I'm in europe, unions are mandatory everywhere, some are good, some are not, average just do what the company wants them to, usually the 2-3% raise every year. Unions don't really work for software, high demand, low supply of peop

I know I am compensated fairly and that puts me as top earner for my current country. It is due to demand and offer for my technical skills... I switch or ask for a raise if I get a better offer, anyone can/should do that. It's no

There are projects and projects, some I got ignored as well with patch and bug info provided, others reviewed/integrated in a few days (mozilla/rust) or told I was wrong and bugs I reported were fixed another way

what do you use now then and how happy are you with that? I for one am the reverse, tried recently using windows and it just got in the way, plus felt like I was being spied on like old times under communism... Tried last year MacOS/ma

Do you have concrete experience for that? I have only 3 things I hit: - NVIDIA driver updates (or kernel updates while using nvidia) - caused black screen... I dumped nvidia... these are due to crappy nvidia. - Ubuntu deciding to remove old

I know it is important, that and exterior looks of the hardware. Still, I do not have UI issues and the polish is fine on Linux, was explaining how to get there. Problem is people expect a 300$ Linux laptop to work like a mac usually... whe

Not the original purpose of NAT, sure, but it achieves that goal much better then IPv6 Privacy extensions are a hack and still uniquely identify someone even if it changes once a day. NAT hides them all the time. If I have 100 nodes, good l

NAT hides all devices I have in my network from the world. Nobody from the outside will know who made request x from the n devices in the network. NAT is mainly privacy/obfuscation. Can you do that with a firewall? Another use case is

Appending MAC to address is a privacy nightmare and is going away with privacy extensions. (I dont want people to know what NIC i have and potentially track me by looking up who bought it). Because of that DHCP may be needed and ARP as well
