  • I get CLI users, sometimes using the cli is faster and more efficient.

    However I have had frequent discussions with people (all of them also avid CLI users) that set up infrastructure as code. I prefer the super understandable Gui of a tool like octopus deploy over hundreds of yaml files whose content can only be understood by doing a year long deep dive any day.

    They always use the same two arguments: Infrastructure as code allows you to rebuild your entire software deployment from scratch, and the code can be versioned, thereby providing an audit trail for deployments.

    In decades of software development I have exactly had to redeploy an entire network from scratch 0 times. If you’re in that stage the cause is most likely hardware and re-provisioning that will probably take the bulk of your time.

    About the versioning: I’m not arguing against storing deployments as yaml files, but writing them by hand is insanely inefficient. There should be a nice GUI that generates and writes these yaml files, so you don’t have to know every option an value and every validation rule by heart.

    Also, I am relatively certain that a tool like octopus deploy also has auditing of who deployed what software in which location.





  • I mean the constant lying, petty and hateful behavior alone should be enough to get the guy impeached. Let alone the child raping and abuse of the office of president of the united states to enrich himself, his family and his inner circle.

    The whole Republican party, and a substantial part of the democratic party consists of spineless, weak traitors. Their names will go down in history as such. Now let’s steer towards consequences so that future politicians know that their job is to represent and not to enrich. It should be an honor to serve the many citizens you represent, it should be punished if you knowingly fail.








  • Seriously Canada, Europe and South America should band together and draw a red line.

    First of all, a joint statement calling out the US for all the Nazi shit they’re pulling. Diplomacy does nothing but embolden Trump. Then, economic, political and possibly military consequences for their actions.

    Start with export restrictions, trade with eachother but no longer with the US. Retract from intellectual property legislation like Trump retracted from climate agreements. Tax big tech. Send troops to the southern border in Canada and the northern border in Mexico, continue sending extra European troops on Greenland. Restrict travel.

    This will piss off the US population and just maybe they will then feel the need to start a civil war. It’s also the only course of action the Trump regime fears. Economic consequences and a show of military strength on all their borders.

    As soon as Greenland is occupied by the US military, Canada is essentially surrounded.


  • Honest? I don’t know if politicians are adamant enough.

    However, Trump (bullies in general) only respond to strength and violence.

    Rolling over will only embolden them more. Hopefully pointing a few nukes at the US mainland will cause their government to rethink their strategy. But this will only work if we’re willing to execute when push comes to shove.

    For some reason Russia causes Trump to roll out the red carpet, when Putin decides to grace Trump with a visit. This when he could easily force them to end the war in a few days. They are suffering terrible losses at the hand of a small country supported by NATO. I think it’s because he perceives Russia as “strong”, but in reality the only edge they have is nuclear power.

    So in short - yes, honestly I think Europe should stop trying to be diplomatic and start drawing a red line and seeing that strategy through.

    The united states’ government is now so obviously an enemy to Europe that diplomacy is clearly no longer an option.

    I think as soon as Europe starts putting their big boy pants on, Canada will join. Because if the US controls both Alaska and Greenland, Canada is next. They will probably already realise that. Hopefully talks are already underway between Canada and European nations. I would be surprised if this isn’t already a scenario they take into account.

    Mexico in the south, joined by a few other south American countries could also join in. As soon as the us is facing pressure from 3 sides, bringing the stakes to their physical borders, the tables might turn.

    And then there’s like 80% of the us population that could rise up against this. The public opinion is heavily dependent on how close the fight is to their borders.

    I believe if Europe starts reaching out NOW to Canada and south america, stop diplomacy with the US, call them out for every Nazi shit they’re pulling, and start economic, political and military pressure, we might avoid escalation.

    I really hope they already have this scenario on the back burner.




  • He is simply and clearly steering towards WW3.

    He needs oil to power the army, Venezuela provides him with the resources. He has just increased the military budget by 50% to 1.5 trillion dollars. You don’t need 1.5 trillion dollars for defence. He renamed the department of defense to department of War. It’s always right in front of your nose with this guy, but everyone refuses to believe someone can be such a retard.
