Sometimes the Lennart Poetterings fuck up

Dude. That guy has single-handedly ruined two decades of bulletproof, fast, reliable booting. I can’t wait until we all wise up and it’s more than PCLinuxOS that avoids this mess. It’s a metastatic kudzu/poison-ivy hybrid with a taste for flesh.

2 weeks to set everything up (lamp stack, K3S, crowdsec, openappsec, wireguard, etc)

If you’re pushing kubes onto a normie or a noob, the fault’s partially yours. Single-box apache, maybe samba xor git, depending on the workflow, and some audio hints in /etc/profile.d to remind them how to restart various pieces if they can putty in.

echo 'yum clean ; yum upgrade --skip-broken --no-best ; needs-rebooting && reboot||:' > /etc/cron.weekly/do-eet

… and walk away.

(--no-best and --skip-broken because RH can’t even do releng now. ‘You had one job’ meets ‘Dead Sea Effect’)

If you only knew how fortified an AWS DC would be in that area. It’s gonna fail-secure, and getting in will require leverage.

Workweek

Two words, my dude.

two containers

Good luck, but I’m out.

BSD isn’t Unix. It’s fairest to say it is a Unix. Unix was built in Murray Hill and maintained by a succession of corporations and now sits locked in a safe at a company where they will never have the clue or interest to maintain or distribute it, thanks to IBM. Everything else is just sparkling multics.

(Source: was on the periphery, know the people who know where the bodies are)

And it’s neat to see how well IBM killed the competition who dared to cry code-rape.

There are so many comma splices in there.

What’s the big deal? For 20 years in the enterprise space it’s been yum upgrade -y && reboot into cron and no issues. At the day job I even had satellite (5 and that shitball 6) cronned up to do my promotion automatically (even when 6 had shit for scheduling and I had to cron-parallel-xargs a better one). All cron.

Hell, I barely pay attention to the email reports now. It’s been that long. Okay, prod updates on Friday night only; but that’s our only nod to risk. Because even after the metastatic fatberg that is Systemd, it’s still barely reliable.

What’s the added risk for Debian packages? Imperfect replacement? No signed manifest to compare against? What?

I wish it was only double. You saw where I said it was 4x? 4x is really close to 5x ; 80% of the way, you know.

Not if they sell it on the surge.

They may have millions extra, and that just means they’ve now become a shitty version of best buy as they schlepp it at surge pricing to make back the bank.

USEnet would like a word.

1. Self-hosting guide appears missing
2. Other guides have crazy writing errors
3. Setup looks convoluted.

What I’ve seen makes me bet I could be dragging iso27002 out and marking all the rules it breaks. …and the devs won’t know what that means.

Yeah. It sucks that the protocol works and everyone can use it. It’s the worst.

The RAM I just bought last week was 4 times the identical purchase 14 months ago.

You sure it’s not part of the shortage? Who’s making new ddr4?

I think anthropic is in the “ah shit we’re dying” startup stage. They’re not looking it profit so much as not losing ALL of their shirt in the coming crash. So it pivoted and ditched its morals. Hate them for that.

Don’t hate them for being greedy yet: they’re not there. Maybe they’ll never get there. But they’ve lived long enough to become the thing they strived to destroy, so that’s a milestone.

it’s spiritualist woo-woo

That’s American chiropractors.

I go to a physiotherapist at the chiro clinic. Active rehab is the bomb.

Apt: safest for Debian

Pip/pipx: kids dig it. See “supply chain attack”

You do what you want to support and maintain.

As popularity doesn’t equal validity, repo size isn’t a measure of safety.

Ask a system person about the massive validation hole in pips (and dockers and CPAN and composer bits and venvs and crates and gems) and why enterprise people and the safety-aware avoid this like it’s toxic.

that’s why “they (the rich)” want to drive up the price of HDDs so we can’t afford it, so we are tied to their cloud systems forever

That seems like a reach. Hanlon’s says they’re just buying HDDs for their Artificial Imbecile service.

how do you achieve the hot standby?

Raid6. Or, 3 in raid5 and a 4th inserted and marked exactly as “hot standby”.

I hope that’s enough to search on.
