  • I know others will expand on this, but in the past there were two main “bases”: Debian and Enterprise Linux (EL). The main differences were their package managers and how the handled things in init.d and configuration like networking. This was due to how they made their modules iirc.

    So a lot of distros forked off of these two bases rather than reinvent the wheel. Ubuntu is based off of Debian and CentOS based off of RHEL.

    There’s probably more nuances but that should give you an idea.

    We tried that. It didn’t work. They just said “fuck your feelings”, they said “cry your liberal tears”. Everyone most people tried to take the high road, show that “we’re better than that”. But it didn’t do a lick of good. So I’m gonna enjoy this win and gloat about it.

    What? No. This is complete hyperbole and speculation, and off at that too. Their Authenticator is used for personal accounts as well as managing 3rd party TOTP tokens. It’s no different than Google Authenticator, DUO Authenticator or Okta Authenticator. I could see that on a far end if they come out with a business only version, but given that everything is backed on their same platform it doesn’t behoove them to do that.







  • I’m torn on this. I’m “white”-ish enough, no kids, can’t get pregnant (or anyone pregnant) and I’m in the top 10%… so would anything for me fundamentally change? No…. I could stick my head in the sand and ignore it, but that’s really not me and it freaking breaks my heart to see all the people it impacts.

    So I see one of three things:

    1. Try to ignore it and keep voting blue and on policies to help those where i can
    2. go one step further and put my money where my mouth is and help run an Underground Railroad for those who need to get to blue states while they still have the rights
    3. flee to another country

    I don’t really want to think about it, but it’s been at the back of my head.
