  • That makes perfect sense until I contrast it with the fact that I've never had any sort of issue with yum's performance. I do this crap for a living. I might carry out the same install or patching on several servers. As long as it executes in a consistent and reliable way, performance is really a secondary consideration.

  • Well the distros in question are pretty standard. RHEL, CENT, Oracle, Rocky. Ok. At least they let me keep my interface.

  • None that I know of. I'm pretty sure they are both installed. I think dnf has some sort of TUI. I was just never interested.

  • They mentioned YUM just long enough to shit on it. I've never had a reason to switch to DNF. Fukit. YUM works.

  • The devs are some really strange folks. They would enjoy your discomfiture.

    But as OP said, they are really, emphatically, antifa-level before antifa was cool, no-nazi.

  • I recommend reading their "Frequently Questioned Answers" document, aka Dash1.https://fqa.9front.org/dash1.release.pdf

    I've read a lot of tech docs through the years. Hands down, this is my favorite.

    I do not recommend installing their OS, unless you have time to kill and curiosity.9front is completely useless. It's a programmer's toy; a sandbox to develop some OS build ideas.

  • I install 9front releases, screw with a couple windows, and give up again. It's a cycle.

  • I've been watching this thread, expected to hear this, but not yet ...I know Google's office products are essentially the same problem, but they are at very least free (in dollars).I haven't used MS Office in years. We use Google at work. I use my NextCloud at home.

  • A friend visited for a few days. He left his face-hugger at home.His sleep was awful. Sounded like he was fighting with people.He looked worse and worse. By the time he left, I think he was in dire need of a full sleep.It was gross. Stop doing coke, Keith. At least he's lost some weight since then. Its probly the coke tho ...

  • Um ... I have 2 GLI.net OpenWRT routers. Yes, they can do quite a bit of the same stuff. Really, I'm a fan. I paid money for them, twice ... but I would not want to deploy enterprise networks on OpenWRT. When I needed a full gateway for a virtual network, I used OPNsense.

  • Ok. Shakin my head here. I certainly believed pfSense was opensource.I switched to OPNsense this year, mostly because that's what we use at work.It sounds like I'm on the right one then?Or is somebody next week gonna tell me OPNsense is a fully corporate orphan crushing operation?

  • Grandma can't see the pins anymore to take them out.She made me a lovely quilt. I'm pretty sure I'll never be done pulling pins out of it.

    Treat that vest very carefully for a while. No sudden moves.

  • Mmm. Ya ya. No argument. But its iDRAC. I've had to sit through enough propaganda. I'm pretty sure about this.

  • I hate it when my boss says that. Or he will call it "D-RAC". Annoys the hell out of me.It's iDRAC.Yes, there are components that are called RAC, but the Dell out of band management system is called iDRAC. ... but that's not as dumb as when he calls the SuperMicro system "iLO". That's IPMI. We don't even own any HPE. I've no idea why he's stuck on iLO.

  • I keep a Windows 2008 w Java 6 VM on ice for administering old Java console shit like that.The VM is unsafe as hell. Completely virgin unpatched. The only protection is that I don't give it a gateway or dns, and I shut it down when its not in use.And it works. Old Java shit can still be used.

  • VMware does this with its virtual networking. If a change takes it offline, it automatically rolls it back. It can be frustrating at times, but mostly its saved my ass.

  • This is the NetAdmin's problem. And he's got 3 ways to get into the datacenter, so he goddamn well better have an answer that doesn't involve airfare. Worst case, he's gotta use remote hands, but that would be embarrassing, and I'd not let him forget it. Nobody forgives me when I screw up a server cluster, so he gets no latitude when he takes a datacenter offline.

  • Came here for this. The rest of this post is shite.

  • I acknowledge that this is spoonula thing is happening ... but its madness.I don't entirely understand, and something in me rebels against doing so.
