Ron DeSantis: I’ll purge FBI on day one of my presidency

I wonder if he would actually do half the things he is campaigning on. A lot of what he doing in Florida are just populist policies to score points with idiots. He is fully aware they are gonna be challenged and likely overturned (or scaled down) by courts, but he just cares about the immediate "news" points he gets when the law is passed and he brags about it.

Definitely abhorrent human being willing to do anything just to score politically.

what will be my next server operating system (Fedora Server, Fedora CoreOS, NixOS), your experience and opinion

Yes, all packages in nixos are available as binaries to download.

The comparison with Arch was just in terms of number of packages. Not the binary availability.

At the bottom of this page, they say that binary cache is currently at 120TB. https://nixos.org/community/index.html

If packages being available as binaries is the main criteria, nix has you covered there.

The biggest issue for most people with Nixos is the learning curve just because it's so different.

Such a good point. I'm honestly surprised people recommend Nextcloud so frequently. I've used it in a commercial environment and it sucks ass. It broke numerous times when upgrading, it was buggy and slow. At the time their GitHub page had like 4k open issues and another 8k closed. Looks like it's somewhat better now. Many of issues we've experienced were reported but no movement for years. It's like least stable OSS I had dealt with.

US Question. Will the people that have to wait until 70 to get Social Security ever get what they paid in to it back out before they die since men's life expectancy is only 77 now?

They don't expect to go bankrupt by 2033. That's when the surplus/reserves will run out. The system doesn't have the fixed amount of money. Current employees are constantly paying into it.

20% is the shortfall between payout vs people paying in. And it will only happen if it's not addressed. Which I'm sure will get addressed last minute or something like that.
