This is such a weird redirect. Biden seems to have pardoned a large amount of low level marijuana offenders.

So yes, there is a difference between what Trump is doing and what Biden is doing.

It’s a strange article. Really focused around gas prices and little about food/home prices.

People can’t eat gas. The impact of a 5% to 10% increase in basic food prices is extreme on most income levels. Especially when you consider families with children.

I'm really curious at how everyone is approaching scalability/reliability/redundancy at scale.

We are in the midst of a 10k VM migration to AWS and GCP and it's definitely challenging.

Balancing the speed of the migration itself VS not ending up lift and shiftong workloads is difficult.

I'm currently reading up on this, but I'm struggling to match a use case.

It's not Openstack. It's not VMware. It's not kubernetes. It's not proxmox. It's not Xen. It's not Anthos. It's not GCDE. It's not Outposts.

So who and what is it for? Where is the use case that none of these other products fit the bill?

Especially for an on premise use case.

That's interesting. I'm not sure where the technicality resides. If that situation is the case, I assume that it would be quite catastrophic for anyone using non-Russian services for IT.

What do you mean by unable to pay? Would it not just be more expensive? Assuming the banks will convert your transactions when you pay.

The Russian banks seem to have stockpiled currency, so I assume they will be able to keep the loop going.

The only way I would be comfortable deploying Openstack in a large scale enterprise structure is a pre-packaged solution from Red Hat/Canonical.

There is just so much that can go wrong and so much that goes into maintaining the life cycle.

Frankly, at this point in time of the industry, your business case better drive the need for on premise computing. If it doesnt --> AWS/gcp/azure

Software longevity is something that I have bene thinking about for a little bit.

At $dayjob, we use Openstack, an open source cloud infrastructure project.

It's a pretty complicated set of projects that interact to each other in order to provide multi-tenancy for virtual machines at scale.

It was initially all the rage, before the cloud starting really picking up steam.

So now, you have a massive project that is slowly losing traction, but also relying on that notoriety to gain developers.

So, I think Linus point is quite valid. These small, low risk, low value patches are essential in having a healthy community around a product.

They help easing your way into a codebase, developpement flow and all the other idiosyncrasies of established tech circles.

I'm surprised that you had that much placement on a single compute.

I do believe there are ways to prevent that compute failure domain at the VM creation with placementgroups

It's mind boggling that selling VPN services became a thing. Was I the NSA or any state level actor, selling a VPN service as a front seems the best thing to do to cast a pretty wide net.
