100% agreed. If possible, get a rescue kid. (In general, without getting into the nitty gritty details about the adoption processes around the world.)

Read “evil dildo” at first. Even that fits.

E. The fits was not intended, but suits here as well.

Great job! Now it’s a good time to learn a bit of Ansible so you can keep your fleet up-to-date and configured. It would also come in handy in case you get a permit to do more conversions in the future.

Do they really nag for streaks? Damn, it’s sadder than I thought…

From serious to psychotic.

That was quick. Cheers!

Is there a non-paywall/no-sub version anywhere? Maybe paste here?

Well,

Broadcom released a free VMware again

should be taken as a bait to lure in unsuspecting users before later stage enshit tactics happen. Synology seems to be at some other point in their enshit process, but enshit nevertheless.

I have a love/hate relationship with Nethack’s Sokoban levels.

A long lost host (a machine that’s been offline or in a closed off network etc.) can find its master (puppetserver) when it sees the daylight again with the regularily polling puppet agent service. This is not as straightforward with ansible’s push model.

When facepalm ain’t enough try facedoor.

Stealing this one!

How dumb can this jerkoff be?

No, no and yes.

Type-O-Negative had its most popular moments in the 90’s. I think the placement would be quite horny and fairly sad. (If it were Carnivore and the 80’s, the scale would implode because it doesn’t accommodate very angry but really horny.)

As a shorthand writer I approve of this comment.

The point was that the lines are pretty blurred nowadays.

No, they’re apps.

I get it. That’s why I included the part about “the family tech guy”. And I think some sparkle of interest must be had in order to learn about that stuff. Or any stuff, like learning Ancient Greek. One has to be able to use a web search (or write a prompt to an LLM) for “beginner install linux” or some such. If the spark isn’t there, maybe buying a new Windows/Mac is the correct way to go.

Undoubtedly.
