did you just imply that openstack is a way to avoid bloat?

this. if one more dipshit tells me i should use docker instead of lxc, i'm going to try harder to find out what real value it adds. lxc already did all the heavy lifting. i pray to got that docker folding like a house of cards is the trigger that pops this bubble. there are honest ways to make money in open source, but this sure ain't it

wow fanboy much? are the coreos devs idiots? 'cause i've met them and they seemed smart. also, i've foregone docker in favour of just lxc. am i an idiot? do you want to tell my clients? they will too a multinational, laugh you to the curb

No. The EU forces me all the time to do things I don't want to do, and I have no choice. I have, and did choose to stop using google services over a period about a year. Totally weaned from google about 12 months ago now. I might starting using them again now. But the point is I HAVE A CHOICE

i forgot a significant comma there. sorry

tireless people at bigcorp have no job security because they are a threat to be fired asap

this.

hahahahahahahahaha nope. not even close. here's a hint: would you tell you younger brother to spend 4 years doing those "projects" or 4 years solving problems for the real world and a couple hours doing open source problem solving at night? yah, i thought so. if you say you picked the former, you're lying. or don't have a younger brother. source: been in industry for 15 years, running business in london for 3 years now.

your generalisations might be terribly wrong. i moved from NA to western europe and i find people very dull. niether interested in serious subjects or cat videos.

i could say everything (yes everything) that you said and i did the opposite move. maybe things are just clamping down on both sides of the pond? i think its the increase in the power of the state, but i'd like to be wrong (because that would be hard to fix: they hace the guns and will soon have the press). am i wrong?

Really? So you're claiming that you were instead sidestepping his question, and misleading everyone into thinking you were on about actually answering his valid point? You REALLY want to make that claim?

How can a rational human prefer to be thought a troll and a moron over just simply ignorant?

Nope

how are you the only guy on here that even mentioned ddg and other alternatives? slashdot has gone way downhill lately.

Thanks for that, very clear explaination of what I think is a rational theory. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you would have gotten extra points for citing your sources. I've read a bunch of C. H. Douglas' writings recently and I think he correctly predicted the "infinitely increasing debt" problem very well (No one else even bothers to wonder "why is there more and more debt, even when worldwide GDP is increasing?? Has there been a wordwide hot war since 1950, with the entire world getting carpet bombed, or is there another explaination?"

I still struggle with his ideas of a solution. I think Samuel Konkin might have a better solution (i.e. openbazaar/opentxs), but we're reading Alongside Night right now, just to get around the philosophy a bit better.

You can build or buy a 100% open source one. Note: I have no affiliation with the project. Been in my bookmarks for a week or so.
