  • Yeah the company I have worked for for a long time is growing, this year it has become apparent that some upper dudes have no clue what actually happens and just give direction they dreamed up that they think is how things work. The next level down is like just ignore that, that’s not how we get things done.

    I get that the upper level is supposed to provide long term stragegy,(and some are brilliant minds) but when executive decisions are getting made when they don’t want to hear about the actual detail, there are poor choices made in an arrogant sort of way, and everyone just does an off camera face palm





  • I have openSUSE on my main machine, with SELinux. They are more security focused by default than some other distros.

    Firewall on by default, SELinux enforcing by default, sudo needs root password-not just passwordless or same user password like some distros. There’s a YAST GUI hardening App so you can see what passes best security practise and what needs attention. Zypper has various patch commands so you see a list of what patches are available, their critical/recommended status, and weather they are installed or unneeded for your setup. Also ability to apply patches by CVE numbers.

    SELinux can be frustrating initially, until you get used to how it works. I.e. I setup shared network folders but couldn’t see data in some folders, it was because copying files into the folder to be served doesn’t automatically give access over the share, there needs to be SEL policy assigned to the files which you establish the policy and then can apply to all files in the folder.



  • You can have more than one law being established at once.

    There has been systematic reduction in the humanities/philosophy, arts, literature etc. In countries. The affect it has is a society focused on work and compliance with status quo. (The USA is actively destroying their own system purposly)

    A law ending cruelty should be celebrated as a glimmer of hope that we as a society are still capably of thinking at a higher level, that we are still questioning life, and meanings around it. If we cease to do those things we will be a dead automata society that lives only to work.






  • If you haven’t been exposed to it Windows built a WSL feature you can add in using feature add tool. WSL2 is basically now a VM. You the install the Linux distro of your choosing via a few commands.The W11 version uses an internal remote desktop protocol so you can run graphical Linux apps on Windows. (W10 you can with some monkeying around).

    Basically many MS devs wanted to access Linux without leaving their Windows environment, plus Microsoft has various Linux systems in use these days, so made sense for them to be able to work directly in it at times.
