I might actually end up disabling swap in the end. I wanted to update that apparently I “fixed” the problem (not sure if permanently) by turning off the pc, unplugging the PSU, and holding down the power button for 30 seconds. Normal reboots weren’t enough. I’ll take it for now.

Hell yeah!

I have plenty of RAM and I run Linux on a VM. Works like a charm. You can even use open source hypervisors like UTM.

I wouldn’t bother running it on bare metal just yet.

Good luck with storage lol

I do trust the devices on my network but I guess I’ll probably look into how to setup HTTPS.

I should’ve been more neutral with my statement.

My takeaway is that so far no one has proved that Red Hat is violating the GPL. On the other hand, Red Hat has provided an explanation that would imply how it works without violating the GPL. So what I’m saying is that if they’re right, then all that I’ve said so far is correct. If they’re wrong, we don’t know yet.

I’m not a lawyer or a Red Hat employee; I’m just here to share my understanding. I posted that link because I thought they explained it well, and yeah, it is not 100% clear yet. But for this same reason, I would not say with confidence that they’re violating the GPL.

This has the best explanation I’ve seen: https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2023/jun/23/rhel-gpl-analysis/

In particular, see the section “What Exactly Is the RHEL Business Model?”.

Or, if you want a short sentence to read only:

Whether that analysis is correct is a matter of intense debate, and likely only a court case that disputed this particular issue would yield a definitive answer on whether that disagreeable behavior is permitted (or not) under the GPL agreements.

The point is that it does not violate the GPL.

Is it really super high? It might not be very intuitive, but there’s nothing truly complicated. Maybe I’m out of touch.

Yes. I just don’t know if it’s good to phrase it as “RHEL customers are legally allowed to share the code”, since as soon as they do it they won’t be allowed to be customers anymore lol (assuming Red Hat finds out)

It’s simple: they can redistribute it since it’s GPL, but if they do so, they break their business contract with RedHat, so they’re not customers anymore and can’t see the source code in the future.

GPL doesn’t mean that they must give the code to everyone, only that you have those rights as long as you have the software. So RedHat is not forced to have everyone as a customer, and according to them, distributing the code kicks you out.

They can still re-distribute the current source they have, but will not have access to future source code.

The only video I watched of him was about sudo being “insecure, bloated, useless” and telling people to download a port of doas uploaded by some random user on GitHub… so you’d get 2 surfaces of attacks now, one which is definitely not being fixed as quickly.

I swear some people must have secret telepathic powers because there’s always drama in friends/acquaintances/… groups I’m in, and yet I’m always out of the loop!

Drugs /s

Kidding but sober I can’t really stand it for too long if it’s loud and crowded, no matter how. I would suggest finding different friends, but I understand that this might be too extreme.

That’s not how I understood it. I think saying “closed source” is kind of misleading.

Damn, I checked out their website and it’s really tempting. I might try it a for a small hobby project that I won’t rely on long-term. Thanks for sharing!

Happened to me at the dentist and it was so embarrassing.

See, I would just disable it if I set it up myself, and I’m more “tech savvy” than my friends, so if I delegated this task, I would probably manage to find a work around at some point.

Rookie numbers /s

Omg so many typos Meds wore off, I’m sleepy, got an exam in the morning oh my god
