Because the loss of control is never done in one move. It degrades, slowly. It is a slippery slope.
Today its this, next year something else that is slightly more controversial but, same as this, will likely be adopted.
5 years down the line law comes in with KYC - Lennert, that shitweasel, implements it, same as this. It blocks your services without activation. What then? Will you be more upset then?
What about a few years after that when you browse some website that is against the "administration" and you get flagged, next morning ICE drags you out of bed, kills your dog and you dissappear?
Will you give a shit then?
Maybe this is all exaggerated, but so was saying that ICE would off people in the streets a few years ago, yet its reality, today. The world isn't what it used to be, you got to fight, constantly, otherwise your freedoms get eroded.
And glorious. Been playing for a few months. Wild stuff.
I worked with windows and their servers for a long, long time. Fully delved into that ecosystem as it was between 2000-2019 or so.
In 2019 i quit the job I had then and went on a short sabbatical, severe burnout. I had played around with knoppix circa 2003, slackware as well, but I didn't "get it".
So the image of linux, in my head, were those experiences until 2019, when I took another look. I had a 500gb sata ssd that I was using to test out every distro under the sun, including a relatively successful install of BLFS. For 2 years I had tried all I could get my hands on, until I settled on my distro of choice.
Nuked my nvme, cleaned out almost all windows remnants from my homelab and went balls deep in linux.
So now I am off windows for about 5 years and I feel like I did when I quit smoking. I keep an install around on a spare ssd because I need fusion360 and a few games that only work on windows so I can keep up with the few friends I have.
But home is on my linux installs and every day, I enjoy the shit out of it.
I have a few, those things are so cheap and so good for the price!
I was just shocked at their convenience when I first discovered them
Interesting, @chazwiz, if you ever go the debian way, check the kernel
Same here, sick of holy wars.
That being said, it seems the hardware difference is there, amd 370 is undercooked on debian, unless you use either sid or custom kernels.
A gits dir and a dir called "wd". Short for working dir.
Its a dumpfest of scripts, tomls, yamls, directories galore. The gits dir is where I keep my cmdb, that one is organized. wd is like a playground where I allow myself not to give a shit
Yup! Considering that cpu, debian will be painful, but ubuntu as a server is asking for trouble. Look for fedora server, for the love of god even an arch server. Do your future self a favor and avoid that grilled roadkill that is ubuntu.
Fedora server comes with cockpit if thsts what you want.
For the 370, fedora works well.
Pinch of salt- i got burned too many times with ubuntu server, I run an extensive homelab and I'm a regular at the burns ward. I loathe ubuntu with the energy of a Wolf-Rayet star.
I have openwrt on my ER-X too, poor thing is relegated to glorified managed switch duties nowadays though
