I def disagree about ansible… Because it’s impossible to write a “proper script” without making a whole lot of repetitive things, that ansible handles.

It is slow though, and agent-based configuration management, imo, is better for mandating configurations. ie, puppet, for example.

I agree with the rest, though :)

Most IT infra exists solely to justify work that is pointless work.

One if the worst IT sectors is ad tech. The entire industry rationally should not exist.

Except…

They do already. That’s info you can just buy.

No. But, lately it’s not white on christmas.

Banning VPN apps from any marketplace would literally shut down the economy. VPNs are for more than accessing porn.

There’s crazy guys, too… (Sorry if that was your point)

Or from guys who have dated crazy in the past, and now know to avoid it…

further, paradoxically, denying access to porn puts women in more danger.

That’s… Part of the goal. Women “need to know their place” and all, per the GOP.

I guarantee this will be used (or at least attempted) to silence political speech critical of local governments.

Its real target is less pron, and more “So, you think you’re maybe gay? Here’s what you can do…” or “If your family hates queer people, and you’re queer, here’s help for you:…” information.

Anything to keep “teh gays” from “converting kids to trans”.

Any corporation not based in Florida can safely ignore Florida laws. This is just PH making a statement, like they have been in other states.

but did have pre-arranged commitments by NASA to purchase several operational flights once specific capabilities were demonstrated.”

You understand that’s a form of extended credit, right?

Which had the R&D cost built in.

You mean the NASA that’s known for budget overruns?

Yes, because with NASA, safety is first. Not so much with SpaceX, where they can grab a PS4 controller, and call it the “Flight control subsystem”.

Do you think astrophysicists is the science of spaceflight? Well, it shows you have no idea what you’re talking about.

Yes, the physics of how objects move in space, relational to other objects, is basically the cornerstone of space flight. Let me guess? You think to travel somewhere, you just point in the direction, and turn on “thrust to 100%” huh? And you believe that 60 seconds is 60 seconds to a remote observer regardless of location in a gravity well, and velocity?

All of that was paid for my tax dollars, and costs far more than what NASA would have paid to do it.

Do you think SpaceX operates an R&D division of astrophysicists to figure out how space travel even works?

Yeah, China, Russia, and the US are world super powers… the three largest standing militaries and all are nuke capable.

Almost no country can stand alone against a super power… that’s why all the super powers use mutual defense treaties for geopolitical ends.

Do you recall what happened the last time we tried appeasement for a fascist, right?

He marched right over Europe, and kicked off the holocaust…

I never claimed to support genocide. I claimed that it is better to vote for the better option of the two

I voted for Harris too.

However, none of that discounts that she was pro-genocide, just like Trump. And it’s hardly reasonable to ask families of people your genociding to vote for you.

At what level of genocide do you say “I can’t support this”?

Tell the families who are dead and asked to vote FOR genocide that they lack nuance when they refuse to support either of the people who want their people genocide.

At what point does genocide cross the line for you?

Without going into the weeds and all, given they all are in the same project, regardless…

You said “a gui for managing systemd”, so which part? Boot, udev, and journal? All three are required and not optional for systemd the OS infrastructure layer suite (or whatever it’s called these days), so minimally, assume that?

If so, what kind of sane gui could manage those three very disparate things?
