aduwah··on If you don't opt out by Apr 24 GitHub will train on your private repos
I will join the club. +1 for ruining M$ AI with my garbage code
aduwah··on The future of version control
The only reason I have not defaulted to jj already is the inability to be messy with it. Easy to make mistakes without "git add"
aduwah··on Our commitment to Windows quality
I had a chat with a Linux fan the other day. They said Linux is better because you can replace kernels easily to get driver support for something that wasn't working.

The problem is that I do not want to mess around to make things work. This is the power of Windows. Everything is built around it and it does not need or want you to keep hacking it.

Don't get me wrong I am working on Mac and my personal dev laptop is a Linux Mint, but sometimes it physically hurt to find something that sends me down a rabbit hole yet again on Linux. I just think the whole "you have to hack it because you can and otherwise you don't really own it" thing is a big hurdle on Linux that keeps mainstream peeps to stay away

Not sure if I made sense, but yeah basically in order to challenge Windows Linux would need to "just work" which is not the case right now (or ever was)

aduwah··on I'm OK being left behind, thanks
Not to defend crypto, but this all applies to fiat too
aduwah··on Bucketsquatting is (finally) dead
It is not hygienic, but with only the account-id you are fine. In the IAM rules the attacker can always just use a * on their end, so it does not make a difference. You have to be conscious to set proper rules for your (owner) end tho.
aduwah··on BirdyChat becomes first European chat app that is interoperable with WhatsApp
I was a big fan of pidgin, but this premise makes me feel iffy.

Why would I ever want my work to intrude on my personal messaging? My private time is my own. Slack/Teams is perfect because I can mute it on a schedule when I stop for the day.

Anything that is urgent can be managed via Pagerduty or similar on a controlled fashion

aduwah··on I'm 34. Here's 34 things I wish I knew at 21
"Dump a good friend or family member because they're on a rough patch"

Suuuuure

aduwah··on Sins of the Children
If you've enjoyed these, give a go for Dogs of War too.
aduwah··on Briar keeps Iran connected via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi when the internet goes dark
When did CF do this?
aduwah··on Novo Nordisk launches Wegovy weight-loss pill in US, triggering price war
So far they proved to do the opposite.
aduwah··on Clicks Communicator
It would be nice to have something like this with a privacy OS
aduwah··on I'm a developer for a major food delivery app
Raising awareness is not a bad call. I would not know about this, if it would surface in a random US paper
aduwah··on Growing up in “404 Not Found”: China's nuclear city in the Gobi Desert
Thank you for sharing your story. Cannot wait for the next part
aduwah··on Elevated errors across many models
Take my condolences, Sunday outages are rough
aduwah··on Reverse engineering a $1B Legal AI tool exposed 100k+ confidential files
This will age badly
aduwah··on Ozempic 2.0 is on the way, and it could be even more transformative
This is a bit misguided. If you lose weight too fast, you will have tons of side effects no matter how safe the medication is. Your heart, kidney, pancreas can be stressed with too fast weight loss even without meds. Also you might end up with a lot of loose skin...

Also a new medication will have unknown long term side effects for sure that will surface over time, similar to the current ones.

In my case mounjaro was life changing (for the better). I would say 42kg over 15 months was fast enough already.

aduwah··on Mysterious drones have been spotted at airports across Europe
Oil still flowing
aduwah··on Messing with scraper bots
I wonder if the abuse bots could be somehow made to mine some crypto to give back to the bills they cause
aduwah··on Being poor vs. being broke
I can give you an example. Single divorced mother with two kids. Working in social care for minimal wage, often earning lower amounts than the people she cares for. There are no savings, no relatives to help. Job change is an uncertainty that could introduce homelessness for the whole family if it doesn't work out. Not many options there. Now if you move this scenario out of rich countries it will get even worse
aduwah··on Being poor vs. being broke
You are now educated about being poor. Enjoy!
aduwah··on Helm 4.0
CRDs in helm are such a freaking nightmare! You want a clean install because you are in a hole? No worries let's remove all the crds and delete/create everything else relying on them. Separating the two (crds and other objects) is a solution but then you have a bastardize thing to maintain that is not latching upstream

Also I cannot count how many times I had to double/triple run charts because crds were in a circular dependency. In a perfect world this must not be an issue but if you want to be a user of an upstream chart this is a pain

aduwah··on D2: Diagram Scripting Language
I would share it, but BigCorp would come after me. It is nothing terribly smart really. I am using steampipe to list all the regions for VPC/Subnets/NAT GW/IGW/[everything else networky] and loop through the list adding nodes to the diagram. There is a long list of accounts which all gets generated and committed in a git repo. The big challenge was to make it all readable instead of making a mess.
aduwah··on D2: Diagram Scripting Language
First of all, thanks for your work on D2, it is the coolest of them all IMHO. I would definitely use animations because management loves shiny things and if they are happy I get my salary bumped.

I have recently made a solution for dynamically codifying the network layout of AWS accounts with D2. D2 was the only solution that was allowing to render a lot of objects without having to fight the engine with tons of hints. My only complaint was/is that the sdk/d2lib was very under-documented, so initially I started off with generating text as a map before realizing that there is a better way that is barely used. It took me some time to figure out how to use the lib for the trickier parts.

aduwah··on My favorite cult sci-fi and fantasy books you may not have heard of before
So many lesser known modern books to recommend.

Memoires of an imaginary friend

Dogs of war (Adrian Tchaikovsky one)

The devil's detective

Red rising

The painted man

aduwah··on Automatic K8s pod placement to match external service zones
Mind you, that you are facing the same problem with any Autoscaling group that lives in multiple AZs. You don't need kubernetes for this
aduwah··on Serbian President to staff: You will be arrested if there is a cyber attack
Straight to jail
aduwah··on ChatControl: EU wants to scan all private messages, even in encrypted apps
You think too much about the Regular Joes/Janes. No-one will care for more than 2 weeks apart from tech people
aduwah··on ChatControl: EU wants to scan all private messages, even in encrypted apps
The way I understand if your solution would become popular, the law can come after you to provide a log of messages in plain text.

Also they will have the legal power to force the popular operating systems to enforce generic keylogging/packet capturing and whatnot.

I dread the day when all the unhinged bullshit comes to life as a single entity
