@scottalanmiller I'm sure you can get a croissant and coffee anywhere in the world these days Actually, I find the coffee in Israel much better than in NA, I bring a few pounds of the stuff with me every time I travel there

@scottalanmiller I think developers should focus on the product they are developing, and not on keeping up with the changes in the underlying OS

@bob-beatty azure questions are easy, the answer is always"move to aws"

@scottalanmiller said in IBM looking to acquire RedHat:

Yeah, I use it that way, too. Once in a while.

Yeah, well, it's just bad

@Donahue That's what I did the first time. Well, the binge didn't happen then because the last 4 books weren't written yet, but still. This time I decided to actually read, it's a very different experience

@obsolesce said in Testing oVirt...:

So then CentOS 8 too? Is that a reasonable assumption?

If dnf is in RHEL8, it will also be in CentOS8, no doubt.

Have you tried the existing free tools like odoo or partkeepr?

@Emad-R high income from the outside can make you happy almost anywhere, I doubt it's much of a real factor.

@jmoore said in Testing oVirt...:

@dyasny Lol I agree with that. People in many industries are constantly renaming things to make it sound new and raise the hype.

When I was working as an Openstack integration engineer, I had a little framed note on my desk. It read "there is no cloud, it's just someone else's computer"

I think it went the way of many Google products.

too bad, I'd love to have seen spiceworks taken down a notch.

@Mike-Davis it's all about having a balanced system (note, I'm not saying fair, just balanced). If the tax rate isn't murderous, and that provides me with healthcare I don't get an extra bill for, that works for me. Just like paying car insurance that isn't insanely expensive, and in case of an accident, being covered instead of going out on a limb. In Canada these things are more or less balanced. Again, not perfect, but well balanced enough for me to feel comfortable with.

@scottalanmiller said in What is Virtualization?:

This is a really big deal. To make a comparison, it is like how people would compare ZFS (filesystem, logical volume manager, RAID lumped into one) to XFS (just a filesystem.) Then say "can XFS do.... x, y, or z feature that isn't part of the ZFS filesystem" and it made ZFS look good simply because "XFS can't do that." But the XFS ecosystem did it very well, it just wasn't XFS itself doing whatever feature they were asking.

The unix way is to have one product doing one function and doing it well. This is a good and a bad thing really, but it definitely allows for faster development

@NerdyDad Nope, by then I'm just starting my own 6 month upgrade cycle. Because in 3-4 months a new Fedora will come out, I'll wait 2-3 months again, and then upgrade. Like a clock

@Mike-Davis said in Top Ten Happiest Places on Earth in 2019:

I like the Dutch system of health care vouchers. It gives everyone coverage, but is competitive because private companies compete for the voucher money.

It's like that in Israel - there are several private companies competing for customers, each has hospitals and clinics and whatnot. They aren't paid by the customers though, but by the portion of health taxes collected, relevant to their portion of the overall taxpaying population. If they want people subscribing to them, they have to provide good service, so there's healthy competition, and yet as a patient, I'm not paying any premiums, it's all in the tax. The only problem is, in Israel the taxes are insanely high (I was paying 56%) and could be much lower, but the system itself seems to work very well

@Dashrender said in What is Virtualization?:

Sure you do - along with the complexities that come with managing and maintaining your solution. But yep, you get to mix and match.

There's always a trade-off But practice shows the OSS way is more effective in the long run - even MS are moving towards that model, and so do all the tech giants who aren't there yet.

I find spiceworks extremely toxic, so I stopped going there.

@Nic this is the case in the US, true. In Israel it is not. All medical staff, except private clinics who do not participate in public healthcare, are covered. You never get billed for anything that is covered, no matter where you get treated, as long as it's at an institution that is part of the programme (most of them are) and your reason for treatment is justified and covered under the list of covered treatments (99% of the surgeries and things like cancer and AIDS are covered so no loopholes there).

@jmoore bringing linux out of sleep or suspend is also much faster

The Chernobyl series. Damn that thing takes me back to when I was a kid

I do all my monitoring with prometheus and grafana. Stats are saved, everything looks nice, and alerts are fully customizable. Can't complain
