An acquaintance from an old day job who does Linux admin hit me up because they wanted to whine about how hard it was to pick a distro these days.

They said, "I know SysV init and X11 are bad, but I keep hearing about problems with systemd and Wayland. Have you had any trouble with systemd or Wayland?"

I said, "I've been using OpenBSD. No systemd, no SysV init, no Wayland, and no bullshit. It's even got decent man pages. You should try it."

conceptually, node.js is coldfusion for an internet where js rather than html rules the dom... it’s an equally if not more shitty idea unless I’m missing something...

computer like jazz.

live like jazz.

imagine how awful jazz would be if every player was trying to outplay every other player.

cooperate. collaborate. get quiet together and get out of each other's way. take each other's lead. expand on each other's ideas and get excited when someone takes it in a direction you never expected.

enjoy journeying together, for you'll not come this way again in this company.

your entire itinerary is one-way, dig?

look around more.
