Indeed. Capitalism breeds this crap by focusing on competition excessively and creating an environment where it’s almost mandatory to participate. People need to be looking to exploit people at all times and that is a deflating concept for people.

People also need to go offline. The apps have been taken over by scammers and bots. It’s time to flush again. Which is also related to capitalism.

Oh yeah. No one appreciates blue sky research. We don’t know where the question will take us, which is why governments fund the research. They can take on the 0.1% chance something useful is created 20 years later.

Google is about to become AOL. 😂 The walled garden is going to get destroyed by the open web, again.

Ads already destroyed the web. Developers wanting to make web apps instead of web pages already destroyed the web. Google is trying to prop up the corpse of its dead brand by capturing people in their chat bot.

And here it is.

Small VMs, like everything else.

Cool. Podman Desktop should be easier after this. Presumably, it’s still a Linux VM driven by something written by Apple instead of qemu.

No macOS containers though. Being able to spin up macOS containers would have been nice for builds and isolating things like pkgsrc.

As a Fedora user, I would go with Fedora. 😄

OpenSuse Tumbleweed is good, but I find Yast to be kind of overkill. I’m sure it’s great when people figure it out, but there are too many options before then.

Fedora is much simpler, which is weird to say.

Specifically Catholic. It’s a great example of appropriation.

100% agree. Climate change too, but national security if nothing else.

The plan Putin and Xi have is probably to get the US mired in conflicts with Mexico and Canada, which would leave Europe isolated and more willing to deal with Russia. Russia has a lot of energy reserves, and they want to use them as leverage against Europe. Control of Ukraine energy reserves should be a top priority for Russia.

The US is sending lots of oil/ng over to Europe to make cutting off Russian oil feasible. Without US oil, Europe is going to have a hard time functioning, and they would have to start talking with the Russians.

Why WSL? Because I’d be setting up a Linux VM anyway.

Microsoft software and NinjaRMM screen sharing. Ninja and MS SQL management tools are the biggest blockers since the web versions of M365 are adequate.

Not necessarily. Rsync deltas are very efficient, and not everything supports deltas.

It may very well be the correct tool for the job.

Anyway, problem fit wasn’t part of the question.

I’m probably going to invest in some hardware to get powerful enough VMs.

I have a company issued laptop and work for a Microsoft partner.

It would be nice if they’d give me an AVD session or twelve.

The daemon tracks file state, so the transfers start quicker because rsync doesn’t have to scan the filesystem.

This ethereal concept titled “Work” is pointing a pistol towards me.

But yeah. Windows is trash. I’m going to go submit resumes and buy lottery tickets.

I’m going to have to try this. This sounds delicious.

What kind of chilis though? Serrano?

Okay cool, but post the random IOPs please.

Project 1: Install Gentoo on it. 🙂 Project 2: Keep Gentoo installed on it.

Epiphany is making headway. It’s gotten much better in the last year or so.

I can still crash it with too many tabs, JS sometimes makes it crash, and the extension experience is bad, but it’s gotten better.

It is covered by WebKit call out though.
