  • “configuring DHCP in networkd/NetworkManager systems is almost impossible, here’s how I did it”

    six lines.

    Outside of Systemd and all its other neu-code shyte, it’s a one-line change to either your network config or your dhclient.conf. It’s been around 35 years and well-tested, and didn’t need St Lennart’s cancer to somehow fix.

    When it ain’t broke …













  • But the price of [using RTO to force downsize] is not negligible. For one, management can’t control who will quit, so it’s a rather risky way to reduce the size of a company. You could lose the guy who never does anything, but you could also lose your star player.

    The Dead Sea Effect says you WILL lose your star player, usually first. Those you value most for versatility make the best candidates to someone ELSE as well.

    But look on the bright side: the super star you lose to an opening at a competitor means someone else didn’t get that job, and you can hire the loser to replace your winner …usually for more. Yay for shareholder value!
