Because I don't trust someone else to not train or steal our source code, or, even legally, introduce some silly cause after we are invested/locked into their infra, that allows them to do whatever with our property. And on equal

Ah, you assumed I meant SaaS GitLab. I meant the self-hosted version. I would never host our source code on a remote service.

We don't even know what human consciousness is. We can't even answer if we have free will or not. And you are proposing that AGI..is what exactly ?

Weird, I feel I'm talking to an LLM with a limited context window. >>Centos didn’t go away. It changed. Rocky (et. al.) took the old centos role, and >>I see this as a win/win for everybody. >>Ubuntu is the disas

You actually said Rocky was a successor to CentOS as well, which is what I responded to. As someone that tried to upgrade CentOS to Rocky, I can tell you that it may succeed it in name only, if that's what you meant. Physically you hav

So what's your point then ? That these are toy/homelab distros ? If so, then we are in agreement

And knowing all this you still can't see what the use case might be for BSD ?

by gtech1 7mo ago
So then what's the point of mentioning Rocky as CentOS's successor ? In what way is it 'succeeding' ? That you can do a fresh install of Rocky ? And those stuck on CentOS can't upgrade ? Really useful those decades

I actually laughed out loud. Try upgrading CentOS to Rocky vs FreeBSD 11 to 15 ( that's FOUR major versions from 2017 I think ), and tell me again how good it is. In LTS environments where I need to upgrade OS's, FreeBSD is a no-b

Bingo. Most of my employees come from big tech (not faang, but big corps ) where they felt they couldn't really deliver what they wanted and what they're capable of. These guys love to not just code, but to create and deliver stuf

This is fascinating, assuming you are both natives of Poland. Is there as much language variance in Poland as in, say, Italy ?

by gtech1 8mo ago
How does this happen ? The poster above you isn't really Polish ? How can someone that claims to know Polish not know there's two different words ?

1. You use 'ex' to mean except ? In common parlance ex means 'example'. So your phrase becomes: National treasures (example gold) were returned in '35 and '56. Which is what I responded to. Gold was part bars a

You have no idea what you are talking about. 1. They never returned 92tons of gold. The vast majority of the national treasure is still in Moscow. I hope the EU ties this to the current Russian assets frozen in the EU. 2. Bolsheviks ? Russi

Hah, and me who thought they only stole Romania's national treasure, under the guise of 'safekeeping'. I guess Russia has always been a shitty country.
