    I don't think SE Michigan qualifies as flyover, maybe rust belt. SE Michigan is practically east coast and technically has a shipping route to the ocean.

  3. I interviewed at a bunch of east and west coast companies before deciding to stay in Indiana. They were definitely a couple years ahead on infrastructure. Denver area seemed to be in between, ahead of us, but behind Cali/NY.

    I ended up with an offer in NY, which I eventually ended up declining to take a position at a tech oriented late stage startup in town.

    I get 1TB for about $15 a quarter, although the price has gone up a bit and you have to pay in Euro's. Check my sig.

  5. And alot more people are willing to protect their friends and ignore problems that aren't affecting them personally.

  6. Incidently, I get 25 days a year between vacations and fixed holidays, a pension 401k, and reasonable and cheap health insurance through my employer.

    Classic, "I got mine".

    Your not worried about the low wage workers making your salad, compelled to work when sick?
    ..or the janitor rampaging through your workplace because he's a temp with no benefits, vacation, or holidays?

    By "worried", I don't mean pants shitting terror, as espoused by the NRA. I mean human compassion that compels you to help.

  7. And to be honest 10 or 14 vacation days ... and only very limited set of holidays ... it is surprising that the US have no riots and violent revolutions :D

    We do, they're just unorganized. https://www.statista.com/stati...

    How is that any different then fat fingering as root? Sudo doesn't cross clusters unless your pairing it with Ansible or something.

    Every enterprise environment I've worked on uses sudo. Shared account passwords are a no-no, so typically the root password is not given out, or it is entirely disabled.

    People log on, then sudo to their admin account which is a functional root, or they sudo directly to root in some cases.

    Sudo provides logging, and gives you the ability to delegate commands that can be run as root, even if a user doesn't get full root.

    I don't get the hate, just typical refusal to change, the old ways are better?

    sudo gives you logging. It also lets you dictate what commands are allowed to run.
    So long as you mange the permissions on the scripts and commands the "sudo" user can run, to avoid changes, it's a great tool.

    Best practice is for users to logon with their own account and 'sudo su -' to root, if they are root authorized. Otherwise, they get a list of sudo commands they can run, and they don't get root.

  14. I was taught:
    # sudo su -

  15. Soo... two or three years of lost wages and a personal layout of $15-30K? I can't imaging why people aren't flocking to this. Maybe these costs will have to be absorbed by the company, not the worker, in the future.

  16. Salespeople...

    Was that before or after zypper? Because zypper and Open Build Services have given OpenSuse new life. I used to end up switching systems to ubuntu or debian for package support, but almost everything is in OpenSuse now. Although I can't get the damn spotify client to work...

    I vaguely remember Suse Defaulting to gnome for one release, but KDE and gnome are both options now. KDE is very polished.
