This is perhaps too onion-y, but somebody has to drop it in the thread:

The Onion's statement on the purchase

Granted, Biden did almost nothing to slow it down, and kept Israel well supplied with the weapons of genocide. Do you really think it's a coincidence that Netanyahu waited until the day after the election to announce that Palestinians won't be allowed to return to northern Gaza though?

Granted, that was almost certainly the plan all along, but now even the fig leaf is gone. Without the need to devote any thought at all to political cover, Israel will stop even pretending to internal investigations of accusations against their own soldiers and redeploy those resources to the battlefield.

The number of Palestinian deaths may not be different, but they'll die even sooner.

To be even more explicit on the last point, that means regularly updating OpenWRT and all your containers, not just the server's base OS

Vested interest? Literally vested stock options. Well, by now they've already been used to purchase stock.

Absolutely not. At those densities, the write speed isn't high enough to trust to RAID 5 or 6, particularly on a new system with drives from the same manufacturing batch (which may fail around the same time). You'd be looking at a RAID 10 or even a variant with more than two drives per mirror. Regardless of RAID level, at least a couple should be reserved as hot spares as well.

EDIT: RAID 10 doesn't necessarily rebuild any faster than RAID 5/6, but the write speed is relevant because it determines the total time to rebuild. That determines the likelihood that another drive in the array fails (more likely during a rebuild due to added drive stress). with RAID 10, it's less likely the drive will be in the same span. Regardless, it's always worth restating that RAID is no substitute for your 3-2-1 backups.

The most encouraging thing in the whole talk for me was when he told a roomful of IT folks that they need to join or form Unions and they cheered.

Not true.

He can't prevent anyone that received the code under the GPL from using (and distributing it) under the old license. He also can't relicense code that he received under the GPL only under the new license.

If he receives a new license from the other contributors to distribute under a more restrictive license, he can do that because he has a dual license to the code and is not relying on the GPL for his right to distribute.

Gonna have to disagree with #3 - stopping Vim is not necessary for this. There's the builtin :! command.

Don't forget /auto, for things that get automatically mounted when you first access them (autofs)

Not completely ignoring - I assume that was the swipe about "only engages in genocide reluctantly" was about.

Myself, I agree with you that we haven't seen much sign of that reluctance.

Nah. This has happened with every major corporate antivirus product. Multiple times. And the top IT people advising on purchasing decisions know this.
