Empty shelves in #Trump tainted #America is very reminiscent of #Soviet #Russia.
#Putin is pleased with his #puppet in the White House! https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/04/25/trump-has-two-weeks-to-save-america-from-empty-shelves/

On tomorrow’s build #stream we’ll be doing ears for this charming goblin #puppet. Thursdays 10am ET, all links on https://www.operationpuppet.com/

When I say 'dop-in replacement' I mean it: #OpenVox (7.x up to 8.11) is functionally equivalent to #Puppet. The commands and configuration files are the same. You just uninstall puppet-agent, install openvox-agent, and that's it. There is absolutely no reason to pay Puppet Inc. for access to open source software.
Today is the day. #Puppet is dead, long live #OpenVox
Background: Perforce bought Puppet in 2022, betrayed the #FOSS community and changed the license. This resulted in a #fork called #OpenVoxProject, but old puppet releases still worked, so many #DevOps did not care enough to switch.
Yesterday the release key for the free puppet packages expired. It is unlikely that they will renew those keys.
It's time to move on. https://voxpupuli.org/openvox/ is a drop-in replacement. #FOSS saved the day again!
Stream follow up: as promised the ogre I worked on during today’s #puppet build stream is done, topknot and all! #puppetbuilding
Do you know why the orange menace wants places like Canada and Greenland? What do these things have in common? Mineral deposits! Maybe the reason Elon paid $250mil was to get ownership of the Rare Earth Minerals after Trump annexes these countries.
* He also only attacks those he has no deal with. Ever notice he isn't attacking Putin.
Felon Trump promised that on his first day in office the wars in Gaza and the Ukraine would be over.
He’s only made things worse for the people of Ukraine and Gaza as he bends the knee and kisses the asses of Putin and Netanyahu.

How odd is this timing, eh? Not if they were working in sync. Remember, lives were lost.

"The Trump administration has publicly and privately signaled that it does not believe Russia represents a cyber threat against US national security or critical infrastructure, marking a radical departure from longstanding intelligence assessments."

The biggest problem of #Trump is that he cannot admit #mistakes. His fight against critics makes him blind for how much #Putin plays him like a #puppet. His way of handling #Selenskyj is just another example of this. The framing of #support for #Ukraine as #left by #Putins #propaganda makes him want to end it without thinking of consequences. And he just doesn't listen. If he really wants to make America great again, he better is no #pussy and steps up against #Putin. #maga
Wow. It's not often that you see corporate flunkies declare publicly and proudly how little they understand #opensource. It makes me wonder how much #puppet has ever contributed back to the projects that they build their product on top of, like @JRuby for example.
Oh wait, no I already know that one. It's zero.
