  • I am the Linux folks.

    FreeIPA is fine, and I don’t care much about the GPO aspect of Active Directory. But the standardization-by-ubiquity that made it easy for everyone to just follow along and make it so it Just Works has been a godsend.

    Yes Microsoft built on the shoulders of giants but trying to make things work with OpenLDAP or the other also-ran directory services was a nightmare.




  • Honestly it’s pretty good, but it’s very verbose in its commands and output.

    The default settings are irritating but it takes only minor tweaks to make it tolerable (mainly fixing the tab completion)

    It’s nicely consistent with its object handling.

    As a windows shell it is head and shoulders above cmd.exe. I’ve thought about using it on Linux but there I like fish better.


  • Linux doesn’t generally use extensions to decide what shell to use, so it doesn’t matter if it’s an sh file or not.

    If it uses bash of course you can substitute #!/bin/bash

    And of course you can use whatever shell you want, just saying that POSIX-compliance is not really relevant since the script can specify what shell it needs.







  • I’d say that none of it is in the now, because it all involves distance and time. All those “nows” are different yes but also the “now” at the tip of my nose is different than the “now” inside my eye, is different than the “now” in different parts of my brain. And all of those are different than the “now” that I believe myself to be experiencing. And all of these things are in the past.

    Our conceptual understanding of what “the present” means does not align with the facts.

    The problem with redefining “the present” to mean “our perceived present” is that any reaction we take is already too late. The stuff we experience as “now” is done and gone. Just like if the sun suddenly went out, we would not notice it for 8 minutes or so, but there would be no possible reaction to it to try to “fix” or otherwise change it. It would have already happened.

    Edit; also my point is just that the comic is correct except for the titles. Move the text and images to left, and it’s correct.
