They’ve had to scale capacity faster than they thought, the flagship instance is getting some additional capacity and a fulltime DevOps team

What a foolish bill.

swap “www” with “old”
slightly less bad, but it’s still a worthless site at this point with half of the useful information either years out of date or actively deleted.

Road trip to Georgia and back, basically.

Well, I don’t like it, but you’re right.

NYC as an institution has many hard-working people at all levels dedicated to their communities.

The mayor, however, is a worthless self-serving piece of shit that sold out to foreign nationals, and a good chunk of the city elite are corrupt one way or another.

It’s a very, very mixed bag.

Because they are scared, and hiding behind the skirts of a paper-thin layer of incompetent fascists prior to facing the music from everybody they’ve hurt.

Well, minus an effective central bank…

US global influence is already well into decline. This is the USA’s Byzantine period as we shift from a unipolar into an increasingly multipolar world.

If someone could spit out some nice high-performance RISC-V CPU with an integrated open-source and most importantly mainlined GPU (which also includes a video encoder/decoder which could handle 4k 264, 265* and AV1) … I’d be SO happy…

• Yes, I know the intellectual property/digital restrictions management cesspit would do everything they could to prevent this from happening. One can dream, though.

And here I am stuck in an apartment in NYC with one option… spectrum cable. That’s it. I mean you COULD get Verizon DSL (lol) or some horrendously overpriced LTE thing, but realistically you’re at the mercy of whatever bloodsucking landlord thinks you deserve.

They’re actually quite annoying, the documentation is there but makes a lot of assumptions about what you already know.

I prefer podman systemd generate…just makes more sense to me.

Next they will find they can into space.

I snagged an old fiber LTO5 drive… just got to work out how to get it powered and then spend hours fiddling with silly old tapes.

ipvlan / macvlan containers?

As an enterprise admin, I concur.

Windows seems to be turning into some kind of weird botnet that exists only to waste wattage and bandwidth on updating itself and looking for security risks. I have weirdly fond memories of NT… but I don’t miss updating JRE on 1k+ machines though…

Yeah, then they lose all their best and brightest who are disappearing off to work on their own things.

All these idiot C-suite trash will wind up holding is a bag of yesterday’s technology, a mass of obsolete infrastructure and a bunch of brands they’ve helped destroy.

*compared to the 1st World

A lot of people don’t like what’s happening, don’t like the people loudly supporting it and are working as best they can to do something about it. There is international pressure from nations that have experienced parallels (South Africa, for one) and although it looks like nothing is happening, there are things going on which are not reported on and actively minimized, which nevertheless apply pressure to the bad actors in the situation.

It’s disappointing how many people, particularly in the west, are displaying bad political judgment…well, it’s almost like they aren’t thinking about it at all… but that’s just going to have to catch up with them as a consequence later on. This has had the effect of serving to reveal an entire crop of bad actors, which we all know must be removed.

Make no mistake - We Will Never Forget.

Exactly. The IRS can only work within the law, and if the law makes it easy for the wealthy to evade taxes. That needs to be fixed in Congress. So good luck to us all, I guess!

It’s a start, but it needs to go much, much further.
