If it's something you are using regularly enough, you would likely hit a point of diminishing returns pretty quickly. I only bother emptying tanks if I know I'm not going to use the equipment for a while.

In theory yes, but you have to be pretty careful with that too. I work for a small engine repair shop, and we have stuff coming in all the time that people swear to God only ever runs ethanol free. Then when we test the gas, we find ethanol and water.

We talked to some gas truck drivers, and apparently there is a lot of cross contamination, so even if you're pumping out of an ethanol free pump, you might still be getting ethanol. We're telling people that it's still best practice to empty your tank and run the engine dry if you're not going to use the equipment for a while.

What you're referring to as "Twitter" is achtually "X, the service formerly known as Twitter" 🤓

I am serious, and don't call me Shirley.

Absolutely no excuse that this happened, but I believe the point he is trying to make is that they didn't make any money on it. Still a shitty thing to let happen, and it should simply never have happened at all, but it's still better than if they had sold it and made a profit, I guess.

On a related note, the website cheat.sh is also a great resource. Just curl it with the command you want to learn about as the endpoint.

For example, if I want to learn about grep, just open a terminal and

$ curl cheat.sh/grep

And a short and sweet description with examples will be returned.

Alphabet, Microsoft, Meta. Pretty much all the big tech companies really need a visit from the FTC.

I'm assuming that this would primarily be used on a headless system, but I'm curious if this would be feasible for use with a desktop environment as well.

If the performance isn't hit too bad and it's not too buggy, I could see myself potentially doing something like that on Silverblue or MicroOS. That way if my userspace ever becomes too cluttered or broken, I can just spin up a new container without completely reinstalling.

A little over a week ago, SUSE also announced they would be releasing their own binary compatible RHEL clone with $10 million of backing. So it looks like they were planning to take advantage of this uproar from the beginning.

I don't think the shareholders care a whole lot unless stuff like this actually costs them customers. I am curious to know what some of the Red Hat developers think about this whole situation, though.

 

CIQ (Rocky Linux), Oracle, and SUSE announce a new trade association dedicated to providing source code for building RHEL compatible distributions.

The formation of OpenELA arises from Red Hat's recent changes to RHEL source code availability.

The FBI shot and killed a 75 year old man in Provo, Utah. The man had recently threatened to assassinate Joe Biden and also Alvin Bragg. The FBI was serving a warrant for his arrest, but the man was allegedly armed, and he was shot. https://apnews.com/article/utah-biden-fbi-assassination-threat-ba3cc1d3b2f6cca8bd429febdcf04219
