He didn’t. He wanted freax or something dumb. Someone talked him into Linux.

I switched the the snap package and it’s been rock solid and pain free the entire time.

I welcome any and all comments on why snap is Satan.

Bots in the build up to the election here in the states?

You know what makes my Linux distribution perfect? My windows partition that I can switch to quickly.

This might help:

And green. All associated with the more popular variants pfsense, opnsense, truenas, and freebsd.

Data truly is beautiful

I use vimwiki and wrote a bash script that pulls all of the Todo items from across my wiki and puts them in a single file with TODO and IN PROGRESS sections.

I have a keybind that pulls up the list and runs the script to refresh it.

It’s not linked to any calendar though. I keep my to-do list and calendar separate.

I use Gmail and have that calendar for my personal stuff. At work I am forced to use outlook.

That’s why my windows partition is still in regular use. I play apex legends. It used to play flawlessly on pop is but over a year ago at this point it started screwing up.

I’d usually be able to get it working after a while, but when I have 30-45 minutes or maybe an hour at most to game, I don’t want to spend all of it “fixing”. I’d rather restart into windows and be playing in a minute.

Probably have a porn and PC game filter to thank for my career in IT

Wait so people got butthurt that a company made a deal with nix. That company also does business with ICE. And people are mad at Nix?

What am I missing?

Also companies and open source entities do business with all manner of government(s) all the time.

“rocinante” for my proxmox host.

“awkward, past his prime, and engaged in a task beyond his capacities.” From don Quixote’s wiki page.

It seemed fitting considering it is a server built from old PC parts…engaged in tasks beyond its abilities.

The rest of my servers (VMs moslty) are named for what they actually do/which vlan they are on (eg vm15) and aren’t fun or excitin names. But at least I know if I am on that VM it has access to that vlan(or that it’s segregated from my other networks).

This is such horseshit. The drama of the Linux community never ceases to amaze me.

Zero trust has entered the chat

Why not both?

Let’s say MS charges $5M a year.

Their support contract, assuming they get one, for libre office might be $1M.

They could still invest another $1M in OSS and still save $3M

A $1M net gain for OSS and a $3M savings for the govt.

I think he was trying to say apps get access to “root features” through an abstraction layer/API calls that is controlled.

They don’t/wouldn’t have carte blanche root access to the underlying system. It’s kinda like a docker container or VM or flatpaks/snap packages on Linux. They are sandboxed from everything else and have to be given explicit premission to do certain things(anything that would need root privileges/hardware access).

Assume yes until you can prove otherwise.

I think unRAID does that. But I never looked into it much tbh.

I don’t have nearly that much worth backing up(5TB–and realistically only 2TB is probably critical), but I have a Synology Nas(12TB raid 1) and truenas (zfs striped/mirrored) that I back my stuff to (and they back up to each other).

Then I have a raspberry pi with a USB drive (8tb) at my parents house 4 hours away, that my Synology backs up to (over tailscale).

Oh, and I have a USB HDD(8tb) that I plug in and backup my Synology Nas to and throw in my fireproof safe. But thats a manual backup I do once every quarter or 6 months if I remember. That’s a very very last resort backup.

My offsite is at my parents.

And no, I have not tested it because I don’t know how I’m actually supposed to do that.

So it sounds like Vultr isn’t doing anything nefarious at all.

Someone apparently actually read the terms and services for the first time a few days ago and misunderstood them since they were saying it was in reference to the Vuktr website not your servers.

And either way, they removed the offended lang to clear it up.

This seems like a knee jerk mob reaction more than anything.

There is no evidence that they’ve done anything with anyone’s data.

Is it unmaintained completely or just feature complete and not getting recent updates?

I’ve seen people say “this tool isn’t being maintained because there aren’t recent check ins” and those two things are very different.
