So, Docker Desktop handles K8s networking, but what's an easy way to do that on a test server? microk8s doesn't work in ovirt due to nesting VMs. It really seems like setting up a singe-node cluster should not be this hard. -

China has a long history of radical swings, largely based on Emperors. I'm not sure we have enough data to say if that has continued with CCP leaders, but when Xi Jinping steps down for whatever reason, I'd guess all bets are off. -

say your #SELinux config looks the same. Why would you get different SELinux output in /var/log/messages?
for example, what is this bad boy?
kernel: evm: security.selinux

idk, the lands of what are now Afghanistan have traded hands many times over the millennia. I'd be shocked it China, India, or Pakistan didn't try to encroach on that territory in the near future. -

Seems like there is something screwy with #galera and #mariadb on #centos 7. It works great on #ubuntu.
Maybe something in the name resolution stack? It just won't keep 3 nodes in a cluster. so weird. -

As far as I'm aware, Adopt is still moving to Eclipse: https://blog.adoptopenjdk.net/2021/03/transition-to-eclipse-an-update/
That last post was in March though. I'm surprised I don't know if that got nixed. -

I think you are referring to this: https://www.infoq.com/news/2019/05/end-of-javax-package/
Ultimately, I think this quote sums it up if you want to look at it as a positive:
"Oracle contributed millions of lines of code in the reference implementations for Java EE, including GlassFish, Jersey, Grizzly, etc. Oracle contributed the Java EE TCK. This was a huge step for them, as it was highly confidential and proprietary until then. This was a very large asset, with millions of dollars in Java EE licensing revenue attached to it. Oracle is licensing their copyrights in all of the Java EE specifications. This includes all of the past work that happened at Sun and BEA, so it is a very large percentage of the overall content of the specifications."
I'm not convinced what Oracle did is any different than what Red Hat does. It's just more complicated because it's a language. And maybe that's a salient point. We don't treat pencils and nuclear bombs the same though they can both be weapons. Matters of degree matter.
Oracle gonna Oracle. I guess I'm just not going to waste cycles being upset about that, and I'm just focusing on the positive.
Fundamentally though, the doomsayers have been proven wrong about Java. Ultimately, that's my point. -

Oracle has largely been a good steward of #Java. The CentOSization of Java has been complex, and sure, there have been some Oraclisms, But the Java ecosystem is as healthy as it has ever been.
Part of the angst around Java over the last few years has simply been people groaning about change, but ultimately the modularization that came in 9, and the "rapid" release cycle is going to be good for Java. I mean, we are already years in at this point. I think it's obvious it has been good.
You can use our JDK/JRE builds if you like, but your distribution is going to have you covered, without having to deal with Oracle: https://www.openlogic.com/openjdk-downloads
There are lots of #JDK providers that aren't Oracle.
Of course, all of this has to be viewed from the Oracle lens. If Oracle didn't think this was the best thing for their bottom line, they wouldn't do it. Someone over there has convinced Larry that a heavy Java ecosystem is good for Oracle and that getting the JDK out in the open is good for that.
Then, of course, there's the API bullshit, and that really doesn't have much to do with Java at the end of the day. That's Larry having a pissing contest with Google. It could have ended up that they ended up pissing on the entire industry, but aside from a lot of unnecessary angst, I don't think they have really done any damage there. -

you are welcome. We are hoping to have things wrapped up by the end of the month, so you should hear something back soon one way or another. -

'But if the researchers add random links between people from different ethnic groups, the level of interracial marriage changes dramatically. “Our model predicts nearly complete racial integration upon the emergence of online dating, even if the number of partners that individuals meet from newly formed ties is small,” say Ortega and Hergovich.
And there is another surprising effect. The team measure the strength of marriages by measuring the average distance between partners before and after the introduction of online dating. “Our model also predicts that marriages created in a society with online dating tend to be stronger,” they say.'
The first point seems a relatively obvious outcome, though of course sometimes things that seem obvious don't turn out to be the case.
I'm not sure the second point is all that surprising. When you strip away the social pressures and family pressures of "oh they are so good for you" you end up marrying people that you...want to marry.

btw, I don't think you need to do a lot of prep for this. The real interview will be after the call with Vince, and will be a panel. I don't really know the purpose of this call, but hey, it's how things are done.
