VM’s I still

So each VM has their own iStill? That’s a new $2ooo gadget from apple?

Not sure I’m parsing the apostrophe correctly. They’re still not for pluralization EVER, right?

Careful. The yaml cult will come after you in a long and formless column, and only self destruct when one of them is a step too far to the left.

Oh God. Please, use anything but Ansible.

The “hmm, america seems to be lingering in late-stage and my friends want a collapse before bedtime so…” crowd?

Spy ON.

Lenovo: you’re okay with sharing secrets with China.

Network Operations Field Tech. They climb the ladders and debug the cameras. Absolutely toughbook.

I knew without looking it was more of Lennart’s cancer.

This is called False Equivalency.

What’s the percentage chance someone has misunderstood the difference between causation and correlation?

“How can we increase suffering for people we’ve hated and controlled and starved for 90 years?” – almost no one

File-by-file integrity check against signed checksums upstream to trivially confirm validity of deployment.

But that’s probably not interesting.

I used a linux desktop in 1995 or so. Never since. Even when I was working with the company building unix and linux - to be clear, building and selling AT&T Unix and a Linux distro - our standard kit was windows. It was less hassle as winamp, vanDyke and Mozilla ran better as-is.

I haven’t used a linux desktop in 30 years of linux. Maybe this year?

Ohai, let’s load our own individual copy of everything separately. Since - we hope - it’s all bult from pristine sources and unlikely to match versions, all that static code load isn’t shared with anything else.

It’s gonna load slower, take up buckets of space, and not care whether it’s some crusty old thing with sploits aplenty.

I miss when we had mentors to remind us not only How to be better, but also Why. My mentor was like if obi-wan was born in Dublin. His sarcasm cut deep if you could parse what he was saying.

Quick reminder: because flatpak hides your installation state from the system, part of flatpaks could be wildly out of date or toxic releases and your system will.not.care nor even show you anything about it.

Enterprise tools - or normal stuff that acts like them - that check remotely what you have installed and let you know you’re potentially out of date (like tenable but not junk) will not learn anything about flatpak content.

Good luck. Every good thing about enterprise packaging is thrown out the window. Flatpaks are toxic.

ALL of them? Not at once. Usually.

I saw this episode of Geraldo.

Receipts?

Also, try not to take my words out of context.

Clarify the part where you said it’s like when you were back in college.

The hard part here is that while you get a chance to restate your point, readers may already expect this one to sound belittling and you’ll have to try harder so this one also doesn’t sound like you’re calling people naive.

I see from the github ticket you need 3.10 .

There’s an EPEL clone, apparently, that bundles a python3.10 package.

MAYBE this is your process:

yum* install dnf-plugins-core
yum config-manager --add-repo=https://pkgs.dyn.su/el9/base/x86_64/
yum install python3.10

Then use it like /usr/bin/python3.10 . Remove it and the repo after.

*I avoid using DidNotFinish(dnf) even though I know it’s an alias.
