A nice leather one. ☺️

Chromexcel 8 is particularly nice.

I used to work at a company where this was in the KB. 😐

Zsh is but more for interactivity. The extended file globbing, extended auto completion, and loadable modules are the main reasons I like it. The features really shine when used with a configuration framework like ohmyzsh.

Supposedly, Zsh has a more comprehensive shell scripting syntax, but that’s not a plus since I don’t want to write shell scripts.

There are dumber ideas.

Invading Mexico or Columbia ranks higher. You know countries with people who have experience fighting guerrilla wars and have existing relationships with arms dealers.

Invading China probably takes top spot though. Don’t start land wars in Asia, especially with a peer state who has most of the world’s manufacturing capacity.

If there’s one silver lining I wonder if China became more reluctant about Taiwan seeing how thins can go

Naw. Getting the US involved in several different conflicts is a great way to sideline the US when it comes to Taiwan. It benefits China and Russia if the US is distracted, spread thin, and fighting with allies.

The silver lining is it out would cause the collapse of the US economy making it easier for other countries to fill the void.

Yes. This is it.

One of the great things about Web3 and AI, for corps, is forcing decentralized systems into centralized platforms, limiting hosting access to people who have money, and limiting competition to companies which have the capital to invest in mitigations, or the money to pay for exceptions.

Having a couple of dogs.

Walmooserus? Walmoose?

Exactly. I’ve been up for 27 hours, but I finally have a booting Gentoo install now. 😃

Gentoo installs are not that bad these days. However, back in 2005, it would take, like, a day or so to compile the kernel on my old Pentium M Thinkpad. I would run through the install, start compiling the kernel, and go to sleep/work/whatever. I would check on it periodically to see if anything went wrong, and eventually it would get to the point where I could reboot and find out I messed something up and had to start over. That was like a week, and then I installed Ubuntu. 😂

It’s 2026, we can do whatever we want.

It’s a casserole with crust.

Exactly, it’s a stick to beat people with. Just like the lack of social safety nets. The capitalists need to coerce people to work for them.

People would do the work anyway, but they would put up with less crap with proper social programs, which is the problem.

FreeIPA covers most scenarios. Kerberos, Dynamic DNS/DNS, LDAP.

GPO equivalency would need some config management tool. Ansible is what RH would suggest, but something with an agent would probably be better.

It’s probably easier when people are interested in the job, or think they know what the job is.

I have a friend who is an artist, and they started telling people they worked in tech so the conversation would die. 😆

Bombs from Raytheon are environmentally friendly. Making war environmentally friendly is what Raytheon is all about. Raytheon a green company! 👍🏽

Is there a credit I’m missing?

The most stable system is one that is out of support. No updates == No breakage! 😄

I wasn’t clear and that seems to have cause some confusion. I was talking about the Linux kernel itself, and only the Linux kernel.

There are two sides to the Linux kernel: internal exposed to drivers and such, external syscalls exposed to the public. That’s what I was talking about.

All bets are off with 3rd party software. That’s just a general problem in software development. It’s not specific to Linux, and it’s why vendoring libraries is recommended.

This is why all the 3rd party software is frozen at a point-in-time with fixes backported in distros like Debian or RHEL. It fixes the problems of devs being mercurial. The distro is the SDK. It creates a stable base, and it works rather well.

Unfortunately, most software relies on libc and a compiler. Both of which can be problems, and both of which are external to the Linux kernel. There’s not much which relies on only kernel syscalls.

Basically. Out-of-tree drivers are annoying without an LTS kernel.

There are also out-of-tree drivers which don’t get mainlined for one reason or another even though they are FOSS. OpenZFS has this problem, and now so does bcachefs.
