What a terrible day to have eyes and literacy…

I don’t know… A LOT of people I know got their passports over the past year or so. Many of them have zero intentions of traveling abroad.

So it could be that high… still 50% seems but plausible if people are doing what a lot of the people I know are doing

That’s exactly what I was thinking. Humans suck at remembering history when they can’t see the consequences anymore.

Ooof, I don’t use it enough to justify that price…

I’ve abused syncthing in some many ways migrating servers and giant data sets. It’s freaking amazing. Though it’s been a few years since I’ve used it. Can only guess how much better it’s gotten.

 

Saw this on a drive through. Did a double take when I realized it was a Gnome desktop!

Yeap! That’s most of the reasons why, IMO, we didn’t see the adoption of SUSE like we did with RedHat based stuff.

I’ve been a huge supporter of RH over the years. After IBM bought them I was cautious but believed that RH would continue mostly the same. Then they killed CentOS. I understood the reasons and the arguments that Stream made sense for them. I was highly annoyed and disappointed with that decision but Rocky showed up and it was okay.

This final round of fuckery really shows me that the RH we all supported is gone. They burned down nearly all the good will they built up. Locking the source behind a paywall was just the final insult as far as I’m concerned.

I don’t know how much this will hit their bottom line but I suspect it’s going to have some kind of financial impact just from the number of people like me who used CentOS/Rocky as a gateway to RHEL in prod. I suspect they know and just don’t care.

With that being said I’m looking at how they react to over the next year or so. If they’re going to be more of an asshat then I’ll start retooling for another distribution. I here nix is pretty good these days…
