The Novell Netware model adapted to the VM era is what makes sense, where the tools don't require logging in to the server at all in order to administer the environment.
What? You absolutely had to authenticate to administer a Netware server, unless you did it from the console in the early days. That is logging in. If you don't think so, then neither is passwordless rsh, or ssh with a key and no password.
because they won't give up that terrible UI they've invested so much in
Most of the basic behavior of the UI used in Windows was inherited from IBM CUA, and is also shared by all of the commonest DEs for Linux. They also all have an analogue of the start menu. It's unclear what you're talking about here.
Legacy macOS 10 was never meant as a server OS
Back when the OS MacOS is now based on was created, there was no distinction between workstation and server OSes. Therefore MacOS X not being intended as a server OS is a downgrade from the prior product... like many of the changes Apple made, especially the UI ones.
They chose the under-tested alpha version of an OS from a vendor who is running an attack on the GPL. What could possibly be less surprising than that? You need to recalibrate your surprise-o-meter.
Another disturbing point, why was GitHub being used? Standing up a Git server is easy
Yeah that. Why not a GitGov or GovHub? It makes zero sense.
I was just going to remind IS of their password policy recommendations that everyone doing business with the feds are supposed to follow.
So much for that fucking idea.
I did a stint as an RV repair tech but I really don't want to replace more poop tanks and I can't get a good reference because my ex-boss is a POS.
Maybe it's appliance repair next I guess, that was some of the least terrible RV repair work
That should be "<subject> wikipedia" in that last bit, Slashdot ate the brackets.
> So? The Linux kernel folks patched within hours or days.
Thank God that's all that's necessary and means we immediately get the updates to our computers without even having to reboot. There are no middle men between those plucky fast acting Linux kernel folks and me too, which also helps. Unlike Windows where... oh wait, no, it's the other way around isn't it?
Seriously gweihir, I'm sure you have your heart in the right place, and I run GNU/Linux (Debian) myself, but stop with this fucking nonsense that GNU and Linux people are somehow the only ones who "care" about security and Microsoft doesn't care at all. There are clear reasons why Windows has vulnerabilities more frequently than GNU/Linux, and they aren't because Microsoft doesn't care about it.
Likewise the GNU/Linux folks, especially the kernel people - a sizable number of which have conniptions when you just ask them to maybe work with people who are trying to introduce better security and use more solid programming languages than C - are not far more security focused. They benefit from having more eyes on their work, but most are just trying to get a device driver to work or make something a little faster. The userland people aren't much better - these are people who don't see the problem in throwing out wholesale decades of well tested code in order to "improve" security because they don't have the brains to figure out how to graft a security layer onto X11 when it's never been easier to do so.
We're going to be picking through Wayland related CVEs for the next 20 years.
The GNOME/Wayland people in particular are more unserious about security than Microsoft is.
I did. I didn't find anything. But Google is crap these days, so I'd rather ask experts. Have you used Google recently? It's even worse than it was 5 years ago, and it was pretty fucking close to useless back then for anything except getting celebrity news or " wikipedia".
lol, shashdotters are an adorable lot, forever living in the past
Imagine if Nazis had access to modern technology when they were tracking every Jewish person.
We don't have to imagine, we have an apartheid regime including ubiquitous tracking and an ongoing genocide which we can just look at.
as you shovel this garbage onto your audience you should know that your audience does, in fact, know the difference.
Some of them will. Some of them will have absolutely no clue, just like now.
AI hallucination in a factual broadcast is like catshit on a pizza: It doesn't matter how infrequent it is, no amount is acceptable.
To thinking people, yes. A lot of people are listening to podcasts to figure out what to think.
Cloud cover is a problem for visible light, but not for infrared light.
Bro, have you heard of the greenhouse effect?
They were playing nice until someone started bombing them.
In which alternate reality?
Iran is not "a", but "the" supporter and financier behind Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis and a bunch of other militias and trouble sources in the region. So no, they were absolutely not playing nice, even if you ignore all the atrocities inside Iran.
To err is human, to moo bovine.
