Yeah, I'd tend to agree on that. Even beyond the security issues, nuclear has the potential to be a safe, but it also has the potential to be disastrous if mis-managed.

We see plenty of issues like this already, including what occurred here: https://world-nuclear.org/information-library/safety-and-security/safety-of-plants/fukushima-daiichi-accident

Now imagine a plant in Texas, where power companies response to winter outages has basically been "sucks to be you, winterizing is too costly".

Or maybe we'd like to go with a long-time trusted company, who totally wouldn't throw away safety and their reputation for a few extra bucks. Boeing comes to mind.

I like nuclear as a power source, but the absolutely needs to be immutable rules in place to ensure it is properly managed and that anyone attempting to cut corners to save costs gets slapped down immediately. Corporate culture in North America seems to indicate otherwise.

This happens in other countries as well. I've been told to speak the local (non-English) language when visiting friends overseas when having a private conversation.

Generally, it seems to be nosy old people who are upset about not being able to eavesdrop

Or how bumblebee did an "rm -rf" on uninstall without a quoted path, which ended up nuking important directories

Server or desktop, and what types of files? I find that a self-hosted version of NextCloud does pretty well for keeping contacts, images, and videos in sync.

(You could run it on a Pi as an intermediary to both if desired)

I used to use stuff like AndFTP in the past for similar functions

In some cases a wipe/reset of the TPM from the BIOS might do it as well, is it's still functional but scrambled

Huh? Is the previous poster an OpenRGB developer? That's cool!

Thanks. I'll check into it but TBH I do really prefer .DEB based distros and that one seems to be Fedora based

That's actually not what I was referring to.

First of all, RedHat now belongs to IBM, and they've never been shy about squeezing customers for a buck.

Second, having dealt with their support, it's hit or miss to get a somebody helpful or an endless cycle of tickets. Patching and versioning is sometimes a complete mess.This especially sucks as the main reason most organizations go with RH versus others is for patching and support.

There's also a lot of things where there's a RH-specific implementation , which is further distancing fun other Linuxes and often ignores standard ways of configuring things.

RedHat actually benefitted from Fedora, CentOS etc as it allowed the community to develop products in a way that could be tested to be reasonably compatible, and to develop our port back fixes etc. It wasn't just "RedHat made this and others just took it" but in many ways a symbiotic relationship. Yeah some orgs just went with CentOS but often it was those who worked on RH corporately would run CentOS at home in order to have a similar environment.

I used to be "Debian on the server, Ubuntu on the desktop" but recently I've spun up a few Debian boxes for desktop and I'm pleasantly surprised.

Kinda wish Valve would go for a full-out supported distro that stays in step with the Deck for Linux gamers (the old desktop SteamOS is kinda abandoned from what I can see), among with making the deck frontend a supported desktop manager. It would make sense for them to do so and rake in the game sales whilst providing a well-supported platform without the shit others are doing.

Increasingly so, and following the path that RedHat was taking prior (and probably worse to come given their new ownership)

Yes, and especially don't fuck with the hardware or core boot/OS configuration. That'd the kind of stuff that can get you fired in most orgs I've been in.

Is Linux likely to mess up the stuff in Windows: probably not? It does require you to do likely-unauthorized things to the device to install, including potentially circumventing some controls required in the work device.

Whether it causes issue or not, circumventing those policies or controls is not going to land well if you get caught at it.

Does anyone know where to find some good measurements of performance differences between common distros (with like hardware and config).

I'm interested to see if some perform better than others due to optimization etc
