high maintenance costs of VLANs

Said no one ever, until now.

Corona has its place, man. I’ve had some excellent beachy days with corona on-hand. In the right environment that (or just a Modelo) is excellent.

I would never mix those 3 together…

I’m the idiot drinking from 4 cups in the zoom call. I’ve seriously had tea, fruit punch kool-aid, and a hazy IPA (p49 trash panda) on the desk at the same time.

I don’t mix them until they hit the stomach, but you know they’re gonna co-mingle when they get there, like seniors and freshmen and engineers drinking at the same college bar.

Nah. Lennart went home to Microsoft.

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.

This. It’s really that easy, if you take it slow. Maybe grab a beer/soda/coffee on the way in

maybe ansible

I’ve done Ansible professionally for 3 years, now. I’ve used puppet, chef/cinc, I’ve played with mgmtconfig, and I’ve built entire ecosystems out of cron+make+rpm since 2002, 6 years before ‘devops’ had a name.

Don’t use Ansible. EVERYTHING ELSE is better. Please consider any option before it. Strongly consider mgmtconfig.

our insurance would not cover the operating system if there were ever a security breach, data loss, etc

This person was lying to you.

Wonderfully succinct. Thank you for caring about strangers representing themselves best and better.

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.

You spell ReactOS so weird.

They’re gonna tap the power button anyway.

YSK flatpaks break iso27002 and score low on SLSA.

debian always seems to be forgotten outside of its server use

Nah, not even for servers. SLSA and ISO27002. Validation in the other distros is better, and that’s night-and-day for server sector.

I worked Unix in 99-06 and there’s a reason their Linux offering wasn’t debian: that validation hole.

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.

Yes. I’m doing that with a 7040mff right now.

since endeavour is very close to arch I hope I’ll find some solutions in that realm.

Smart thinking. I don’t use arch (btw) either, so I’m merely a cheerleader at this point. Yes, I’d downgrade the kernel for the sake of Science. Find a popular stable kernel, jump to that and see if it behaves better.

(That may be my bias: I only really do enterprise linux, so after 28 years since I moved from slackware I’m really risk-averse!)
