The EU is not only facing a tradewar (bad enough in itself) but potentially a total break-down in relations with the USA. I hope all scenarios and plans are ready. Also for example for the digital side of things. What if we have to quickly pull back our data/services from companies like Microsoft, Amazon, Google etc. for critical data/applications? 🤔

"Wiewiórowski sorgte zuletzt mit seiner eisernen Haltung im Streit über die Anwendung von Microsoft 365 bei der Kommission und ihr unterstellter Behörden für Schlagzeilen. Er stufte den Einsatz des Cloud-basierten Office-Pakets im Lichte des "Schrems-II-Urteils" des Europäischen Gerichtshofs als rechtswidrig ein und forderte die Brüsseler Regierungsinstitution jüngst noch einmal auf, alle sich daraus ergebenden Datenströme in Drittstaaten umgehend auszusetzen."

How does a data center actually work and how did the creation of the cloud change the way companies think about computation?

luciferofastora , to Gaming in Bazzite the popular SteamOS-like Linux gets NVIDIA support in Beta

I advise against using Bazzite as a Windows convert, unless you're happy to do a lot of reading to understand what you're actually signing up for. The founder doesn't really care about Windows Gamers (or anyone outside of the professional linux world), according to a comment they made earlier today in response to criticism of the description "cloud native".

To save you a click, the conversation was about the description of Bazzite as "cloud native" on the bazzite homepage* can be confusing or even misleading for people who assume it means "will run in the cloud". The founder explicitly commented they'll keep doubling down on the term until people no longer complain about it.

Their argument was that there is an entire foundation for Cloud Native Computing and that the concept is "an incredibly common thing in any professional paid Linux job." They understand that Windows Gamers in particular might have the aforementioned misconception, but they don't care if you get it.

That doesn't necessarily make Bazzite a bad distro, but I'd be wary about the level of assistance you can expect from people who think that a technical word soup featuring terms like "build our images" and "deploying Linux environments to users" is enough to explain that "cloud native" actually just means the development process and the end product has nothing to do with the cloud.


*Specifically, the homepage's text opens with:
"Bazzite is a cloud native image built upon Fedora Atomic Desktops that brings the best of Linux gaming to all of your devices - including your favorite handheld."
I don't know why they'd lead with the development method, rather than describing what the OS actually does, but apparently that's what they care most about.

As an aside, I don't see any obvious description what "atomic" means on the Fedora Atomic site either.

By the time you're 35, you should have successfully done following at least once:

  1. rm -rf / on your unix or linux box
  2. Reboot production server by mistake
  3. Drop CPU/hard disk and damage it permanently
  4. Changing firewall rule instantly blocked you out
  5. No backup was made/verified ever...
  6. Delete source code before actually committing to source control
  7. Run a SQL update/delete with wrong where clause

How well does your cloud hold water?

All datacentres consume water, but some are more thirsty than others

I'm thinking seriously about getting Google out of my life, and trying NextCloud.

Looking to get a personal account through a managed provider.

Does anyone have any experience with it?

How does it compare to ownCloud?

Any hosts I should look at or avoid?

Any apps I should get for it, or avoid?

Any issues I should be aware of before I switch?
