I was saying:

most data center admins using linux are not so stupid to subscribe to remote updates from a third party

Your response is not related in any way to that. If a third party software - running on system rights - forces auto-updates, that’s called a “rootkit” and any sane admin would refuse to install such a package.

Competent here also meaning “if the upper management refuses to listen to my advice, I leave because I have other options”. People who implement stupid policies - and especially technological solutions - against their principles are a cancer to democracy. Those are the people that enable tech-illiterate morons to implement totalitarian regimes.

had similar issues with specific Linux distros a month ago. It just didn’t get reported on because it didn’t have as wide of an impact.

Because most data center admins using linux are not so stupid to subscribe to remote updates from a third party. Linux issues happen when critical package vulnerabilities make it into the repo.

Fuck people in this country that believe in segregation.

How about imprison and forcefully reeducate? Segretation is not a matter of freedom of opinion as far as I am concerned. If you hate other people for how they look, you are mentally ill and or brainwashed and need medical / psychological attention.

Just did the math - for all mined gold in the world (~200 thousand tons) at 9 billion people, that would give us 22.4 grams of gold as currency / personal property to spend at any given time, if no one on the world had any “savings”. Considering that a 100 K EUR would already buy ~1.37 kg of gold, that’s a bit of a mismatch…

I am strongly anti-violence but sometimes I think a bit of torture wouldn’t be the worst means to remind politicians who they represent.

I didn’t mean I would keep gold at home, but as someone fundamentally opposed to stock market investment, I would like to have a way to at least protect my savings from devaluation by inflation…

But over 5 years? :(

Erm - 6.5% interest rate is a decent inflation compensation. If there wasn’t a risk even with gold, I’d use gold as my “secure savings” account.
