per se

I respect your opinion I just think it’s a little naive.

Under isos 27002, 90003, 25000, and 9001, and their requirements for software pedigree and sustainability, it’s just best-practice.

Is it ironic that you’re calling best-practice “naive”?

Where’s the Bazel people at?

CI compatible to GitHub actions

Ugh. More yaml?

It’s still yaml shit though.

English is defined by popularity, not managed by rules. So, English is ruled by whatever the mob wants, just like ignorant racism in early 1900s America: mob rule.

In this case, the largest group of English speakers is in India. That accent is a little too Mumbai for me, young man: get it back to Received Delhi Standard by next review or you’re fired.

That’d be skookum.

And that’s not a word.

Compared to the series of absolute winner advisors the Cheeto has? Yeah. Go with that, buddy ;-)

Based is fetch.

Journalctl | grep -C 10 'foo' was useful for me when I needed to troubleshoot some fstab mount fuckery on boot.

Ha! Remember back when there was no fstab fuckery? Good times. But you have a massive init blob slowly eating other services and replacing them with shitty replicants like this embarrassment (ohai root NFS) and all of us Unix people are chuckling in our reduced-fuckery ‘hell’.

Packer builds the terraformable/openTofuable templates to launch into the hypervisor where chef (eventually mgmtConfig) will manage them from there until they die.

All that is launched by git. Fire and forget. Updates are cronned.

There are no containers. Don’t got time to fuck about. If Systemd wasn’t an absolute embarrassment I’d not worry about updates even as much as I do, which isn’t much aside from the aforementioned cancer.

regularly use windows because we love modding the crap out of all of our favorite games and that’s just not feasible on Linux

Linux isn’t a game.

Policy is not decided by logic and sense, my dude. Sorry you have the same wonks dictating that as I do.

Whatever gets attention, I guess. See? We’re talking about it now.

even though my work laptop is Windows, I do most of my real work connected to a Linux server/IDE.

This has been me for my entire pro career. There we are, working to maintain at&t Unix, but it’s all (then) vandyke, winamp, Mozilla4. Here I am now, at work, corp win11, putty, radiogarden, fucking outlook/teams and all its dreck.

But look at bazzite and Nobara: if we can avoid the snaps/appimages/flatpaks in addition to the venvs and npm and other toxic cult cargo sploit vectors, we have a strong platform with still just enough windows access for fucking teams and the rest of the redmond-based data sovereignty threats.

now looking to ban vpns

I hope Canada is smart enough to realize how the bulk of knowledge work in their own government is done. Hint: things are gonna suck soon.

If they kill oracle, will that kill the last Unix after IBM stole the parent OS of Solaris and put it into Novell’s oubliette to reduce competition?

You’ve barely worked yourself into a lather.

Amateurs who can’t be trusted with a glock 43 maybe shouldn’t have a glock 19.

The civilian operations

should be very small. Hunters and gun-clutchers.
