While resources are fundamentally the same across clouds (i.e. they're all VMs, they all have firewalls etc), they are vastly different concepts and have different feature sets. It's almost impossible to do a like for like api call between two providers.

However, you can develop cloud agnostic modules that you can then consume, which allows for a decent cloud-agnostic experience.

Thanks Bill and all who have donated. Great to see this!

Heh, I struggle figure out what is a real review and what is a paid for ad. It's sad to the point where I've pretty much given up because of the sheer amount of time it would take to do the research. Instead I opt to go for Amazon's competitors (e.g. Currys and Argos for us in the UK) and pick something there. They're a little more vetted, and less likely to be knock off or something.

Great tip! I've been using DDG's official addon but this means one less addon. Thanks!

Last time I said "we can simply do x", x took is 3 times longer than expected.

Sure, and that's probably best. In my original comment, I specifically mentioned that what the FBI is asking for is reasonable providing there is a warrant, which would imply that they're gathering evidence lawfully.

So we shouldn't catch criminals then. By that logic, investigations, and evidence gathering for said investigations is not right either.

Agreed. This seems like a reasonable request to me, providing there is a warrant.

> why not just do a bash script with a switch in it?

Because with bash scripts you'd be re-inventing the wheel when it comes to dependencies, among other things.

Make certainly might not be the right tool for having a bunch of "dev commands" that aren't targets/recipes, but bash isn't it either. There is plenty of task runners that allow you to have a single source of truth for dev commands.

Octopus Deploy and TeamCity are horrific. Jenkins is hilarious better despite all of its flaws. Concourse CI has a higher learning curve than Jenkins (at least for users, not necessarily admins), but once you get it, it's definitely a good contender. CircleCI is great!

I'm European-Kurd, and had to travel to Kurdistan Region (northern Iraq) for my sister's wedding a few years before I had to go to the US. I was denied my ESTA without a refund (it was $20 iirc, so not a huge amount but as someone who had just graduated, every penny counted for me) due to this exemption. Had to get a full visitors visa to go which took a lot longer, and was way more expensive. The exemption, which was put in place due to ISIS in 2013, seems reasonable though unfortunate.

Really? Because I've had plenty of Cloudflare hCaptcha protections where I've had to repeat it 3 or more than, with the most being 6.

Maybe I'm just a robot as far as hCaptcha and reCaptcha are concerned.

I don't understand the love for hCaptcha. The only thing it has going for it is being outside of the Google brand and that it is cheaper. Outside that, we don't know that they don't do the same shady shit Google does, they're equally as bad as reCaptcha, and they're equally inaccessible.

Note: due to the design of PM, the search is done client-side rather than server-side. It's not an excuse but at the very least, full-text search is harder.

Some people cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons.

Great, so now link each request across services, combined with the timings of each individual component within each service. LogInsights is for logging, not tracing. Logging is not a replacement for tracing.

Opentelemetry is a lot more than that. It can handle traces across services.

This would be cool to extract out and use within regexr[0]

Using GitHub's stale bot you can set it to ignore labelled issues, and so it's up to maintainer to label things correctly. Once the maintainer does so, stale bot won't touch it.

That's right. It's all use-case based. Indiscriminately closing issues automatically is definitely wrong. Automatically closing issues that cannot be reproduced or have other issues is a perfect use-case for stale bot.

I disagree. It entirely depends on the behaviour.

I've lost count of the number of tickets that have been raised that has no information, or is not reproducible, or something else. When I then ask for more information, or something else, they never reply. I've no incentive to keep such tickets open.

So I set up stale bot and auto-close the tickets. Individuals can come and re-open if it happens to them, or more information is added.

Now I do agree, if it is a genuine issue, then it shouldn't be closed until it is sorted out it. So you can set up stale bot to ignore labelled or something. So that's how I've set up all of my repos. For me this has taken off a huge burden.

I don't agree with locking threads after they've closed though. There is very little reason to do so.

"There are other emails besides gmail and hotmail? Woah!" - the person who thought that was a good idea, probably.

I could be mistaken but I'm pretty sure you can't name windows in Gnome, KDE, and Windows either.

I don't need more ways to enjoy Spotify, I need my phone to stop in the middle of a song twenty times before it starts playing properly. Also it would be nice if it didn't take 30 seconds for the menus to come up when I launch the app. Lastly, being able to actually use the app before 10 mins after startup would also be pretty nice.

Certainly looks nice, but all of these different version managers are just not necessary. When you have something like asdf written in what feels like 1 line of bash (obvious exaggeration) everything else feels redundant. I've been able to remove gvm (golang), tfenv (terraform), and several others that I can't think of right now.

So that's exactly what I said. Bitcoin solves the issue of trust. I do not have to trust that someone really has the money they say do, because Bitcoin will refuse to allow them to spend such money.

It really won't. It will make money obsolete if/when governments are okay with not having control of their currency. No sane government will do that, especially not the likes of the UK, US and EU.

In reality though, those intermediaries make use of Bitcoin easier. They are not a requirement. I can buy Bitcoin from individuals directly providing I can find one who wants something to trade for it and I have a way of delivering the goods. I can also send my Bitcoins to individuals without any intermediary. All I need is the official Bitcoin application on my computer. No need for any intermediaries.

I still don't understand this mindset of Bitcoin becoming the future of money. It isn't. It never was meant to be, and it never advertised itself as such.

Bitcoin solves the issue of trust. Bitocin itself will never work as a currency that governments can rely.

First reason for that is that governments want control over their money. There has to be a central authority for multiple reasons. Banks need bailing out? As much as I'm against bail-out, sometimes the damage of not bailing them can be far greater than not bailing them out. Need the £85k insurance that your money is safe in any bank?

Governments need control of their own currency. Bitcoin does not provide that.

I see Bitcoin more as a commodity. Something like gold, and just like gold, the supply must be finite. This is something Bitcoin provides.

There is nothing stopping a government from building their own cryptocurrency that they'll have control over, but that gets rid of the main selling point of Bitcoin, that is that you don't have to trust individuals (for the most part anyway).

Pretty much all password managers I've used have had this. I see having to copy and paste more as a workaround for a missing desktop client rather than a solution.
