You are all missing the point.

Trees are not a "problem", but rather an untapped resource.

I mean look at them, millions, nah billions of them just sitting there, none of them are generating a penny for our billionaires.

Imagine what our glorious billionaires can do if we allow them to just chop down all those trees? Think of all the beautiful toiler paper for our collective asses, as well as the billion of bibles (including a copy of the constitution) that they can sell to us for the low low price of $65.

And as an added benefit, getting rid of all those trees will also eliminate the problem of forest fires. You can't have those without forests in the first place.

To be sure, some forests will need to be left alone, specially those close to residential areas, but not for the reasons that you think.

We need those forests to actually burn down, hopefully taking down those houses next to them. Why? Think about it. If all those houses burn down then we can use those trees we chopped down elsewhere to build new houses, a BOOM for the construction billionaires. And also, it means that houses next to those forest that can accidentally burn down will have to have an increase in their insurance premium, we can even make it so that forests close to houses have a private company to fight forest fires, think of all the benefits for billionaires.

Once you start thinking money, it all makes sense

Try 35 years

Somehow I’m a “Unix Wizard” because I know how to read log files?

Oh, and now I’m DevOps because I pythoned my way out of wet paper bag.

The issue is that this punishment establishes two classes of people. Those who can lose their citizenship because they can theoretically get another somewhere and those who cant.

Imagine if this child was born in the UK to British parents and has no other possible nationalities, what then?

When a country grants citizenship they should not be allowed to revoke it unless it was obtained fraudulently. Revoking citizenship should never be used as a form of punishment.

DHCP?

Your old host registered an fqdn and did mnt remove it, then the new host registered the same ip to a different fqdn.

It happens

I have no idea what you are using for dhcp/dns but start by looking there

Remember why CentOS (and WhiteBox) came to exist?

This is not the first time RedHat pulls that stunt, this is the reason I stick to pure Debian.

I like SUSE, but I’m hesitant of relying on another commercial entity although business requires it.

For now Deb and Ian are the safest bet and my daily driver since 2002, they have not let me down.

I needed to have a local mirror of VMware software, and logging into my.vmware.com, downloading, and then uploading was becoming tiresome.

I tried the VMware software solution, but:

  1. Windows only
  2. Borke all the time.

Then I found this:

Texiwill/aac-lib

It needs several packages pre-installed, but it mostly takes care of everything, as of now, it is running on a CentOS machine, the following script is running via cron daily, you will need to git pull acc-lib first.

#!/bin/bash
#
_USERNAME="my vmware account"
_PASSWORD="my vmware password"

cd ~aac-lib/vms
git pull

for _REPO in $(cat ~/vmware-repos.txt) 
do
  ./vsm.sh -c -y -nc --symlink --fav $_REPO -u $_USERNAME -p $_PASSWORD
done

Content of the vmware-repos.txt are similar to this, if you run vsm.sh you will understand the naming convention

Datacenter_Cloud_Infrastructure_VMware_Tools_12_x_VMware_Tools
Datacenter_Cloud_Infrastructure_VMware_vSphere_8_0_Enterprise_Plus
Infrastructure_Operations_Management_VMware_vRealize_Log_Insight_8_8

And here is a sample .vsmrc to get you started, I put everything in /data, which is a separate partition of about 4TB at the moment:

repo='/data/vmware-content'
cdir='/data/vmwarevsmxml'
symlink=1

I then export the vmware-content directory via a web server, just a nginx with FancyIndexing enabled, and also via NFS and FTP.

If you need more details, ask away.

I have been using this for a couple of years now, it rarely fails me.
