  • The canonical method was with a kickstart, and if it looks like too complex, remember you should have one stashed in /root already that you just need to mod.

    Normally a kickstart is a bit much, otherwise, though. I use a suite of tools but the best one I used was a simple virtual package to bring in the ot8her, drop configs in and start daemons. We did this in like 2001 to great effect.





  • Many countries, like America, had actual economic mobility. There was a time where working hard could improve your economic status.

    My family lost everything. Twice. Once to over-leveraging before a mortgage collapse in 83, and secondly to a house fire. We lived in an absolute fleabag of a moldy motel, a stereotype like you’d see on-screen, for about 10 months. The mold was so bad we had tiny mushrooms.

    We got back, both times, to a stable home life in a mortgage and a fresh start. Dad paid off his home before retirement, by working his absolute ass off.

    That’s just not feasible now, just one generation later.

    Anyway, there was a time when hard work did get you something; so treat that as a historical thing and not a falsehood.

    The USA is not a democracy

    This question is not relevant: you’re not voting based on how the country is now, or was last week. You’re voting based on how the country should be, each time. You’re picking the least-bad leader out of a small set of options, based on whether they’re even marginally better.

    In this case, a LOT of alternatives are better than the current setup, so I don’t understand the dilemma.

    …thus, the suspicion about trolling.

    Should I vote Republican to slow down full blown let it all hang out fascism because I don’t want to vote Democrat?

    1. Evolution means choosing the better option in each case to invoke slow but important beneficial change
    2. Harm reduction is a great short-term strategy
    3. There’s absolutely no reason to ever vote the elitist racist party of kiddy-diddlers
    4. If you’re feeling like not voting, or voting in a way that harms people for no gain ever, then you may be a victim of manipulation by the conservatives so you don’t vote against them. They’re good at this.

    Questions asking whether someone should vote in a way that causes harm can sound like a trolling question. I’m sorry if other respondents treat it as such.



  • There is a community edition but serious users will run into its limitations

    No true Scot, then?

    I’m running gitlab implementations at a few sites. I’ve not seen or heard of any performance limiter with a self-managed community edition that removes a tool the others still provide.

    and it does not integrate neatly with external solutions.

    Again, this sounds FUDdy. Which ‘external solutions’ are you using that a git-push fails on? Some spaghetti of saas tendrils seems to be already a risk, but I can’t think of any other external thing that it could mess up with.
