Aimed at self hosting, but S3-compatible and designed to run at different physical locations?

Surely the venn diagram for that has not such a big overlap?

It’s a shame. Labour’s in the best position it has been to make real change for the first time this century, and it’s doing its old thing of tearing itself apart.

But what real-world significance does this have?

None - I don’t know of anyone that parses release names. Versions, yes, absolutely, but silly version release names?

I came into the comments to see what other reason there was, but it seems it’s a non-story.

You can’t, or at least, you can’t not support evil in some way and exist in anything approaching normal society.

Everyone has their own tolerance for ethical things, which changes with their daily circumstances. Some people literally can’t afford to pay the extra that some such choices cost, or don’t have the time to search them out, or just don’t have the desire or will. And there’s several levels of this too - at least their core inner belief, and what they tell the world they do.

I don’t think I can agree with that, and I’m a pretty agreeable chap.

In the days when people actually cared about the html layout and readability, FP spammed everything hugely, and inserted a lot of terrible cruft. Inventing zillions of new <style> tags for everything, even when the user just wanted to italicise a word. Use a <i> tag? No! We’ll invent a whole new style class and embed it in the headers.

A few years ago I rather stupidly agreed to take over hosting of a website for someone that was dying. It had been written with FP and it took me months to de-cruft it using a lot of regexp and scrifting. (Some 8,000 images and around 2000 .html files).

For a server os, do things like consider stability and ease of upgrading between major versions.

Debian does both of those things extremely well.

If you’re playing around with changing distros and your data is valuable, I’d try and find somewhere to back it up to, myself.

It’s only true if it’s enforced, isn’t it?

So you need the self control required to add this extension for those sites you don’t have the self control not to visit too often?

If it prevents us having another crappy week thanks to the like of Crowdstrike, good.

Ok - and what sort of cpu load do they have?

htop will also show the cpu bars and the breakdown of that - whether it’s pure cpu or iowait, which is when the cpu can’t do anything because it’s waiting on disk or network.

And how’s your memory usage looking?

I’m guessing you’ve already turned it off and on again. If not, seriously, do that. It works more time than it doesn’t for random weirdness.

Run ‘htop’ and sort by CPU (it’s a friendlier and better version of ‘top’. That’ll show you what processes are using the most CPU

Whilst you’re in there, check the free memory. If that’s low, or swap usage is high, then use htop to sort by memory usage to find what’s using the most.

If you see processes you don’t recognise, hit google and find out why. It’s very unlikely they’re malicious, but it’s far less common on linux than Windows to have random processes doing unknown stuff. If it’s using a lot of cpu or memory, there’ll be a reason. It might be a dumb reason, but you will be able to find it out.

And then when you know what the guilty process is, if it is that, and it’s not critical - you can stop it with systemctl and narrow down what’s afoot.

It’s for the best, really.

Gosh, I wonder what stirred them up?

Blame the Romans.

Both words are derived from late Latin mentalis, from Latin mens, ment- ‘mind’.

Exactly. Yet another truly awful something is about to happen that’ll get buried under his new patio.

YES!

UK lawmakers - please take note also. Not just in cities but we find them jammed up in our country lanes too, and regularly crossing the centre line on B-roads.

Before this year, the thought of an entirely arbitrary block to things like American cloud services by America to its European allies would have seemed extremely unlikely. It would make no sense, the damage to America and it’s GDP would far outweigh any any political benefit.

All of those reasons still hold true, but I absolutely assure you, European governments and companies all over have that possibility firmly in their risk portfolio now. America tells microsoft to immediately not only stop selling products in Europe, but disable those already in use? Ditto Google. Ditto Apple. Ditto all the hundreds of IT hardware producers that are American. Want to cripple a foreign government that uses MS Office? Remotely disable it. job done. Sure, it would be illegal, but America’s government has no respect for law.

(Even before this, several European governments were using open source (Germany, France, Austria, Portugal - there’s a list but this is less about idealism and more about protecting themselves from the unpredictable as well as not trusting America with their data any more. Every thing like this can only be seen as non Americans distancing themselves from America every way they can, and with good reason.)

If you know, you know.
