I am not referring to fake government-run polls.

I am referring to polling agencies that are very west-leaning, and even they can't blatantly lie about it. His approval rating as of a month ago is 59-60% [1][2][3].

In fact his approval rating after the annexation of Crimea was at all time high of 85%. Check the sources. Again, these are not government-run polls.

Lots of good data on it (thanks to google):

And I am not saying Putin did or didn't order the poisoning of Navalny. I am just saying he is not the only one with motive/opportunity contrary to popular belief pushed in the mainstream media propaganda.

That is not true.

Putin's approval rating is actually pretty high even when measured by NGOs sponsored by the "West". You'll be surprised, but it is quoted to be 60% in July 2020. [1]

And while it is possible to blame Putin for this Navalny's incident, he isn't the only one with motive/opportunity. It is actually very sad that some HN readers sometimes have a strong tendency to blame Trump/Putin/Another for Everything. I get that they are very unpopular figures among liberals/progressives, but let's at least try to pretend to be more objective for a minute. How about maybe for a second or a little longer just think about it before proclaiming that clearly it's Putin? How about being maybe a little bit more self-critical for a minute? Maybe you don't have all the information and all the facts yet? Or maybe some facts aren't facts yet, and maybe there is a massive propaganda campaign (BBC/CNN/etc.)?

In my opinion, there is an alternate hypothesis. Putin is trying to finish building the last 6 km of the gas pipeline to Germany. It has been blocked by US sanctions for a long time. This incident adds fuel to the fire, and conveniently allows the US to impose more sanctions, and bend Germans (who actually want that pipeline because it is beneficial for Germany) to their will.

Of course they don't. It is Free OSS. And you implying that the maintainer put someone's life in harms way is simply not true. And the LICENSE says - no warranty or guarantee whatsoever... Use at your one risk. And the homeless people analogy makes very little sense, excuse me for being blunt. You are comparing software developers who use FOSS to homeless people??? You are comparing someone's FOSS project on github to poisoned food??? Are you for real??

This is just your opinion, and not a fact or some kind of social rule. In fact, I would say that using your logic, I can say that you should never ever express your opinion on such matters again, since you clearly don't know what you are talking about. Just giving it to you straight. My opinion is fact. Respect it! Do you see the irony?

Nomad is awesome. Just like the original author, our tiny team went with nomad for on-prem container orchestration instead of k8s. Since then we haven't spent much time on any nomad/consul maintenance, and all that time we got back - we spent on developing the product.

Basically, I agree with others that k8s is both complex and not fully mature yet.
