Yes. Just today. And every day of the last 26 years. GMail delivery is no big deal. but outlook freaks out in ways I just don’t care to solve.

setup

‘set up’, my dude. Two words, as a verb.

Neither. Both have fundamental issues toward confident updates and validation of software, speaking as someone who used to run the security response for an Enterprise OS vendor.

I’m looking at CloudStack now, and it’s got some promise despite one odd glitch. I may try to stick with it .

Containers carry concerns around validation of container contents and, by extension, host contents. This has been well-discussed and is beyond the scope here.

But I do hope for an installation free of container mess.

Man, I sure hope they’re free of the container crutch.

ppl

I hate the kid-pidgin, but you make a really good point here:

it’s good to stop for second and consider what one’s needs actually are.

I mean, this is always excellent.

Too often - you’ll see it in this comment thread - we go all out and show our own solution would fit OP’s case. And to them it must sound like “if you want a coke from the sev(7-eleven, like circle-k, Ted) you’re gonna need a van, a really big spring, a holocaust cloak and a wheelbarrow for sure.”

Considering OP’s situation, skill level, fuckery tolerance and perseverance is key. Resilio could be all they need, here – Not elegant, not D.R.Y, not pretty, but its fuckery is low (good g.o.l.f number), but it could be fire-and-forget.

Now, I’m not sure you’re not replying to a comment that says the same thing …just, not as well. Still good advice.

I’ve used all 3 in production (and even Puppet) and watched Ansible absolutely surge onto the scene and displace everyone else in the enterprise space in a scant few years.

Popular isn’t always better. See: Betamax/VHS, Blu-ray vs HDDVD, skype/MSSkype, everything vs Teams, everything vs Outlook, everything vs Azure. Ansible is accessible like DUPLO is accessible, man, and with the payola like Blu-ray got and the pressuring like what shot systemd into the frame, of course it would appeal to the C-suite.

Throwing a few-thousand at Ansible/AAP and the jagged edges pop out – and we have a team of three that is dedicated to Nagios and AAP. And it’s never not glacially slow – orders of magnitude slower than absolutely everything.

have to learn MCL’s weird syntax

You skewer two apps for syntax, but not Ansible’s fucking YAML? Dood. I’m building out a layered declarative config at the day-job, and it’s just page after page with python’s indentation fixation and powershell’s bipolar expressions. This is better for you?

Ansible is next on my list of things to learn.

Ansible is y2k tech brought to you in 2010. Its workarounds for its many problems bring problems of their own. I’d recommend mgmtconfig, but it’s a deep pool if you’re just getting into it. Try Chef(cinc.sh) or saltstack, but keep mgmtconfig on the radar when you want to switch from 2010 tech to 2020 tech.

PClinuxOS is a far derivative of redhat via Mandriva, itself Conectiva and Mandrake, both of them RHL (not RHEL) forks.

And it’s free of Systemd. And it’s rolling.

I ran sysvinit on a 4mb daily-driver machine forever. That’s not a flex; that’s just a comparison for bloat since sysvinit wasn’t using but a tiny portion of that. What the hell can lennart’s cancer offer at the cost of at least 5x the ram used by an entire OS and apps?

that would require that level [of] lightness for a distro

Goal Of Least Fuckery.

Wow.

It’s

• built bad
• … by the uncooperative
• … for the wrong reasons
• incredibly frail
• indivisible
• a logically incomplete and unsound replacement for everything it supplants
• the poster-child for bad ideas pushed into the mainstream with browbeating and gaslighting

Infrastructure orchestration with kubes and mgmtConfig from bazel for Ai, and he can build it up like that if he was airlifted into the jungle with a laptop and a Google DC truck. BSc, BEng, MSc, in 6 years via our military officer programme; which means he could probably plan and mount a strong defence of his architecture on a whiteboard with markers or in the mud with troopies. Whip-smart, this one guy. Resume with all the FAANGs on them.

We have been consistently baffled; like, does he want a real wage, or did he broil the neighbour and eat a leftover leg during the interview?
