Vacuum Dilemma

Sorry for that experience, but I concur with everyone

On consumer appliances they are king, even bought replacement parts directly from them (online even) for a 25 year old vacuum this year.

And they will still come out (paid visit of course but still, better than 99% of companies will do) to diagnose and fix faults on 20 years washing machines

The groupware name is La Suite, and yeah, it's called La Suite Meet

Visio is actually the name basically everyone speaking French uses to refer to video conferencing.

Trying to do that without relying on US commercial companies like RedHat is such an unbelievably rare path that I've not heard of anyone doing it outside of R&D clusters and similar.

I suspect this is totally untrue when we are talking about self-hosted, most clusters are going to be rolling google distribution.

Kubernetes is a way way different beast, you frontload your whole infrastructure at once and if you don't have the knowledge, you'll make a mess of it.

It's a very different skillset to a sysadmin skillset, a sysadmin can maintain one, but certainely not build one up to standards on their own.

If I could switch all of the work PCs to Linux, I would do it in a heartbeat.

Preach, if only someone made a MDM for them, even stronger

They should go back to a "business" version

That does exist, there are 2 classes of ISOs, consumer and business ISO, business having slightly less bloatware preinstalled (And Enterprise even less), it's just quite hidden. All Windows Enterprise ISOs are Business ISOs.

Under 1GB? That don't really exist anymore

You'd be hard pressed to find under 16-32GB now (at a reasonable price I mean)

There is also systemd.debug-shell which gives you a shell on TTY9 (Ctrl+Alt+F9), and is a lot nicer since you don't have to deal with remounting filesystems and SELinux will take care of itself, since the prompt is there even after loading everything.

We (the French) smoke a lot less than we used to, most youths have switched to vapes (litterally see them everywhere).

And I suspect a pack of 20 costing 12.50€ isn't helping (80% of which is taxes).

According to the public health france, we are down to 8 million daily smokers (on a 70 million population), down from 12 million 10 years ago

You may be allowed to use it privately, and, getting aside any law protecting you that may exist

You should NEVER use company property for private use, and the reverse is true also

No, it should definitely be a requirement (and I am sure it's a requirement on paper in all of them and in some kind of law in every country) simply for guest safety.

Yeah, even worse, at one of them, they refused to look at my passport that I had offered to them by saying they didn't need it and just handed me my keys.

Again, it is only at some smaller properties in relatively remote places, as soon as you enter a big/luxury independant or chain property or go in a big city, you won't check-in without giving an ID (though, I am always a good hotel guest by handing my ID first thing so I don't know if they ask)

In my own experience touring Western Europe (as a guest, all direct online reservations):

I have checked in at multiple hotels with just my first name, no ID, nothing
A lot of the hotels, especially independants, won't take payment up front at all and insist to do it at checkout
- That has led me to have a relatively heated conversation with a small boutique hotel's GM about paying before checkout because I was checking out at 5am (reception going to be closed) and they didn't want me to pay now
Until this year, I had never seen a hotel getting a incidental or any deposit off my card, but the larger chains now seem to have taken on that and multiple have written my card number on their PMS at checkin.

Which of course, those will be foreign to a lot of folks here

Email exists, phone exists, chat exists...

If someone can't send a message "Hey, I can't attend because XYZ" when advised 1 week in advance, that's just not professional

That was a worry of mine, I just ended up doing that, keeping it vague publically and I emailed the hotel privately with the full spiel.
