  • They forced an update that won’t run on my phone.

    • can’t run the required version
    • old version just tries to update

    So I’m almost out anyway.

    I like their chai lattes. I can’t get the same taste anywhere else, and if I try to make it it’s a “we have mcdonalds at home” result.

    So about twice a year, now, I get a fucking c$6 latte as a treat. I miss 2019 with the many locations - one 80m away in my walkable block - and a really nice barista who made the effort to smile and chat directly. Now I have none of those things and this is like dia de los muertos.










  • BSD isn’t Unix. It’s fairest to say it is a Unix. Unix was built in Murray Hill and maintained by a succession of corporations and now sits locked in a safe at a company where they will never have the clue or interest to maintain or distribute it, thanks to IBM. Everything else is just sparkling multics.

    (Source: was on the periphery, know the people who know where the bodies are)

    And it’s neat to see how well IBM killed the competition who dared to cry code-rape.

    What’s the big deal? For 20 years in the enterprise space it’s been yum upgrade -y && reboot into cron and no issues. At the day job I even had satellite (5 and that shitball 6) cronned up to do my promotion automatically (even when 6 had shit for scheduling and I had to cron-parallel-xargs a better one). All cron.

    Hell, I barely pay attention to the email reports now. It’s been that long. Okay, prod updates on Friday night only; but that’s our only nod to risk. Because even after the metastatic fatberg that is Systemd, it’s still barely reliable.

    What’s the added risk for Debian packages? Imperfect replacement? No signed manifest to compare against? What?


  • Dude. I’m sorry she’s imperfect for your particular criteria. She can still be the best for America’s evolution while not being perfect. Maybe the libel of marking someone before their trial date is just a bridge too far; but we all got it from context clues.

    I’m actually glad this is the best issue today you could come up with: the amount of hair-splitting is almost a good sign.
