  • For starters: Rails, PHP, and passthrough routing stacks like message handlers and anything that expects socket handling. It’s just not built for that, OR session management for such things if whatever it’s talking to isn’t doing so.

    It seems like you think I’m talking smack about HAProxy, but you don’t understand it’s real origin or strengths and assume it can do anything.

    It can’t. Neither can any of the other services I mentioned.

    Chill out, kid.




  • Here’s how it would work. Let’s use New York as an example:

    1. State Congress gets pissed, and says the due funds from the Federal Government isn’t coming back
    2. Sign a law forbidding any tax collecting entities in the state from sending funds from retailers or individuals to the federal government
    3. Enact said law and cite every single violation of the constitution and federally enacted laws as a breach of contract for the colonies in reference to the constitution since they all exist with constitutional decree as a stated legal document
    4. In weeks Trump runs out of money. It’ll be quick.

    In that time, they will threaten to arrest the federal representatives for sedition, arrest state lawmakers, and possibly bomb or kill average citizens as retribution to try and get things flowing again.

    They’re treating the government like a Mafia. Same as the British before we became independent. Cut off the flow of money, and they will absolutely do everything in their power to force compliance.

    Same thing happened in the Revolutionary War, in Germany in both WW1 and WW2, as well as the Civil War.

    These assholes do not give two shits about what this country means, or what it stands for. They only want subservience to their ends. Fuck that shit.





  • I’ll be honest with you here, Nginx kind of ate httpd’s lunch 15 years ago, and with good reason.

    It’s not that httpd is “bad”, or not useful, or anything like that. It’s that it’s not as efficient and fast.

    The Apache DID try to address this awhile back, but it was too late. All the better features of nginx just kinda did httpd in IMO.

    Apache is fine, it’s easy to learn, there’s a ton of docs around for it, but a massively diminished userbase, meaning less up to date information for new users to find in forums in the like.




  • That’s not really the point though. I’m not even talking about end users. Government agencies, corporate backend services, customer service agencies and more are all abandoning Windows for Linux partially because Win11 is a horrible product, but also because the requirements just keep growing which is stupid.

    Microsoft’s response to this is the above, which they were STAUNCHLY opposed to previously because they need to try and force AI down users throats to justify the money they have pissed away on it. They’re shoehorning Copilot bullshit into every product line they have now, and it’s WILDLY unpopular and unnecessary. If this is the best they can do to address it, they’ll continue to hemorrhage users.

    When more state agencies in the US start switching, they’ll release some “Windows Lite” bullshit, but it will too late because the commitments needed for these organizations to bother switching is massive. They’ll be losing licenses for an entire generation of Windows at the very least.
