i would presume that would be what one is to do. It seems the logical solution here.

simply put it into a canon.

people do this stuff?

Guess we need to pick up the pace then.

stalin lasted quite a bit, he was also insane, but it was really post stalin that shit kinda went fucky.

i feel like there have to be at least three, from his (family? Does he have one? I believe he does, but can’t be bothered to check)

to someone in the company, perhaps there are numerous positions that exist solely to prevent this kind of hostile takeover from happening? Who knows!

gaben is a smart man, i doubt that he isn’t aware of his own mortality, and presumably has someone who he trusts, that he will appoint the position.

it’s a rather weird concept, but it makes sense. If you want to standardize, let’s say, threaded hardware across the continental US that you would inherently need to do away with any closed standards, assuming you want it to actually work, and along with that, whatever you settle on, needs to be open.

You could theoretically do this with closed source, but the problem here is that there will be someone that comes along and does it with open source, and if it’s better, you’re fucked. And if it’s equal, and cheaper, you’re fucked. And if it’s marginally worse, but trivial to adopt, you’re fucked.

yeah, the general rule of thumb seems to be that if it’s universal, it needs to be open. The farther niche it goes, the less open it has to be, on principle of utility. Open standards are only good people it’s so easy for them to get accepted. That’s why closed standards often just don’t go very far.

Now the vast majority of phones run open source Android.

to be fair, this was almost certainly a reaction to the iphone. Still open, so there’s that.

Seems like the cycle is either:

• someone has a good idea, it’s open source.
• someone has a good idea, it’s closed source, someone else makes something similar, but open source.

considering that this is a bsd user, yeah makes sense.

Coming from a self hoster, shits up when it’s up. Otherwise it’s down.

I charge nothing and you expect no guarantees of service :)

i don’t know if i really like that definition. Going by the definition of a laboratory, it doesn’t really make much sense. I mean sure they’re a sterile environment, but it’s incredibly unlikely that a lab is wiped clean and built from scratch, unless you get millions of dollars, and a lot of free time, i guess.

A lab is merely a place to do work with regard to studying, learning, or improving something.

People often refer to their “homelab” as an entire server rack, you want me to believe that people are willing to wheel out their entire server rack and discard the entire fucking thing? I doubt it. A homelab is just a collection of gear, (usually commercial networking gear) intended for providing an environment for you to mess around with things and learn about stuff.

In some capacity a homelab has to be semi permanent, if not for anything other than actually testing reliability and functionality of services and hardware, for the actual services themselves, because a part of the lab, is the service itself.
