An unfortunate encounter really, his face met a few fists and his stomach a few boots. And then he unfortunately found himself in the way of a bullet. Just terrible luck all around.

- Comment on Hashicorp signs agreement to be acquired by IBM 2 weeks ago:
RedHat and Hashicorp under IBM. Hmm, that doesn’t bode well for the future.
- Comment on Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone 2 weeks ago:
That’s pretty much my point, 99% of computers sold are sold with Windows on it and the leftover percent is 99% Apple and maybe 1% Linux.
And that’s mostly because no one did anything when Microsoft licensed their crap to big OEM.If any given computer sold was Linux (or any other free OS to be fair) by default and Windows as a paid option, it would change the market massively I believe. It would take time obviously but I’m convinced it would work in the long run.
- Comment on Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone 2 weeks ago:
The choice is hard to make when Microsoft’s garbage has been shoved down your throat for decades, it’s the default pretty much everywhere and the only viable alternative, for 99% of the population, is Apple.
Governments have been way too lenient and passive on that aspect for far too long
- Comment on But how would they be able to live on that? 3 weeks ago:
Obviously they pay it back, but the assets used as collateral usually grow faster than the interests they have to pay back. Which is pretty much free money.

Oh god, the chaffing !

Mind blowing gift!
- Comment on But how would they be able to live on that? 3 weeks ago:
We all accept it because these people and their friends own most of the media, so it’s easy for them to make us turn a blind eye to it.
That and they also own enough representatives that there is barely any wiggle room to get out of this mess. - Comment on But how would they be able to live on that? 3 weeks ago:
That’s only because they let him do it, in a less corrupt country his ass would be in jail already.
- Comment on But how would they be able to live on that? 3 weeks ago:
Pretty much yeah. It’s virtually unlimited money.
- Comment on But how would they be able to live on that? 3 weeks ago:
But it’s not real money in their bank accounts! They can barely go by as is!
- Comment on What's inside the London Tower Bridge? 3 weeks ago:
Stairs on one side, an elevator on the other and a museum dedicated to the bridge. The two towers are linked by the decks and they both have glass floors. It’s a pretty cool sight to do in London.
- Comment on Proposed $4bn pumped hydro project could power a third of Sydney’s households by 2031 3 weeks ago:
Dams are not great but they’re definitely better than natural gas, coal, diesel, biomass or other burning garbage, I guess…
- Comment on Solar is beginning to sunset natural gas use in Texas 4 weeks ago:
Wait until the next eclipse and watch those hippies complain that their solar panels don’t work no more!
- Comment on Still wondering why people from Alaska didn't post about the eclipse 4 weeks ago:
The eclipse but white
- Comment on Investigation launched after Boeing engine cover falls off during takeoff 4 weeks ago:
Well I know, but the last 737-800 was made 7 years ago. So it’s, at the very least 7 years old.
- Comment on Investigation launched after Boeing engine cover falls off during takeoff 4 weeks ago:
Even if in this case it’s not Boeing’s fault, the ill publicity is well deserved for sure
- Comment on Investigation launched after Boeing engine cover falls off during takeoff 4 weeks ago:
Smells a lot like maintenance failure from the airline. It’s an older plane, like at least 7 years old.
- Comment on German state decides to move away from Microsoft to Linux and LibreOffice 4 weeks ago:
Active Directory is a lot more than just an LDAP though. You have GPOs, and Kerberos built-in. It can do Linux and Unix authentication too and some more. Personally it’s one of the few Microsoft products I have a lot of respect for.

There is no temporary solution in IT. Do it once and do it well.

Hexbear user, pretty standard ideas over there
- Comment on After 114 days of change, Broadcom CEO acknowledges VMware-related “unease” 1 month ago:
Well that was my point, moving to the cloud requires drastic changes in the way your infra works. You cannot have full fledged VMs running at 10% of capacity 95% of the time like you do on prem. You need to be able to scale up and down on a whim with containers/micro services/whatever you call it. I’ve worked with a lot of companies that never understood that and bitterly regretted moving to the cloud.
- Comment on After 114 days of change, Broadcom CEO acknowledges VMware-related “unease” 1 month ago:
A panicky move to the cloud might be extremely expensive too. Especially if you don’t have cloud ready applications (old on prem apps, full fledged VMs, etc. )
- Comment on After 114 days of change, Broadcom CEO acknowledges VMware-related “unease” 1 month ago:
It is the industry standard now, it never had to be but they all got greedy and Adobe kickstarted the slide
- Comment on How to auto-reboot if CPU load too high? 1 month ago:
Just so you know, the load avg is not actually the CPU. It’s an index of a bunch of metrics crammed together (network load, disk I/o, CPU avg, etc.). A good rule of thumb is to have your load avg value under the number of cores your CPU has. If your load avg is twice the number of your CPU cores it means that your machine is overloaded by 100%.
To answer your question, you can probably run a script that fetches your 5 min load avg and triggers a reboot if it’s higher than a certain value. You can run it on a regular basis with a systemd timer or a cron job.

That’s the danger of propaganda, only thinking it happens to others or in autocratic countries. No one is immune…

It’s an article from the NY times that’s just trying to pit us against each other. NY Times contains a lot of propaganda
