   Meanwhile in Toronto a house is $1m+ while salaries are 100k-150k.

   Glad to live in a free country where we don't praise dictatorships and authoritarianism. The world should just boycott fucking China.

   Friends from HK including my partner who left that place before it turns into a cesspit like China tend to disagree but good luck to you! You may not earn much in other countries, so you may stay since you don't care about freedom nor

   But why not just Cloudformation then? What advantage does Terraform provide over Cloudformation in your opinion?
6. 96.▲
   by shell0x 5y ago

   Basically right. And every time the platform changes, terraform has to implement it too! And more often than not, it's supported in the providers implementation than terraform. I think terraform was better before, but now CloudFormatio

   Aren't a lot of people just using cloud instead of server now? It's similar to people saying I run on EC2, which is a server, and 95% of the time it's basically a VM.

   As a DevOps guy, I'm not a huge fan of Terraform. Often I hear from enterprises that Terraform is cloud agnostic, but that's often very wrong. Terraform modules are still specific to the cloud platform and a rewrite is required to

   I have a Lenovo Thinkpad L380 and it's the worst laptop I haver ever owned. When I put it on my lap and I hit the wrong spot, it freezes and only turning it off and on again fixes the issue. I sent it to the Lenovo support center in H

    Infosec sounds cool indeed, except the part where you have to write up reports :)

    I lived in both Singapore and Sydney, and Singapore is cheaper - food is cheaper in SG - apartments were cheaper in Singapore. Sydney has become expensive - taxes are lower in Singapore - public transport is cheaper in Singapore - alcohol i

    This is exactly the reason why I'm against Apple CSAM. It's just a matter of time before someone innocent gets flagged. Lots of parents take a photo of their child having a bath or something similar at least in Europe/Asia an

    The US doesn't have the moral high ground either. Every country has issues. As a German who's currently in Dubai, I find it amusing when an American judges the UAE. The US has tons of undocumented/illegal immigrants which liv

    Reddit is horrible to use on mobile devices as well. They're trying to force you to download the app, but I'm not interested to download an app to browse a website. I already have a browser.

    Australia is China lite. In China people don't really have a choice, but in Australia people actually voted for this government, which makes it even worse.

    If you care about privacy, use a provider in a country with strong privacy laws. If you don't care, just use Gmail or Microsoft? I really don't see where Fastmail fits in here, unless you're Australian.

    As a German living in Australia, I'm absolutely shocked how no one cares about privacy here at all. Every bill basically just passes and there isn't any opposition. I consider any data I store in Australia as compromised.

    That sounds really bad man. I'm originally from Germany,but lived previously in Asia(Singapore/Hong Kong), New Zealand and now Australia. I never got less than 3 weeks vacation. The US is a good environment to innovate, but it&#x2

    I also have no idea how to organize photos and backups well. As an engineer, I'm good doing it for enterprise stuff, but it's really challenging for personal stuff. I don't trust Google products anymore, I got burned too many

    I'm not sure if that's common knowledge, but I recently found out that KDE has a distribution called KDE Neon with the latest KDE releases. https://neon.kde.org I installed it on a USB flash drive and it's not bad

    It’s almost as if your government wants to punish you for living abroad. On the plus side, America accepts dual citizenship and Germany(where I’m from) accepts not, unless I apply for a special permit to retain German citizenship before acq

    I have never seen anyone using Javascript for scripting. Never. It's perfectly fine for app dev, but definitely not for running scripts on a server. I came across Bash, Powershell, Ruby, Python, Go, Rust, Perl, but JS?

    This looks horrible to me. The mixing of bash commands in Javascript looks absolutely terrible and running node itself for scripting is a total mess(node_modules, versions). I usually go with bash + set -euxo pipefail and if it becomes too
