No you haven't. Or at least, we have different definitions of 'good experiences'. The RaspPi without the new accelerated Wayland is unbearable with local connections, let alone remote.
'System Administrator' is now roughly equivalent to 'Sanitation Engineer'. It was only a matter of time before this happened. This person is no different than any of the other people that take care of the building. Buildings don't just sit there, even without thin client setups. You have electricians, HVAC, plumbing, all sorts of other maintenance issues to deal with, and this really isn't anything different.
You have have to come to grips with the fact that being a system administrator is not impressive anymore. Computers have this neat way of allowing a few really intelligent people to make programs that allow fresh from the kiln bricks to do amazing things.
The problem is that you're using the wrong thin client technology.
The thin client shouldn't give a damn what you do to generate the desktop, just its just a physical interface to a virtual world. There is absolutely no reason this can not be standardized.
Thin Keyboards should be using Thin USB, and Thin pointing devices using Thin PointDevice connections. ThinHDMI...
Stop buying 'solutions' from vendors and by actual solutions better known as standards.
Would you buy a PC that required a specialized video cable and monitor, keyboards with their own unique plugs that only fit into that one specific model? Would you accept it if it required you to buy a special OEM adapter to plug in your speakers?
You aren't looking at the right problem. You're still buying proprietary systems which are DESIGNED TO LOCK YOU IN TO THEIR PROFIT CENTER and then expecting it to work as if its some sort of standard.
The technology is there, but vendors don't want anything to do with it as that turns the whole thing into a race to the bottom, and kills profit margins overnight.
Someone is going to have to create a OSS (not copyleft, something everyone can use) reference implementation of the system for everyone to copy. We need another BSD sockets library kind of solution. It doesn't matter who makes proprietary crap extensions 20 years down the road once the basics are covered WELL, and that everyone does them WELL because thats the minimum expectation.
Right... The mental health issues are a side effect of the totally normal and productive behavior of extreme self mutilation that from an evolutionary stand point is suicide.
Do you actually think about what you are parroting before you say it?
You know absolutely nothing about GIT, clearly, since pretty much any google search for server information would tell you the server is the client is the server... like most other revision control systems.
Second... a google search would have given you a clue, and you didn't even bother to do that. That in and of itself is why you aren't qualified to even be asking the question.
'BGP gateways' ? WTF are those? BGP is a protocol run on routers of all types, and standard hosts as well, depending on the purpose. You mean border routers perhaps? Who cares? You do realize you can make an encrypted connection to your repository, right?
My ASUS N-66R runs Linux, and the source is available, I do run 'whatever software I like on it' already.
Its like a Rasp PI except instead of having VideoCore4 it has BadAssSwitchingAsicsNotOnAUSBHub. I'll take 6 usable gigabit ports on asics over 3 crappy nics on USB from a device that requires a perfect power supply or the USB craps out, and takes the networking with it.
The RaspPi offers absolutely nothing from a router perspective that isn't already available in routers that do all of it better.
Oh, and adding Tor to my router is probably as simple as using the factory installed web interface to a package manager. I haven't bothered to look for Tor, but seems as likely as all the other stuff they have in there.
So plug in a USB ethernet adapter and stop your bitching, thats all the onboard on is anyway. Its just connected directly to the onboard hub, the other two ports are exposed.
You also get the benefit of being able to generate the ID in your code, instead of relying on a return value for the data record.
And that my friend, is exactly how you end up with collisions.
GUIDs are theoretically unique, not real world unique. Collisions can and do happen, so you can not assume that you generated a unique GUID. Doing so is just sloppy and means you probably do that else where and someone who's sloppy and lazy working on websites just gives me all sorts of warm fuzzies about code quality.
Really? Cause I can think of a couple large banks and a couple government organizations that advertise the fact that they use PostgreSQL and others.
Hell Bank of America has all sorts of different databases in house, MySQL and PostgreSQL are certainly among them. This is public information, so you must have been in some super secret banks and govs that don't interact with those of us in the real world.
Why would you choose MariaDB over MySQL? Do you expect something different to happen? Do you like changing the name of your database everytime some Swede makes a billion dollars off it and then turns around basically do it all over again.
If you switch to MariaDB without planning to get off it, you're just an ignorant chump.
And... you're using them for the exact same thing... right? I mean, thats clearly why you have two of them... so you could compare them with the exact same workloads, right?
Its always nice when you compare orange juice and hard apple cider.
When you get to the point that Oracle requires 'special tuning', you're so far beyond what MySQL is useful for its not even funny.
When you start 'tuning' Oracle, MySQL isnt an option because you're tuning features MySQL doesn't have.
You also can afford a full time Oracle DB or 20 because we're not talking about a tiny ass db used for your one sale a week shopping cart and mediawiki clone.
No it doesn't, it uses that tired old excuse like its true.
Reality: When a vendor of an open source product drops it, 99 times out of 100, thats the end of the product. That 1 time left, is the MySQL example. Where they just intend to try and scam someone else in the same way.
You're an idiot if you think MySQL is a good example of why people should use open source.
No one 'forced' him to change the name. Read that again. NO ONE FORCED HIM TO CHANGE THE DOMAIN NAME.
They asked for him to stop soliciting donations in a way that made it look like he was doing it for Debian proper. Then if he didn't want to do that, they started clamping down on the name usage in order to resolve the real problem, which is him making it unclear that he isn't collecting for Debian proper
He's an ass and didn't want to stop scamming people for donations (he is intentionally misleading, this was discussed on the mailing list and its clear), so he responded in a passive aggressive way.
This isn't about 'trademarks' or naming, its about integrity and ethical practices. The naming thing is just a way to require an uncooperative asshole into doing what they want. This is EXACTLY THE REASON TRADEMARK LAWS EXIST. To prevent some jackass like this from tricking people into donating to something other than what they think they are donating to.
The proper way to resolve this exact problem is to require sources to have a valid digital signature signed by a trusted party, and that leads us to...
The big mistake is Linux geeks in general. You don't have signed repositories because you all get so uppity about someone being the 'central authority' that you lose basic functionality and usability... and end up with the EXACT same flaws you rant on about. Don't let anyone centrally sign things and validate others as being legitimate, make everyone do it themselves! Thats so much better! Power to the people!... the people who will then put a single line in a relatively obscure configuration file and then forget it for the rest of the install.
Then you come back... and solution you propose... is to have the debian organization function as a clearing house by remapping someone elses domain. Do you want them to run a walled garden or not? Pick one or the other. Just because you don't recognize your request as being a walled garden doesn't make it any less so. You're asking Debian to play moderator, gate keeper.
You'll then flip the fuck out if it turns out that debian-multimedia.org is owned by someone who is legitimate about it. (not likely, but not impossible, yet)
No, they shouldn't patch the package manager for the good of others, they should let you get exploited. You added the repository of a douche, your problem. You didn't want them playing gate keepers, remember, thats why you have an unsigned file with out digital signatures as your list of repositories.
I don't think so. If that were the case he could have just corrected it, which was brought up. He instead claimed that he made it clear and that if you read the page you would know. If that were the case, it wouldn't have come up. He's clearly trying to not make it obvious. Instead of just fixing it, he made a different, clearly passive aggressive move. Using deb-multimedia instead of debian-multimedia... seriously? Dropping the original domain rather than doing something intelligent like... using a redirect or error page for a while? FFS, godaddy and register will host a basic page for like $15/year and that includes the cost of the domain if you use a coupon from retailmenot or google.
He's really just showing his ass, spoken language isn't needed. His actions speak clearly.

You aren't a snob, you're extremely insecure and need to work on that.
Learn to lead your life yourself, not follow the crowd.
Everything you use to justify using GIT is an example of doing it wrong.
If your going to make an OSS router, you start with FreeBSD, which has been the fastest routing stack on the planet and has been for over 10 years.
Starting with Linux tells you they didn't engineer the project, they buzz word managed it.
At no point does using Microsoft * make sense for infrastructure
...
You don't get out much do you?
Lets see, heres the things that use thin clients that pop into my head:
DVM, Airport agents, high-end POS systems, Insurance agents.
Oh, and just to be pedantic, your web browser is exactly that.
No you haven't. Or at least, we have different definitions of 'good experiences'. The RaspPi without the new accelerated Wayland is unbearable with local connections, let alone remote.
...
You don't get it do you?

CVS doesn't use distributed in its documentation. Its not hip enough for todays demanding fanboy.

You've been able to do this since Raspian was released ... probably before then and in other releases for the pi as well.

Why exactly does anyone care that adafruit posted something about using pre-packaged software from probably close to 2 years ago?
So plug in a USB ethernet adapter and stop your bitching, thats all the onboard on is anyway. Its just connected directly to the onboard hub, the other two ports are exposed.
Uhm, my copy doesn't have 'db2' in it. Never has to my knowledge. I know db2 doesn't run on half the platforms postfix supports.
Postfix does use berkley db, perhaps you think just because it has db in its name that its the same?

'more future proof' ...
Its EXACTLY THE SAME AS MYSQL in that respect. MariaDB can be sold JUST LIKE MySQL! Go figure

Really? They distribute libmysqlclient? I could go one, but I'm lazy.
Its not a drop in replacement. It does take effort to move to it. You just choose to ignore differences.
If it took no effort, you wouldn't hear about Red Hat putting work into it.
No it doesn't, it uses that tired old excuse like its true.
