I know, but IF we mandate openness from the start with a public development process this could not exists or the company does not respect the law, if we do not, we will never get much usable things, "open source enterprise" and &q

Adding elements to stuff we assume UNIVERSALLY is universally wrong because we do not assume them at similar level. For instance here in EU most table salt is with added iodine, witch in general is good IF you do not live near the sea, but

The real main point is: how much control users of commercial routers could have with a reasonable effort (I mean, I know most are GNU/Linux machines, where the OEM sometimes respect the GPL providing the sources but there is no easy cu

Well, zero-config generally means the tool is "modern", meaning it's defaults are current with the current tech/prefs of the most. Does not mean anything else. The issue here is that people tend to customize so they do n

The biggest limitation IMO it's that they are HPC-centric, not caring the desktop, which is the was to allow more people discovering a distro. Also the lack of a proper zfs and lvm/mdraid/luks support it's a big showstop

NixOS IME have few issues: - a language friendly as Haskell, so while fit for purpose definitively it's not well digested by most, also by various longtime NixOS users; - an unclear direction, there are countless of "side projects

Well, I'm skeptic as I'm skeptic about 3k$ office chairs. Skeptic about the price, because well, research does have a price, but once you have profited to cover research fees you can't keep selling a not-anymore-new stuff at

Well, materials seems to be very common, and indeed even if they are precious alloys to be lighter it's still a very high price. Research have to be payed of course, but again you can sell a product, no more than that. I've heard

Oh reading here in EU it's not an issue, UNDERSTANDING what one read it is. Most read fiction books and alike, but do not understand what they read. Let's say you give Phaedrus, the Fox and the Grapes novel and ask about what&#x27

It's not harsh, it's mere logic. We have ALWAYS migrated, following our current needs. Back then certain areas, when our ancestors move there, have reasons to be chosen for a settlement, now tech, climate, civilization change, so

To avoid bitrot the rule is simply having more replicas on different iron. The chance to get ALL broken is obviously low. The big issue is backing up keys or people who memorize passphrases, because for that there is no pure-tech solution.

Maybe that's one of the reason for the current sorry state of IT. I'm serious, it's not a critic to you, but the current model produce really bad IT, as we see everywhere and we are heading to a not-that-different dot-com bub

That's why we are here: people do not react for tiny annoyances/changes, so a step at a time they got TFU without realizing. Since we are in the information era hopefully a significant cohort of people have realized that and react
