I def disagree about ansible… Because it’s impossible to write a “proper script” without making a whole lot of repetitive things, that ansible handles.

It is slow though, and agent-based configuration management, imo, is better for mandating configurations. ie, puppet, for example.

I agree with the rest, though :)

Most IT infra exists solely to justify work that is pointless work.

One if the worst IT sectors is ad tech. The entire industry rationally should not exist.

Riseup.net.

Except…

They do already. That’s info you can just buy.

No. But, lately it’s not white on christmas.

Invading that small neighbor would have been very easy, if not for an (initially) united front protecting against it, hence my point: No small nation can stand alone against a super power.

Banning VPN apps from any marketplace would literally shut down the economy. VPNs are for more than accessing porn.

There’s crazy guys, too… (Sorry if that was your point)

Or from guys who have dated crazy in the past, and now know to avoid it…

further, paradoxically, denying access to porn puts women in more danger.

That’s… Part of the goal. Women “need to know their place” and all, per the GOP.

I guarantee this will be used (or at least attempted) to silence political speech critical of local governments.

Its real target is less pron, and more “So, you think you’re maybe gay? Here’s what you can do…” or “If your family hates queer people, and you’re queer, here’s help for you:…” information.

Anything to keep “teh gays” from “converting kids to trans”.

Any corporation not based in Florida can safely ignore Florida laws. This is just PH making a statement, like they have been in other states.

Yeah, China, Russia, and the US are world super powers… the three largest standing militaries and all are nuke capable.

Funny enough, I loved that app, and use it for news rather than Google news

Almost no country can stand alone against a super power… that’s why all the super powers use mutual defense treaties for geopolitical ends.

Do you recall what happened the last time we tried appeasement for a fascist, right?

He marched right over Europe, and kicked off the holocaust…

Without going into the weeds and all, given they all are in the same project, regardless…

You said “a gui for managing systemd”, so which part? Boot, udev, and journal? All three are required and not optional for systemd the OS infrastructure layer suite (or whatever it’s called these days), so minimally, assume that?

If so, what kind of sane gui could manage those three very disparate things?

Those are all things systemd manages… as well as logs, udev, etc etc.

What kind of gui too could you even imagine would sanely present all of that?

My point is there is no way to sanely create a GUI for something has it’s tendrils in… Everything. In fact, there’s no sane way to do any sort of UI for such a beast.
