Honestly, though, NM is useless on a server or VM. I don’t know why they still have that kludge installed on 90% of machines.
Having said that. Lennart’s Cancer is junk from junk process. It WILL be adopted by every distro but PCLinuxOS because no other distro is putting effort towards stability and reliability.
I’d hoped that moving to Microsoft would allow IBM to re-evaluate the shit shoveled into its declining enterprise product, but that’s not looking likely given staffing and IBM’s ancillary priorities. RHEL only needs to be Good Enough so it can sell certs and classes and AAP and other make-work.
You can pluralize without the apostrophe. In fact, you never need an apostrophe to pluralize.
It also saves distro’s a lot of effort.
Only if they want to break free.
And they don’t need nfsroot or a separate consolidated /usr mount or, really, a whole host of things that lennart didnt understand and unilaterally broke like an arrogant noob.
REMEMBER BREXIT? That time a Conservative Party directed widespread voter frustration at a single easy scapegoat, smothered the public with misinformation, and were rewarded with their biggest electoral victory in decades? Something similar is happening today in Canada....
Ah. I think I’m top-ten, but we’re renters. So that’s the window where people improving their economic spot need to reach – you need to be top 5% to own a home without buying-in 20 years ago, and above that to own a vacation home.
Contrast that with a nation so heavily-taxed like Sweden where 50% of the country seems to own a cottage AND a small boat.
Sweden is infamous for having some of the highest taxes in the world, and yet the country’s tax agency is still one of Sweden’s most trusted institutions....

There’s a lot of accusations about the food. The food itself isn’t extra-bad, though: it’s beef, cheese, bread, pickles, onions and condiments. You may eat these already.
“At approximately 9 a.m. April 22, a U.S. Secret Service special agent supporting the Vice President’s departure from Joint Base Andrews began displaying behavior their colleagues found distressing.

This is patently false. Younger Canadians want to retire at an age where they’re still healthy. But can’t.
My cousin retired at 48.
Astounding, right? A little luck, a little wisdom and careful spending, and also a union job he slid into at 23 and worked 25 years at in various cities until he’d built his time and could retire out.
He’s not perfect; his hands are trashed, but he can still steer his bike and climb rocks. His back is rough but he doesn’t need to lift much, now. So even he’s on the border of health.
He’s living the best life we could hope for, the life this trickle-down myth from the conservatives took from the rest of us.
We need so many unions that the labour rights they claim to fight for become almost a standard; then it will become one. They’re not in the business of helping non-members anymore, but we can use them to our benefit.
I work in IT. The reduced neuroplasticity is a thing we noticed, especially as they approach new IT processes.
we need our elders to show us why some new products (like the one we call Lennart’s Cancer) is wrong-headed
they still need to work
learning is slower, but they leverage their 40 years of meta-experience to great effect.
Maybe they should retire, if they can. Maybe we recognize where their strengths have changed and make use of them accordingly.
I know mentorship and working-lead posts are few, but that’s kinda how we got where we are now. If you think we should ditch the one group who will champion fair labour and bring the proverbial receipts, then you may need to check your limbs for puppet-strings.
SOME of the points in this rant are valid. The conclusions are wrong because the context is wrong.
This guy wanted to get paid for his free software. Sure it’s not free – any more than the miniatures my warhammer-lovin’ cousin painstakingly paints are ‘free’ for his time. Wanting to get magic money compensation, though, is wrong in both cases.
The public issue on github where people are slagging him for maybe expiring some old software; that’s just stupid drama. Maybe he did, maybe he didn’t. NO. ONE. CARES. They’re just pissed at the apparent rug-pull and “buy a license” isn’t the best way to be not-a-dick about it.
Offering the source code of a project to the world is extra work and an act of kindness. We should reward it in kind.
We should have the option to reward it. We shouldn’t be harangued for not.
Disclosure: I maintained a well-used piece of software for about 10 years, and contributed to other projects as time permitted. I never, ever, wrote a single line of code or email expecting money for any of it. I went into it as a spare-time thing and I stopped when that ran out. I have no compassion for people who just magically expected a wealth of ready donations for whatever they produce. It’s entirely naive. It’s like the beggar yelling at you for not dropping a twenty into the cup.

Not enough inspectors to do a thorough job. Defunding inspection and compliance-checking is a classic pro-biz/anti-people play by the conservatives, and this is how it plays out; either tainted food, bridges collapsing, or something with normal people shafted.
Obligatory reminder that the Globe and Mail, once Canadian-owned and consistently centre/centre-left, is now owned by a republican-leaning American organization, and that stories about our two countries or anything in the typical Conservative agenda may be more prevalent or seem more biased.
Immigration, ‘othering’ immigrants, and highlighting supposed links between crime and ‘others’ like immigrants or homeless people, falls in that agenda.

Let a narcisist bipolar family member onto my home server for phaseI. For phaseII I granted too much access in sudo because I was busy. Fast forward a year or two and a downswing triggers the victim rage and he attempts to wreck my server after a minor argument – would have, too, if I wasn’t keenly aware of a conversation he had a few weeks before where he detailed “how to fuck with someone horribly” to a peer and I used that recollection to reverse the damage. It was a lucky thing, and 25 years on I have better security and backup processes.

the conservative “I got mine;fuck you” doesn’t work when it’s ‘others’ in need; it doesn’t even work when it’s poorer Americans in need
the sea lion questioning is a stalling tactic; always has been.
Republicans can’t even keep a Senate leader, and this guy was right up their seditious theocratic enslaving-women hell-hole alley. They will readily agree to nothing that doesn’t fit their cruel and narrow ideological dependencies.
It always was going to BE a money pit, as that’s the alternative to Normandy and ditching the UN shackles (which is a terrible idea but required).
Time to spend 1/10th as much on Ukraine’s military as America spends on its own, and solve this shit.
If the current thing is the least worst option, then yes. If you can’t see it’s about least-worst and not branding, you may need to repeat some courses.
seems to be primarily concerned with real estate value and helping it achieve higher and higher values by ensuring not enough homes are available for all Canadians
That’s a pretty specific guess that Hanlon’s Razor slices up in seconds without some kind of data other than ‘seems’.
We were doing everything Ansible does for the 95% case in 2002. Like, for 95% of use-cases, Ansible is absolutely no better than a conglomeration of tools from 2002. Definitely no reason to pay licensing.
Bonus: since it’s version-agnostic (another win over Ansible if you’ve ever managed Tower/AAP/whatever next week) I’m still using that paradigm today because it works SO well. It’s losing to Cinc or mgmtConfig but only because those are 1 and 2 generations newer than Ansible and do offer distinguishing features.
