I setup Linux Mint on an old HP laptop for my 7 year old. Things jist worked out of the gate. She doesn't use it for much else other than Roblox (Sober), Minecraft, YouTube, and OBS (to record videos - NOT stream), but it's teaching her how to use the keyboard and mouse and navigate by using something other than touch on a tablet. It also teaches her the basics of window managemen: minimizing, maximizing, putting them side-by-side, which has been a big adjustment but she's quickly gaining proficiency.


It's supposedly the opinion of Oracle that the CDDL is GPL-compatible and that's the reason they won't do that.


I would not rely on the non-binding opinion of a company known for deploying its lawyers in aid of revenue generation



That wasn't exactly the answer.


Yeah, I agree based in rewatching that I've either misrecalled the original material, or I got it from another source.

I agree that based on that source, it's more like "meh, we don't really care" (until they do)


Oracle didn't follow that with DTrace. They changed the license away from CDDL when they integrated it into Oracle Linux.


Bitwarden is pretty usable, we use it at our org, and while still has a rough edge or two for corporate use, gets better all the time.


And can run a local webserver to expose an API (though they still need to tighten up security on it)


Nope.


Can you tell me how I'm misunderstanding this?

Fedora would seem to be an unusual choice given its 6 month lifecycle, and I would have expected an EU-based distro to use something like OpenSUSE.


I remember another brand, JTS, from the 90's. While Connor was bad, JTS was the undisputed king of data loss. They didn't last long as a company.


You absolutely do. Many coworkers will bug you to ask instead of doing their own research, bug you to chitchat, etc.

They can always book time with you, send an email/IM, etc if there's something they can't resolve on their own.

You have your own deliverables and being interrupted every 10 minutes with inane questions that a web search or a look at the internal wiki/KB would have resolved is not a productive use of anyone's time.

Also, forcing them to wait produces better quality, better researched questions as hopefully they should make some attempt to resolve things on their own.


You had to ask people things when you learned. It's not different now that you're the one with the knowledge. And sometimes people not using the docs means your documentation sucks or needs updating


The problem isn’t people or colleagues asking for help, the problem is feeling entitled to your time exactly when they want it. No one would get any work done if no one had schedules and respected meetings at pre-arranged times.

Also, no one I collaborated with or on my team was ever the issue (except that one time at my first job when someone lied their way into a role, and constantly asked me to do their job). If my team member ever wanted to chat or distract me I had no issue.

It’s the fucking CEO who hasn’t bothered to talk to you for a month and ignore every email walking up to your desk, literally knocking on your table to get you to take your headphones off and give them your attention and saying “hey, when is this new feature gonna be done” when the project management software shows very clearly that everything is on track to ship at X date.

Really this isn’t about collaboration, it’s about people being entitled.


I second the Olimex ESP-POE boards. I use them for all my ESPhome projects as I'm a big fan of wired connectivity and having the ability to power them over PoE is awesome.

They also have a wide variety of sensors that connect with a ribbon cable (they call it uEXT) with no soldering required. Many of the sensors are supported by ESPHome.


Vagrant is also great for filing bug reports in software. It allows you to give the developers all the commands to reproduce the bug in a clean environment.
