IMF stopping in here. Good job France! Couldn’t have done it better!

I’ve gotta go sign up some more countries for predatory loans and strangle some economies. Tootles!

The core stuff is getting better. Calendar, in particular.

AI/crypto is still dumb.

To run Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, or some other FOSS OS?

I’m running Fedora on a refurbished Thinkpad P1 Gen 4, and I’ve had good luck running Linux and the BSDs on higher end refurbished Dell Optiplex, Latitude, and Precision equipment.

Apple hardware is nice, and MacPorts gives me access to the vast majority of my *nix tools.

Shopping for new hardware I’d look at the list below to get Linux preinstalled.

• Thinkpad X1 Carbon
• Slimbook
• System76
• Tuxedo Computers
• Juno Computers
• Starlabs Systems

Or buy refurbed equipment from Dell or Lenovo.

I happen to like the term FOSS and would like to keep it around. It’s catchy.

Definitely time to kick out the corporatists though.

The big server is all about density and convenience. The thing will run many, many VMs without having to skimp on resources, and it will be easy to admin the VMs remotely.

I have plans to pick up a big workstation to replace the little desktops I have around, and it will be more convenient since getting as console on a VM is much easier. Servers might also have a BMC, which would help admin the server.
