I'm bored. I came here to find interesting things to read.

Sorry, I've been on site for a week. Too busy to call out stupid for stupid.

Pretty simple to convert from CentOS Linux 8 to CentOS Stream 8.
https://centos.org/centos-stream/#converting-from-centos-linux-to-centos-stream

sudo dnf install centos-release-stream
sudo dnf swap centos-{linux,stream}-repos
sudo dnf distro-sync

Converted from a minimal install.

Just had KPMG reach out about a position. And it turns out that they do contract to hire for director level positions.

LOL, what a freaking joke. Imagine how sad your company has to be to hire these yahoos to audit you!

Too bad they never released a method to go from CentOS 7 to CentOS 8

Converting...

to...

curl -s -X GET "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/ips" | python -m json.tool | tr -d '{}','[]','"' | awk NF | sed 's/^ *//' | sed -ne 's/.*/allow &/p' | sed "/\b\(result\|ipv4_cidrs\|ipv6_cidrs\|etag\|success\|errors\|messages\)\b/d" | sed -ne 's/$/; &/p'

I can actually understand this as it goes along with much of the short term mentality bleeds into other areas.

If many individuals want to "job hop" (lack of better term) every two years or so, why not contract????

Not saying it will work out but KPMG thinks its worth a shot.

Yup, just a little up here. Maybe for an hour or two.

Don't confuse contract with contract to hire. I'm the world's biggest proponent of contracting. But also the biggest opponent of contract to hire. C2H means the company wants a contractor but is trying to trick someone who doesn't want to be a contractor into accepting the role under false pretenses.

Nope, they don't want someone who wants to do that, hence the "to hire" lie. They only want people who WANT to be hired, but are desperate so will do something irrational.
