You guys... the lemmynsfw community had the term "child-like" in its sidebar. Why is everybody conveniently forgetting that? Don't even try saying that's not a disgusting request to have in a sidebar too.

Is eating a lot of canned food bad? (sopuli.xyz)
 

I recently gave up eating takeout every night, but I'm too lazy to cook, which led to me replacing it with basically nothing but canned food. Like I'll mix a can of beans and a can of mixed vegetables together, put half in a bowl and put the other half in a container for tomorrow, put salad dressing on it, and then that's my dinner. I also eat a half can of fruit per day, because I found the shelf life and inconsistencies with produce to be too annoying.

On the one hand, I think I'm eating better than I was when I was doing nothing but takeout. My salt consumption has plummeted, and in general, I think the nutritional facts for my canned meal are better across the board than the takeout meals I was doing.

On the other hand, if there's some long term issue with eating too much canned food, then I'm definitely going to be affected by it. I was thinking cats lead pretty good lives with nothing but canned food, so maybe I'll be ok.

Anyway, am I going to die a horrible canned food death, or am I ok?

I'm starting a new job on Monday though! in c/memes@sopuli.xyz

Red Hat refuses Alma's CVE patches to CentOS Stream; says "no customer demand" in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] yarn@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago (3 children)

CentOS Stream is the staging ground for RHEL. It isn't a bleeding edge distro that can accept any merge request willy-nilly. For the reason why, reread my original comment about the nature of enterprise support.

Fedora is the distro that is more bleeding edge in the RHEL realm. This merge request was more suited for Fedora, and the fix was successfully applied to Fedora. So, I fail to see any irrational actions from Red Hat here.

I haven't been really keeping up with this RHEL drama, so I'm probably going to regret making this comment. But about this bug merge request in particular, you have to remember that RHEL's main target audience is paying enterprise customers. It's the "E" right there in RHEL. So stability is a high priority for their developers, since if they accidentally introduce a bug to their code, then they'll have a lot of unhappy paying customers.

The next comment that was cropped out of that screenshot basically explains exactly that. While the Red Hat developers probably appreciate the bug fix, the reality is that the bug was listed as non-critical, and the Red Hat teams didn't have the capacity to adequately regression test and QA the merge request. But the patch was successfully merged into Fedora, so it will eventually end up in RHEL through that path, which is exactly what the Fedora path is for.

The blowup about this particulat bug doesn't seem justified to me. Red Hat obviously can't fix and regression test every single bug that's listed in their bug tracker. So why arbitrarily focus on this one medium priority bug? if it were listed as a critical bug, then yes, the blowup would be justified.

What career paths are available out in rural areas for someone looking for a career change? (sopuli.xyz)
 

I'm a depressed web developer who's hypothetically thinking about a possible career change. The issue is I live in a rural area. I'm wondering what kind of new career paths would be available to me out in the country? Two I can possibly think of would be a welder and construction, but I have no idea beyond that. Plus there's the plethora of things I could possibly do online that Inhave no idea about.

I will most likely just stay as a work from home web developer, so don't worry too much about me. But still wondering what possible alternatives there are out there, if anybody has any ideas they wouldn't mind sharing.

I also realize that "rural" might not be specific enough, but I don't want to get any more specific than that for privacy reasons.
