The sentiment should rather be, that the system maintains itself. And that’s actually something I would get behind.
Tinkering around is cool, but I’m in my 30s and when my girlfriend’s build pipeline finishes, I’ll be a father, I can’t spend 4h every week fixing stuff, I need a reliable platform to work on. Currently that is indeed a mix of Debian and Nix for me.
At least the normal update process should work completely transparently for the user.
Not a sysadmin, but a capable user.
People shouldn’t just accept technology as magic. They should understand at least the basic principles of the technology around them. Corporations want us to be dumb and incapable. Look at cars, you seriously can’t expect a normal person to fix anything on them. But that’s not because of inherent complexity, but because corporations want us to just buy new parts when they think it’s time.
Sapere aude was true in the 19th century and it’s true today as well.
And that refutes what argument?
And I think, you have absolutely no idea how incredibly expensive nuclear power is.
Solar power is literally free during the day in Germany right now. Investing a few hundred million in storage is much much much cheaper and easier to scale than building a nuclear power plant that will only start producing energy in 20 years or so.
“fair and well funded” my ass.
German farmers get over 40% of their income from subsidies and tax cuts already, they’re effectively state owned.
These idiots get squeezed by the food industry and instead of doing anything about it, they cry for more and more subsidies.
And one thing to remember: a whole lot of farmers are just really really not smart. They live in their farmer bubble and if the nazi editor of their farmer magazine claims that refugees steal their corn and woke people want to ban their pork, they’ll believe that.
Even if you completely disagree with his position (which I don’t), you should actually want politicians like him. He’s the only politician who actually and consistently really explains himself. He clearly gives you arguments pro and con, states his assumptions and conclusions. That’s exactly how a leader should behave. Yet, he’s getting ridiculed for exactly that.
… Because of the same guy.
He’s actively sabotaging his own government and I don’t even understand why. He’s not gaining anything. It’s not even corruption, he pissed off even the industry.
… And it’s completely unnecessary.
Just because a single delusional libertarian can’t get his ego in check the entire country has to suffer.
I use Karch, btw.

On my work laptop I have separate subdirs for each project and basically try to mirror the Gitlab group/project structure because some fucktards like to split every project into 20 repos.
Most companies seem to have don’t ask, don’t tell policies in place.
Technically we’re not allowed to use Teams on our phones, but most of us do, including management.
I’m also technically not allowed to use Spotify on my laptop, but if they’d enforce that ban, IT would be gone tomorrow.
No, there are not enough people. You can’t find enough people to stock shelves, that is an extremely unqualified job, it takes about 15min of training to do it.
The quality already drops, because you can’t find people to do stuff.
You literally can’t get someone to replace your furnace/heatpump within the next month. There are not enough people to care for seniors, not enough people to stock shelves. Doesn’t sound super nice.
Exactly. But mods here are too butthurt to accept that and rather delete my comments, so they can live in their delusions - which was my point
As I wrote: sanctions. That’s what compliance means.
But honestly, it’s a pretty badass death compared to “died of cancer at 64”.
None. There is no model that can output anything even remotely usable on that tiny amount of RAM and certainly not using the few CPU cycles your vps has to offer.
I think you don’t distinguish enough between professionals and capables.
All your points are either “sysadmin” or “complete buffoon” and nothing in between. That’s not how reality works.
You absolutely are expected to be able to check your oil and just a few years ago, you were expected to be able to change your tires. That doesn’t make you a car mechanic, but a capable user.
I’m absolutely not a car guy, but I know how to change a tire. Why? Because it’s necessary knowledge. I also know how to file my taxes, even though I’m not an accountant or tax consultant. Again, because it’s necessary.
