Bbbbut, they also sell a payroll & HR system that is somehow even worse than SAP’s! The main goal of all their Fusion Cloud junk seems to be producing consulting fees, because it’s impossible to get anything to work without them.

Maaan, I read The Cuckoo’s Egg by Cliff Stoll recently and was more than a little jealous of what y’all got to experience. Sounds like it was a blast : )

Sheesh, your self talk sounds just like mine, sorry for that and the upbringing that molded it : (. Check out ThePlantSlant on tiktok/YT, Liam has a lot of shorts about improving your relationship with food and that might be a good avenue to explore. If you are in the US and your family is in a position to be able to arrange liposuction treatment, the involvement & conversations with medical professionals would probably help more than anything. I suspect that would be less true outside the US and western Europe though.

Yeah, I’d never seen it used in this way either. They use it mostly to modify config files, which gives you a lot of control over most things on a Linux box. We also use it for Macs to do things like create a standardized local administrator account (since Apple doesn’t have a LAPS equivalent). It’s a pretty tangled web but we have an old-school Linux admin who keeps it all ticking (we just worry about his ticker!).

Good luck!

I work in a higher ed org that uses a mix of (mostly) Red Hat servers and Windows & Mac endpoints; the Linux-focused admins use Ansible for things I’d do with either GPOs (if it’s something tried & true) or Intune (if it’s some half-baked newness and campus IT would actually give my group the permissions) in Windows.

Does that page have any actual content between the ads?

I didn’t read it as smug, in that case they would’ve provided the spelling correction without the explanation (reddit-style). Here I feel like they’re just being friendly to people for whom English is a second language.

I do appreciate your explanation, it is clear enough to make Admiral Cloudberg proud : ). (if you don’t get the reference, check out her Medium articles, they’re fantastic!)

Phooey, I am old enough to get this reference!
