In all honesty, we in the IT community will not escape the reality of politics. Neither does education prevent some really wild conspiracy theories(like Biden blew up NS2 or COVID vaccine is going to kill you)

US has been sanctioning NS2 building organizations for a while now. Arguing that Biden meant blowing it up, is straight up ignoring the history of actions.

It's "meh" level of quality, though. Useful for a very small subset and I would avoid it, if you're running a home server. (Cockpit's file server interface plugin is old and bad) I don't really know what you&#x

TBH - for any non-server class machine on my network, I'm fine with that. SSH should probably be running 24/7 on any server(to keep those resources allocated for maintenance access), but if it's my workstation with a monitor

I don't know where you are... but my biggest issue with the last few years, was that promotions were handed out left and right. Half of the engineering teams I worked with in the last 3 years should be demoted from being called Senior

SO is under serious threat from Reddit. Look at your Google results, that are now presenting Reddit much more prominently than a few years ago.

And the sales of those are even remotely comparable to Windows desktops or MacBooks?

This subthread of people being just anal about a comment that we should all understand the meaning of. Apple switched to ARM ISA and moved away from an open graphics abstraction layers. Those two things go hand-in-hand. ARM ISA isn't t

You're right, that they're not completely indifferent. Their strategy is "my way or highway", which is what I would consider "hostile" on desktops.

It's merit is utterly irrelevant. It's good enough, and good enough with other avenues of investment win over "the greatest thing of all time" every single time.

I was recently thinking on a way to open up my Jellyfin Media Server, so I can stream music from my personal collection. Jumpbox would easily incur a lot of traffic costs... due to all of the media being very large(many users of jellyfin su

Microsoft invested into DirecX. Valve invested in Steam Deck. Apple told game devs on Macs to GTFO, and this is the result. Did anyone else expect any other outcome?

> Gaming feels like something I am completely over at this point. Which is why releasing games for Mac users has less sense, than Windows or Linux. You're probably in the category of a casual gamer, which is served well by mobile ga

Playstation is a stable platform, where game devs get to squeeze every little bit of performance out of. It doesn't come out every year, with new features. It's very different than anything on a Mac or PC.

Didn't they deprecate OpenGL or something to that extent?

Why would Apple want that? Game devs already support their primary mobile platforms, that make them the most money. Macs are basically for work and low intensity recreation at this point. Gamers don't buy Macs, due to low customizabili

Why? Mac users are cornered into exclusively a mobile device(MacBooks) and will more than likely purchase game consoles... or even just use remote play services(I use GeForce Now) Windows users are already on Windows and Windows machines ar

Proliferation of low cost computing is the cause of this, not big players being able to mitigate this. This is not coming from "known botnet IPs", this is from random infected devices. Some aren't even permanently doing this,

I personally would rather recommend a whitelisting functionality, using a trusted third party. I wonder if SSO services can provide IPs of successfully authenticated against their services users.

Correct. Adding a feature to scrub "You're leaving the enclosed ecosystem" to the export function is not free. Complaining about "Google is evil" is free, though. It's a typical case of "we'll equate

Over the last 3+X years, not suddenly after 1-2 years of layoffs. I can bet that if you bring Google Reader up, you'll get a lot more complaining - than any "horrible Google services" topic.
