It reminds me of the silver ion spreading technique used in China to create rain and wash Beijing's roofs from desert sand. Now *that* is "cloud init". In a computing context, still no luck for me to understand what it means. Whoever coined the term "cloud" in this context didn't want to be descriptive. I want to call it "rabbit" or "Shub-Niggurath" to make that clear: "Everything about rabbit-init, a set of python scripts and utilities to make your rabbit images be all they can be!" -> bullshit "Shub-Niggurath-init is the defacto multi-distribution package that handles early initialization of a Shub-Niggurath instance." -> that must be the ritual part, before the rain comes. == hk -- _ _ We are free to share code and we code to share freedom (_X_)yne Foundation, Free Culture Foundry * https://www.dyne.org/donate _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
