I spend most of my time on maintenance and routine tasks. Spot checking logs and reviewing aggregate log analyses, client communications and requests, invoicing and accounting. The rest of my time I’m writing Ansible or contemplating archit

I’m not sure what the point of your statement is? Some people aren’t using LLMs to do development. Some people aren’t doing stuff in hyperscaler clouds. Some people don’t work in environments where code is allowed near LLMs. Some people are

The intent of feature flags in ZFS is to denote changes in on-disk structures. Replication isn’t supported between pools that don’t support the same flags because otherwise ZFS couldn’t read the data from disk properly on the receiving side

Customers blowing off their feet with ZFS because they felt the need to tweak tunables they didn’t need to use, or didn’t properly understand, is not the fault of ZFS though. You can do the same with just about any file system. In the Windo

I fall into this trap more than I’d care to admit. I love learning by reading, to the point that I’ll read the available documentation for something before I decide to use it. This consumes a lot of time, and there’s a tradeoff. Eventuall

Insofar as CVEs issued for proprietary software, I would expect that the owning organization would not be inclined to blame AI code unless they think they can pass the buck. But as for eventually having to hire senior developers to clean up

I agree with you whole heartedly that scrutiny on a business should focus on the offerings of the business. As for whether I’m an exception — maybe. Subjectively I think I am because I perceive myself to be putting more into the “business o

I agree. Especially with Microsoft, it seems as soon as Satya Nadella promised security was their first priority and he’d stake his compensation on it, no sooner did they get distracted once again. If you keep leaving the barn door open, ev

They did indeed contact me by email to let me know my data was in scope of the breach.

Keycloak, most likely. We have experience with it. Fastmail’s calendar invitation support is solid in my experience. And they support access via standard protocols. That is very quickly disappearing with Microsoft 365. We never used Teams.

> If news on the web was journalism instead of attention seeking for ad revenue you’d be right. That’s painting with an overly broad brush. Nevertheless, the news was relying on ads long before most people knew the word “Internet”, but t

There is also the added pressure that some organizations quietly pile on editors to keep people from clicking out to third parties at all, where their attention may wander away. Unless of course that third party is an ad destination. Repu

That’s fantastic, thank you. I have a very useful plugin that automatically deletes website data (other than history and downloads) after a configured interval once you’ve closed the tab or window. You can define an exception list. I cannot

Firefox Profiles are useful, but not nearly as useful as their analogue in other browsers. Same with containers. I use both, but I try to use profiles very sparingly because you have to relaunch Firefox, which is at times unrealistic.

In the alternative, you can configure Fastmail to allow sending and receiving to/from a wildcard address (which for sending allows you to specify the sending address at send time). In my experience this works far more reliably, and is

I’ve never understood the “everyone is entitled to have their voice heard by the masses” idea. It’s never been true before, let alone realistic. It’s only with the past several decades of networked computing that humans have been able to s

I would submit that many essential things are shrink wrapped and commercialized (fantastic phrase, by the way). It’s not just the planners either. It’s the people who are unreasonable and it’s the people who lack any external center of conc

Which is all the more reason to speak out against it vociferously and absolutely, rather than caveat it with “even though our government has been doing this for the past quarter century”. Let’s not aid in the barbarism.

I’ve been chatting with my cofounders about plotting a course out of Microsoft 365 and Azure AD/Entra ID. Current working strategy is to first move everything using Entra SSO to our own hosted IdP, and then everything else. From there

I’m not giving them a break on this. They sent me the same email. I’m having the same experience. I actually do have a support case history with them, and I’d like to review what data has been lost. I’ve been a customer for over a decade. I

If you’re looking to ZFS send streams for many of ZFS’s guarantees, absolutely. However ZFS replication was originally designed with the assumption and use case in mind that organizations would store the send streams as opaque blobs on tape

I’m seeing this second hand at the Fortune 500 my spouse works for. They are an enterprise SaaS company in SV. Where they have machine learning software that they have been selling for more than a decade, it’s all been rebranded as AI. That

Although what I’m about to say would be taken to a logical extreme by some, that is just fallacy — It is of course immaterial that someone later becomes a government employee. If we were to pass a law along these lines, then any expert who

Some people, curiously, believe that business is only valid if it operates as a caricature of the worst traits of modern corporate America. That’s the game, and some people believe it’s the only game. I’m with you though. For me business is

As a small business owner, I spend a lot of my time doing things by the book. I get confused by other small business owners who complain about this because it’s all stuff you’d need to do anyway. I use a double entry accounting system in an

It’s even more nuanced than that. You could pilot a crewed vehicle without a license, but that is, usually, not lawful. You might not be a pilot, but you would be piloting. You are a pilot if you have a license, and you usually cannot obtai

They don’t. But as a Fastmail customer, I am _really_ tiring of how much they iterate on their UI/UX without notice and seemingly decreasingly solid testing. They push stuff to prod that doesn’t hit beta (at least the public beta envir

It is amazing how quickly anything relatively modern gets designated “legacy” when the business needs to blame it for their mistakes and/or incompetence.

It wasn’t just programming either. It was anything with computing. I remember when you could walk into a book store and find a wall of books on Linux, so many of which came with “the Publisher’s Edition” of a Linux distro. That’s how I lear

Right. Lyft has had this feature for awhile now. Has anyone filed a lawsuit? Uber arguably has more eyes on it, but I wonder who would file a lawsuit over this, and how they would articulate an actionable claim.
