    My guess is that if you’re going to start a MSP you can do that with Foss and probably have a lot of success as long as you’ve got the sales chops to get the contracts.

    Then you can funnel some of your customers money to foss well also increasing awareness and adoption of the better free and open source software programs

    Most of the small to mid size companies that I have worked for would choose a larger more established system that costs more even if it offers less over a self-hosted one that they had to pay some sort of fee for.

    Is like this weird idea in the business world that if you’re using Foss systems that it must be completely free, and that the reason why you are using it is because you are broke or cheap.


  • I work in it and one of our employees brought a laptop to us that had been completely and thoroughly dismantled with a screwdriver.

    She told us that she wanted to remove the hard drive but she couldn’t find it.

    It had a flash hard drive that had been detached from the board was sitting next to the Wi-Fi card.

    Me and the other it guy just kind of like looked at each other for a minute and then got her a new laptop.

    To be fair she was due for an upgrade anyway, but I’ve never had anyone dismantle their soon to be recycled devices.



  • To a certain point I agree with you, mild psychedelics have been used for millennia to help people uncover their own issues and work through them.

    The other side of that is that it is not a cure-all, and most of the people that habitually use psychedelics tend to check out from reality.

    So, even if they can be used medicinally and be helpful, they are a double-edged sword in that just because you’ve seen through some of your own assumptions doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve pierced the veil of the greater illusion of Maya.


  • The other thing is it’s not exactly like the matrix is made to be broken. People have been talking about the concept of Maya, that the world as presented to us is nothing but an illusion meant to keep us trapped, for thousands of years.

    They claim that the enlightened people the bodhisattvas the jesus’s and Muhammad’s have broken through the illusion and stayed back to help guide us along the way.

    Which is all well and good but that does not mean that breaking the illusion is easy. It doesn’t even mean necessarily that it is possible because first you have to prove that an illusion exists and then you have to prove that there is a way to break it, and most people, I believe, go mad along the way.

    I said all of that to say, if you find a way to break out of the matrix please for the love of God show me the way.
