Ah. The ‘bait’ phase is followed by the ‘switch’ phase?

Check if you’re using cloud-init

Nice. I’m struggling hard to keep cloud-init out of my pve setup.

cleaver

took security even remotely seriously

There’s a reason they’re at SLSA1 . And this is it.

Plot twist: SLSA4 has been achievable since like 1998. Sit DOWN, Debian.

It’s a hyphen, Skippy. Learn to use it.

Absolutely this.

33 years in Linux, 30+ professionally, Unix+Linux security background in a past life at a fucking distro.

When I first install a new distro version, I do something very simple; maybe I configure a simple web page, for instance.

Usually the web server refuses to start, or something equally “so dumb it should have been seen in early testing and doesn’t even get to the challenge I set before it” stupid. If the distro can’t test something so basic, then I know they’re not prepared to consider selinux implications while maintaining or debugging the distro. I don’t need to blaze a trail the distro can’t be arsed to.

Then I mod away the config in my template and hope the distro can pull out their proverbial head in 5 years.

The easiest path needs to be the safest path

5kg of c4

overkill. Shitty shotgun loaded with a slug. Hit it at the right spot.

seems unfinished

Knowing you have enough is absolutely satisfying. Musk doesn’t have it. Bezos doesn’t. You do.

False. I’m a decade out and I’m mostly still enjoying the learning and the challenge of it all.

Do what ya love and you’ll never work a day in your life.

But the moment after showing LPs had this trope, it suggests album purchases – which had this trope.

I bought Finger Eleven, wanting an album of Paralyzed. I bought Mezzanine, wanting 10 tracks of Dissolved Girl.

In each case I got something else which eventually grew on me for the artistry it was, but in the moment I felt hoodwinked.

Anything container-free? We like iso27002, here.

setup

set up. “Setup” is a noun that lost its hyphen.

everytime

every time. Otherwise it’s not a word at all.

Ooh, good deal.

Not if I can help it.

Wild, An Almost Zero Waste Toiletries Company Sells Out To Unilever

At first I thought the first word was sarcasm

Not in English. Not with that punctuation. You missing a tree? :-p

To be fair, the delimiting was lame, too, as it was missing the trailing delimiter; but in an objective guess where there was no (semi-)colon and the American Ghost Comma exists, that Ghost Comma is the likely case.

I’ll downvote that too.

It seems to #bothsides an issue via a lot of hyperbole, and risks straw-manning one side just for a favourable comparison.

I don’t colour myself a tankie, but I do live in a more socialist country than America - low bar, such as it is. I sense I’m not in a position to properly understand how your argument can make sense, but the kneejerk comparison I feel needs some explanation before just throwing that smelly fish out there.

It’s not cut-and-dried, but presented as such. It’s not helpful and relevant by itself. Thus, downvote.

It’s funny that we’ve had SLSA4-compliant package managers for 25 years, but we leave juniors un-mentored and this is what they build as they self-teach … over and over and over.

I think those robes, the crown, the Sceptre, they were all the Crown’s stuff - aka the Firm, the organization that is the English monarchy - and not his. They existed before him, they will exist after him, and his wearing them lays little claim of ownership past “work clothes” than a pilot can claim to own the plane he’s flying.

Yes, it’s a bad look. The guy at the bank denying loans wears a fancy suit. The lawyers in America fighting to deny healthcare wear amazing suits.

Would you have him sell the crown he doesn’t effectively own to throw money at a problem? Never go to the Louvre, or they’ll toss you out for yelling about how they should sell the art to pay for the French homeless.

In all this you forget: if the pilot sells his plane, if the Louvre sells some pricy paintings, if the Crown’s representative sells the work clothes he’s issued, who’s buying it? That guy, those people buying them, they’ve truly amassed a personal fortune to be able to buy something like that. It’s not work for them; it’s obscene decadence and greed.

THOSE are your villains. Taxation is how we get them to pay their share from here on in, like we did in the '40s through the '70s. And I think the max tax rate above 1mil gross takings every year should be a 101% tax rate: you’re paying everything you took and just a little bit more. Maybe take less. Maybe launch fewer rockets and buy a few less elections and pay to fix hunger and healthcare and all that instead.

Linux’s license not count as about Linux?

Philosophically, no.

In set theory, also no.

Legally, still no.

Does it contain similar letters? Like Laughter and Slaughter do, yes.
