Why would they hire someone so incapable in the first place?

Fair. In my experience, the fact that NFS is both pervasive and often broken, for something like a system-wide log manager you can't always assume that your root fs is reliable. Is dot-file locking a compile- or run-time option?

SQLite doesn't work reliably on NFS, which rules it out for any PXE-booted system with an NFS root.

I use MetalLB to allocate RFC1918 IPs out of a dedicated pool to LoadBalancer services. MetalLB then publishes these to my router over BGP because, you know, why not? I then have external-dns running ( https://github.com/kube

A "good and modular design" with a "strong type system" won't help you when one of your dependencies has an upgrade with a subtle bug that changes the behaviour of your system.

Meh, libinput works fine for me. I suspect it's pretty hardware-dependent. From reading around, most of the distros started deprecating synaptics because it wasn't actively being worked on, didn't work with Wayland, required

To draw an analogy to snail mail, sending an email is basically the equivalent to chucking something in the cheapest post option there is. It may be delivered in the future, it's often delivered particularly quickly but not always,

I'd argue the whole point is actually the fact that you can lease CPU/Memory/space as you need it, and capacity constraints now become simple cash constraints. You don't need to shell out millions of dollars on a special

Email is a bad tool for discussion . However, it can be a good tool for information dissemination . (There are better tools - I'd argue that sending information should be pull rather than push, but that's just my preference). So

But the point is that warnings are often not good predictors of problems. There's a good argument that "warning" on anything at all is an anti-pattern, because you're just attracting valuable attention towards something

DNS traffic is a much richer and more valuable resource than a simple list of IP sessions. Yes, of course your ISP can see who you're connecting to and sell that, but denying them (and anyone else) the ability to collect all DNS traffi

They're not doing it in secret. Use a different browser if you don't like it, or fork it. Mozilla have made a value judgement that DoH is more useful to end users than the supposed privacy loss. You're free to disagree, but n
