I am a part of a team that provides expertise managing fleets of user endpoints and also servers/cloud for large commercial environments. On this site I occasionally share an in-the-trenches perspective of expertise-driven use of open source in commercial environments.

Due to unethical mafioso tactics of some of the "big tech" companies, commercial entities are not named.

The cartoon dogs give me a clear signal I am not going to bother reading this page.

It's amazing what stupid behavior you can get people to act out by putting some cutesy stickers and background wallpaper on things.

I like your thinking. Deterministic replay with QEMU is supplemental to the larger goal of reproducible builds. The communities concerned with the topic of reproducible software not only expect cohesive human-readable code that runs deterministically to produce binary reproducible results, but their originally stated goals require it.

Deterministic replay with QEMU is a "power tool" in the larger picture of these efforts.

Knockknock was one of my favorite things back in the day. I love Moxie's mindset. Nowadays I put Wireguard in front of everything.

You already posted one of the dumbest things ever posted on this site.

"no u" isn't going to change that.

I am on a team that provides commercial support for our Linux based user endpoints. We do not deploy endpoints with WiFi cards that require closed-source firmware.

SpaceX values meritocracy first and foremost. Boeing, not so much. One of these companies has a very bright future.

> I've already got 300 people [..]

Given the style of writing and argumentation you have prevented here, no one with leadership experience in the software industry is going to actually believe you. Maybe they're lateral to you.

And, even then, arguing quantity of engineers over quality of engineers is a pretty bad argument, especially on this site. So, yeah.

We didn't replace the HTML with Rust, if that's what you thought you were getting at. We use HTMX.

Anyone speaking, let alone behaving, like Telegram is "secure", ipso facto has won a Darwin Award. We won't see the results in the short-term, but yeah they have won it alright.
