I pity the peoples who buy a new Laptop and will actually keep that default OS and settings that came with it...

Must be awful.

"Are you sure you wants to disable fun facts from Cortana on the login screen"

Fuck yeah!

@kingu@mstdn.social oh my god and the bloatware, imagine using a stock HP laptop with McAfee... Many such cases

Imagine using Windows ​:lain_smug4:​

@dushman@den.raccoon.quest @kingu@mstdn.social bro i am not gonna neuter my 3080 just to run le elite os 🤢, my favorite game doesn't even work right in wine. When win 10 is no longer supported I'm jumping ship though ​​

@hdtv@bodybag.zip @kingu@mstdn.social

he fell for the novidea meme

@dushman@den.raccoon.quest @kingu@mstdn.social Imagine not using the arc A770 ​​

@hdtv@bodybag.zip @kingu@mstdn.social
I've been using only Linux and BSD for ages now. Everything I want to run works lol.

@dushman @hdtv Same for me!

@kingu@mstdn.social @dushman@den.raccoon.quest damn, whats ur fav distro? mint? All my servers run debian

@hdtv@bodybag.zip @kingu@mstdn.social
This server runs Alpine. It has the holy trinity of busybox, musl and openrc.

@hdtv@bodybag.zip @kingu@mstdn.social
It's extremely efficient, simple and adaptable.

@hdtv@bodybag.zip @kingu@mstdn.social
Will run on just about anything you throw it on

@hdtv@bodybag.zip @kingu@mstdn.social
Btw since it uses busybox for its coreutils it's Linux without the GNU lol

@dushman @hdtv

Nobody can interject for a moment!!!

@kingu@mstdn.social @hdtv@bodybag.zip
Yup lmao

@kingu@mstdn.social @hdtv@bodybag.zip
Though I'd only recommend Alpine if you are experienced with *nix systems

@dushman@den.raccoon.quest @kingu@mstdn.social I am retarded ​:pogging:​ 👍

@hdtv@bodybag.zip @kingu@mstdn.social
Well if you ever need help with server issues you can hit me up and I'll probably come up with a solution

@hdtv@bodybag.zip @kingu@mstdn.social
I've used Debian plenty of times lol

@dushman@den.raccoon.quest @kingu@mstdn.social Ok I'll be honest I use ubuntu-server and not debian but when I tell ppl that they shit on me ​​

@hdtv @kingu @dushman seems fair, i don't get the purpose of ubuntu when literally anything else exists

hell even their default installer is worse than a GUI driven one like what debian or fedora have

@7666@comp.lain.la @kingu@mstdn.social @dushman@den.raccoon.quest what is like, the main upside to using something other than it? My CPU usage is low, install is small, there's no gui, wide support. Idk it hasn't given me a single problem whatsoever on any of my containers

@hdtv @kingu @dushman less corporate trash in the image, less stupid naming schemes (why are they all fucking .04 anyway), easier installer, generally wider FOSS only support

@7666@comp.lain.la @kingu@mstdn.social @dushman@den.raccoon.quest no installer to a container

@hdtv @kingu @dushman yeah there is when it inevitably needs 40 config files injected at runtime for proper config at boot and another container just to proxy that container and another container for LE to run properly and yet another layer of NAT in between and bla bla bla bla

@7666@comp.lain.la @kingu@mstdn.social @dushman@den.raccoon.quest

Click make ct button
Set specs
Boots

Problem? ​​

@hdtv @kingu @dushman >click button

GUI lololol

@7666@comp.lain.la @kingu@mstdn.social @dushman@den.raccoon.quest "oooh containers are too complicated, but also I won't use the easy button 😭"

@hdtv @kingu @dushman unnecessary complexity is the killer of infra

a GUI just adds more complexity because you have no clue what that thing is doing behind the scenes so good luck debugging it when your button magically breaks

@7666 @hdtv @dushman @kingu >unnecessary complexity is the killer of infra
Hey wait a sec thats just like what a container is

@dcc @hdtv @dushman @kingu there is also a security argument to be made here in that sharing host resources such as the kernel and OS has a higher chance of host escape/compromise, vs traditional full virt where there's much less attack surface for each VM to hit the hypervisor somehow

think about the latest speculative execution CPU bugs as an example

@7666@comp.lain.la @dcc@annihilation.social @hdtv@bodybag.zip @kingu@mstdn.social
That is true but running everything on bare metal together is worse security wise lol

@7666@comp.lain.la @hdtv@bodybag.zip @kingu@mstdn.social
Like you do @dcc@annihilation.social

@dushman @7666 @kingu @hdtv Sir not everyone can afford to have many vm's nor is vm's the best solution for everything

@dcc@annihilation.social @7666@comp.lain.la @kingu@mstdn.social @hdtv@bodybag.zip
Just saying containers are still more secure than everything on bare metal together
