she’ll just go back to the old Mac

Let her? Why are you controlling what OS she runs? She had a working setup she liked.

Yeah - I mean it’s technically “not ideal” but I simply don’t have any issues. I did have a windows computer that once complained about there being two devices on the network with the same IP but it didn’t stop it from working with it. I think that was some security software installed on that system though. This is the “less than ideal” part - it will look a bit suspicious if you have any security software that scans network traffic because “arp poisoning” is a common attack (basically stealing an IP address).

Metric seems to cause Linux to mostly arp reply on one interface. Not a lot of switching. I can even plug in an Ethernet cable during a network transfer to speed it up.

Linux treats ips as assigned to the host,so any interface can respond for packets sent to another interface (even if they have different ip addresses).

There is some network weirdness that a security scanner might complain about, but it “works”.

I’ve done this for years with no failover. Linux doesn’t care, zero issues.

Oh this article again? Has it been a year already?

Your data can be encrypted with a ransomware attack. Including your backups. Your memory searched for browser cached passwords and account names.

You’re not with the effort? The effort is practically 0 these days. Bots written by AI don’t care. And your compute resources can be used to do more harm.

It used to be. I think it changed at some point to make installs easier for new people who were used to only having a single C:.

It’s a kernel feature with some user-space utilities.

It also seems to be a “RedHat” thing primarily - Debian systems tend to prefer apparmor. You may have been noticing that instead?

It’s awesome, but very complicated to use and overkill for most homegamer setups.

The first interaction most people have with it is when it stops something they want to do from working and it’s not obvious why. Then the first selinux command they learn is how to disable it.

Wut? No.

OMG 🤣

It’s not up to the systemd team to decide for you what your risk tolerance is. They’re just providing a means to be compliant should you want/need it.

Oh my God… I feel for this poor company after you leave. 🤣

For… a date field?

Because it’s a legal requirement in some areas now.

Yeah - it “makes sense” but getting from logical to legislation is a bitch. People don’t like “new taxes” and working out the details would be tricky. Do you apply it to ICE automobiles as well? If so do you reduce the gas tax? If so you’ll be giving a potential benefit to gas guzzlers. etc.

It’s not a bad idea - though it does add the overhead of some new bureaucracy. Somebody will need to gather that data yearly. Maybe could be done as part of auto inspections though.

Which sounds reasonable until you think about what costs we refuse to externalize (road repair) and which costs we happily externalize (pollution).

The fact is that road maintenance is funded in part by a gas tax and we’re increasingly adding vehicles to the road that do not pay gas tax. The road maintenance is still there and I’m sure EV drivers will want it to be done as well. Go over to a /c/bicycles forum and ask them how willing they are to subsidize any road maintenance and you’ll figure out quickly why we do something akin to a “use tax” on roads using gasoline as a proxy.

My excuse for what?
