  • The likely retaliation RH/IBM would take is simply banning the account, not starting a lawsuit immediately. However, rights holders may attempt sue before or after such an event, but likely after.

    RH thinks they have the right to distribute code in this manner, and they can keep doing so until challenged in court. You can do actions in general without asking the court every time, I think the same applies here as well.

    I personally think it is a violation in a strict sense, but at the same time I don’t think it really matters too much realistically. Stream is upstream RHEL, and they are very similar, and at some points in time, should be identical. It’s also not clear what you get exactly by suing RH/IBM. The likely case is that they settle or rule to have that section removed from the ToS.



  • I know btrfs alone doesn’t replace unraid on its own, but it does replace or at least substitutes most of the raid functionality. Btrfs is extremely flexible and it’s raid features are almost unmatched in capability for running in small environments where you may need to increase or decrease the number disks in an array at will and without much limitation.

    If you want a gui to manage various linux systems, you could look into cockpit. It can manage VMs, containers and other linux systems via a unified gui. I would recommend fedora if you want to give it a go.

    But you do you. I have not really had the desire to use unraid since i already know linux and manage the system myself without many tools, but i understand most people do not know linux that well and learning is a significant time sink.




  • Insurance doesn’t work very well for things like hurricanes. When big events happen that cause large percentages of their policy holders to file claims at the same time, it results in large payouts which causes increases in price. When prices go up, people don’t insure. This combined with the fact that florida gets hurricanes means prices for insurance are high.

    Maybe the state could help by introducing laws to help combat insurance fraud, but that could lead to consumers getting fucked by their insurance companies.
