will only realize it a month after you’re gone.

I get this like 6 times a year.

Wait. Are you my alt account?

I did non-profit work. If you wanna see absolute abuse of employees, go do non-profit. “You have to stay late (for free). Think of the children!”

They’re chronically understaffed while sometimes overstaffed with volunteers who don’t add to the expertise and still require experienced training every shift; but you can’t ignore their attempt to contribute because “the children” need them. So your day is trying to get routine things done amid relentless interruption for the same thing you told an unskilled empty-nester yesterday.

It makes one say things that sound really bad in the reading of, like the bit above. I promise it’s just experience and, while all effort is good, the least beneficial ones do stand out.
