It's not just porn the problem. Fake news or information is a problem too. And this reminds me of the "Joan is awful" episode of Black Mirror as another kind of disturbing activity using deepfakes. Or making fun of a public p

Mathematical proofs are in some way algorithms put in practice. And another useful thing they have is not leaving possibilities out. I think that those two things are useful mental models to have when learning programming, things that would

It may be already too late, even doing everything right from now on. The system still have some pending inertia to apply, the accumulated greenhouse gases (that would last there 10+ years for methane, and 100+ years for CO2 from their emiss

You can configure some nagios addons for performance metrics collecting, but is better to have a single/efficient/granular enough metrics collector. And time series monitoring helps a bit being proactive on bad trends or to give g

Telegraf is a single agent that collects a nice amount of metrics and send it to many databases. I prefer to use telegraf (and scripts) to collect the metrics into influxdb and then grafana. Telegraf have some log parsing/extraction fu

It doesn’t have to be just one alternative. From what I have around Brazil is pushing a new(?) common currency for trading within Latin American countries, China is pushing Yuan for bilateral trading with several countries, and probably mor

Focusing on on performance, seriously? I'm more sysadmin than devops, but how fast you can script over something for a quick automation is the defining trait for most devops tasks, not performance. Going for performance is closer to de

That 1.1°C is not your everyday weather temperature. Is the global average over a year. It’s not like the temperature at 13:58 on Monday will be 1.1°C higher than what it was exactly 60 years before. That kind of increase is making frequent

The main potential risks of AI for that level of threat is that government, military and intelligence agencies, and big corporations probably with military ties, arms them. And that is not something that will be solved with legislation (for

Paraphrasing Dune, fear is the mind-killer. It doesn't help to search for alternate points of views or approaches as you are fixed in one possible outcome. Learning more about the problem and the system where it happens may give a diff

"By 2027" could be as soon as 2024. Things are getting weirder now that La Niña ended, and there are good chances that later this year we will enter in a strong El Niño event. An 2022, the 5th hottest year on record, was during a
