WSL is actually pretty OK now, it’s lightyears ahead of what it was. You can even run systemd in it now.

That certainly makes me feel better for letting the Magic Smoke out.
I don’t think it became easier at all until it was forked off into Xorg and they started making dramatic improvements.
I think it was trial and error for hours at least.
It certainly was until I discovered the monitor I hadn’t fried had the modelines printed on a sticker on the back…
My feelings on the subject is that they don’t live nearly long enough to not give them a simple pleasure like sleeping with their people.
Even when he wakes me up at 4am because his paws must be licked for 20 minutes.
Or when he wakes me up at 5am whining to get under the covers.
Or when he sleeps like this, which is all the time:

So I’m not the only one who fried a monitor trying to get X11 working…
and how hard it was to get x11 working
Oh good God. If you really want to test someone’s resolve, sit them down at an old computer with a CRT and no Internet and have them configure X11 from scratch. Seeing that default X11 crosshatch background for the first time was practically orgasmic after the bullshit I went through to make it work.
That’s one of those traumatizing experiences I’d completely blocked from my memory until I read your comment.
Traumatizing experience #2 that just came back to me was getting a winmodem working and connected to my ISP via minicom.
At work/for business, you can’t beat Veeam. It’s the gold standard and there is literally nothing better.
At home, Duplicity. Set it up once and then just let it go, and it supports a million different backup targets you can ship your backups off to, including the local filesystem. Has auto-aging/removal rules, easy restores, incrementals, etc. Encrypts by default too.
I’ve been using nothing but Linux at home and work for 20 years and it’s news to me that these words are not equal synonyms.
The only people that get upset over it are those whose entire personality are based on superficial bullshit like this because they don’t have a personality, or just want to feel superior to someone else, or both.
I’ve been using Linux professionally for a couple of decades, and using it period since it was hard to install and Slackware came in the mail on ~50 floppy disks. There is not enough “Get off my lawn” in the world for those people.
I’ll call the path container whatever I damned well please.
You wouldn’t download a folder
The fuck I wouldn’t! I’m gonna do it now out of spite!
I’ve been using vscode since it was released and I never knew that was an option. Thank you!
docker (while you don’t need it to host things, it makes your life 10x easier)
…until you have a single extra space character hiding 20 lines into your compose
file and the whole thing falls over the next time you try to bring the containers up.
Lint your code and configs every time!
Gotcha. I understand your opinion, but they seem pretty confident about their ability to continue to deliver.
And also, never get into bed with Oracle. I quit a job once when they started seriously sniffing Oracle’s panties. Oracle has hostages, not customers.
Look in to Rocky Linux. It was started by the original developer of CentOS the day Red Hat announced that CentOS would be moving upstream of RHEL. They’ve already put out an announcement saying that it’s essentially going to be business as usual for them.
Fedora isn’t the testing distribution for RHEL, CentOS is. Fedora is upstream of CentOS and could be viewed as the bleeding edge in that regard. CentOS used to be downstream of RHEL, but that changed a few years ago when IBM did its first shitty thing at Red Hat. The tree is like:
Fedora (Top of code stream, “unstable” from a business perspective)
|
|
v
CentOS (midstream, much less frequent feature updates)
|
|
v
RHEL (end of stream, stable/predictable/reliable/etc)
And I couldn’t disagree more about RHEL adding little value. You’re not going to run a server on Fedora for something you want/need to rely on, and especially rely on not to change much/cause breaking changes. That’s what RHEL is for and it is the gold standard in that regard.
And that’s not even mentioning the fact that Red Hat support is some of the absolute best in the world. Motherfuckers will write a bespoke kernel module for you if that’s what it takes to fix your issue. Not sure if that’s still true after the IBM takeover though, but that was my experience with them before that.
Every episode of that show was like a fucking fever dream.
Oh my God, thank you for this. I would give you “Lemmy Gold” If I could.
It could be for contractual or for insurance reasons. We have some contracts with government agencies that require it, and our cyberinsurance also does. Even though NIST has been recommending for years to do long passphrase + MFA and no reset unless you suspect compromise.
So yeah, the reason behind this might not be just plain incompetence.
