Capitalism: RedHat wants money, will stop supporting and development of CentOS https://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/24871/capitalism-redhat-wants-money-will-stop-supporting-and-development-of-centos Fri, 11 Dec 2020 06:06:12 +0000 Vitaliy_Kiselev 24871@/talks/discussions

The future of the CentOS Project is CentOS Stream, and over the next year we’ll be shifting focus from CentOS Linux, the rebuild of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), to CentOS Stream, which tracks just ahead of a current RHEL release. CentOS Linux 8, as a rebuild of RHEL 8, will end at the end of 2021. CentOS Stream continues after that date, serving as the upstream (development) branch of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Meanwhile, we understand many of you are deeply invested in CentOS Linux 7, and we’ll continue to produce that version through the remainder of the RHEL 7 life cycle.

CentOS Stream will also be the centerpiece of a major shift in collaboration among the CentOS Special Interest Groups (SIGs). This ensures SIGs are developing and testing against what becomes the next version of RHEL. This also provides SIGs a clear single goal, rather than having to build and test for two releases. It gives the CentOS contributor community a great deal of influence in the future of RHEL. And it removes confusion around what “CentOS” means in the Linux distribution ecosystem.

When CentOS Linux 8 (the rebuild of RHEL8) ends, your best option will be to migrate to CentOS Stream 8, which is a small delta from CentOS Linux 8, and has regular updates like traditional CentOS Linux releases. If you are using CentOS Linux 8 in a production environment, and are concerned that CentOS Stream will not meet your needs, we encourage you to contact Red Hat about options.

They now want to offer you unstable alpha version of their RHEL software so you will be tester under the name of CentOS Stream, meaning that it is fully unsuitable for uses where people use present CentOS.

Coronavirus: Diapers mode coming https://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/24869/coronavirus-diapers-mode-coming Thu, 10 Dec 2020 17:28:38 +0000 Vitaliy_Kiselev 24869@/talks/discussions

The Civil Aviation Administration of China has published new guidelines for the country's aviation industry, which outlines the hygiene rules to be followed at airports and aircraft in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In particular, flight attendants were advised to wear personal protective equipment (masks, goggles and shoe covers), as well as to wear disposable underwear. “It is recommended that crew members wear diapers and avoid washrooms and thus the risk of infection,” the document explains.

How soon it'll be requirement for everyone during flying?

How about checking diapers for all people on any mass gatherings?

Good quote: On toxic masculinity https://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/24867/good-quote-on-toxic-masculinity Thu, 10 Dec 2020 14:59:36 +0000 Vitaliy_Kiselev 24867@/talks/discussions image

Fun :-)

It is time to look up for sites who rate male classmates as it can save democracy, I guess.

Mordor: All data of people who got coronavirus in Moscow leaked https://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/24866/mordor-all-data-of-people-who-got-coronavirus-in-moscow-leaked Thu, 10 Dec 2020 05:29:01 +0000 Vitaliy_Kiselev 24866@/talks/discussions

In the free access on the Web, files were found that contained information about Moscow citizens who had recovered from coronavirus. We are talking about 362 Excel files, with a total volume of about 940 MB. It should be noted that some of these files contained more than 100 thousand lines of data, including the names of people, dates of birth, addresses of residence, telephones, passport numbers, etc.

The fact of personal data leakage was confirmed by the city authorities, adding that the cause of the incident was the human factor. This was reported by the TASS news agency with reference to the data of the capital's operational headquarters for control and monitoring of the situation with coronavirus.

No one will be responsible, as usual.

Main reason of leak can be allow small business owners to access this data.

Bad design: Sharp Microwaves you can speak to https://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/24863/bad-design-sharp-microwaves-you-can-speak-to Wed, 09 Dec 2020 18:08:55 +0000 Vitaliy_Kiselev 24863@/talks/discussions image

Sharp made first Alexa-capable microwaves, the mid-size SMC1139FS and the larger SMC1449FS. Both ovens will take the expected voice commands from Alexa devices for tasks like defrosting meat, but they’re also uniquely tuned for Orville Redenbacher popcorn. Ask Amazon’s helper to “microwave classic popcorn” and a standard bag should be ready for your next at-home movie.

The range of commands varies based on the model. While the base model has roughly 30 voice commands and 10 more voice-only presets, the larger SMC1449FS has over 70 commands and about 50 voice-only presets for food ranging from broccoli to chicken wings. You shouldn’t be left scrambling if you don’t have microwave cooking instructions, at least with the bigger version.

It seems like this guys did not learn a dime.

In good microwave three things matter:

  1. Big start button with +30 second function, easy to clean panel, it must not move and must not click (as it'll be dirt of it'll wear out).
  2. Big stop button with time reset on second press
  3. Big nice glowing timer screen, preferably green visible from any angle, even 89 degrees, not LCD

And almost forgot - it must be build like a tank, and not like modern shite.

Can check some top of the line Samsung microwaves 10-17 years ago.

Good quote: On Nature and progress https://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/24861/good-quote-on-nature-and-progress Wed, 09 Dec 2020 13:37:35 +0000 Vitaliy_Kiselev 24861@/talks/discussions

Я не ищу гармонии в природе.
Разумной соразмерности начал
Ни в недрах скал, ни в ясном небосводе
Я до сих пор, увы, не различал.

Как своенравен мир её дремучий!
В ожесточённом пении ветров
Не слышит сердце правильных созвучий,
Душа не чует стройных голосов.

Но в тихий час осеннего заката,
Когда умолкнет ветер вдалеке.
Когда, сияньем немощным объята,
Слепая ночь опустится к реке,

Когда, устав от буйного движенья,
От бесполезно тяжкого труда,
В тревожном полусне изнеможенья
Затихнет потемневшая вода,

Когда огромный мир противоречий
Насытится бесплодною игрой,—
Как бы прообраз боли человечьей
Из бездны вод встаёт передо мной.

И в этот час печальная природа
Лежит вокруг, вздыхая тяжело,
И не мила ей дикая свобода,
Где от добра неотделимо зло.

И снится ей блестящий вал турбины,
И мерный звук разумного труда,
И пенье труб, и зарево плотины,
И налитые током провода.

Так, засыпая на своей кровати,
Безумная, но любящая мать
Таит в себе высокий мир дитяти,
Чтоб вместе с сыном солнце увидать.

N. Zabalotsky 1947

Adopted GT:

I am not looking for harmony in nature.
For reasonable proportions of things
Not in the depths of the rocks, not in the clear sky
I still, alas, did not not find them.

How capricious is this dense world!
And in the fierce singing of the winds
The heart still does not hear the correct accords,
The soul does not feel harmonious voices.

But in the quiet hour of the autumn sunset,
When the wind in the distance dies down
When, enveloped in the weak radiance
The blind night will sink to the river

When, tired of the violent movement,
From useless toil
In an anxious half-sleep of exhaustion
The darkened water will subside

When a vast world of contradictions
Satisfied with the fruitless game, -
As if the prototype of human pain
From the abyss of waters it rises before me.

And at this hour sad nature
Lies around, sighing heavily,
And wild freedom was not dear to her,
Where evil is inseparable from good.

And she dreams of a brilliant turbine shaft,
And the measured sound of reasonable labor,
And the singing of pipes and the glow of the dam,
And trembling electrified wires.

So, falling asleep on her bed,
Mad but loving mother
Contains in itself a high world of a child,
To see the sun with her son.

Mordor: Rapist caring about victim https://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/24860/mordor-rapist-caring-about-victim Wed, 09 Dec 2020 12:37:27 +0000 Vitaliy_Kiselev 24860@/talks/discussions

Mordor President Vladimir Putin declared the inadmissibility of the situation when people do not have enough money for even basic food like it was the case in USSR.

According to statistics from 20 to 25 millions of hard working Mordor slaves have trouble finding money even for worst quality basic good.

It is just one problem with this lie, in USSR it was no working people who had no money for food, zero.

Statement had been made right after new big price hikes had been announced for meat, milk, tomatoes and apples.

Meat and milk prices are rising fast as export to China soared 3 times, Morodor exchange real stuff to various debt instruments (that they don't have right to turn into any real goods), management and top guys get special bribes and return from Chinese.

Tomatoes and apples prices are expected to double in next two months as local manufacturers finally paid for new 4th round of sanctions preventing most of the imports (around 80% of world tomatoes and apple manufacturers can't import them in Mordor now).

Sweet capitalism.
