That's going away with people like poettering running the show.

I would back up data (ie /home, /var, /etc) with Borg. If things break, just do a fresh install and restore data.

If a server, run it as a proxmox guest and snapshot the image on a schedule.

There are also things you could maybe do with ZFS.

I recommend Linux mint cinnamon.

I'd rather be doing that on my own time, or something more productive with friends, thanks.

Late on a Friday? Yeah, no.

So their own job has no value. Got it.

Give it a few days. It's the smell. My guys do this if I give them a bath. They also often do it after they've been outside.

I prefer doing useful things with my workstation vs playing with the OS itself, so mint cinnamon is my recommendation. Servers are ansible-managed alma. Professionally I'm a Linux systems architect and devops engineer.

Me over here still rocking my pebble time steel. I like that pebble opted to be an accessory and not just a little full featured phone on your wrist. A shame they are gone.

Custom per-folder themes in Nemo with drag/drop templating like os/2 had. Extend to all apps, actually.

Each individual package is also signed.

Health insurance first please.

• use pfsense for a firewall. Using nftables, firewalld, etc should only really come into play if on an untrusted network. Firewalls on servers can cause more problems than they solve and are easy to misconfigure.
• run lynis on your Linux servers to help get them compliant with CIS benchmarks
• be careful with your reverse proxies
• keep things patched
• run only necessary services
• configure needed services conservatively
• no root logins

IT isn't developers. What is really needed is a developer on your team, or somebody who at least knows how to lead the effort. I've been that guy.

Ads should be separate from content and not interfere with it. Ad blockers likely wouldn't be a thing if this were followed. Also, ad networks are a security issue. Host them on your own servers with relationships with advertisers if you must have them.

They could always make actual relationships with advertisers and host ads on their own site. And make it not interfere with the content itself. Difficult concept, I know.

Make sure that power saving is disabled.

Borg for local data backups to backup share on nas. Proxmox takes guest snapshots. Rclone all of that to rsync.net. bonus, Borg can use the rcloned remote, if necessary, directly.

Alien isolation stressed me out.

Trains you can park cars on. Would be great for camping weekends where I need all of my gear but don't want to drive for hours.
