Proxmox is entirely free and very, very reliable. Personal preference is fine, but I really don't think any of your claims are true.

I thought you had to pay a fee to access their updates repository? It's been a while though so I may be mistaken.

There's community update repositories you can swap out.

I'm not really sure what the difference is.

The difference: the free repositories get the updates before the enterprise repo.

So, the software versions that go into the enterprise repo are considered stable by then.

(If we're talking about Proxmox, that is.)

Enterprise repos are better tested and somewhat guarantee updates don’t explode anything.

Wait till you encounter the combo of gcloud parallel composite uploads + versioning + soft-delete + multi-region bucket - and you have 500TB of objects stored.

Somewhere, at a floating desk behind a wall of lava lamps, in a nyancatified ghostty terminal with 32 different shader plugins installed:

You're absolutely right! I shouldn't have force pushed that change to master. Let me try and roll it back. * Confrobulating* Oh no! Cloudflare appears to be down and I cannot revert the change. Why don't you go make a cup of coffee until that comes back. This code is production ready, it's probably just a blip.

That's why you need 300 watts of rear facing flood lights on a switch.

Michigan, where the more North you go the more Southern you are

So sick of all these hacks. I've been a Firefox user for decades but it's time to throw in the towel.

And do what? Use a Chromium-based browser, which is infinitely worse?

Forks exist

If Mozilla needs ill-fated diversification attempts to try to stay afloat, forks are in an even worse situation.

Certainly starting to feel that way isn't it.

It's frustrating that the choice is between "becoming bad" (firefox) and "much worse" (chrome).

The alcohol lobbyists did this.

> And in a letter Monday obtained by MJBizDaily, representatives from major alcohol lobbies urged senators to thwart Paul’s efforts.

> His “shortsighted actions could threaten the delicately balanced deal to reopen the federal government,” a Nov. 10 letter from the American Distilled Spirits Alliance, Distilled Spirits Council, Wine Institute, Beer Institute and Wine America reads.

The wealthy weed stock / dispensary people wanted it as much as anything else. Note many of the senators voting against the amendment to fix it, were pro-marijuana senators from legal weed states.

Hemp was a way for mom and pops to get in the game because the regulatory overhead was much lower. They were small private operators that could enter with low start-up costs, in a free-market like environment.

No one could have seriously thought it was going to last. The likes of Philip Morris type enterprises who pay a gazillion dollars for state dispensary licensing, state chain of custody, zoning, permits, state testing, etc are not going to just let some guy in his basement start shipping out THCa hemp with nothing more than a couple hundred dollars in capital and a Square terminal, no they're going to call on their contacts to ban it.

History shows us time and time again the state will destroy the free market and create regulations that don't actually help people but rather ensure the barriers are such that their wealthy friends will capture almost all the profits.

Both senators from NY, Washington, California, and Illinois voted for this.

That’s my guess too. Here in Canada, certain alcohol sales have been in decline since legalization. Not surprising.

"I’m on the record saying, that maybe Valve will actually save the Linux desktop. And it’s actually not because I think games are important! I don't care, I don't play games. I think some people do, so games maybe important. But the really important issue is I guarantee you Valve will not make 15 different binaries. And I also guarantee you that every single desktop distribution will care about Valve binaries." – Linus Torvalds in 2014

On my M2 Air I've got In-N-Out, Python, the little flame from my solo stove, and the entire bottom of the chassis is an enormous tux penguin.

I have experienced many identical situations. Some people just love to tinker and over-engineer for the sake of stretching a muscle. It's unfortunate when that sneaks into a prod system that has to be maintained by others.
