a lot of people are terrible writers, and as such, the idea that another user can actually write is offensive to them.

I worry you’re right, here; but only in brief episodes. I mostly want to assume otherwise.

I LOVE great writing: proper punctuation, good delineation, awareness of mass nouns, etc. I love when I see great writing and wish I could be as good.

I feel for people who don’t.

Are there 7-11s? I thought the ABCs pushed them out. (ABC: All Blocks Covered)

It could be regional or arbitrary. I say ‘coding’ a lot because it’s shorter. I could say one is about the keyboard work and one is about the architecture and design, but it’s really the fact that one’s shorter.

But in my environment, they’re interchangeable as much as anything can be. And I’ve grown up using both; even in college in the '90s, coding C and m68k.

YMMV?

Snipe-it failed iso27002 when I last checked.

1. Avoid anything with bad supply chains that fail iso27002
2. Yum via cron
3. Huh. That’s all of it.

Aaaaaaaand defunded

Cheapest what?

Butbutbut the name has ‘open’ in it. How can this be?

(I worked on OpenUnix and OpenLinux, so I get it)

Concrete is a [disaster] from an environmental perspective

Concrete -> density -> efficient housing and metro

I’m sorry you love sprawl and roads.

I absolutely love the Apple 3.5mm wired earpods. I have several spare for when apple decides it’s bored of them and stops supply.

Heh.

‘Loss’ due to piracy was always like 3%. It costs way more than that for this mess. They don’t have to be good, just annoying enough to keep 97% of people paying.

Excellent point. Is it bouyed on petty theft? Should visa take that hit or should it be insurance?

Day job: oneScrote and fucking ansible

Night job: some wiki for the architecture, but just config management for the config detail : we run the docs and it’s done. Thankfully not fucking ansible; because in any environment where there are options, it’s not fucking ansible.

Did you want ‘wrecking’?

World: surprised pikachu

33 years with Linux (kernel 1.2.13, slackware). Worked at a distro. Worked in OS security – Unix and enterprise Linux. I helped build United Linux out of the dismembered corpse suse kicked over the fence as ‘collaboration’.

Because of the validation issue in the .deb package format and others, I’m on a mixture of Rocky and Nobara.

I’m subscribed to cloudLinux’s tuxcare enterprise updates for some older stuff, and I can’t recommend it enough. It’s excellent; and if almalinux releases their sLTS distro release and actually covers it for 25 years, that will be such a coup.

I’m worried at the direction Linux has been taken by IBM and I hope it can be unfucked one day. I miss the reliable, fast boots and uncomplicated tooling before this systemd shitshow.

The moment you discover anything else, you’re gonna be so pleased. It’ll seem so modern! So fast!

Check out gatus.

It doesn’t do SNMP. That’s … bold.
