The oddest thing happened. I read the first paragraph, and my brain went "Seatbelts everyone!"

Anything without that shitty stuff that some people call icing.

You know the stuff. It also shows up on that mushy monstrosity that some people call sugar cookies.

The nearest PU will crash the game. What you really want is the nearest QPU.

TV? What's that?

We all know Frankenstein is the doctor, not the monster.

As a US non-homeowner, I'm not sure what you think I should do about it.

The user you are responding to has an account on a .ca domain. In Canada (as well as UK) it is more common for the rate to only be locked in for 5 years.

This contrasts interestingly with the current top comment, Subscriptions.

Is this some kind of prepaid nightmare? I'm across the pond, and what you're describing sounds vaguely familiar. But it was almost half a lifetime ago that I turned 18 and switched to unlimited postpaid.

The employer basically gets an interest-free loan for that extra week; whereas the employee might need to pay interest to a third party to make up for any shortfall on their end (e.g. credit cards, payday loans). Majority of people live paycheck-to-paycheck and can't cover an unexpected $1000 expense.

have you tried to setup sendmail on a machine lately?

No, that's what postfix is for.

It's $500/blade/yr for 10 years of security updates for unlimited VMs. Hard to beat, even with the recent price increase (I think it used to be $299?).

Landscape and kernel live-patching are also useful, as is ADsys.

Even without paid support, the two-year LTS cadence is a good balance between bleeding edge and stagnant stability. Debian doesn't follow a fixed release schedule; and RHEL is so bare-bones and out-of-date that you need EPEL just to make it useful.
