Slackware 1.2. It was easier to install than Debian at the time.

Are you clairvoyant? I’m curious as to how you are aware of what I believe, beyond what I stated; that you’re a fool.

Virtualization, as a commercial product pointed at businesses, is a legacy product.

Of course large providers are utilizing virtualization, containerization and an abundance of similar technologies. However, they’re not generally using VMware to do it.

I spoke in the context of OPs question.

I won’t, because I stopped there.

“The thing with Docker is that people don’t want to learn how to use Linux and are buying into an overhyped solution”

I stopped there. Thirty years of LINUX experience here. You’re a fool.

“it’d just take a couple of landlords to have some morals”

So much for that idea.

Might want to avoid religion, too.

having your boss say “stop” at 32 hours is the intent of the bill.

If you’re running a lab or a small shop any hypervisor can likely do the job. Anything above that VMware’s overall ecosystem is the most robust and well-supported.

At this point virtualization is a legacy technology. It’s not going to disappear tomorrow but its clock is ticking the same way the clock was ticking for mainframes thirty years ago. Plenty of mainframes still out there but nobody is implementing new. Same can be said for virtualization. It’s a limited market with significantly slowed growth over where it was a decade ago.

The move to a subscription model will let them squeeze every last dollar out of the technology while they still can.

The irony of you tooting about 1A, celebrating your “right” to free speech, based on your ability to post something in a forum where 1A doesn’t apply.

It’s delicious.

The sad truth is that Firefox is on life support. Whether we like it or not it is not a player in this game.

Don’t even need that. Fifteen minutes To set up your own instance. The entirety of Lemmy still fits on a decent thumb drive.

There’s a difference between advocacy and evangelism.

There’s already at least one company doing it (based on a quick Google search).

Project much?

Interest deduction… meaning not 8% anymore. It doesn’t change the math, it changes the rate.

Not sure how zip code factors into “simple arithmetic” but you do you.

No, it’s not.

You’re rationale that 8% of 300,000 = 24,000 therefore $2,000/mo., by dumb luck, comes close at 8%.

• 12% of 300,00 = 36,000/12 = 3,000; actual is $3085/mo
• 8% of 300,000 = 24,000/12 = 2,000; actual is $2200/mo (not $2025)
• 4% of 300,000 = 12,000/12= 1,000; actual is $1432/mo
• 2% of 300,000 = 6,000/12 = 500; actual is $1108/mo
• 0% of 300,000 = 0/12 = 0; actual is $833/mo

It’s algebra, not arithmetic.

P = (r * A) / (1 - (1 + r)^(-n))

where:

• P is the monthly payment
• A is the loan amount
• r is the monthly interest rate (APR/12)
• n is the total number of payments
