That was when those countries were going through their industrial revolution. Those same countries are now desindustrialising.

Does it require to physically go to each machine to fix it? Given the huge number of machines affected, it seems to me that if this is the case, this outage could last for days.

I'd expect crowdstrike to take a big hit. Between this and the russian hack [edit: actually not, sorry, confused with SolarWinds], I am not sure they are not causing more problems than they solve.

Agree but even if you compromise the white list, you still need to get over ssh's own security, so I see that as adding another lock rather than substituting it, and mostly as a protection against someone scanning the IP address space

I didn't know that existed. Seems like a good alternative, thanks. I prefer the whitelist for my own personal usage as it applies to all my servers/VM in one go for all ports. But agree that's a simpler solution if you have a

What about an IP whitelist managed on some other website (say in AWS). If you need remote access while you are travelling, you login to that website, which will add your current IP to the whitelist. The server refreshes its firewall with th

I believe it really depends on the degree. STEM, no question. Humanities, I have seen studies showing a negative ROI.

Don't think covid affected university reputations that much. Slogans like "decolonize maths" and skin colour based recruitment and award of degrees give me very little confidence even in modern STEM degrees from formerly pres

Plus it was always illogical to tell the most successful corporations that DEI is essential to become one of the most successful corporations and that they aren't doing DEI right.

Certainly, but for instance no sane developer should concatenate a string in a sql query unless there is absolutely certainty the string is safe. This should be reflex, not a matter of money or time.

Most breaches are because of developper incompetence. Throwing money at it won't really help. You need better basic security skills.

Plus I guess it inspires respect to finish a bottle of what people assume is vodka, bottom up. An empty bottle of vodka makes a great water container to walk around the office with and drink from the bottle between meetings.

In a french documentary about the DGSE (French foreign intelligence service), some former DGSE officials explained that when France took delivery of their new embassy in Poland during the cold war, they found it riddled with bugs. The cabli

Also, from a end user point of view, unless you are downloading from a known and reputable software company, you assume the exe contains spyware and viruses by default. That has been the main reason for me to download desktop apps sparingly

I wish there was a standard format for resume that was universally used. Every HR website requires you to upload a resume to apply, then tries to extract the various experiences and details automatically, invariably fucks it up completely,

No wind for a week is the volatility of renewable. And that's a common occurence. You can easily have 3 weeks without wind.

by cm2187 2y ago
That's storage for a few hours to smooth the volatility intraday. Nothing like the sort of storage capacity you would need if you don't have an alternative source of energy when there is no wind for a week.

by cm2187 2y ago
As far as I am aware, these are short term batteries to deal with intra day volatility (intra hour to switch between different sources in fact I believe). It's not capacity to deal with a week without wind. You would need to quote the

Like what? Energy storage would push the combined price of renewable way beyond nuclear. You would need an alternative source of energy that is 1) on demand, and 2) which does not cost much when it is not activated. Not sure what that would

As far as I am aware, Texas offsets the volatility of renewable with carbon based energy. Those renewable are not viable in a world with no carbon based energy. https://grid-analytics.ece.utexas.edu/chart/fuel-type-gene

Ratios matter little to the climate. Total volumes do. When you build your infrastructure from scratch, it makes sense not to go for XIX century technologies.

There is some sort of stingy pleasure at spending slightly more money than you can afford. That's why the secretary will buy the hermes scarf, the nerd will buy the overclocked super-XXL computer that will hardly make a difference. Ser

Agree. LTO devices are crazy expensive. I hope HAMR will boost HDD capacities such that you will be able to use a HDD as cheap archival storage. I would expect you can get a good 10y from a HDD you keep off but scrub once a year. Long enoug
