on-premise

You mean “private cloud”, right? No one who can afford outpost will be putting this in their server closet. It’ll go in the datacenter.

it is crazy that Poettering is even considering merging this

You’ve, uh, seen systemd, right? Cmon; this is just one more section for the cancer to eat.

Consider PCLinuxOS: they’re an RPM-based mandriva (mandrake/conectiva) derivative with really great and wide compatibility in stacks without the ‘modules’ shitfest RH started after no one remembered what ‘alternatives’ was for.

They don’t use systemd, but their installation is a bit shite as it’s a “live CD” installer – they pruned out the proper templatey install that mandriva has. But so far that’s the biggest issue. If they can get off networkManager we’ll be even better off, though.

paid these developers 500k$/yr or whatever

The smartest guy I know - dizzyingly capable - was only pulling a very small fraction of that. I suspect ‘or whatever’ is doing a lof of heavy lifting, here.

Feedback is feedback.

You can bet they won’t now.

Nice #TheFrontFellOff homage

Popularity in the news doesn’t equate to reality, any more than everyone saying “5 emails” makes it correct to do so. It just means it’s popular in the news because it sells more ad time.

there are complete ansible-repos

Ansible is toxic. Anything else?

There are many benefits to a siloed operation that all relate to preventing overwork and scope creep.

This example is part of the cost.

We use copy and paste a lot.

My nephew’s initials are b.o.m.b unintentionally.

He’s the bomb.

“gnarly” still exists as a word for convoluted or fouled.

“Bray” is the verb for a donkey making noise.

The more I type about it, the less “psych” looks like a valid English word.

…because the word is ‘psyche’: “I psyched him out.”

I think it’s Greek origin, and it’s like “psychology”.

How about no?

Is there ice cream on it or in it? Spoon. Otherwise, fork.

No. “Being a disappointing,” yes. “A disappointment,” no.

The difference is one is a fixable behaviour, and the other is an identity.

I too got confused by the bad pronoun reference. It took me a second to realize that, no, he’s on about trump.

For sure. And their bumbling has made it harder to deactivate all the useless bloat and get the good web-editor back. And a host of other mind-numbingly short-sighted decisions that show they’re fully run by LostBoy coders who were never mentored and just don’t know better.

But tuning can come after. And their CI is way fucking better than forgejo’s facepalm of a GitHub clone. And that’s a thin reason, but, yeah.

You support bungalows and property lines but not demarcation for consolidated resource management.

Weird. And very wasteful to the planet.
