    A dumb and sort of wrong version would be:

    Politically Left: “Society combine for everyone”, Politically Right: “Freedom for everyone at all cost”

    CORRECTION

    Unfortunately, left and right are rather coarse terms within the political spectrum. Consider looking for some easy explanations to understand the finer details.

    Fun Fact: The emergence of the “left” / “right” distinction in the political sense is attributed to the original seating arrangement at the Constituante, the constituent national assembly of 1789 in France.

    EDIT: I hate talking about political stuff. Never a correct answer and every word is scrutinized. I hate it.

    I feel ya. Same for me. I really have to force myself to NOT doomscroll short videos whatever the platform may be. Being able to focus for long durations on a single activity ain’t easy, but way more rewarding than eating a bunch of M&Ms one by one at high speeds.

    I guess this is how smokers who try to quit feel.

    The Withdrawal Symptoms are real… I actually picked up reading mangas online as a replacement. Still have difficulties focusing on that one activity. Reddit has really damaged this ability of mine that I have to rebuild now…




  • People are asshats. That’s why

    It’s all about cost reduction and fraud prevention. Those cheap stickers are simply tamper-proof, getting easily destroyed upon removal. Prevents being resticked onto other items. A simple example would be thiefes who remove discount labels or price tags from cheap items and put those onto expensive items, ready to argue that the item must’ve been mislabled by the store and then insist on the low price. Doesn’t work with a tampered sticker.

    Also, there actually are easy-to-remove labels being used - just not for pricing out stuff.

    40 seconds startup?! What? Should open within like 2-3 Seconds. 5 if your system RAM is maxing out.

    Abou locally developed extensions, you will need to follow the specific developer directions on that. But if you code, you should’ve figured that out already. If not, you tried doing shady things, which Firefox rightfully blocked.


  • Nah, prices have gone up considerably. Generally around 250~350€ per year per Server depending on your deal for Redhat. SUSE is about the same, both are currently recalculating, most likely upping the price. HPC-nodes cost less (somewhere around 30-80€/year). But they make it all way too complicated by binding license costs to CPU count for example and now after abandoning that to other nonsense. Lead to a brief popularity of dual-core servers a few years ago, since Oracle licenses were all CPU-core count based. Don’t know how that is currently going.

    Also it depends on other stuff like support levels and whatnot. We once had to get an expert on licensing costs to get an offer for licensing a few servers and even these people could not respond immediately and had to go through several documents to calculate the price - note those weren’t resellers, those were from the Company themselves. I had to stiffle a few laughes during that conference…

    Been there, it’s not fun. Transitioned the new HPC cluster from redhat to suse. Switched to Centos after a few years on suse due to pricing and their software becoming more and more unstable. The following cluster got CentOS from the start and then got migrated to rocky after they switched Centos to rolling release. It’s not easy running this stuff…

    I agree. Still fun nonetheless, seeing some of the biggest players banding together against a competitor.

    It’s still an issue though for mainly science areas with large HPC clusters who need stable supported OS releases for extremely expensive specialty software. Looking at the pricing, Redhat now wants to take quite a large chunk in licensing fees out of science budgets.
