@variablepulserate I'm generally the antonym of 'trendy'. :D

@joeo10 CentOS's original founder is doing just that. The churn on GitHub is enough that I have quieted notifications. We'll see is there is any success there. Tall order.
@matigo Rolling releases are fine and dandy for personal systems. Production servers? Oh hell no.
@matigo A monolithic entity like that at the core of the OS goes counter to what made Unix Unix. It's a philosophical beef. Also, early on, their binary logging was idiotic. That has improved quite a lot over time. I will admit that.
Thankfully, CentOS's founder realizes the folly and comes to the rescue.

I had a sneaking suspicion they'd pull this eventually. Turning CentOS into RHEL's perpetual beta. Which, I thought, Fedora Core was more suitable for but oh well.

@matigo NOTE: The box doesn't see much use now as the stuff is mostly in private GitHub repos now. One less thing to have to admin.
@matigo I transitioned the internal GIT repos and a few other things to a FreeBSD box back when the systemd nonsense irritated me. No regrets. Just means having to switch gears a bit shelling in.
Lesson re-learned.
Mobile hotspot on Windows 10 had issues. Devices could connect, showed no errors, but could not access the Internet.
So, I stupidly play "Google the issue"
I knew clicking "Reset networking", resetting the TCP/IP system from a admin powershell session, etc would do nothing. But, I did it anyway.
Then, I got mad and did the dumb thing I thought would work. A thing that I should not have had to do.
I forced the DNS server addresses.
Everything works peachy.
