Red Hat defends its CentOS decision, claims Stream version can cover '95% of current user workloads'

Re: How to switch?

"The subtle differences" LOL A good Linux admin will easily understand the nuances between different distros. Many of the comments to this article really reveal a lot about the "market" for CentOS.

Re: Wow

Cringe. It's naive to evaluate an entire OS based on one particular network tool or other tools that might be provided as defaults. Many tools exist and a good sysadmin will know then all and how to choose the most appropriate ones.

As a long-time Debian user I stand back and watch and think to myself about all the CentOS fans "You get what you deserve". It's not like you all didn't know what you were dealing with the entire time.

Linux 5.10 to make Year 2038 problem the Year 2486 problem

How is this a fix for "Linux"? It is a patch to the optional XFS filesystem which yes is included in the Linux kernel, along with multiple other filesystems. XFS is not even used by default when installing any major Linux distros. It has to be manually selected.

Trump U-turns on foreign student crackdown: F-1, M-1 visa holders allowed to study online mid-pandemic in the US

Treason

This is treason against the people of the United States. Trump is a sell out and no better than Biden. There is no choice. America is finished as a country.

Welcome to life in the Fossa lane: Ubuntu 20.04 let out of cage and Shuttleworth claims Canonical now 'commercially self sustaining'

Go Ubuntu!

Go Ubuntu!

WSL is a waste. Last time I tried it it was nowhere close to Cygwin in terms of functionality. For example, you couldn't even run services on it. I don't use Windows anymore, but if I did I would use Cygwin and not mess with WSL at all since it can actually mess with Cygwin.

Already in final beta? That's Madagascar: Ubuntu 20.04 'Focal Fossa' gets updated desktop, ZFS support

I *will* not pronounce it "foosa". If whoever created the spelling for it wanted it pronounced that way, they should have spelled it that way. If the claim is made that that is the way it is pronounced in whatever dialect that is supposed to be, then it isn't English.

I hope you guys will do a proper review of Kubuntu 20.04 as well.

Dot-com price rises on their way over the next four years: ICANN approves Verisign contract, walks off with $20m

Registration should be non-profit by law

It should be illegal to profit from domain name registration. Meet operating expenses, ok. Profit, absolutely not. This is so corrupt it's outrageous.

Capital One 'hacker' hit with fresh charges: She burgled 30 other AWS-hosted orgs, Feds claim

I always wonder what's the appeal of accessing data like that? Unless the intention is overtly criminal - for example to sell the data on the black market - what other appeal is there? Just to get away with it? To be l33t? Whatever it is, it's l4m3.
