Windows: “We dropped support for that thing you bought brand new 5 years ago”

Linux: “We are considering dropping support for something that has existed for longer than you had”

ok, my age is NULL

It doesn’t make a lot of sense for LetsEncrypt to spend time adding support for such certs, since both a domain name and a cert from another CA are cheaper than buying an IPv4 block

certificates can only be obtained for domain names

That is not true, nothing prevents it on the technical side, and even some trusted CAs sell them under certain conditions

you can also accomplish that by turning off city’s electrical grid

I wonder how a recipe to make baked beans ended up in Copilot’s training sample

You can’t read documentation if there is no documentation

I tried building lemoa with simple cargo build, and it says it needs libadwaita 🤔

I switched from GNOME 3 a long time ago, and emulating GNOME’s workflow would be the last thing I would want

A friendly reminder that after more than 3 years since libadwaita’s announcement it still doesn’t provide a way to make it look less horrible and out of place anywhere outside of GNOME’s walled garden

I wonder what is the last rule there…

IMO quality courses wouldn’t cost 0.62 euros each.

Inaccurate, this error fits on one screen

those who do not want to pay for the time, effort and resources going into RHEL

Standard RHEL server subscription costs 800$/year, a ridiculous price for an individual to pay (yeah I know it’s called Enterprise Linux, but still)

those who want to repackage it for their own profit

Funny considering that AlmaLinux OS Foundation is a non-profit

The developer subscription provides no-cost RHEL to developers and enables usage for up to 16 systems, again, at no-cost

Until RedHat decides to pull the rug, just like it already did with CentOS

Also:

The first thing to understand is that you cannot renew your no-cost Red Hat Developer Subscription for individuals after the first year. Unlike a paid subscription, the no-cost edition for developers is limited to one year.

So, what’s a developer to do? Fortunately, that’s easy: You can just register again. Yes, it’s that simple. Once your developer subscription expires, simply re-register and get a new, no-cost subscription. Note that you must wait until your current subscription expires before you can renew it.

Simply rebuilding code, without adding value or changing it in any way

Yeah, I think setting up build and distribution infrastructure is not adding any value

so they can’t bork their system

not tech savy people: you underestimate my power

The check $LEMMY_HOSTNAME == http* will give a false positive if (for whatever reason) the domain name starts with http
