Amazon makes a game with a Trump supporter? Neato.

Outside this community: someone who programs computers.

In this community: no one has any fucking idea how to answer that.

The bigger, bigger context of the quote is that this game was initially supposed to be released in 2014, and now 2026 is looking unlikely.

And yes, im just talking about squadron 42, the spinoff fps of the even later game that is even farther from release, Star citizen.

The 12 years of release date slippage makes people extra wary about any qualifiers or maybes that the devs add, regardless of context.

Sure. How?

Seems deceptively simple, but organizing people, especially people of incredibly divergent experiences and histories that may literally only share the traits of “is human” and “can code to varying degrees” is the complex part.

Saying “just do it right” is akin to saying “we dont need test or qa. Just code without bugs.”

People are easily as messy as code itself, if not worse. We need some kind of organizing principles to work together, and thats what codes of conduct are.

IT projects almost always have several different “correct” answers, which is why they generally lead to debate or discussion. That’s where a code of conduct is needed.

Discussion between “shut up and code” people and everyone else doesn’t tend to be a positive place to work without some boundaries. If you want people to volunteer for projects, you need to treat them with a baseline respect, and that baseline needs to be agreed on.

OP, If you dont have a proxmox vm template ready to go, here is a great starting place using cloudinit:

https://github.com/UntouchedWagons/Ubuntu-CloudInit-Docs

You can use this with the proxmox gui cloudinit config as well to add your ssh key to each vm/etc.

Depends on what you’re doing a bit. Databases? Hypervisors? Just files? If all of the above, its best to use an actual product this. Either foss like borgbackup or Urbackup, or something like Veeam which is a popular pay option.

If its a proxmox hypervisor, they have their own free backup appliance, but you need a second physical server to run it on.

If it’s just databases, most have a built in way to take a backup. Just google the name and backup. Make sure it’s running automatically and is moved to a separate server on each run.

For files, rsync is a great option.

Backup is step one, or even step 0, of setting up a server. The amount of frustration and even job loss a backup can prevent is always worth the expense of time/money.

Backup can be setup scripts/config files/automation if the data doesnt matter, but you do need it. Also, even if they say the data doesn’t matter, the data almost always matters. It may not now, but it will in 3 years when people use the server for real work and everyone just doesnt even begin to think about a backup until the server fails one day and they lose years worth of their grant and thesis data.

Backups can be simple, they can be complex. They can be free or pay, they can have gui or just be scripts. Settle on one that you can make work, and CHECK THEM OCCASIONALLY with test restores of at least a few files. If you dont test and find a working backup, you have hope, not resiliency.

I’ve never heard that pointer bullshit at all. Can you link it?

“Man” for “manual” is just an antiquated term kept around by Unix curmudgeons. “Help” is much better as it requires no explanation and conveniently is automatically abbreviated to its full name. It’s the common term used in most other systems that aren’t linux.

'Man" isn’t sexist, it just sucks.

Yes, we’ve had first master branch, but what about second master branch?

The ceo is the son of one of the founders of Inuit, the turbotax/quickbooks company. Hes even on sliptgates board.

The owner is pure nepo and will never face any consequence for failure. Its pretty easy to see why they dont care about killing the company and fucking the employees.

They opened a restaurant yesterday. At 4:20 pm.

Yeah, a tesla restaurant. That’s the current distraction.
