Yeah lets not forget this either: https://twitter.com/neil_ferguson/status/1241835454707699713 "I’m conscious that lots of people would like to see and run the pandemic simulation code we are using to model c

That's good to know.

Yes exactly that. I imagine vendor signing causes some issues there as well.

That would be interesting analytics but you just never know with this stuff. Even basic intercept-avoiding technology like burst encoding require very long term sampling to detect, so the thing would need to be disassembled and every line o

Yes indeed. I'm not buying it isn't patched in some way before it's pushed to any app stores. Especially with all the noise beforehand about how it operates and the involvement of GCHQ/NCSC in development. Edit: some dig

I kept infrastructure and data separate. Infrastructure I deploy on DO with ansible. nginx up front, letsencrypt auto renew TLS cert etc. Static content I deploy with rsync. Takes ~3 seconds to deploy a content change by typing “make deploy

Same here. I think the issue is the charger connector is on the bottom and they sit there with it rammed in their stomach at one end and tugging the other end. I don’t do that and mine have always been fine.

A good time to ask I suppose: Is Devuan stable and does it carry security updates and package repositories equivalent to normal Debian? If so I'll probably switch myself.

There has to be a simpler solution than Rust though. Rust seems to have started with some clear objectives but evolved into a nightmare. We should be putting the effort into the compilers and keeping the language free of cruft and any unsaf

Similar opinion. The only two things I consider worthy at this point are C and Python. Everything else seems to have lost the balance of compromise, stability, low API and language volatility, the ability to retain it and it's API in m

Mostly because it's a large bloated whale compared to NetBSD.

Crawled into this thread to make the same comment. It’s implicit vs explicit. JIRA makes everything so explicit it hurts

All this shit actually drove me to NetBSD for my home server

Yeah that was a bit tongue-in-cheek. I'm glad someone noticed it.

Interesting. My daily driver portable machine is a T470 so I may try that this weekend. I run out of a docking station with two monitors so have been scared to try it TBH. It works pretty flawlessly on windows though.

Well the most obvious solution is to find flaws, compromise them and publicise it. There is nothing better to fix a government's policies than bad publicity.
287.
by m0xte 6y ago
It'll be more like "you need to use this app to manage your government account - look it's easy!" marketing and lack of investment in other methods of accessing government services. Eventually you'll be unable to

They aren't removable AFAIK without destroying them, which probably calls home.

I can't see anything positive about this at all. Not one thing.
290.
by m0xte 6y ago
Well it’s not the concept but the implementation that is at fault. From persistent random WinRM failures, sudden things breaking and the whole thing wrapping rancid bits of WMI and COM which leak through regularly, it’s just pain. On top of

I’m not sure I could cope with that. I have enough problems with it on windows. Literally every corner you turn something punches you in the balls or turns to dust in your hands. It’s one of the most frustrating things I’ve ever used and I

Thanks - will read.

Interesting read. My father-in-law died of Covid-19 last week. The thing that got him in the end after a 9 day battle was kidney failure. He had heart problems and diabetes already as underlying conditions. There’s one thing I take away fro

It's terrible. AppFabric, WCF, WWF, windows phone. I could go on for hours...

Have you done any development work on .Net in the last 10 years or so. I've been buggered at least 5 times by massive discontinued chunks of stuff and the several reorganisations that got rid of my entire selection of enterprise custom

Big companies like Microsoft and Google like to burn products with little notice too.

Yes same here. I actually monitor the throughput of the network interfaces on our forwarder with prometheus/statsd_exporter and if outbound is smaller than inbound it sets off alerts!

by m0xte 7y ago
Same experience. Also splunk forwarders appear to be universally unreliable.

Lock in and one trick pony trained staff. I'm going to kill it in the next 12 months in our org if it doesn't kill me first.

Ugh bad times. I had to relay Debian buzz on floppies from a dialup. I sooo got owned when he got that phone bill.
