And although you get five years security support for Ubuntu LTS, on a prod server that goes by surprisingly quick. After that if you want to stay secure you're talking a full upgrade (not always possible on a prod server) or paying for ESM via Ubuntu Pro.

And a really good little feature of Rocky is they include security metadata for update --security which CentOS does not. This makes crucial updates a breeze.

Ubuntu Pro support is basically $1k per machine for Enterprise use. At this point, just run Debian. Or Rocky, or anything really.

Why, yes, this is a subject I get testy about, why do you ask?

There is a vast difference between someone not understanding a problem and them making no effort to understand that problem. That they *should* know something in the estimation of others has no relevance as to whether they do know it.

This isn't a barracks, you don't need to yell at people or humiliate them to get them to understand, there's no need for it.

The height of this attitude is best portrayed by ESR's essay here:

There's a *lot* of attitude in there. It's easy to see how someone can be seduced by it because it depicts a position of superiority, but this is little to do with solving problems.

I have personally encountered it on the Arch forums, and the FreeBSD forums. Hostility to users asking legitimate questions on the assumption they've not put any leg work in - whether they have or not. Treating everyone like shit == treating everyone the same is no way to run things.

I see both ends of this. One of my work responsibilities is managing the level 1 Helpdesk people and I get their frustrations, but you can't let a few less motivated users set the tone for how you treat people, because this leads to. bad attitudes.

If your idea of solid, worthy voluntary contribution is twats trolling forums with gatekeeping RTFM bullshit then your community isn't worth shit, brother.

This makes me laugh - a user scalds a forum dickhead for the usual 'RTFM noob OMG' bullshit and of course gets an official slap on the wrist. Never change, open source.

My 6yr old has these little plushies for every planet in the solar system. He's made a bed for one out of an old Amazon box, with paper sheets, and is calling it his baby. I had to kiss it goodnight last night (it's Pluto, for those curious)

Nice night sky for the dog walk.

A good opening race in Bahrain. Strong first race energy in that some teams were not quite where they should be. #f1

Absolutely spectacular footage from a 1981 Lotus 87 being hustled around Spa Francorchamps. Seriously exciting if you're an #F1 fan of a certain age.

A week of interviewing staff. I honestly hate it. You can't employ all of them. Some tech jobs get a huge slice of candidates smack in the middle of the bell curve and it comes down to basically whether you like them, then how much more you liked them over the others.
