On my corporate laptop, because they require ubuntu to.. well spy on us, I wrote a interface in front of snap to works like flatpak.. as snap forcing through on everything I work on...

At least I tried to disable it. and failed, so I wrote a piece of junk code to accomodate my flatpak muscle memory

System76 and Pinebook never ever ship to Indonesia even they have branch in Singapore, or even sorting center in Batam Area (which is Indonesian soil), :/

All disable script all together on foreign site using uBo

Mission critical server mostly are RHEL or EL Clone or Fedora or it's derivative... If you combine even Azure nowdays, Microsoft Linux is derived from Fedora, same as Amazon Linux, and others... Debian are covering some part, but mostly hobbyist, or SME, and mostly non critical, as they don't have standard across, even on their https://wiki.debian.org/LTS/Extended and https://www.debian.org/consultants/

apt also bad when you got to dowgrade package when something mess up, and get messy with dpkg.. :'(

So I quite doubt if it's production env, mostly go with EL. I do know some company use Ubuntu/Debian, but it's quite few...

If Ubuntu/Debian want to shape Industries, and kick out RHEL, they need to have standard, and better consultancy than RHEL. I hope so that they could grow and make market competitive, but for now it isn't sadly.

Use ansible and variable, so it can be replicated to other computer. Simple

ansible.builtin.apt:
   name: "{{ item }}"
   state: latest
loop:
   - pkg1
   - pkg2

sadly both of them don't ship or even sell in Indonesia... sad sad life

Mullvad have been operating our VPN service for over 14 years. This is the first time our offices have been visited with a search warrant.

I chuckle when read this 🤣

BSA and Microsoft will always nag business about office.. They do threaten any uni/education uni in Asia, if we don't have any license or having MoU or buy from them, they will find even tiny small wrong doing, either if you student are using pirate windows, they will blame the uni, and bring it to the court.. We only buy the Education pack yearly because last time it doesn't end well with BSA...

Even I have office license yearly.. Family pack. I only need the one drive 1TB, just it's cheaper with family package... Than Google or others. I do know idrive or pcloud, but idrive or pcloud in Linux isn't great in bisync using rclone... 😢

Work in Education and Software Industries.

I did manage fleet of Ubuntu and RHEL/Fedora instance. Mostly in education is research based services on top of container, either docker swarm or openshift. Most tech stack is PHP, Python for ML, and NodeJS

In software industries, I use kubernetes, and tech stack Nodejs, c#/net core, php, Java, python, golang, and some other popular language. Mostly using microservices arch, with DDD-MVC approach.

In education we have 10-20 Ubuntu/RHEL/Fedora for production, in Uni Labs, we have fleet (more than 20) of Gnome desktop with RHEL, supported by Red Hat Academy APAC. We do dual boot with windows because some WPF/.NET Desktop development lecture still held, but with Avalonia and React Native, seems it will change near future.

In software industries, mostly developer use windows, but they do debug on WSL2. Only small percentage using Linux desktop. Some are using mac, but it's under 3 people, negligible. Well...

For Education, it need about 7 years to fully moved from Windows server 2012, using Full Linux. In past some lab do have MacOS server, but I never encounter or support them so.. I can't speak much.

But in software industries, from start, we have Linux box, and grow over time. We only have special windows server for SQL server that need reporting server ability, mostly tied to SAP/ERP project, the rest are in Linux Box. Mostly we use red hat ansible to make standard deployment. We do have cloud init, but only for first deployment, then ansible.

I don't think site displayed badly is Mozilla problem, because there are web standard. If they don't follow the standard, it won't even show on anything I suppose, even chrome. But if in chrome it displayed neatly, then you need to ask to yourself, does that a website, or chromiumsite

Now days email spam filter especially proprietary from Google or Verizon yahoo really make indie mail server harder to maintain and always got labeled as spam even with DKIM, dmarc, right spf, and clean reputable public IP

Even older than the project itself. Nice.. The alfa... The first, the only one
