• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Flow chart for choosing a Linux distribution⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  “new to Linux” is not accurate.

  I’ve been using Linux since kernel 1.2.13. I chose a “noob friendly” desktop OS because the last time I used a gui on Linux was Xfree86 in 1995ish with the modeline hell; even while helping build, support, defend and maintain AT&T Unix and enterprise Linux, we were all back to w98se because of the non-fuckery GUI experience.

  With w10 dying, I finally needed to kill win7 at home, and I’m back with the “noobie” Linux version.

  Point is, I’m no noob. I’ve been on Linux enough that when I went back to a GUI after 30 years, I just wanted a non-fuckery (and SLSA-observant) GUI to work with. Because life’s too fucking hairy to fuck with the GUI and other ancillary shit, some days.

  I’m non-container - too much time in security - but that’s a wicked workflow. Well done.

  It’s amazing the risk profile of that.

  SNMP.

  The old engine was nagios. The new engine will be telegraf -> mqtt -> brokerfest -> timescale -> Prometheus.

  I guess. Not sure yet. The brokerfest is a series of broker pubsub between sites to both split out data from the stream for off-site CC, or pull it’s own subscriptions in. Data could go host <- telegraf -> broker -> remote broker -> remote timescale -> remote Prometheus

  Nope. Software doesn’t get an ‘a’ in front of it; it’s like saying ‘a happy’.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pumping out new Fallout and Elder Scrolls games faster is reportedly the plan at Xbox, as the spectre of potential corporate rejigging looms⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s people. It’s always going to boil down to not enough creatives making the things in parallel so that the story can be boarded and molded and coded and tested and weighted and released faster.

  People will say “it just needs better organization” and they don’t realize it probably has too much organization - stand-ups and fragile sprints and let’s nights and go-team chants and reorgs and TPS reports - as it is.

  It’s always more good people they lack.

  We already have underwater data centers. In fact, we already have mobile underwater datacenters. America has the most of them.

  We call them submarines.
