lol of course asus would hang the little touchpad screen off of the first port with the main monitor being the secondary for real though, the os just sees screen 0 and screen 1, how is it supposed to know that the first is a weird touchpad hack job thing?

I think that the laptop designers didn't think it would be a problem because they assumed that users would not intentionally gently caress up their computer by installing a hobbyist server operating system on it

I’ve got a couple vms running centos 8 for effectively toy websites and I’m looking to switch away after ibm decided to gently caress everything up. I’m on digitalocean so my options appear to be: 1) Debian. This has a lot of issues thanks to dumb patches from idiots 2) FreeBSD: this is a dead platform Since this is just hobbyist bullshit I was thinking of going with FreeBSD but moving these servers is going to be a pain anyway I’d rather get something with a proper support lifecycle (i.e. why I picked centos in the first place). Is there a better recommendation? I can’t stay on centos and the alternatives suck. Thanks IBM

I mean, real answer here: You should be using a container anyways for the site, so who cares what distro the server is running, so long as it runs podman, K8s, or docker.

Yeah, if you have less than 16 servers, use redhat.

That and you can turn on and off your containers much faster than a full server.

I think I was poisoned by my first job being in performance critical windows software. The idea that you can just increase your binary size by a gig is wild. We got hassled over 500k. My second job was deploying Java to already-provisioned servers. the idea of a container sounds good on paper but I’m skeptical. Don’t have much to lose though, these are far from critical services and i only fix them when I notice they’re broke.

Don’t have much to lose though, these are far from critical services and i only fix them when I notice they’re broke. it's the best platform to test since you have the drive to get it working but none of the pressure to get it working right away  And if you find it not worth your while, at least you can say that you tried it. The Iron Rose posted:that's kinda the theme with where the industry is going, no? Ever increasing layers of abstraction from containers all the way down to electrically charged grains of sand. Yep. Until something breaks or acts out and you need to unravel all of that abstraction if you can't figure out what the problem is. Not to say that containers are bad or that there are any significant disadvantages. But it still adds another layer that has the tiny chance of being an issue later. The only code without bugs is the code that was never written. But that code won't get you paid, of course.

Telling a new engineer on the team to just smash in “docker-compose build && docker-compose up -d” and now all your code is ready to index and compile is wonderful.

Don’t have much to lose though, these are far from critical services and i only fix them when I notice they’re broke. its worth distinctioning that containerizing an application doesnt on its own increase the size of the binary that is executed, though there is indeed less capability to have only one copy of a shared library in memory for multiple instances of an application the container is a minimal set of system libraries and whatever is required to run the application in its own chroot (kind of), the fact that the atomic thing you deploy is a gig larger doesnt mean the application binary inside is and this deployment allows you to do things like use a container base image with newer gcc and glibc than whatever host system, and compile with lto even if the physical machines are running an os version with a toolchain too old to support that, etc.
