@usul no, not necessarily. Equinix wasn't the only one doing bare metal, and there are other interesting offers (no, not Hetzner).

@usul We don't have final details of where we're going yet, but it's certainly odd to still be donating thousands of dollars monthly to distros that are backed by companies that bring in billions in revenues.

I'm considering dropping commercially backed distros from mirrors.kernel.org as part of the migration away from Equinix Metal: Fedora, Ubuntu, Opensuse. It would drop us from 35TB to 23TB and make a significant impact on our bandwidth requirements.

@nasamuffin I almost never mix my drinks (with dark-n-stormy being the only exception), so I just drink whatever comes in the bottle.

@nasamuffin "Fentanyl Tomahawk" sounds like it would be dangerous. ;)

I guess it's not any different than liquor stores dumping all US alcohol. I'll miss Bulleit Bourbon, but I'm happy to make a swift transition to Canadian Ryes.

The "alien spaceship" display at the Canada Science and Technology Museum has a screen that's just a bunch of htop, ping sessions, and matrix screensavers and I'm legit curious if it's sourcing them from those "your vnc port is open" sites.

I think I might skip visiting the US for a while.

Geez, don't send me a "friendly reminder" to fill out your voluntary customer survey. It's the business speak equivalent of ending your request with "or suffer the consequences."

@LWN kernel.org is equally moving much sooner than we'd expected.

@brauner With b4-0.14 -- yes, for sure. It will automatically set dependencies, too, I believe.
