Complying in advance will ruin us all.

Everyone appears to be hitting the "shut up, no one cares".

There is also the "stop worrying, no one cares." This is meant to be reassuring. It may be literal.

The thing is.... The upgrade path degrades. Once one is 3 or more major versions behind, upgrading becomes technically challenging. (I have done this a few times....) It is better to just reinstall.

That said, a Debian system that works won't just stop working. My Raspberry Pi 2 has no issues since the initial install.

Professionally, it is better to have a fast recovery path. PXE boot, Debian preseed, a config management system (Ansible, Puppet, etc) and local caches and you can be set in 10 minutes. (After years of setting all of that up.)

I have often used this one. The drive to replicate is often strong. Replicate, then ensure they are successful. Then work for everyone's success. (With freedom to ignore or reorder based on current events.)

“what should I do in life?”

This one is a struggle. We all need an individual answer, and have to find it ourselves.

Equal.

Assuming they consider the company evil, tbey both have a moral imperative to find another company.

The 42nd character in ascii is an asterisk (*) which is typically used for wildcard entries.

That is fascinating!
Is there evidence Douglas Adams intended that? Really cool regardless.

I suspect people rarely consider the Meaning of Life, so it has little value. We exist. We can aid others. Suffering, above the amount dealt by life and luck, is unnecessary.

Word games as philosophy are uninteresting.

Edit: clarified my view on suffering. Too many people beat on others only to cause suffering.
