It’s wild how the right to form a well-regulated militia includes leaving semiautomatic handguns where children can get them, but what can you do?

I also started on Ubuntu. They used to be pretty great, good device support and basically no hassle. But I am done af and not going back.

I think they are very much capitalist. And then surely the Civil War that poors fought on plantation owners’ behalf should also be blamed on capitalism?

That’s different, because of reasons. When someone dies within a communist system that is communism’s fault. When someone dies in a capitalist system, that’s their own fault for not tugging on those bootstraps.

Somehow I assume you don’t associate capitalism with chattel slavery and apartheid. But you do associate corrupt authoritarianism with economics when it is system that you don’t like.

I agree. A viable long-term economy needs an organized working class that isn’t sleepwalking through life. Would be cool to make the economic system not inherently hierarchical also.

Damn, same, nuked Traefik when v2 broke the setup I spent hours trying to figure out. I don’t think the concepts are overwhelming, but something is profoundly wrong with their documentation habits. Now someone in the comments here is saying v3 changes the way paths are read with regex? Lol, fuck Traefik, never again.

Anecdotally I mostly hear that the cross-platform code doesn’t work so you end up needing to write platform specific implementations of everything anyway. But in Flutter. And it is harder to hire good talent for.

A lot of debs add services to systemd, do those just skip that part?

That attack surface is not vanishing. It’s would be relocating the same attack surface to something that might have an xz library in memory.

If we could get an LLM that uploads all our data along with an ad server in our desktop apps, then we’d really have something going.

Big mood. It is fucking exhausting explaining basic tech concepts to stakeholders over and over.

Would be a fun series to watch, wizards trying to run a functioning castle under a king who doesn’t understand the importance of anything magical.

Well, fun for me. Might be some high blood pressure and early heart attacks for IT folks who have to live it.

I’m now weirdly self-aware of how often I say that. It is probably better if I don’t meet your friend.

I like how you realized you had to hedge at the end to not look like a ridiculous hypocrite. “What I’m doing here is totally different because my audience is smaller.” You can just delete the comment if you find yourself backed into a corner like that. It’s sunk cost fallacy to go ahead with posting it.

Perhaps it was the English teachers who were wrong.

Correct or not, people have been using it like that for a while.

This is one of the best things I’ve ever read.

I’d love to see a robots.txt do a couple safe listings, then a zip bomb, then a safe listing. It would be fun to see how many log entries from an IP look like get a, get b, get zip bomb… no more requests.

A Universal Blue derivative and rollback if there’s an issue is LTS enough for me.

For an LTS LTS, I’d be looking at Alma or Debian.

What is “way” out of date, in your mind? I thought all LTSes were on kernel version 5-something at the moment.

“To make my computer do as I wish I simply need to lie about my country of residence. I am very technically adept.”

TBF I do find that confusing. I’m used to human-readable conf files that persist across updates. But I can see how non-technical users might think understanding a collection of tricks is knowledge of their OS.
