You upgraded from ansible to ssh. As someone forced to write yaml for ansible professionally and has used many other config management tools, I can only commend your success at escaping ansible.

Try mgmtconfig.

Isn’t that what became Zero-k?

He just went to Washington to be gargled.

That’s an option. “Here’s some rocks: go make your own computer.”

But that adds to the setup cost, and with the clean removal of good packages (sit down, Debian), testing something is easier. The same way SLSA gives us a good install, it also forces a format with a good UNinstall.

It’s just indolence.

It’s like people who put an S on the end of ‘e-mail’ to pluralize it.

‘Programme’ is mostly replaced by ‘program’.

We can still pronounce it correctly (with an O like ‘pronounce’ or ‘proclaim’) so there’s that

Anything flatpak-free? SLSA is no joke.

I thought it was “messy, generated code with little cohesion and only barely functional”, but really it’s the cohesion part.

Is flatpak the way?

Steam can be installed natively or in a Flatpak. The latter can be a little fussy every once in a while, depending on your setup, but has the advantage of somewhat better sandboxing.

CVE-2026-34078 CVE-2026-5674 CVE-2021-21261

No no, tell me how its sandboxing is even adequate.

In addition to ruining Single Source of Truth for installed state and weak validation and resource usage, it feeds you lies about sandboxes. AND YOU BELIEVED IT!

Side question: is battlenet voice chat working yet? I know it’s a hard one because blizzard apparently coded it horribly, but I was curious.

softwares

Not a word. That’s like saying “2 helps” or “5 happies”.

Go check SLSA.dev .

Yesterday I downloaded a mod manager for Valheim

• has an app issue
• blames the OS

I hope that word is “shotgun” because "get in, losers. We’re gonna be a team now "

Declarative is awesome.

Phew. Dodged a bullet just by adhering to SLSA.

Hold them accountable

Whom are you talking too, here? It’s not America who will hold them accountable; and the UN hasn’t found even the teeth to stop Israel’s very public genocide. The EU?

When the enterprise OS company I worked for in 2k1 was considering forking a Linux distro to offer as a freemium product, they evaluated enterprise Linux and Debian.

Debian lost then as its package format had weaker validation and consistency guarantees. It’d’ve been harder to support.

The packaging in both hasn’t changed much, except RH forgot how to use /etc/alternatives properly and now has some ungodly rinkydink thing supplementing it like a colo bag on the side, but the validation difference is still there.

Maybe that was why. Both are riddled with fridge art - oh hi Systemd, network manager, et al - but both are generally similar other than packaging and pipeline.

high maintenance costs of VLANs

Said no one ever, until now.

It’s already agreed to some of it, and it’s less costly to take delivery to a permanent mothball hangar or sell them off instead of paying the legal fight to reverse that deal.

The ones currently on commitment should be the last we ever purchase, though, including the uncommitted remainder of the current deal.

why would Russia randomly do these small-scale actions.

100% provocation.
