It provides a safety net by pooling the resources of the community to support the less fortunate. This prevents people from having to sacrifice their long term goals because their short term needs may not be otherwise met.

Also in contrast to capitalism that treats society as a zero sum game (“I can’t get ahead unless I take something from someone else”) socialism is a benefit multiplier (“I’m part of the community. By making the life of everyone in the community better I’m also improving my own life”).

They are really good at providing examples for why civilized society needs socialism.

Consistency with their previous default desktop environment, Unity.

Or companies do hire security, but the security team is incompetent and unable/unwilling to adapt to new challenges. Then it devolves into security theater, until either someone new comes who cleans house or a breach happens.

Arch: I need reproducible setups. Also bleeding edge is not for me.

I have to give credit to their documentation though!

so what are the reasons why it’s a bad daily driver?

Don’t need to go any further than “default user is root.”

That’s impossible, we know Anakin is Luke’s dad and Obi-Wan told Luke that Vader killed him.

I don’t recall Reddit having unique content - what I do remember however was that it had aggregated content. It filled the role of Slashdot, Fark, and other sites, and it had a comment threading system that was far more usable. The memes came after.

That’s s good trick.

Legally it is quite clear. Taking a description of a closed source program and writing a new one is ok in most cases (unless that description is API docs - see Cisco vs Arista). Taking a look at closed source software and then implementing your own version is poison as far as OSS goes. OP implemented the first version, so that’s already a problem. They may get away is they describe what the program does to someone else and let them implement it, but OP would not be able to touch the source code

Take a machine with Linux preinstalled. Will it run Linux without problems? Yeah, of course.

Take a machine with Windows preinstalled. Will it run Linux without problems? Check the list.

The CIS benchmarks for Linux are a good start. There are some off the shelf tools that let you run those, notably linux-bench. Another tool in a similar fashion is lynis. You can also use eBPF tools like callander to examine your workload behaviour and help tighten your seccomp policies.

Once you’ve established a baseline for your system, you’ll next want to harden your environment. This means network scans, OWASP, etc. As far as off the shelf tools go, OpenVAS is quite popular even in Enterprise environments.

Finally there’s the continuous security tasks. Continuous package updates, runtime security, log analysis, etc. There are some free tools that cover part of this like Security Onion, but if the price is right a SaaS tool can save you a lot of time.

It relates to “real” (physical, tangible, immovable or inseparable) property pertaining to land. In other words land plus buildings and resources attached to it. It contrasts with personal property and intellectual property.

data centers

recharge while the computer is off

I don’t know of many data centers that don’t run their servers 24/7

There’s also the fact that credit rating agencies in North America have hardly any supervision and are prone to make mistakes because they take correlated data by face value.

Configure port forwarding for the VM.

Stör is German for sturgeon. And it happens to sound like a lot of other words. Stör Wars, stört your engines, etc. The admins let it run for a while and then put a ban on Stör memes, so everything quieted down. Until this week, when c/risa got the Morn/Gorn/Rom bug.

Literally copied and pasted that from the article.

You can’t run vmalert without flags

Running grep without parameters is also pretty fucking useless.

500 words in to the over 3,000 word dump, I gave up.

Claims to have a Unix background, doesn’t RTFM.

Nobody really uses Kubernetes for day-to-day work, and it shows. Where UNIX concepts like files and pipes exist from OS internals up to interaction by actual people, cloud-native tooling feels like it’s meant for bureaucrats in well-paid jobs.

Translation: Author does not understand APIs.

Want an asynchronous, hierarchical, recursive, key-value database? With metadata like modified times and access control built-in? Sounds pretty fancy! Files and directories.

Ok. Now give me high availability, atomic writes to sets of keys, caching, access control…

I’m ashamed enough that I can’t really apply to these jobs

This reads as “I applied to the jobs and got rejected. There’s nothing wrong with me, so the jobs must be broken”.
