   I've been a sysadmin since I was 12, FreeBSD, Debian, Arch, Windows (sigh). I've been an SRE managing 1k+ mixed machines. I've done nomad, k8s, docker-compose, podman, ansible, powershell admin, firecracker, gitops... I will

   Sounds like you're bringing network tech in, which is unnecessary and costly. I suggest you considers structuring the reusable pieces as a library and then reaping the benefits of strong typing and absurdly low latency when building t

   Nixos has some of these benefits. You can do a lot with systemd and containers.

   It's probably easier to measure anti productivity than software productivity. Excessive or poorly timed meetings, scope change, poor WFH distraction management, excessive support load, etc. I'd like to think that we can assume peo

    Can you speak to why Wi-Fi in particular, is suspect? CW GSM handsets held close to the head, CB Radios, 433 garage door openers or RC cars, DECT cordless phones, microwave ovens, Bluetooth 3G/4G/5G cell signals, ...all surely sho

    Perhaps we can call this a "Considered State" system. No more haphazardly rearranging bytes on your drive. Managed OS objects, linked at boot and your home dir / config dirs under VCS. I use nixos with zfs on /home, &#x2

    Wi-Fi debuted in the late eighties, so the 1971 referenced seemed odd. I looked into it and it was part of the early research on powerful RF emissions. There were some uncomfortable images of the effects on rabbits eyes, etc. To suggest tha

    Public writable block chains seem to be a dead end due to the cost of 'proof of x' in any Sibyl safe way. Private blockchains, such as for cross company account clearances, complex asset exchanges (planes, land) may help dislodge

    Ubuntu is consumer facing. Consumers like to click on things and tend not to do anything important. I am CLI happy and like to think I do important things. Ubuntu fights me in this regard. I will never use anything other than NixOS again. A

    I recently dusted off my mid-90s CRT and with a HDMI/VGA adapter have been using it on my main system. Call it nostalgia, refresh rate, phosphor hypnosis, whatever, but it feels simpler and quieter and less intimidating than a 32"

    Is it their fault? The software tries every trick in the book (and some new ones) to steal your attention. I disagree about the creation utility from a quality perspective, lack of ergonomics while filming, bad mics, etc. But there's n

    Linux is not for consumers, it needs nothing from them. Android and chrome os (hell, even Darwin if you squint) all demonstrate that taking things away is the path to consumer happiness. I am a professional user, I don't want a lobotom
