I suspect you haven’t worked with governments before.

Just because something is technically possible, it’s no guarantee that it will be the chosen mechanism for something. More likely the contract will be awarded to either the lowest possible bidder, or to a friend of a friend. Cronyism is depressingly common at all levels.

Good article which explains itself clearly. And on the face of it, extremely valid.

I find it convenient to do so to follow channels.

Isn’t there already a website that shows cum faces?

Because it triggers the tribal instinct, innit.

“I use A, so A must be better than B. Otherwise I’m wrong, and I don’t like that.”

The reality, of course, is that there is no “Best distro” for all use cases, and personal choice is absolutely a qualifier in defining those use cases. If your personal requirement is for a neon pink desktop and rather aged theming aimed at little girls, then you’ve absolutely chosen “The best distro” for you and don’t let anyone tell you differently.

Either you’re trolling - in which case, sod off back to Reddit - or you have a woeful misunderstanding of how Linux user permissions work.

Please explain how someone might “simply change” someone else’s .bashrc without either already having access to that user account, or root access on the whole machine?

Nah, changing email address is the hardest of services. Gmail has been my main address for about 15 years. Every single online account I have uses it, and that’s in the high hundreds. Maybe if you’d used your own domain with gmail when you started you could hop around some, but not so many people do that.

Don’t think it’s generational. I’ve had a gmail account for about 15 years, and use youtube a lot, and I’m in my 50s. I watch a lot of repair, will it start, restoration and motorbike videos - there’s some amazing content on there, far better than anything available on my tv. And as an educational tool - need to repair something in your home, or change the brakes on your car? Within seconds you have multiple instructional videos of real people actually showing you how to do that exact thing - the world’s never known such a thing.

Linux wasn’t /techically/ specified…

Same.

The anti-adblock warnings only lasted a few days for me too, not seen them for a couple of weeks now.

Yeah - that’s not going to be possible.

Glad we (UK) are not the only country with politicians who make dramatic statements about online policies in the hope of gaining notoriety, without knowing what the merry fuck is involved or even if it’s technically possible.

One problem is… when you want to allow a blocked domain. It can be time consuming and confusing trying to track down which one of those things is actually stopping you.

the sales person at GitLab ghosted me on 3 consecutive calls that we set up to discuss our needs).

I’m guessing they looked at your company and decided you weren’t worth enough to them.

We found Gitlab’s pricing to be, frankly, ridiculous for the number of seats we have. Shame, the product is nice, just the sales team and pricing structure blows goats.

Sounds pretty similar to what I do now - but never needed the -x. Guess that might be quicker when you’re nested somewhere there is a bunch of nfs/smb stuff mounted in.

Suse forked Redhat’s Spacewalk just before it turned into Foreman + Katello.

Then worked an absolute crapload on it to turn it into a modern orchestrator. Part of that was to adopt salt as the agent interface, gradually getting rid of the creaking EL traditional client.

To say “it just runs salt” is to rather miss all the other stuff Uyuni does. Full repo and patch management, remote control, config management, builds, ansible playbook support, salt support, and just about everything else you need to manage hundreds of machines. Oh, and it does that for Rocky, RHEL, Alma, Suse, Ubuntu, Debian and probably a bunch more too, by now. Has a very rich webui, a full API and you can do a bunch more from the cli as well. And if your estate gets too big to manage with one machine, there are proxy agents, as many as you want. I only run a couple of hundred vms through it, but there are estates running thousands.

And it’s free and foss.

Honestly, it’s pretty awesome and I’m amazed it’s not more widely known.

Really unpopular opinion: Windows.

No difference to Google then

Yes, and I despair only at this steaming pile of trigger bait having got so many upvotes. I expected some degree of critical thinking on Lemmy, not the same sort of knee-jerk conspiracy bullshit that abounds on Reddit and Twitter. Silly me.

Fair enough!

It’s just worked out of the box for me - and TIL it actually existed two years ago, I hadn’t heard of it until about six months ago.

But yes - it’s great to have choices and pihole deserves some extra credit for blazing the trail in this area.
