Yep, Bob; there’s a leak…

5 days to boot. Damn. The dedication to get it to work is amazing

I hope he doesn’t have to patch it….

As above; intel will be SO much easier

Macs don’t have a bios. But they boot easily into Linux (again intel)

Enjoy

Sort of like the difference between the cathedral and a bazaar?

Um. Yep both of those are good.

Orders a <null>

You must have your years supply of food and ammo just like the prophet told us…

Yep. And even I did it in my post. Notice what is missing?

Test your backups!

Agreed… Yes, and… specific to backups all the encryption….

Your production stuff, yes should be as well

Would that be sufficient

No.

3-2-1

Three copies; your working copy, and a cloud copy, and (as an example) on and external HD that you keep at a friend’s house….

On two separate media… so yes cloud can cover that

One off site. So yeah cloud covers that.

Encryption on your off site copies. Yeah I don’t care if they are Linux ISOs or your grandmas recipes. ENCRYPTED

Thanks for coming to my TED talk

Is there a thing that you do?

Are you looking to sysadmin or dev or something else?

Libreoffice. Librewolf but then I deal with students… ymmv

We do a quarterly test.

I have the DB guy make a change, I nuke it and ensure I can restore it.

For us. I don’t work for Veeam, while I don’t like their licensing. Veeam is pretty good

Hth

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Yeah. It is kinda hard.

Backups. First and foremost.

Now once that is sorted, what if your DB gets corrupted. You test your backups

Learn how to verify and restore

It is a hassle. That’s why there is a constant back and forth between on prem and cloud in the enterprise

We make it a drinking game…

Whenever a salespeople or a demo uses weasel language. DRINK!

Thank you. I’m totally going to steal “Tech debt reduction “. Ffs

While I appreciate that these benchmarks matter to someone; I’m more interested in hey it runs and is reasonably supported, not requiring hand rolling any config

Hey this XX runs fine.

Thanks. I’m aware of the actual lifespan.

I must have dropped that…

With the lack of moisture and high sodium, the hamburger is immortal; the fridge will suffer a circuit board failure when the power goes out; and those trucks are designed to be planned obsolete in 5 years

So hell if I know. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sigh, kinda… but don’t forget to factor in your backup costs too

Tee hee. Maybe you could go to Circuit City?

Sorry.

Doing no research, you might find a third party book that has a cd dvd ?

What issues does Ubuntu LTS have that you need to overcome?

What use case ? - desktops for office work, music production, a student lab?

FWIW. Kubuntu is my favorite, generally used for research and reading, light web mail.
