For now. The IBM sale made it a no brainer for us to migrate off CentOS last year. They 'could' not mess up Red Hat but I'm not betting against IBM's track record.

I wouldn't worry too much. IBM is making a big bet on OSS friendliness as their differentiation, much like Google Cloud is.

Which distro you migrated to?

Ubuntu.

What's the track record?

Have you ever purchased or maintained an IBM 'product?'

You better budget for at least 2 contractors to go with it.

I don't see this going anywhere. Anyone seriously pushing this will just be replaced. Chinese companies will probably take the US approach and just ignore/cover up the whole thing, or make some handwavey pithy gestures.

I'd love to be proved wrong, but I doubt it.

Yeah 'never' is a long time.

He's used up. His masters don't need him anymore, except as an 'example' that 'law and order prevails.'

It's a joke.

Or a company. Or an executive of a company. Or a member of the police.

You know how some people say, "No, no ad whitelisting. #GETOUT?"

This is why.

This guy keeps going on about how 'you should get everything through hard work and effort.'

Bullshit, cheat. Cheat blatantly. If there's a broken obvious but unintended way to accomplish your goal do it.

Otherwise one of the other billions of meatsacks roaming around the planet will do it first. Then they'll be eating your lunch.

Principles aren’t principles if you only have them when they’re easy.

The US government shoved her in isolation for years. Even with immunity why should she help them now?

> Even with immunity why should she help them now?

Because if her previous testimony was not perjury, and the government is looking to probe around it, she is likely withholding exculpatory evidence that, were it in the hands of the government, they would be subject to sanction if they failed to turn over to the ultimate target of the prosecution and which might, simply by existing, result in abandonment of some or all of the charges being pursued.

Of course, if the prior testimony was perjury, the calculus is different.

I won’t be surprised if he very quickly gets “accidentallied.” He’s outlived his use to his masters and is a liability now.

This inevitability is what they always forget.

If they're going for the no-logs gimmick I'll probably just preemptively block their ASNs and save myself a lot of trouble.

Did the same with Nord and a dozen other vpn-of-the-week services. no-logs means no-accountability which means malicious traffic which means you don't get to talk to our stuff.
