   I think #SuSE 6.1 was my first distro. (I actually paid for a CD set.) Followed shortly by the old #Red_Hat 6.1, then RH 6.2, then #Caldera OpenLinux 2.2.
   
   When Caldera bought Santa Cruz Operation and renamed themselves The #SCO Group ... abandoned their Linux distro and started suing Linux vendors, I moved to #Fedora.

     I mostly live in CentOS these days, but I need to use #suse for a specific application. That said, see https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni/issues/804#issuecomment-644894614

     The likelihood that we get our shit together and actually do it is pretty low. It is really going to depend on how bad things get. There was lots of anti-Asian sentiment early in the year in large part due to Darth Cheeto. We are mostly insulated from that sort of stuff in Minneapolis. Maybe things will stay that way, but I don't want to get to a place where we need to leave and we haven't even thought about it.

   I haven't made a fuss about the master-slave topology, however now things have become weird. There's an ongoing effort to deprecated the master branch's name in Git, which I find to be a strange move as the master-slave topology doesn't even apply to git – all branches are independent by design. Maybe I'm employing an overly rational approach, but shouldn't our actions make …
