I used to be a vim snob and thought everyone should use what I use.
I am now an Emacs lover and believe everyone should use what works for them. I grew up!
Former racker here. When RAX laid me off, I was told there was no other place for me to go (which was not true). I loved my time there and the people I learned so much from and loved working with. It hurt. I had fantastic managers who did care, but the company changed and looking back I shouldn’t have been surprised. Cog in the machine. When I was a manager elsewhere I tried to show the same care my previous managers did. I cared even if those at the top didn’t.
I agree. I have worked at various companies that use Red Hat/CentOS extensively and the only time I ever saw someone turn Selinux off was on RHEL 6. Ever since then, it has been easier and easier to use. Not saying it is perfect for everyone, but it does work and can be made to work well.
We did this at one place I used to work at. We had lots of Linux systems. We installed clamAV but kept the service disabled. The audit checkbox said “installed” and it fulfilled the checkbox…
You are. The charts are confusing. At the bottom it says full support ends May 31, 2027.
Red Hat made some strange decisions with the way they’re handling Stream vs RHEL, plus the communication was abysmal, and they changed models mid-cycle. Be mad at them for that all you want, the rest was overblown.
This company could have just used Stream 9 if he wanted a free OS. Since he’s virtualizing, he could have bought hypervisor licenses for $4k a piece that allow you to run as many VMs as your hypervisor can handle. He could have used OpenShift for virtualization and container orchestration, and just paid for the OpenShift licensing. If you use OpenShift, you can run all the RHEL VMs and UBIs you’d like at no extra cost. What you never do is pay per core. There isn’t a single licensing model from RH that forces you to do that. If you license individually, each license supports one bare metal machine, or two VMs. This guy is full of shit. He’s just mad everything isn’t $0.
Works just fine on my Dell Precision 7540. Tried briefly to get GPU passthrough to work but failed. I lack the time to seriously try. Otherwise, it works great.
I’m still using a Phenom X2 with now 12Gb of RAM.
I do have 4 spinny 7200rpm drives. Got gifted some of those hard drives from a former company as they were slated to be thrown away (proper methods were followed to ensure they were wiped).
Been running FreeBSD with jails for a home server for a long time (now nextcloud, Smb/nfs, now plex, munin, a few other random services. I know it will die one day, but enjoying it while it lasts!
