yeah, it's worse. Someone trips over a cable and now your region of the world can't recognise that you have any wealth of any kind. Or, you can get debanked by the state. :) Hard to do that with coinage- but you can have your coin

Also British, living across the bridge in Malmö, Sweden. I really like the centralised system, it makes navigating society surprisingly easy when compared to say, Germany or the UK. The difference is that I sort of trust the Swedish governm

Terrifying to live in a digital economy when something like this happens. You're usually about 1 service away from realising that the "money you have" is just an int32, that, if everything works properly, you can modify. Othe

Literally does though, because they abandoned ZFS integration as a direct result, its actually well documented.

MacOS doesn’t use ZFS because Ellison owns it. Don’t read too much into their “friendship”.

I should reinforce this point by saying that it's the default position for "guest" networks to be using the same hardware as "secure" office wifi and such.

That was also what I took away when watching the video. Russians don't celebrate Christmas on the 25th (they Celebrate on January 7th), but even more than that: Russians don't celebrate Christmas the same way we do in the west. Th

I actually watched this last night, and while I totally understand that criticism is easy, and making things is hard (and the production quality here is great); I got a weird vibe from the video when it comes to who it is for . The technic

There's a few things to note here: 1) Prices aren't returning to "normal". The only way they will is if the hyperscalers and AI companies start to implode -- which will kill a huge portion of the US economy and lead to g

"slop" is a type of British food (like "Gruel"). It's uncommon, and associated with old timey prisons and orphanages. The word itself has existed for hundreds of years.

I'm not sure how we got on to games as resource hogs when Teams uses 2GiB of RAM and Windows itself uses 4GiB of RAM. I work in gamedev, so perhaps I'm a bit sensitive, and I understand that general purpose engines aren't as

Agreed, and even things like Keycloak/FreeIPA are only partial solutions. FreeIPA in particular is a beast to maintain, it puts kubernetes-cowboys to shame.

Canadian companies can't use Cloud providers at all then? I'm incredulous about that. Google, AWS & Microsoft all nullroute the countries of Cuba, Iran and North Korea. Google also nullroutes Crimea. So by using a cloud provid

The US also restricts peoples right to travel if they owe too much in taxes or have more than $2,500 in unpaid child support payments. They can even revoke your passport (which is functionally the same thing as some forms of travel only acc

Think of another conflict like that and you’ll have an answer. the Taliban are an occupying force that do his.

The scale of the destruction doesn't retroactively validate the tactics that made it more likely. 'It got very bad' is not a justification for abandoning the framework that might have contained it. If anything it's an ar

You've collapsed two meaningfully different things into one: 'soldiers exist near civilians' and 'soldiers deliberately operate from within protected populations as a systematic tactic.' Your three examples all illu

The Geneva Convention wasn't written by oppressors to protect oppressors; it was written largely because of what happens to civilians and prisoners when there are no rules. The protections run both ways: your wounded, your captured fig

Pretty much all of them. National Guard and HomeGuard in every allied country has a uniform. The ones that don't are using what would be considered unlawful tactics these days. You're an 'unlawful combatant' if you don&#

I always found that compliance issue with encrypted drives a bit funny. The provider has the keys. So, the drives encryption has no practical application. The drives in, say, GCP aren't even real drives, the blocks are chunked over a d

I said the same thing to myself. But then I remembered that what AWS gives you is the same generation of CPU, just obfuscated. GCP Also obfuscates it, but not as much: https://docs.cloud.google.com/compute/docs/gen

I'd make an argument for the idea that Siri (like the touch-based keyboard) has actually regressed. I recall scoffing at the idea of a touchscreen based keyboard due to how close the buttons were already on my Nokia E63- and contending
