I don’t know that the OP or anyone else necessarily disagrees with you here. It’s one of the reasons that I believe we’re fucked when the bubble pops. Every other sector is shrinking otherwise, which is only making the mania more extreme.

Trump has fucked the economy, but I don’t expect the next administration to be able to pull off a miracle and fix the mess we’ve created within the next 10 years. Foreign relations and our status as the reserve currency are shot to hell. The US is going to have to answer for our behavior.

Does anyone remember the wizard of Oz where Dorothy returns to oz and that Lady changes her head? That stuff creeped me out when I was little to no end. Not sure I ever even finished it.

2fa isn’t a panacea and won’t solve every problem. It does help though. Why do you think supply chain integrity isn’t something they care about?

Phoronix comments are always such a mixed bag. I get that something still running after 20 years is cool and all, but it’s not necessarily a good thing.

Personally, I usually take issue with the missing institutional knowledge on such projects. It doesn’t matter if it runs, it matters that we’re running something we can fix if it explodes.

I recently built some stuff with the latest gcc compiler that was written in c89, but still compiled. That’s pretty sweet and very convenient for us, but the flags and the commands aren’t documented at all. So we have to spelunk through ancient scripts to find the right incantations or worse, read the code. Because who needs docs for an internal tool ammirite?
