How about a progressive tax? Doesn't seem a good idea that cancer like entities get away with overconsumption and thus indirectly repression.

How about we legalize construction of new power sources and let the market figure it out?

There was a huge nuclear deregulation bill passed on 2023(?). Hopefully we'll get some reliable power in 10 years out of that.

Trump administration seems to have tried to cancel a bunch of power sources (e.g. offshore wind).

Grab them by the balls and make sure they are never able to make a political decision with such an impact again.

AFAIK Office isn't supported on LTSC fka. LTSB.

Installed LTSB for a conservative superior. He just wanted to work, without changes. I supported that happily. Until we had to start using Office 365.

Or did they revert that restriction?

It's the same horse manure, when architectonauts and developers aren't responsible for the operation of their Goldberg-inventions. Another phrase that comes to mind is: no skin in the game.

To me "unaccountability" -- or whatever naming fits better -- needs its own circle of hell.

Maybe "moral hazard" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_hazard

That's a myth that Linux handles it better.

There a enough apps that keep old files open, but also (re)open updated files that do not fit to the old, open ones, thus have all kind of issues. (Subjectively Thunderbird has major issues with not restarting if libs it depends on get upgraded.)

I stopped answering support mails and tickets from users with long uptime with anything else than: reboot first. And it was >>80% the cause of problems. And yes, most times a logout would suffice, but with our users having >100d uptime with desktops and laptops, the occasional kernel update is done /en passant/ this way. (The impatient could kexec and have the advantage of both. Or look at the output of "need restart" or "checkrestart". But I couldn't care less in case of end user devices)

Yeah, as if we still have loose table tops, like in medieval times.

The most cringe worthy is that vaccine skeptic, who has no problem injecting comparatively unproven stuff with unknown side effects.

Well, must be the brain damage of years of drinking.

If anyone pays so much money to someone they never met, or _dependable_ know their identity, that seems like a major fail.

The whole idea that someone who couldn't legally enter the US, gets easier clearance than any tourist, or foreign academic with an opinion about the current gov that seems uncomfortable to them baffles me.

Not the first time some priorities seem out of touch with reality.

The point is that there are legit American citizens who are in on the con. They have real SSNs and an actual presence in the US. They run proxy servers out of their house to make it seem like that's where their web traffic is coming from. From the company's perspective, everything seems like a regular remote employee.

Bloomberg made a good video about this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gjnrMg9iSo

A proxy server can't fool an in-person interview. Totally bizarre how in-person interviews have fallen out of fashion, now that they're needed the most.

I actually have first hand experience with this! One person came for the on site interview, and a different and much worse dev did the remote work once hired. This was over a decade ago now.

BuT They"Re sO cHeAp!

> It cites information from the US Government that these IT workers can earn more than $300,000 a year

Doesn't sound that cheap.

Can doesn't mean does

But do the computers have age verification? /s

In real world scenarios, where file based backups fail, one needs to add at least lvm.

And only than those benchmarks would be more interesting to me.

Be specific. Why do you need LVM? What for, what do you do with it?

Secondly: are you aware that ZFS includes what LVM does on Linux, and so you don't need a separate tool for it? This makes the comparison tricky but it's important to consider.
