sudo is non-default on Debian. Most Debian users aren't gonna have it installed and will likely already know to `su -` before running apt.

Agreed. Despite its many failures, Microsoft is still the best second-to-market company in the world.

I pronounce SQLite as "ess-cue-ell-ite" (/ˌɛsˌkjuːˌɛlˈaɪt/), like the mineral... like how its creator D. Richard Hipp pronounces it.

An SQLite database that services requests from a multi-threaded web server is at risk of becoming corrupted.

I'd expect a slow trickle of old Windows 10 machines over the next 3-5 years. Most units will have weak GPUs, which is fine for servers or retro gaming, but not AAA games. So, not a flood.

Enterprises will keep most Windows 10 PCs going because ESU is only $61 per PC. Consumers can get a year of free updates by enrolling in some Microsoft services. $61 is the cheapest and least cash-heavy option, and the only option for shops stuck on Windows 11 app compatibility.

I doubt it will be a flood. There are still many Windows 7 users on the Internet. Some people don't have any choice but to take the risk and hope for the best.

It's a bit hypocritical. The LKML thread made me think of the tens of thousands of existing formatting issues in the C code, and how most maintainers are unwilling to accept patches for them. When you try to fix them, you are told to stop churning code and to go play in the "staging" directory.

The FreeBSD people who use Webmin, Bhyve, or Sylve probably do.

Operation snip-snip is peace of mind.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

Who needs enemies when you have friends like Trump?
