Readit NewsI think that's acceptable so far, no?
What's this issue?
Gouging is good. I'm sure they'll be lowered again when supply stabilizes. Any time now.
The whole point of RHEL is the long term support (the back-porting), which is what they're going to stop publishing.

There are a few suppliers, but the 4x Intel NICs open up lots of possibilities. They're very lower power, but still fast enough to handle a lot of traffic.
I run VMWare ESXi on mine and use openwrt for my router on two ports and then a general purpose server in another VM.
I have multiple children, and I hate (ok, strongly dislike) working remotely. I dislike the lack of separation between home and work, and how it makes my children feel like I’m “always working.”
I love the high-bandwidth communication and collaboration of in-person, as well as the way it naturally fosters empathy and community. It’s a better learning environment for most, and it makes work more fun for most.
I have been an outlier, I guess, and have only been able to find remote jobs for most of my decade+ SWE career. I have a dedicated office space and all the gear, so my dislike of remote has nothing to do with not being properly equipped for it.
I think people have a lot of valid complaints that are actually orthogonal to in-person work:
- Housing is too expensive. True! Not the fault of the office.
- Commutes take too long. True! Not the fault of the office.
- Housing units close to the office are often too small to be comfortable for families. Subjective, but many people feel this way! Also not the fault of the office.
The common theme here is that housing and transportation in America is broken. Utterly broken.
There is no technical or economic reason that we couldn’t have the majority of workplaces in neighborhoods where the majority of employees could comfortably live within a ten minute commute. And I submit that there is nothing better than getting to work together in real life while living comfortably within ten minutes of your workplace.
There’s nothing _wrong_ with remote work, and I think it’s great for it to be an option for those who want it (including all remote companies for those who want them). But remote isn’t morally superior to in-person work, despite the way many advocates talk about it. And an escape hatch from our broken cities is not the same as a solution.
It saddens me that more of us aren’t working seriously on the problem of fixing housing and transportation in the US, and instead are embracing bandaids.
FWIW I do what I can via my work with Strong Towns. If this is a cause that interests you I’d encourage you to read our material and consider becoming a member.
Whether it’s a human, a box, a clump of dirt. Doesn’t really matter?
Where types matter are road signs and lines etc, which are hopefully more consistent.
More controversially: Are humans just a dumb hammer that just have processed and adjusted to a huge amount of data? LLMs suggest that a form of reasoning starts to emerge.
