Linux absolutely isn’t perfect, no technology is. But in my years of experience with both, Linux on the whole is far less finicky, and far easier to fix when it breaks.

I agree 110% but it’s also worth mentioning that windows isn’t as finicky as we complain about. If it was, companies wouldn’t by and large rely on it. People are delusional if they think Windows is only around because of some conspiracy or historical precedent. “It works” plain and simple. As you scale you’re going to run into issues regardless of the OS. It’s naive to think Linux is the be all that end all. As much as anyone I want to be Linux only. My home computers have been Linux for decades now. I’m a realist. There’s value and challenges with every OS. I hate the industry trend of Windows over Linux but I get it

I tend to stick with what the language wants me to use.

It really applies to anything. Whenever you read of policy related arguments always look at the people complaining. Rule of thumb is it gives you a good idea of who the policy hurts the most. If it’s large companies or rich people complaining by and large it’s probably a good policy.

If you’re serious about monitoring your shit this is really the best answer. Zabbix is love. Zabbix is life.

Oh Captain Haddock we love you

The original Xbox controller for the North American release. I swear it was made for Paul Bunyan it was fucking massive.

Delicious irony

Meh. No different than how you can make a programming language and then have it compile itself. It’s weird.

Every day we stray further from God’s light lol

Anecdotal but in my career in corporate this has been the order of operations

1. Employees get any old equipment free if asked
2. Employees can pay for any old equipment if asked at a reduced cost
3. Employees can’t get any old equipment

The reason was they company wasn’t getting any benefit to give away the equipment. Then it was too much of a hassle to write paperwork for the sales which are then used to write down refreshes. Then they just blanket sold to another company which as an employee you then have to engage but with no discounts.

These big businesses make money hands over feet but god forbid they let Joe Employee keep his old laptop for his kid as an unofficial perk of working there.
