That is a poor analogy as you could still pull parts from other cars and repair and continue to use the car after the manufacturer stops creating replacements.

A better analogy would be: If you bought a car in 1970 and the company stopped making the super special fuel blend that they have a patent on and no one else is allowed to produce, making your car unusable. Is that theft?

That's a really smart idea!

Could you give some examples of these network distributed OS's that are going full steam ahead? Also interested in why you think those are less clunky than k8s. :)

For deployments using Argo, yea that's pretty much it. You can set it to automatically deploy to your target environment as soon as it detects changes to your k8s mainfests, or you can require a manual "approve" step which is a push of a button for configs that are out of sync with what is applied to k8s.

For rollbacks, you have a button in argo that lists previous deployments and you can just choose which previous deployment you want to go back to. It works pretty well those (thankfully few) times i have had to rollback any deployments.

Everything is a subdomain under the root domain, i.e. the dot (".") in a FQDN

That sounds more like fiber optic adapters/converters that fit into usb-ports and talk usb, rather than USB-cables that can be 50+ meters.

Apple Music is just so increadibly bad UX wise. I have a real hard time justifying paying for it and have considered many times to switch back to Spotify. Trying to find new and interesting music is pretty much impossible outside of the "here's what people listen to now" playlists. You need to know what to look for when searching for things.

Spotify was great for finding indie music bands, and could really give good recommendations. Apple music is not even in the same league.

Eh, im storing about 1.3TB of photos, its costing me around $10/month. That is an acceptable cost IMO.

As a linux user, i have just setup my own backup solution to backblaze using Rclone and their S3 compatible storage.

Ah, yes that is sketchy.

I'm not entirely sure how you would launder money through this service. From what i can tell no money is actually passed through it. It just generates a temporary credit card which is never billed. It is just used to bypass the "please enter your credit card for this free trial" prompts.

Doesnt seem very future proof. But looking around on their website that seems to be their (atleast publicly) only source of income.

What is their business model? How do they afford to host all this without selling data or charging money?

Price of pre-built will reflect the price for components. So if the GPU price increases, so will the pre-built price.

QA is not your test suite. Test your own code, submit working code, let QA try to break it.

Dont just push code and expect others to point out your flaws. Take some responsibility.

Yea, if a bug has been open without further discussion for 5 years then i would too take for granted that the issue is no longer an issue and close it.

I'm the same. Working from home means i no longer have to spend 2-3 hours commuting each day (add many hours to that for times when the trains breaks down, which is annoyingly often in Sweden).

I have also noticed that my own productivity has skyrocketed now that im working from home and dont have the regular office distractions. I can put on music that i like myself, sit in silence while drinking coffee and think about what im currently doing and how to solve a current issue.

However! It should be noted that i do miss the office from time to time, i havent been there in 1,5 years now. And will probably visit a couple times a month in the future when things start to clear up. But i will never go back to full-time-office-work.

P.S. it should be noted that i do have a dedicated "office" room in my house which is a luxury not many have. This helps alot with working from home. Had i had to do this from my living room or my kitchen i would have not survived this mentally.

Interesting, the conclusion only speculates that this can have security consequences. Anyone with better understanding that could provide an example of what would be possible to do using these instructions?

> That's kinda fun. The other thing I saw about this platform was that it was effectively being gamed by people flooding things like the Qanon hashtags with pictures of old men in their underpants - https://www.vice.com/en/article/5dbwgd/qanon-is-mad-at-trump...

That's pretty funny. And "old men in underpants" style of defacing was started by a youtuber called "Internet Commentiquette" if anyone is interested.

That first picture of mark zuckerberg smiling is just straight up cursed. Interesting write up though.

Bitwarden has worked great for me. Use it for personal stuff. At work we are stuck with lastpass, and it's such a pain to use.

My only complaint about bitwarden is that folder management in the macos app is not great. Adding passwords to new folders requires writing in the entire directory path. And i have to memorize the entirety of it, writing it incorrectly leads it to create new directories with those badly spelled names.

> Someone does voluntary work and people think that gives them some ethical privilege to be asked before someone puts their work to the test?

Yes. Someone sees the work provided to the community for free and thinks that gives them some ethical privilege to put that work to the test?

Terraform allows us to implement development practices into our sysadmin lives. Such as code reviews, etc.

For example, at my work this is what i do to apply changes to our AWS setup:

1. Fetch the latest version of our git repo.

2. Create a new git branch named after the Jira ticket im working on.

3. Solve the jira ticket by modifying the terraform code accordingly.

4. Submit a pull request and assign one of my colleagues as reviewer.

5. They review my solution, tell me to correct some issues that there might be, or straight up approves my solution.

6. My PR is merged into master.

7. I download the latest master version and apply the codebase.

This way we always have at least two people verify any changes to our infrastructure, minimizing the risk of fuckups and ensures solutions are as good as possible.

You dont necessarily need to use locks in the db. You can use transactions as well, unless you want to do major changes to the DB where transactions would be in constant conflict state.

Is it really a single point of failure though? Certificates are renewed well in advance, and there are several free alternatives with ACME support to LetsEncrypt today.

Switching to a new provider in case LetsEncrypt goes down is as simple as updating your scripts.

That's not the only contradiction either, the bible contains plenty of rules on how to manage your slaves as well. And a plethora of other stuff in direct violation of the license rules. Like stoning women for example.

I guess the SSO token will still be valid, just not usable for SSO purposes after those 30 days. And most likely you will just have to click "Accept" again on the cookie popup to get it working as before for another 30 days.

However, dont basically all SSO cookies live far shorter than 30 days? To my knowledge all SSO services i have used have expired earlier requiring me to log back in again.

Thank you for your work! I used to play Soldat for hours a day when it was first released.

I just software that downloads everything from my google photos albums and then only downloads any changes after that. Like rsync.
