In which case, it's still wrong in the title. Just because people are too lazy to scroll up and read the erroneous title doesn't mean nit picking pedantry makes them correct.

I mean it's a real threat, but I can count on one hand the number of accounts I've heard of aws locking out, but don't have enough appendages to count how many Google (gcp) accounts have been locked out. Vendor lock-in is a r

Ironically, I'm going through the opposite of #1 - not a bad company, but decided it needed to move countries. Made a big announcement, said basically in 3 months you're all out the door, but keep up the hard work, and help with

Well, that depends. IIRC, OVH's fire hit multiple floors, and each floor was a "zone" - the power, networking, etc were all independent, but they still had a single core dependency - the building itself.

Indeed, the first three are dependent on the state that issued your SSN, and the next two often are sequence bits roughly correlating to when it was issued. If anything, those are the public bits

Those fees have been there for a while, but for the most part, they only apply to "weird" transfers - particularly uncommon currencies, or landing "foreign" currency in a new country. If you pay dollars to the US, euros

In a different context, for sure, but this was about SWIFT and finance. Even still, comparing army sizes isn't that useful either -- number of raw bodies only tells a fractional story; Where they're fighting makes a huge differe

SWIFT is a Belgian corporation that is not tied to a specific currency. Kicking them out of SWIFT has nothing to do with USD hegimony. China and Russia do have a competing system, it's used by China and Russia. Moreover, Russias curr

CI pipelines - I need clean readable output constantly, and having random escape codes all over the output just garbages up the flow into messages nobody reads. Setting NO_COLOR=1 once in the pipeline fixes 80% of output issues. Would it b

To be fair, [classic] ELB's do NOT need to decrypt traffic if you're really paranoid - you can load balance on TCP. Then it's only per-socket load balancing and you lose a lot of cloudwatch insights, but if you need truly en

This, when I lived in my apartment, I'd save 300$/year on 10k of property taxes. When I rented it, I got a 30k/yr deduction for depreciation - between that and rent, it basically pays for itself right out of the gate as long

There is a difference between calling out misinformation and censoring free speech. It's even in the article you posted, biased that it may be. The government is not saying you can't publish misinformation, but that a responsible
