The enterprise architecture group at my employer seems to do nothing but introduce unnecessary bureaucracy and mandate tech choices with no input from those who have to use it.
Enterprise architecture is a form of quiet quitting. Just print out the Bash or Yaml files or whatever you used to configure your system and show it to your team: see guys it is just users, groups, files, processes, network interfaces, ports, ip addresses, dns records and the like.
Big depositors are moving their money out of small banks and into big banks because they see that big banks will get bailouts if they get into trouble whereas small banks will only get the 250k insurance.
Nice bit of consolidation. will make it easier for the gov to roll out central bank digital currency and obtain even more control over our lives.
And then we can create an authoritarian uniparty to govern us all from behind a false appearance of a choice between two fake parties.
One of the facade parties we can make appeal to one half of society and the other we can make appeal to the other half of the society to make commoners think they are both choosing, having a say, and can feel virtuous about their fake choice opposed to the folks who chose the other faker party.
There can even be meaningless elections where the people can choose between the things the uniparty was going to do anyways like killing people.
Eventually we can just call it The Party and we can be at war with Eurasia, as we always have been.
Gitlab is massive piece of software, and has inordinate HW requirements for the job we'd be using it for. Also it would not run on the VM we already have set up for other services, backed up, etc.
Gitea is fun and all, but it's not in debian repo, so would require manual updates. Annoying.
I'm older than you by a good measure, and I did this last year. I came back, decided to quit my job entirely, then found a better job for more pay at the start of the year. Your mileage will vary, of course, but there are still large segments of the industry where experience is an asset and not a liability.

I gotta agree with this, I'm mid 50s and got 'hired' 3 times in the last 2 years (once with actual employer, twice with clients 'accepting' me to project teams). If you stay relevant, there's still a lot of work.
In my mid-50s, and a consultant for a F500 - I've not had any issues with age discrimination. I tend to think its mostly a matter of staying up to date, and weeding out places that want to pay fresh graduate rates for experienced personnel.
there it is, the real reason for your moronic refusal to acknowledge the complexity of obesity. if it's just a matter of willpower alone, you get to get a nice little sense of superiority and an ego boost. everyone else is just stupid and lazy.
It is never an obese person's fault for stuffing themselves, it's always something else. In this thread it's the big bad pharma corps that don't give away for free diabetes drugs to people that don't have diabetes.
I wish you all the best, when you realize the problem is your lack of willpower maybe you'll lose weight and not gain it back.
This is absolutely false. The human body must always consume a minimum amount of energy for basic maintenance. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basal_metabolic_rate. While it does vary it also has a hard lower limit.
The basic metabolic rate varies between individuals. One study of 150 adults representative of the population in Scotland reported basal metabolic rates from as low as 1,027 kilocalories (4,300 kJ) per day to as high as 2,499 kilocalories (10,460 kJ); with a mean BMR of 1,500 kilocalories (6,300 kJ) per day.
When I typed that I was thinking of the basal metabolic rate, which is relatively constant for a person. Think of it as the calories a coma patient would need to stay alive.
