  • The difference with a small group of devs writing code and offering it free and corporate thugs treating coders like sponges to produce code is the lack of resources can be understood and forgiven. Take a project like brave-nightly (browser fork of glugle-elechrom) there are 3-5-8 new releases a day, 8-6 Pacific US time, when they go home on Fri. the next release is Monday afternoon, the “free” coders usually begin work Friday night and end Monday at dawn!

    Sure, corp.XYZ sends them an offer one day and buys their work and even offers them incentives to work for them, then it all goes down hill!

    It ends up being as nasty racist and ethnocentric as kernel.org.com - us state dept fed and controlled


  • Don’t take me wrong, I hate Putin just as much as I hate Biden or Trump, don’t misinterpret what I say

    But between hating Trump and discriminating against you because you are from Nebraska is the difference between a racist and a non-racist …
    Something the linux-duo-Fins can not separate, hence their delirium with nationalist rhetoric and lack of historical understanding.










  • I still prefer net-tools and use ifconfig eth0 up That ip mess I’d rather do without, and those funky UU device/interface names I wish them out of my system

    By the way, what system/init/svc manager are you using? With 50y in your back, cron job to check if it is up and resetting it while you are away. You can always remotely cancel the cronjob … but it will be a new mistake not the old one :)

    I started on Irix and ultrix if you remember those, what would I know :)


  • This war was forced into Russia due to the blocking and surrounding it with NATO bases clearly against it, and by trying to block and substitute its primary exports to EU.

    The violent overthrow of the then democratic government in Ukraine, the arming, training, and directing a Neo-Nazi para-military unit to take over, after forcing half the political parties in being illegal, had nothing to do with Russia. If there is someone underinformed, confused, and lacking historical facts it is not me, and better change your arrogant tone if you seriously want to discuss something and not just throw propaganda mud.



  • That is what I “always” thought, motorcycling will get me and I wouldn’t want to live without being able to ride … but then it happens, you don’t and you get to live with what you never though you would be. …

    Some friend came along today and had Frank Sinatra “my way” playing for a ring, immediately I searched the tube and found Sid Vicious’ “my way” and played it back … he never got old. I guess they can take our lives away but we get to keep the mind young if we want… and look back to see if we are happy with choices, even the worst mistakes.

    The weirdest feeling is that the older you get the more you feel time is accelerating … you get older faster and faster after a certain age.



  • People are not under sanctions, and no linux developer worked for the Russian government, and since when has a war affected who works on what open source project. There are wars all over the place all the damn time …

    I am not talking about the sanctions, I am talking about the additional remarks on how nationalist and racist both the leaders of the project appeared to be from their statements.

    Linux

    A few months ago (Oct 18 2024) Linus and his sidekick signing the kernel, not only admitted they were going to comply with US Stat.Dep. doctrine and remove developers (on long term good standing) on the basis of nationality and national origin of the employers, they exploded into a rant, clearly admitting to being nationalist and in distrorting history to fit their rhetoric. In greenwashing nationalism (you can say racism underlying this national hate speech) into the base of most open and free code, nationalism now is not free as in beer it is free as in “freedom”? This is as large of a difference as socialism and ethno-socialism.

    The linux community … the end user … DOESN’T give a damn, only wants the latest and badest of development in his gaming machine.

    Once you make a slip and slide exception you can’t prevent any more in the future. First will be “justified nationalism”, then “not so justified racism”, then “sexism”, then will be the gas chambers for anyone who forks anything away from Führera (Fedora + Führer).

    If using any kernel later than 10 18 2024 I see it as the nationalist/racist fork. I expect the original to continue by developers who don’t use race/ethnicity/gender as a basis for accepting/rejecting contributors.

    When you ask such a question within the circle making the decision you get a few defensive answers and then you get a storm of fan-boys/dogs defending their masters’ choice. Objectiveness tends to get lost in a discussion on who is asking and their mother.

    So I thought of asking in a more neutral environment, and reddit r/linux is not it.
