To an enormous extent are todays data centers, cloud providers, and all the techology the whole world use today based on open source. Without linux, curl, ffmpeg, and so on nothing in todays high tech society would work. Google, as it is today, would not exist if it was for all the open source they leech of.


Yeah! I forgot about revdep-rebuild! Now that you remind me I do remember being worried about having to rebuild modules, forgetting about it, having to boot frlm live and chroot, and what not going back to Gentoo. I had almsot completely forgotten about it because it is so smooth sailing now.


I started using Gentoo many years ago, and took a break from it for a few years. It has some overhead to maintain. Two years or so ago I went back to it and, no joke, it is so much simpler now. Dist-kernel, dracut, refind just sorted everything. I felt like I was cheating. I don’t have to write my own custom initramfs for my custom needs? Stuff just solves it? And compilation errors and conflicts even when running a bunch of keyworded packages: gone! What is going on?


I hope Sweden and more Erupoean contries does the same


Then migration will take years if they already are established in US cloud services


An American movie or TV show I would probably have the same level of understanding as my native language, even on references, puns, etc… English from any other nation, not to the same degree, but I’d say comparable to an american. Speaking I would say I would be quite far off. I’d say I speak a sort of “Erasmus English”, meaning I have almost exclusively had conversations with Europeans, none of which native to english. That means we borrow words which may be common to us, but not english, or accidentally apply our native grammatical rules to english.
In Sweden at least, I’m pretty sure PhD student positions have to be publically announced. That is mainly done on the homepage of the department. So fins all Universities, find the department for your field, find their page where they appear to announce positions. Then visit them over and over.
I think some places used the site “academic work”… Was it this one https://www.academicwork.se/ ?
I also think Swedish unis use linkedin sometimes.


Like the chumbawamba song
When
fine societyICE agents sits down to dine
Remember that someone is pissing in the wine
Gives you a shell where you basically are sudo for every command.
What do you mean? This
remoteuser@server$ nc -l -p 4444 > /dev/input/event0
localuser@laptop$ cat /dev/input/event0 | nc server 4444
doesn’t work?


The bum on the rods is hunted down as an enemy of mankind
The other is driven around to his club, is feted, wined and dined
And they who curse the bum on the rods as the essence of all that’s bad
Will greet the other with a willing smile and extend a hand so glad
The bum on the rods is a social flea who gets an occassional bite
The bum on the plush is a social leech, bloodsucking day and night
The bum on the rods is a load so light that his weight we scarcely feel
But it takes the labour of dozens of folks to furnish the other a meal
As long as we sanction the bum on the plush the other will always be there
But rid ourselves of the bum on the plush and the other will dissappear
Then make an intelligent organised kick get rid of the weights that crush
Dont worry about the bum on the rods get rid of the bum on the plush

Annie Lööf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annie_Lööf
While she is a crazy economically far right politician, who wants everyone to have higher rents, no welfare, and so on, the one thing her party (through many party leader switches since her) still stands against is the populist racist far right. While all other right wing parties adopted the far-right language and started collaborating with them, her party did not, and left their previous coallition to be in opposition instead. I have probably zero respect and understanding for her and her party’s politics, except for that one point. This position also led her to be a target of a planned neo nazi assassination, because of all the hate the far right (here I mean hate the actual far right party, which all the right parties collaborates with openly had for her) has for her and her party.
Works really great if you compile sudo with insults enabled: https://github.com/sudo-project/sudo/blob/70c1ee4b44f5b15822919c05ffbde857fa879e48/plugins/sudoers/ins_classic.h
