If you absolutely cannot live without running Windows for your home/work compute needs, consider Windows 11 LTSC. It at least claims to have a lot of the bloatware disabled... but IMO it's only a matter of time until they "ac

Vector is very simple to operate and (mostly) stateless, and can handle buffering if you choose. Kafka and Redis is a "pick your poison" IMO, scaling and operating those have their own headaches.

Being temporarily unusable is not how I've seen "bricked" used, bricked means unrecoverable and the item is completely unusable except for as a brick/paperweight/door stop.

Yes, they’ll use bots to detect the bots. I guarantee it’s not hard to detect outliers (bots) via many different heuristics at this point. It’s going to turn into a perpetual game of whack a mole just like SEO and ad blocking.

I swear to god, every single day I have at least one app with a pop up tooltip asking if I'd like a guided tour of all their new features and latest UI shuffle musical chairs. Bonus points if I'm presenting my screen at the time.

Last time I tried to use CF, the third party IAC tools were faster to release new features than the functionality of CF itself. (Like Terraform would support some S3 bucket feature when creating a bucket, but CF did not). I'm not sure

It's amazing how it wasn't that long ago that you'd walk into an establishment and ask if they accept cards instead of cash only. Going into rural areas it's still not a 100% given that all places will accept cards.

The Datadog IoT agents are cheaper, but still probably more than you’d want to spend on a lab. You also only get system metrics, no integrations - but most metrics and checks can be done remotely with a single dedicated agent
