christ, imagine being so sad a person you build your special personality around a friggin OS.

Nah for a single vm i just use the ol’ pro key.

Fun fact: it will still validate on m$ servers

Why?

A lot of pieces of medical and industrial hardware have their controlling software written in VB and if you’re lucky it’s VB6…(and usually heavily dependent on openGL libraries)

Banking? That’s all COBOL and BASIC.

‘Rookie mistake’ applies colloquially in many situations that aren’t professional.

When someone asks you for advice on an OS, tech kit, or any other item you should be considering their use case, not your own.

Legit, at my current workplace one of the first things i did was update the very neglected hardware.

The IDRAC on the core server was so old i had to spin up an xp vm just to get a browser that would accept it so i could upgrade.

I think a verrrrrrry very large part of the problem is that the most vocal linux proselytisers have never actually had to do a job (or have, but done it very badly) where you have to tailor to the client.

Rookie mistake.

I run slack, alpine, freebsd, deb and mint for the gui testing on various servers personally and professionally.

I recommend kubuntu.

The linux user community is its own worst fucking enemy

I hate whitespace so fucking much. Why must i deal with yaml professionally

Yes. They stuck the barrel up my butt and threaten to pull the trigger. Gonna turn me into a big polo mint.

96% through recovering an attached 20tb RAID and windows update decides i should go fuck myself.

And that is why it’s only on my work laptop. And only because i’m forced at gunpoint

Windows treats user commands like most tech treats consent. Negotiable, ignorable.

Linux brooks no bullshit. The program will do as it is told.

Ipod (classic) Gen 4

Hahhaha sugar baby is in for one helluva shock when that gmilf passes and leaves everything to a cat shelter.

“I know you’re on holiday but can’t log into the vpn and a third party tech i hired needs your password for the pfsense”

Actual words said to me last week. Hollyyy shit.

I work from home. Checkmate!

Quite a lot of us

Hell i still run it. Apache server with no M or P. Uptime measured in decades

Ohhh i’m adding that
