You may be able to dispute that. I had a similar requirement, and it turns out the maps they based their decisions on were very out of date. I live on a hill that even a 30 foot swell wouldn’t touch. It took a while,and we had to work with the state emergency agency, but we were able to remove the requirement.

He genuinely can’t stand any opinion that differs from his own. Must be hell working for him.

It’s not a “burn” - it was the casus belli given for Nazi territorial expansion.

The problem there is that the national flood insurance program heavily subsidizes flood insurance and artificially drives down the cost of living in a flood zone.

That was the part I found surprising. That somebody died from it. Maybe it wasn’t diagnosed soon enough or they had comorbidities or something.

What if they start it?

This was the first recorded death from the disease in the county since 2007

… What?

I read a lot of advice online for distros, but my main needs are not really discussed.

You’re not special and Linux distros aren’t that specialized. They differ in packaging, upgrade philosophy, etc. There is no Linux distro that can’t do the things others do.

You dabbled with Ubuntu. Stick with it, you’ll be fine. Unless you really want mint, then go for it you’ll be fine.

This needs to be pinned to every single “looking for a distro” post.

It’s hard being a brownshirt.

The official declined to comment further “out of respect for the privacy of the family and loved ones” of the reported victim.

The Trump administration doing something out of respect? 🤣

That’s awesome.

As a proper “gray beard” myself the utility of systemd vs. sys-v init scripts has always been blindingly obvious. 🤷

Dude - you gotta get off the snap hate train for a bit.

Do you not understand the difference between “hey, run this rando shell script on the internet” and “hey, use this standardized installer which may run some shell scripts”?

I don’t give a shit about all the canonical hate. For me snap does what I want:

1. Installs things in a standardized way using a standard interface i can easily script with ansible
2. Provides a similarly standardized way of upgrading and uninstalling that can also be automated easily with ansible
3. Works “just fine”.
4. Edit - I’ll add in a fourth - creates a fucking binary I can run (no flatpak run something.something.something BS)

It’s not bash I’m criticizing. Do you understand that? Because stop reading if you don’t and go back through my list. I’ll wait.

So good - you get that bash isn’t the problem. It’s the bespoke unstructured installer/upgrader/unisntaller part that is bad. You could write your installer in C, Python, etc. and I’ll levy the same complaints. You want me to install your python app? It should be available through pypi and pip. Not some rando bespoke installer.

This is the classic conspiracy theory logic laid bare. A long string of facts tied together with plausible sounding but made-up reasons.

Just because your theory could explain it doesn’t mean it does explain it.

Ah - you have discovered my complaint.

That is precisely why I went with microk8s instead. I don’t install software from people who can’t be bothered to package their software using standard deployment tools which has been the correct way to distribute Linux software for decades.

That’s what an educated person sounds like Donald.

They try this every 5 years or so. Microsoft gives them some short term discounts and they come running back back.

You’ve made this about snap. Flatpak, rpm, deb, etc. all work too.

You’re welcome to make whatever bad decisions you like. I can manage snaps with standard tooling. I can install, update, remove them with simple ansible scripts in a standard way.

Bash installers are bad. End of.
