I use podman at work, mostly just a Docker replacement. My biggest problem with it is typing “pdoman” in commands by mistake.

What do you get when you cross Family guy with BTTF?

1.21 giggetywatts!

That’s a good way to think about it. If someone is doing something nice for you, let them!

With my credit card. I don’t carry cash consistently.

Occasionally my wife will pay the bill, but mostly I get it #genderroles

We still date each other even though we’re “boring” and married now 😉. Who pays doesn’t really matter seeing as we’re married, but hey, old habits

Simple: Computers are not doors with locks. Antivirus is not a deadbolt, and IMO it’s really misleading to compare them. You’re trying to tell people in this thread that you need AV on Linux, against consensus, “because security”. I still don’t understand why you think it’s necessary. What’s your threat model? How does AV improve security on your servers in a way that a firewall doesn’t?

Did you know that there’s another jackoneil on lemmy? Except he spells his name with just one ‘l’, and he has no sense of humor at all.

But would you put a deadbolt on your garage door? Or on your fridge door? IMO, arguing by analogy here just obfuscates the points – your servers aren’t physical doorways with locks, and comparing them just confuses the issue.

Can you explain what added security an antivirus package would offer for a Linux server? I haven’t done much with Linux administration, mostly just using Docker images for stuff at work.

I’m not a super Linux expert or anything, but I do grok tech, and I’m curious about this topic.

Thanks! It’s been frustrating – another team raised some (valid) security questions, but this whole thing is supposed to be a replacement for something we’re already using, so WTF? And I haven’t been able to get a manager to commit to anything concrete regarding this. I’m going to flip the script tomorrow and basically say “OK, Team X has a problem with us, so we’re going to back out of this change regardless of how painful it is”. Unless the manager is like WHOA WHOA WHOA, we’ll go with that.

The book is His Majesty’s Dragon by Naomi Novik. Basically “What if they had dragons during the Napoleonic wars?”. I’ve really been digging it. I like history (and alternate history), fantasy in general, and protagonists I can really root for. This book has that in spades, and the writing itself is nicely entertaining :D I quite recommend it.

I had the day off. In-laws are visiting, and I get on well with them. We also had my mother and her husband over for dinner. I was stressing about hosting before they got here, but everyone seemed to enjoy visiting.

After everyone went home, I read for a while and played a little Valheim. I should probably be in bed already, but that’s pretty normal. Tomorrow will be interesting; we’ve had some issues come up at work where it’s not very clear how to proceed (yay corporate America). We’re going to hash out an actual plan in the morning.

I get it. Do all that work, and at the end, it’s still not working? Ugh, that’s the worst :( I always feel super defeated in that sort of circumstance.

OTOH…I have to echo the others giving you a virtual pat on the back. You were super stretching your DIY skills! Kudos for going for it! That’s not an easy thing to do, and it sounds like you got through 99% of the job. That’s def something where you can be proud of yourself.

Not really. You pretty much dodged the question.

If I say I’m monogamous, when do you start calling me a liar?

When you say “so and so is hot!” and I don’t argue?

When I say “so and so is hot!”?

When I bang so and so without breaking up with my current partner?

I’ve read this entire thread, and I’m still not entirely sure where you’d draw that line.
