I am a part of a team that provides expertise managing fleets of user endpoints and also servers/cloud for large commercial environments. On this site I occasionally share an in-the-trenches perspective of expertise-driven use of open source in commercial environments.
Due to unethical mafioso tactics of some of the "big tech" companies, commercial entities are not named.
It's amazing what stupid behavior you can get people to act out by putting some cutesy stickers and background wallpaper on things.

East Taiwan is best Taiwan. West Taiwan is getting out of control. Let's send more weapons to East Taiwan.
When Wireguard first came out I wrote some scripts for myself. Later on I used SaltStack to configure Wireguard for customers with sets of laptops in the dozens or more. https://Netbird.io is probably something you may…
"I am morally superior because I have the correct beliefs, as validated by the artificial applause on The Daily Show"
Knockknock was one of my favorite things back in the day. I love Moxie's mindset. Nowadays I put Wireguard in front of everything.
I am on a team that provides commercial support for our Linux based user endpoints. We do not deploy endpoints with WiFi cards that require closed-source firmware.…
SpaceX values meritocracy first and foremost. Boeing, not so much. One of these companies has a very bright future.
We didn't replace the HTML with Rust, if that's what you thought you were getting at. We use HTMX.
Anyone speaking, let alone behaving, like Telegram is "secure", ipso facto has won a Darwin Award. We won't see the results in the short-term, but yeah they have won it alright.
I write fullstack web applications in Rust, client-side too with a shim for interfacing with some JS for the DOM. So, I can agree with you in the abstract, but I'm gonna have to see you as part of the crowd that "hasn't…
I'll gladly finance at 4x the cost (so like around $5,000) to purchase an alternative Pixel for a fully open source bootloader with physically compartmentalized chips with open interfaces and a less sleek device. I…

Exploit their smartphone then email tidbits of their more outstanding Facebook chats, SMS messages, maybe some nudes, and recordings of their phone calls. You will see the "I don't care about security attitude" do a…
The last time I was involved in this kind of thing (long enough but not too long ago), we ran Postgres and other databases strictly in K8s per a mandate by our CTO. Using reserved instances are great for avoiding a lot…
Yeah, not _everything_, but almost or "pretty much" everything. The main exception to "everything" ultimately being S3, and some monitoring exceptions here and there that are purely cloud-side like monitoring AWS'…
Would you be interested in a cloud provider that did not charge for inbound or responding (outbound in response) bandwidth?
Keeping everything, including mission critical databases, "inside" Kubernetes is smart. The smart people keep everything "in" Kubernetes. Everyone else can pay up.
The fresh grads in question came from reputable UC schools. Given the degrees they were (or almost were) holding, and where they came from, they are expected to at least give a shit about Unix-like systems, if not…

You need access to a good lawyer or you're going to get run over. When you sue, you can sue for legal costs, damages to your business, and punitive damages.
By day 2 I'd have filed a lawsuit seeking over $5-million in combined actual and punitive damages. You have to speak the language they understand, anything else is a waste of time.
