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.

Russia doesn’t pay those guys; just like it doesn’t pay the Alberta hillbillies it lies to about separation and ‘RoC’ and other conservative slop.

It pays the bot farms.

People who are orphans generally don’t understand the experience of abusive parents.

People with abusive parents generally don’t understand the experience of being an orphan.

People with their own problems generally don’t understand the experience of other people’s situations as a mere observer, and cannot properly evaluate the two comparatively.

Aw hell no.

Sovereign governments collect taxes to destroy money, not to fund things. They can fund things by creating money from thin air; the taxes are to remove money from circulation and control inflation.

What the hell are you even talking about?

as an American, and I’m sure I speak for most of us, we didn’t give a crap

I get it. False consensus aside, it’s a trope that Americans don’t much care about things outside their borders. Many Americans never cross a border, and for many people if it doesn’t affect them directly then it’s just noise in a busy day.

But with such long unguarded borders, minimal manufacturing, insufficient resources and a surplus of cash crops, it needs friends who will deal squarely with it and help secure those borders.

And when the oil and electricity run short, I hope America is cool paying “market prices” if we’re no longer best-buds.

Wonderfully succinct. Thank you for caring about strangers representing themselves best and better.

incase

Not a word, my dude.

still blames a foreign country

I see someone doesn’t know the difference between “measures against” and “blames”.

Is this like blaming the speed limit for a speeding ticket?

longstanding

long-standing

It’s Tuesday, right?

Yes. I’m doing that with a 7040mff right now.

Did we recall our troopies? I wasn’t even aware of that.
