Man - MRTG... I just had flashbacks to my youth. Loved that piece of software and used it for close to a decade! Anymore Grafana backed by InfluxDB w/Telegraf is my jam for the same general problem set (TIG stack).

In the same boat on the "why haven't people moved on"... Perl use to be ubiquitous but over time it's really gone to the wayside vs. Python tooling for more complex stuff, and back to basic BASH for the simple scripting

"but more difficult" sounds pretty subjective... I can get behind the "less reliable" comment because Erlang is rock solid. Sorry to be that guy, but I can find a TON more people capable of supporting ECMA vs. Erlang and

No. Just no. It's the outcast like other folks are saying. It's just "different" - could be anything: small stature, sensitivity, socioeconomic status, race, religion, expressing that you enjoy learning, your mom sewing

It wouldn't work - you would just get arrested. I think that's part of the point - there are consequences for adults exhibiting this sort of behavior where there are arguably very few/none for children. As much as I love watc

Right? You're using a piece of adware/spyware if you're not on the LTSC/B version. Even the Enterprise copies are atrocious now. They're arguably worse than they were 10-20 years ago IMO... throwing some Linux suppo

I do believe so but I don't touch that bull. It spies on you I know that. Last enterprise copy I had I sniffed the network traffic post setup and it was a slap in the face. I also think it comes with the Windows Store too. The ONLY rea

It does but good luck getting licensing. They explicitly try to make getting the LTSB/C difficult because they know everyone would buy it if they offered a "clean" version of Windows. But - if you can swing it - LTSB/C i

I like the notion, but I don't think there's a simple "age / 2 + 7" rule that applies here as I think this sort of stuff should be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. I think it's all about personal responsibil

If we don't want a social credit system for ourselves, why would we implement one for our children? Here's why this terrifies me: I was a sensitive kid getting bullied at one point and had a horrid 2nd grade teacher. Reflecting on

To add to this - if there's a pattern of having to take part blame/ownership for people who should know better I'm going to move on to greener pastures. Some people work more carefully than others. This is absolutely a thing
