Sorry. My fault. I’ve been working too much to play games.

“Security Vulnerabilities”.

No. “Code changes that could one day be a vulnerability but aren’t yet exploited or even proved”.

Slop.

Canada should move to the Euro for international trade.

Oh, jebus. Can we get some shiny new deHavilland 515 please? They’re just coming off the line in calgary for 2028 and they look like a smaller, shinier Mars. About 200 seems to be what we’re needing…

And we’d sell the time to America if they pay. Cash, please. In advance, naturally.

This. The question is always how long it will take to break even. A year? 6 months? The big number is just for shock value.

Yeah, but that’s like saying “blue. The kind of car I drive is blue.”

If you can get logged-in and issue an lspci it’ll help a lot.

Just take a pic of the output with your phone if you’re on the console. We’ll cope.

at what number is the media will stop numbering their space walks?

The exact moment they become equal. Apparently the news isn’t ready for that yet as it’s still calling it out like Timmy made a painting.

Noooo. It’s seen revenue decline as it’s continued to shift from wood to slats to paper-filled shit.

The rising cost of living is a problem completely unrelated to the cheapflation of Ikea’s offerings.

Short-sighted kids are a little more common after we fired the mentors and documenters in our field: they don’t know how or why we did such dumb things before and thus can’t avoid them. It’s like how America fired all its inspectors and now suffer en masse from salmonella and explosive diarrhea from tainted food: causal.

I love the “just fork it” argument.

Look, Elon, maybe we can’t solo a project like that if we’re still using old hardware, okay?

Sorry if that made you frown behind your shades. Ask the poolside waiter for a other cocktail.

With an ifdef.

YSK flatpaks break iso27002 and score low on SLSA.

I like cinnamon. Haven’t run desktop Linux since slackware, so it was a breath of fresh air on Nobara.

Nobara for fun, rocky for work.

I worked on United Linux, with suse. Never again.

The canonical method was with a kickstart, and if it looks like too complex, remember you should have one stashed in /root already that you just need to mod.

Normally a kickstart is a bit much, otherwise, though. I use a suite of tools but the best one I used was a simple virtual package to bring in the others, drop configs in and start daemons. We did this in like 2001 to great effect.

Dood. Boot times are useless ‘flex’ metrics more influenced by processor and disk speed than init systems. My el5 and el6 archive systems boot faster than my el7 ELS system, which itself is faster than el9; but not by enough to matter when you’re booting every week to a month. It’s never BEEN an issue.

Compare complexity: Has your init system metastasized over the entire host and re-implemented (poorly) other core systems, so long-dependable features just simply don’t work, and everything has its own rinky-dink silly-walk to configure instead of /etc/fstab or /etc/exports, instead of staying in its lane? No? You’re good. Diversity and specialization will give you excellent results and security. Yes? You have systemd.

There’s your comparison.

The smartest guy I ever met - dizzyingly smart - coded virtual memory management replacements for Unix from putty on windows.

Is that guy elite? Are you being elitist?

1. Win31 sucked
2. I needed a modem terminal for my 386.

NATO just wants the one without the remote kill switch in the baby hands of a belligerent narcissist.
