Naturally, I could look it up, but what is Azure Linux?

Is it a fork of RHEL? Cloud Linux? FreeBSD?

Edit: Here it is.

In a similar approach to Fedora CoreOS, Azure Linux only has the basic packages needed to support and run containers. Common Linux tools are used to add packages and manage security updates. Updates are offered either as RPM packages or as complete disk images that can be deployed as needed. Using RPM allows adding custom packages to a base Azure Linux image to support additional features and services as needed. Notable features include an iptables-based firewall, support for signed updates, and a hardened kernel.

I talk about participation in another comment, coincidentally.

The “political class” of an anarchical state as I’ve described would be rotationary.

We in the United States have “Jury Duty”, where the average citizen is required by law to be selected to be part of a “jury of peers” on legal cases if the defendant exercises their right to a trial by jury.

Jurors can be struck down (relieved of their duty) for many reasons in the jury selection phase by attorneys, the judge, or submitting documentation on why they can’t perform their duty.

A corollary compulsory service or duty could be applied to the positions in the three branches of government we have in our current constitutional structure.

We would effectively shift from being a constitutional federal republic (on paper; in practice, the current form of government is a plutocracy) to a constitutional aleatory republic. We would have representative governance, but they’d be subject to review, competency approval, and votes of confidence.

One could also imagine ranked-choice voting and mandatory direct referendums regarding crucial policy decisions. Lobbyists must present their legal proposals to jurist-representatives and the general public, mitigating the efficacy of monetary influence in political speech and advertising.

Taking the definition at its etymological root, all anarchy means is “without rule”.

In my head-canon, that doesn’t necessarily mean the lack of laws, state, institutions or governance; the implication is that there are no citizens or individuals with permanently elevated authority in the polity of government. Without rulers.

Many, of course, disagree with this mostly on the basis of practicality, but I’d like to think it’s another way to describe the concept of “No gods, no kings, no masters, no slaves.”

Very true, but I submit that the wisdom of “clean as you cook” is obvious on day 2.

On the contrary, I think it would be the best place for it.

I know, and I thought I’d join in with “But now that you mention it…”

Ah, I meant actual “greatest of all time” of music, of which I hope the figure skater doesn’t really believe that about Taylor Swift.

But now that you mention it…

It’s really just an amortization or, perhaps, an atomization of effort; sadly many don’t really value the benefits of that behavior.

I wonder if she really believes Swift is the actual “GOAT” of music. I imagine (and hope) no, probably.

Edit: Ah, my first downvoted comment. I feel strangely content that it happened over a musical opinion.

Lukewarm take: if you don’t make some effort to clean up to have less of a mess while you cook, you’re not competent enough to be in the kitchen.

~Just my opinion; don’t burn me at the stake.~

And what we have foremost in common is that enemy: the <redacted>. He’s an enemy to all of us. I know some you all think that some of them aren’t enemies.

Time will tell.

The hope for them is that one day, after proving their ability to suffer a boot upon their neck, they will have proved themselves worthy to put their boot on someone’s neck.

How does one perpetuate slavery?

Turn some of the slaves into masters.

U.S. Oil Industry is largely reluctant to re-invest in Venezuela.

Lots of companies are eager to spend in Venezuela — except the ones Trump most needs

“The most enthusiastic are among the least prepared and least sophisticated,” said one industry official familiar with the responses the White House is receiving.

The next paragraph says:

The institute said those figures support the possibility that CBA3656 reacted with nanoplastics in the intestine and promoted their excretion from the body, thus exhibiting high nanoplastic biosorption efficiency.

Is everyone in commercial software development finally saying, “Fuck it, we’ll run the shit ourselves”?

I’m an infrastructure and devops noob here; take my words with a grain of salt.

I need GPU clusters with ECC VRAM for research and found it’s cheaper to just have my own high-ish performance compute in my own office I paid for once than pay AWS/Azure/GCS/etc forever or at least everytime I want to train a custom DNN model. Sometimes I use Linode but it’s for monitoring. But I can run shit at will and I have data sovereignty.

Has the paradigm shifted back to developing and serving things in-house now that big tech vendor-lock/tie-ins have so many dark patterns that scalability isn’t cost-effective with them? Or is it just my own pipe dream?
