Did you mean and angering the Orange Maggot?

I used nsupdate for years and it worked just fine. I remember it being down, one time only, for like five minutes. For a project that depends entirely on donations, the service and availability they provide are just awesome.

I used MEGA for a while and was pretty happy because their free plan is (or was back then) very generous, and they had a BSD command line client. Out of the blue, my account got blocked, and when I logged in, something along these lines appeared on the screen:

‘You are using the same password for MEGA and other services. This is a security risk and is not allowed’.

That’s one of the shadiest fucking things a cloud company could write. First, not true, second, even if that were true, how would you know it.

Depressing, but not surprising. Even before the AS hype, I had long noticed that many people I regularly talk to (including a member of my immediate family who has been a teacher for decades) make horrendous spelling and grammar mistakes that they wouldn’t make if they picked up at least one book, at least once every few months. So: people were already forgetting how to write, spell, and even read coherently way before chatbots.

Sounds familiar: didn’t the AWS outage last month also nuke 3,000+ USD ‘smart beds’?

‘They know everything anyway’

Toilet cameras. Every time I think to myself that humanity’s intellectual capacity has hit a new low, reality proves me wrong.

A (poorly written) Shell check if the process was able to write to the production database which in some, not all, cases threw the gem:

!!! SQL ERROR !!!

Speaking of unsubstantiated accusations, do we have actual, reliable information about what is really going on? Any link in either French or English appreciated.

Too lazy.

Totally not a bubble. At all.

Nothing too odd about that. For example, Bose assembles some of its most successful products (such as the Soundlink revolve) in Mexico, regardless of the target market.

I have ZERO sympathy for companies whose services are affected by this. Because seriously, fuck Amazon.

…and 99,99% of middle managers ‘’‘working’‘’ in tech be like yeaaaaaaaa daddy just cram that shit down my throat like I’m an abused goose!

Funny, just a couple of nights ago, I was wondering if this distro still exists. I tried it some 5 years ago and I found it sleek, but its reliance on systemd made me migrate.

NetBSD. This box seems to have a vanilla x86 processor and it has plenty of resources (for NetBSD, that is). You can’t use this as a daily driver, but it should be good enough to learn UNIX and/or self-host some stuff.

I’m very proud of you, for that simply means that you don’t want to become a modern slave, and therefore, that your brain still works.

Biebian.

Tuxedo is nice, but as somebody mentioned already, its products are re-branded and re-you-name-it chinese products. Same for CSL. They’re ‘assembled in Germany’ with stuff that’s made in China.

I’d say ‘change banks’.
