Chrome is hot garbage.
A long time ago it was a snappy rebel browser that took the Internet by storm.
Today it's worse than IE ever was, tracking your browsing habits and sharing them with advertisers even if you take efforts to protect your privacy. It's all out-out too.

Initial findings with the

screwdriver:
1. It has a very thin shaft (compared to other ratchets, not normal drivers lol), good for tight spaces
2. Good hand-feel for the ratchet, though this adds a tiny bit to runout (worse for some types of work)

What I hate most about Red Hat's response is they call anyone who wants CentOS a freeloader, when:
1. There's nothing morally wrong about being a user of OSS without contributing.
2. Almost all RH employees, contributors, an (former, now) advocates I know have relied on CentOS.

I love freeloaders. So freeload my book, please! No, seriously, grab a free copy and learn to automate with Ansible!
The book's text is even open source (CC BY-SA), so if you wanna republish it and make money on it, be my guest!

3. Bit holder is a bit tight brand new. Takes at least 50-100 cycles before bit holder feels 'right' coming out
4. I like the selector going right-for-right spin, left-for-left spin. That's opposite most ratchets but whether you like it is personal preference

Just shut down over 80 servers for a service that I started when I had just finished college and ran for over 1,000 customers over 14 years.
End of a personal era there, but it was a great journey that taught me a LOT about business/infra/support/architecture through a decade.

This morning, RH folks are jumping in DMs, comments, etc. spreading two falsehoods:
1. "Ansible was proprietary and Red Hat open sourced it" (AWX was, NOT Ansible lol)

Apparently this week they dropped the Google Workspace Business Standard plan from 1TB shared pool to 30GB.
That's a *97%* decrease in storage space for $6/month.
Apparently I can get back to 2TB if I double the spend at $12/month.
Time to look at another option.
I thought my Google Workspace had 1TB of storage space but suddenly I'm getting warnings I'm over quota with 300 GB of files in there... saying I only have 30 GB.
Did Google change its paid plan to only include 30 GB this year?

This thread highlights (a) the stressful production schedule problem (which
@GamersNexus
highlighted too), and (b) some sexist behaviors that need to be stomped out in tech spheres (well, everywhere, but for some reason it seems to persist more in tech).
To stop the speculation and DM's I am receiving.
I chose to quit my role at LTT because it, and the working environment I was facing, were ruining my mental health.
The number of daily items the Social media role at the time was expected to fill was incredibly high.
