  • Whaaait, this isn’t the full story. Microsoft build a new branch location in Munich. It’s obvious that there where some deals to get away from linux. (Maybe). The official story is, that the civil servants wants MS Office back.

    Actually there are new projects to get away from windows in gov at the other side of Germany: “Schleswig-Holstein”









  • I manage over 40 Debian clients in production use. All are managed with ansible. It’s the easiest time in my sysadmin time ever.

    My own systems are fedora and Debian unstable. Why? Because I test upcoming changes and features. And think how it would be if all 40 clients run on unstable or fedora, every day updates of 20-60 packages for nothing the user would care about.

    Debian stable is my hero.


















  • Nice list, I would add routers (not everywhere). But for example here in Germany you get a device from your ISP for free but don’t try to change the DNS settings because your ISP wants to know what you are doing online.

    Only alternative is a fritzbox which is highly overpriced for a simple router+modem. >200€ for a cablerouter.

    I had to buy a used fritzbox, need to nearly hacked them for activating the deactivated bridge-mode and put a cheap Asus router on it with flashed openwrt.

    I needed 6 months for the whole setup.
