I do. As others have replied, Windows Server--including IIS, means you have a domain joined machine, likely with an SPN of HOST/MACHINE.DOMAIN. Windows services and IIS App Pool Identities log in with an (g)MSA or virtual accounts (NT Service*) and you get a fully working and managed Kerberos experience without having to deal with 30, 60, 90 day password rotations. Log into your MS SQL Server with Kerberos, log into some other webapp's oauth2 flow with Kerberos, etc, it all just works. You can use WinRM with your native Windows shell without having to do anything special, and even technically bypass 2FA since that's just how it really works.

Can you do all this on Linux? Yes. Will it ever be set up correctly? Depends where you work, but based on my experience so far, not likely.

They also send faxes to providers as well. It's kind of ridiculous when you think of it.

enabling != configuring. Are you saying this is all that's necessary, assuming an existing swap device exists? That should be made clearer.

Edit: To be extra clear. When I was researching this, I ended up going with zram only because:

* It is the default for Fedora.

* zramctl gives me live statistics of used and compressed size.

* The zswap doc didn't help my confusion on how backing devices work (I guess they're any swapon'd device?)

With zram, I can just use zram-generator[0] and it does everything for me and I don't even need to set anything up, other than installing the systemd generator, which on some distros, it's installed by default. Is there anything equivalent for zswap? Otherwise, I'm not surprised most people are just using zram, even if sub-optimal.

Fedora and its kernels are built with GCC's _FORTIFY_SOURCE and I've seen modules crash for out of bounds reads.

I think people forget that some of this software may be relatively fast. The problem is, most corporate environments are loaded up with EDRs and other strange anti-malware software that impede quick startup or speedy library calls. I've seen a misconfigured Forcepoint EDR rule block a window for 5 seconds on copy and paste from Chrome to Word.

Another example: it takes ~2 seconds to run git on my work machine

    (Measure-Command { git status | Out-Null }).TotalSeconds

while running the same command on my personal Windows 11 virtual machine is near instant: ~0.1 seconds. Still slower than Linux, but not nearly as bad as my work machine.

not sure about worse. enabling evil-ex-visual-char-range allows you to do things ex commands in (neo)vim cannot do. That is, run things like !rev on a visual select. in (neo)vim this reverses the whole line where with (evil-ex-visual-char-range t) enabled in evil does what I'd argue is expected, only reversing the string selected in visual mode.

Short article, felt like what has been said before numerous times. I will opine why I was hesitant at first. The biggest reason was I didn't want to start writing a bunch of not-js (as in not a "strict superset" of js) and also having to deal with writing my own type definitions. I remember trying things like flow and reasonml and got quickly annoyed bending over backwards to use non-reason/flow code.

It seems like as of 2021 though that typescript has sort of won and the community has done great work in covering virtually every package I seem to use. npm helpfully points out which libraries have typescript definitions or a @types/<package>. I'm still not entirely sold on the strengths of strong typing in terms of bug avoidance, but the IDE like features are enormous. For me personally I see typescript more as a forced, never stale or mostly-incorrect, JSDoc.

tzset manpage for glibc explains this:

         If  the file specification filespec is omitted, or its value cannot be interpreted, then Coordi‐
       nated Universal Time (UTC) is used.  If filespec is given, it specifies another tzfile(5)-format
       file  to  read  the  timezone information from.  If filespec does not begin with a '/', the file
       specification is relative to the system timezone directory.  If the colon is omitted each of the
       above TZ formats will be tried.

you'd have to constantly update your TZ to reflect changing transition periods, which you don't even specify. using a tzdata file, you get this for free plus proper transitions for older dates.

more likely the libc. I have the same version of GNU date using glibc and this behavior persists, as I would expect.

tzset(3) explains this. GNU is actually sort of bailing the author out in the unfortunate cases like America/New_York where it ignores you forgot to provide the prepending colon.

In terms of EDT, LOL, etc: again, well explained in the tzset manpage. EST works only because it appears the timezone database has EST and again, GNU is being helpful and assuming you meant to add the prepended colon.

honestly, I've only ever needed to rebalance on a desktop system when statfs() returned an f_bavail=0 and some program decided to take this information seriously and refused to write at all. There are still quirks with statfs info coming from btrfs volumes only solved with intense rebalancing.

I can't speak for everyone, but in terms of administration, it's much easier to deal with than having to sort through the filesystem sundae you end up making with device mapper frameworks and the filesystem cherry on top of it all. In a humorous twist, subvolumes are basically thin provisioned logical volumes too and btrfs still had quotas to make them behave as such.

This is what I was thinking as well. It just means packagers have to be mindful of what kind of files their maintained software makes and to appropriately carry these metadata changes where they are needed. I don't really see an issue with this mindset.
