2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations. - Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
- We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
- Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed. Β
Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

Rhel 5? I hope y'all are using microsegmentation and have a good firewall.....JFC
...hope...
Why are you ok with this?
I am not. I worked hard to make our application support RHEL 8 and then RHEL 9. And then the politics takes over and the big wigs start an extended bickering over who should pay for the OS upgrade... which never happens. Sometimes hardware partners don't support the upgrades, which means OS upgrades also end up requiring new hardware.
I blame Redhat.
Surely your pay is much more than a RHEL license.
If nothing else you could move to Debian or Rocky Linux.
There is something you need to know about collective wisdom; the larger the org is, the lower it gets. Yes the application works on Alma 8 and 9, but the management says 'no'.
Yes and no
A healthy organization shouldn't be having this issue.
Cool, welcome to reality where I don't think you will ever find a organization that is healthy head to toe.
Honestly I don't think they exist at all but I know you'll come back with some nitpick cherrypicked example as "proof"
The only way that will work is to somehow quit and rejoin as a much more highly paid consultant and enable them to upgrade EOL software in prod. I am actually considering this.
IT installed a firewall between the legacy environment and everything else. Devs threw a fit and so the firewall was configured with a default allow rule. Security was last seen crying into their beer.
I'd get out before it implodes. This sounds like a poorly managed company. When something bad happens they will find escape goats.
Well now I want to stick around. Who wouldn't want an escape goat?
