I’ll 3rd mumble. Been hosting for over a decade.

No tracking, no ads, no bloat… This does it’s one thing and does it very well.

Or at least he actually applied a real warranty then. It shouldn’t have taken people telling him that was a terrible idea for him to do that. But good to hear that people that buy at least got a real warranty.

He’s an immature man-child.

He does not handle being told he’s wrong very well. Granted, the people he surround himself with are no different. LTT was promoting take science products (aka scams) and when got called out on it by an actual scientist, lashed out.

The warranty for his (I think it was a) backpack, was trust me bro.

Until it was constantly complained about in comment sections, he would “joke” (as the then CEO) of firing people.

It’s saddening to me how many times I’ve actually come across this in production.

Just because the code works doesn’t mean it should ship.

Did Lemmy just compare using a computer to domestic abuse… really…

That’s some out of touch bullshit. These are not comparable on any level. I get this is a meme section for Linux, but it’s some out of touch bullshit.

What’s a way to create a local repo mirror?

That excuse won’t stop them from being fired. Just because you can does not mean you should.

My first homelab server is running unRAID. No real complaints from me. It’s been running for years no issues other than the crap hardware it runs on (i7-3770, 32GB RAM). I have some file shares, docker, and some VMs. The UI makes it really easy to do stuff, especially if you don’t want to have to research and manage everything.

I know a single person in a nearly 2 decade career. But I’ve seen this stereotype posted repeatedly. I think it’s just niche, loud, sections of the internet wearing blinders, being in echo chambers, and wishful/fantasizing thinking.

Times change. You used to not be able to run Linux in Windows, but you can do that too.

Viscose is absolutely fine.

Most of these comments can be reduced to either

1. I use CLI by the way…

2. Hating on vscode because it’s Microsoft product and for no other reason.

A Gitlab/GitHub account is free. Vscode absolutely lets you type git commands if you prefer that, The GUI only provides access to the most common actions you will do. And I could be wrong on this, but I feel like the discard button does prompt the user that the files will be permanently deleted and you have to click okay. But maybe that only applies to tracked files, not sure off the top of my head.

That’s the one.

This is way too real. Company I work for has 100% layed people off, pulled access, and until they call in saying ‘something’s wrong’ there’s no warning. I’ve seen entire departments get gutted, only to see all of those jobs outsourced to WiPro.

I personally prefer Azure over AWS.

And they use arch btw

I personally agree. I think it’s being somewhat overhyped. If step one is physical access to get things rolling… like for sure some machines are in more public areas than others. But for me, someone would have to break into my house first, then access my machine, just to run exploits later. The exploit is pretty massive, but I think needs to be tempered with “first they need physical access”. Because physically controlling machines has always been number 1 for security.

There’s a bunch of game studios that think they need to use ring zero to prevent cheaters. And basically the user is just told ‘trust me bro’ that they’re not going to mess up your system.

Riot games just recently added it I believe.

I personally refuse to play any game that is ring zero. And this big outage is a clear example as to why it’s a bad idea to give random devs unlimited access to your machine.

I’ve seen RHEL completely crap itself due to a 3rd party update. Wasn’t that long ago fairly certain it was a McAfee update that took down a bunch of our Linux boxes. It happens.

I firmly disagree. Apple will say one thing but do another. But it looks like their PR dept is doing good work.

Open Mainframe?
