He rules

The cool kids are switching to Librewolf because whatever is happening at Mozilla is increasingly concerning by the day.

Pi hole is definitely great but I’ll concede that getting that going probably qualifies as ‘going out of the way’. That said, it is worth every penny/second spent configuring.

1. Download Firefox (or other preferred gecko browser)
2. Install uBlock Origin add-on

Really going out of the way to avoid them.

Why are they always Rogue planets? Never any Cleric or Barbarian planets.

To their customers*. Not to the literally billions of people directly affected by their debacle.

A crowd strike, you could call it

It baffles me people use chrome.

Client: “How much is this disaster recovery plan going to cost me?”

Me: “A hell of a lot less than when you don’t have (valid, tested) backups and need them”

Which, given the context that planes are necessary, you continue to ignore the OP:

Having the public lose trust in the safety of flying is absolutely not something you want to happen.

And then your justification for not privatizing is cronyism. So the government contracts for air travel = bad, but the ones for your project are… good??

Your comment was really just a soap box to say air=bad, trains=good. I’m not going to argue trains are bad, but maybe make an honest argument for it.

Neither did the bird.

I’m not “ignoring your emails” and “never responding”, I’m just security conscious

I, too, have had the audacity to say WSL is useful on this community and it was also met with down votes. Purists hating and gate keeping, and then they wonder why Linux isn’t more popular.

Customer: Why is there so much latency over my tunnel from us-east to us-west?

Me: checks latency seems pretty normal, what’s the issue?

Customer: The latency is too much. Why is it not as fast as us-east-1 to us-east-2?

Me: They are near each other. Us-West is across the entire United States

Customer: Make faster

Me: This is the speed of light. And over copper it’s about 2/3 that

Customer: hmm are you sure that’s as fast as it can go?

Me: Well, unless we change the laws of physics your not going to get any better latency

OSX offers both case sensitive and case insensitive filesystems

When it stops being viable. They have no commitment to the company. They’ll suck it dry and move on to the next project.

“the cloud isn’t tech it’s a rental company” is a pretty dumb take tbh.

Like, if you’re trying to argue that AWS (or gcp, azure) services don’t provide technical solutions that aren’t available otherwise you just don’t know what you’re talking about. Is it expensive, yeah it definitely can be. But cloud is much more than server rentals at this point. Want a host that gives you bare metal? Great there are ‘rentals’ to choose from. I can see arguing SaaS hasn’t really ‘tech’, but PasS and IaaS provide technology and solutions to problems. I hate Daddy Jeff as much as the next guy but AWS is very much ‘tech’.

You say everyone hates then but honestly it’s really not true. Plenty of people are annoyed by ads, others tolerate them, sometimes people even enjoy them (see Superbowl shit or people sharing meme ads and commercials) and honestly that’s part of the problem. Ads have been a part of so many people lives for so long they can’t even imagine a world where they aren’t constantly bombarded by ads and having them privacy exploited for corporate gains.

Personally I’m vehemently opposed to ads and go out of my way to block them in every way I can, but fundamentally many people don’t see them as an issue or are too attached to the corporate teat to try voting with their wallet to suppress the problem.

cries in proprietary

You may want to consider adding nofail and x-systemd.device-timeout opinions on the mount as well if the NFS isn’t critical to the device booting, and speed up your boot process a bit.
