@kuoirad Hah! I used whatever the college had, and that was Windows 95. :)
I didn't start with Linux until I installed Red Hat 5.1 some time in '97. I remember running "vi" for the first time, then yelling for a while in frustration as everything I tried just beeped at me, and then hitting the "reset" button.

@theron29 maybe, but didn't you have to run two computers just so you could have a single whole OS?

Kids these days! Back in '95, we got a Windows Blue Screen of Death 5-10 times a day, and that was on a *good* day.

Reminds me of that time when, a good few years ago, I woke up to a flurry of monitoring alerts reporting that every single kernel.org system went offline. After hours of scrambling, I managed to track it down to an automatically applied selinux package update that depended on another update in rsyslog that wasn't marked as "security" and so wasn't applied in the same transaction. This caused rsyslog to wedge, and if syslog calls are not returning, that puts the entire system into a massive gridlock.
Anyway, that was the end of automatic OS updates on all critical path systems.

@raggi Can you please report this to tools@kernel.org, so I can turn it into a bug? Thanks!

Fucking wonderful. I get COVID on a work trip, then get laid off while still recovering.
Who needs an SRE? AWS, GCP, all the usual stuff you'd expect. Immediate start, obviously. US-based, either remote or a company that will pay relocation to a blue state (any non-swing-state is fine, other than VA or NH)
DM for CV. Tell me who you work for first for the version with unredacted history, or just DM a listing for me to apply to, let me know if you want to give you as a referral or not. If you have a redacted version I will of course provide a full one directly to the company on request.
Standard stuff: Have green card. Absolutely can not get a security clearance.
Edit: Thanks so much for all the support so far ❤️

@vbabka @oleksandr well, "ob pen'" means "against a tree stump" -- so you just have to fill in the most suitable verb. Like "praise" or "congratulate." ;)

@micheal I'm not at liberty to share -- just someone's resource with some kind of kernel statistics. I can't tell you more, because I don't think I can easily install any software that can open gopher:// links any more. Other than, maybe, Emacs -- and I'm not installing Emacs just to check out a gopher link.

Inbox 90 is the best I can do today. Considering I started with over 3,100, this is not too bad. :)

Not the mental image I needed today.

Why do recent kernels require so much twerking, to execute Suspend and
Hibernate Successfully? If you are Lucky!!

"Overlord tech fund" sounds a lot more sinister than "Sovereign tech fund."

I am amused that "sovereign" now means some kind of cross between "independent" and "self-sustaining" when it literally means "overlord."

@m I guess you did specify "grid scale" -- so those do use swamp coolers predominantly. Even then, evaporated water doesn't stop being water, so it is not being "consumed" if it came from a flowing water source, as opposed to an aquifer.
in the areas where water is abundant (like here in Montreal), evaporative cooling only consumes filters.
I still see this emphasis on water consumption as misdirected when it comes to data centres. Making and transporting the servers, hiring technicians, etc -- all of it has a much grander impact on environment than water cooling.
