It’s extremely context-dependent.

If we’re talking about enterprise-grade, five-nines reliability: I want the absolute simplest, bare-bones, stripped down, optimized infra I can get my hands on.

If we’re talking about my homelab or whatever else non-critical system: I’m gonna fuck around and play with whatever I feel like.

Fair point, and I agree.

But it also does need to be pointed out that building up the logistical pipelines that can create and sustain a truly viable and credible defense posture independent of the US is not going to be a cheap or fast process. Yes, Europe has benefited immensely in an economic sense from effectively delegating large parts of its defense infrastructure and policy to the US via NATO… but it’s pretty clear that era is ending (or really, has ended).

I’m just shocked more European countries didn’t take it more seriously the first time he got elected.

I’ve been warning colleagues and leadership about this for a couple years now. It baffles me that people don’t understand they’re hollowing out the whole discipline of computer science and engineering, at large. The knock-on effects are going to be - and i know this sounds hyperbolic, but I stand by it - incalculable.

I guess I’ll just retire in a decade as an Elder Techpriest…? Who even knows at this point.

Did you miss the part where pretty much the whole fucking UN lined up behind SK because they were the ones who were attacked? And how the security council voted overwhelmingly (after the Soviets stormed out, but the meeting did not conclude) to support SK? And how 63 different countries gave SK some form of direct military assistance?

But by all means - continue spewing your bad faith misinformation diatribe.

Lmao dude who stans for North Korea, honestly? I bet you’re gonna tell me the best party is a juche party, because a juche party is mandatory

I would partially base it on tax records, honestly.

And yes, I’m specifically trying to exclude billionaires who declare their residency in zero income tax states; they’re specifically trying to evade societal responsibility in the form of tax avoidance, so we should avoid making them a part of our society.

Clearly there’s more nuance to be implemented, but I think addressing wealth inequality very pointedly at a foundational level would be a GREAT idea.

So, explicitly maintain the societal shadow-rung of illegal immigrants…? Can’t say I love continuing to underwrite that idea.

You must be fun at parties

Aw cmon rheinmetall, seriously?

AFAIK my instance never has and never will federate with Threads, so…
