Right. A use case I have is my employer has a very old monolithic tomcat application, with about 3 or 4 different use-cases, and each one of these could be installed on a separate piece of hardware, optimize for that use-case's particular load and usage profile (in terms of hardware provisioning). In fact, there are cases where we provision a lot of RAM on the box, to handle large numbers of user sessions but the application is not very CPU intensive. But another part of this program is a job scheduler, which will periodically bring the whole system to its knees, even when we have a ton of CPU; and that makes the system unusable for the logged in users. The answer is to install it on two different machines, one with a ton of CPU, and the other with a ton of RAM. Now; doing that with Doocker is fairly trivial, as compared to provisionin two separate pieces of hardware.

meh; I'd end the era at 2015. To be sure: the 2013 year irked me, because of the soldered RAM and sealed battery. But, I'm still using mine. I'm going to try the battery swap soon. Wish me luck.

I am a habitual rsyslog user anyway; but still for the life of me can't get rsyslog to work with journald. At least not with tomcat standard out logs.
. . . . yes, it would be nice if my devs would stop putting critical (and PHI) in std.out. . .

Biggest problem I have with systemd is the broken selinux packages. Also; the fubared way it steals logs. (journald does that).

So I'd be happy to switch to alpine - but I'd miss bash too much.

Exactly right.

There was no such thing as "digital space" before Darpa developed it. The idea that western powers are "colonizing" it is fucking absurd.

If you think that taxpayers will magically get that money back, you're going to have a rough time.

Here's the dirty secret:

It's ECMAScript. VBScript is also ECMAScript.

Now does it become clear?

More properly: Software and Systems Engineering and Integration has been subverted and subsumed by accountants.

Well, stop fucking disabling selinux then.

IMO: there's a lot more to this than what is publicly known.

Not much of any of this makes any sense. I'd bet my left nipple (which is my favorite) that Assange is much more deeply involved into spying or organized crime activities than has been acknowledged by western authorities.

That's a matter of opinion.

When your product is technology, and you fire engineers, .
Instead of the executives who did nothing but planned the company into a corner, risking nothing, maybe those are the people who are "not needed".

You sound strangely familliar. Like. . . who was that? 20007?

ha.
who will stop the buybacks?

The bribed congressmen?

aw, how cute. You think that Salesmen will still be useful when Larry gets everyone vendor locked-in.

honestly - it wouldn't even take AI. Just a committment to investing more in equipment and infrastructure.

(and the money's out there: hell, we printed trillions since 2008. It's just being hoarded to make the 1% feel less anxious).
