Better late than never

oday (earlier this morning [1, 2, 3]) I spoke of “3 years since the [server] move” (to the UK) and some reader said it was more like “3 years since the servers were moved” though no server was moved, we basically abandoned the American servers (a “server can mean hardware, OS, or daemons [...] or, I guess, even services based on those,” the reader said).

I was gonna say “services” instead of server/s, “so from the outside it looked like a move,” the reader said, “but on the inside it was a complete rebuild” (including the operating system).

The move away from CentOS was long overdue. It now seems like many others abandon CentOS [1, 2, 3].

The old pool

think today’s weather qualifies as summer. Maybe it’s one last chance to sunbathe. I took advantage.

We got some good news this afternoon. GNU/Linux replaces Windows and Microsoft is in general perishing while lying to shareholders about the potential of slop.

At this point in time it seems like Microsoft’s decline is truly irreversible.

A growing pain

t’s Monday, which means more places are open. Our anniversary was Friday and we decided to go out and travel the following Monday, not the weekend. Trafford Centre isn’t too far away, there are nice places in the east too, and the weather today is fairly good.

Linux has a new RC and Linus (Torvalds) complains about the size, as usual, whilst also taking note of LLMs in the last paragraph. This is becoming a big problem and the press does not talk about it (or talks about this as a positive/benign thing).

I plan to dig deeper into this.

There are many “Big Issues” to cover. If the media turns a blind eye to them, then we can ‘plug the gap’.

Good day, not great weather though

‘ve just returned from the park and stadium (which we went past twice ahead of Enzo’s first cup match for this club). They play music there and the staff outnumbers the spectators at these early hours.

Despite unpredictable weather we went to feed the flock of 70+ birds and it was fantastic. There were some sunny spells too and the ducks joined in.

Tonight we eat popcorn with cheese and tomorrow we have an exceptional schedule, including card exchange.

I am still eagerly awaiting the birthday of GNU. GNU/Linux is going mainstream this year.

t has been over 5 years since its release and Vista 11 is pegged at measly 15.6% in the US, whereas GNU/Linux grows a lot.

In North America, GNU/Linux is exceptionally dominant (more so than other continents). I wonder why.

Unless it’s humour, which is how he excuses this (and at the same time endorsing violence).

Earlier this month: Calling People “Nazis”

n the feeble mind of Garrett, everything that he does not agree with is instantaneously labeled something truly awful. He seems to not understand that when he does so he may be defaming people, in effect associating them with banned expressions/activities. Some of them respond to that today:

Their opinion, not mine.

Despite being facetious and tongue-in-cheek (and rude by default), he makes it sound like 1) he needs a million bucks and 2) he’s looking for a job now.

Fake security is already breaking systems running GNU/Linux

ore complexity means more problems. Newer code means more bugs (e.g. Rust rewrites).

Fake security means catastrophe for no actual gain/s.

As noted by several sites [1, 2], linking to a bug report, kneeling to Microsoft came at a high cost:

TPM? Who asked for TPM in Linux? GAFAM? But who am I to even mention the principal culprits? I have degrees in computing, not in genetics.
