yeah sure... that's what we always say, right?  


This whole show seems to be 5 years too late with all their cRyPTo hype babble

It feels like they didn't get the memo yet...




oh btw ....happy Easter Monday everyone <3

I haven't been able to post much, but I have been reading and following the thread whenever I have the chance. I was wondering, am I the only one who reads this thread backwards to catch up on new posts?

Anyhow, I've been busy updating my servers in the datacenter where I work. It had been four years since my last visit, and I needed to replace a failed hard drive with new SSD drives, as well as update some old cPanel VMs.

All was going well until I forgot the admin password - un-fucking-believable! Panic set in as I never forget passwords or at least have them securely stored somewhere. This hypervisor contained 12 important VMs and our Primary DNS, and after an hour of trying every possible password, websites and webapps started dropping! I knew I knew the password, as I remembered rebooting it a few years back (it had over 1000 days of uptime). It was late, and the stress and pressure were really getting to me - I'm not usually like this, I work well under pressure. In fact, back in high school, I used to complete my assignments the night before and still do better than 95% of the class. Eventually, I managed to crack into the box, change the admin password and booted everything back up. Just the thought of what would have happened, caused this sinking feeling I wouldn't want to have again!

I think I'll pull the plug with working at the next ATH (whenever that may be). While I've always thought that I don't need to work, but rather want to work, the truth is that many people rely on me to show up, causing me to need to work! However, it has all started to really get to me.

As you may know, I work in IT, and the ever-changing landscape is starting to affect me negatively. I used to enjoy it, but now, even small things are starting to bother me - dropping support for "screen"? What the fuck? My muscle memory for ctrl-a-d is ingrained in my fingers! Now they want me to use tmux? That stuff is dreadful - or am I just getting too old for this shit?

CentOS has stopped development of CentOS 8 in favour of CentOS stream, and I'm not sure why. I couldn't be bothered with digesting the information to work out the advantages, etc. How does this affect me? cPanel will drop support for CentOS 7 in June 2024, and I think they've already dropped support for CentOS 8, and will not support any Stream variants. Anyhow, they're pushing for a paid version of CloudLinux, which I was very tempted to use to replace the current setup as I thought there weren't many options.

I was wrong - AlmaLinux and RockyLinux are excellent alternatives. The younger me would have realized this years ago! What I'm noticing is that I'm not doing my due diligence or researching. Has the landscape gotten so big? Am I just getting too tired to learn more, or am I holding onto the past? Or has YouTube Shorts and Instagram rewired my brain to have the attention span of a 10-year-old?


TL;DR - CentOS is now AlmaLinux

Our money is in our savings and the money in the bank means it's their money (bank).
Your answer is very correct. lol

It seems you are missing something from your answer. They (bank) will not pay the money back without an order to return.
Isn't it like that?

In an instant the sign soared upwards.

Levioso!!!

Got email from Coinbase saying that "if you sent your bitcoin for them to sell, then they would produce tax documents for you where they would be indicating the "base/cost" as ZERO", with a lame excuse of not knowing what it cost you (instead of indicating the value of bitcoin when they GOT IT).

For 2022 it is still not covered by automatic reporting (like stocks), but if next year they will start...and that was in some of laws that already passed, and then many of us would have huge problems, potentially, as they will report your sale price and your imaginary "cost" at ZERO to the three letter dudes.

TL;DR prepare to get wrecked next year

welp, welcome to the ignore list.
