That’s what firewalls are for.

NAT is a workaround for the small amount of address space that was allocated originally. That's not the case on IPv6. I'm sure you can NAT stuff but why the hell would you want to do that and have to maintain all the stateful pain

Yeah. Similarly German Goo Girls is higher ranking than Girls Go Games as my 9 year old found out by accident by typing ggg in Google search. Man that took some explaining.

Depends which malware outfit pays for top search ranking. Also crap like sourceforge might be the official distribution platform but looks like an adware shit show site.

That’s mostly it from experience. There is so much unproductive churn these days it’s unreal. And that comes from the tech we use and the processes around it which are just a giant cargo cult. Work out what you can salvage from it, salvage

At which point you are a winner anyway!

I think the realistic situation is that they're desperately trying to fix it at one end and selling protection at the other end. There's no malicious causality here. It's just a typical human evolutionary shit show. Really it

Trick is to only buy branded stuff off Amazon. Everything else is a shit show. Actually whenever you go shopping know what you want before you go to Amazon. That helps.

That usually doesn’t matter that much. You can get into the console of the node from whichever cloud company you’re renting it off and change it there.

Err but powershell ISE ships with it.

I think if they fix them the global finance sector will crash overnight.

Well shit that’s even more horrible than I had dreamed about.

It sounds like you’ve tried to save a file in Microsoft word recently!

Surprisingly I actually deal with a fairly hefty integration that does some horrible win32 shit I don’t understand after opening notepad to integrate it into their app. There’s so much of that out there it’s unreal.

Because I dumped the platform because of the real issues while they were painting it a different colour and rearranging the deck chairs. It deserves critical attitudes directed at it.

I actually use notepad2 when I use windows. Why would I use notepad? Would these changes improve anything? Not really. My key problem is this is epic bike shedding.

Depends which provider you host your crap with. I’ve had real trouble trying to get a top tier incident even acknowledged by one of the pre cloud providers. To be fair when it’s AWS when something goes snap it’s not my problem which I’m hap

A disc of failures resting on elephants of failures resting on a giant turtle of failures? Or are you more a turtles of failures all the way down sort of person?

Well that’s the one decent remaining bit of windows fucked up.

I think this status dashboard needs a status dashboard.

There are good ones. They just cost real money. Which is the issue.

If you want compatibility buy another board or embedded system. The BCM SoC on it can’t be bought so you’re screwed for second sourcing anything.

There are a bunch of clones out there.

There’s probably a lambda somewhere supposed to update it that is screaming into the darkness at the moment. According to an internal message I saw, their monitoring stuff is fucked too.

I think its a factorial fail.

ECR and API are fucked so it’s impossible to scale anything to the point fire can come out :)

Well I got to bugger off home early so good job Amazon. Edit: to be clear this is because I’m utterly helplessly unable to do anything at the moment.

I was stuck on an air gapped network for 2 years with only vi. It stuck.
