I mostly love the Sea Shanty as a repository of blue collar solidarity songs that are great for groups and to scream, so I don't understand the love for the Wellerman, though enjoy it fine
I agree keep it running on bacteria not the software equivalent of an elementary school kid that pees his pants daily and licks the windows because he likes the taste/
Listen, if your branching and commit message strategy takes more than 15 minutes to explain. And I need to work with every team and this is just yours.
@Craig Brozefsky 🇵🇸 yeah, there's lots of cultural contexts, but I constantly assume that things that make The Internet Work are default skills tech people have.
Final Episode of the Cyber Podcast from Vice (now deleted from https://shows.acast.com/cyber/episodes/the-end-of-vice)Episode Notes: VICE may be over, but...
This is wildly important. It's bitter and it's complicated. But it's probably the real Cyberpunk. It's good. Listen to people think about journalism during a tragedy.
I am currently regularly dealing with Zscaler support and Drata support.
Drata support is awful because you need to get answers from an LLM before you can talk to it. But the LLM is worthless because it just puts out a segment from the knowledge base and you only contact support when things are broken.
Zscaler support is worthless because they're undertrained and given a flow chart to follow. The flow chart means they just parrot the knowledge base repeatedly.
Drata's support is better because there's only one human trapped in this hell.
@The Psychotic Network Ferret the problem was that neither group using 100.6.0.0/16 *owned* it. Both of them were using it for extra IPv4 space.
And I've been a ISP grunt, I know we want IPv4 to die, but there's some ISPs that have bonkers IPv4 stacks and massive CGNATs without a whisper of IPv6
Me vs @Becky parenting @Becky - buys the kids mars bars Sean - tells the kids Mars Bars are made by war criminals and then starts teaching them to make nougat
My 3 year old kid has a 1 string guitar to learn to make sound, To protect his fingers I handed him a guitar pick. He yelled "Can I open it!" and started trying to find a seam to shove the pick in to spudge the guitar.
@silverwizard White Australian classic dancer, registered for the 2024-created breakdance discipline, practiced her choreography 47 minutes (of her own admission), made a fool of herself during the competition, became an instant Internet sensation for all the wrong reasons.
Not currently supported, as far as I’m aware. The closest you can get is to pass through a whole USB host adapter PCI device to the guest, then all devices connected to its ports will end up in the (same) VM. Proper USB passthrough isn’t ridiculously difficult to implement by any stretch, but I guess nobody’s got around to it yet.
The Bhyve FreeBSD hypervisor (called/spelled ‘beehive’ usually) was created almost 10 years ago. Right now it offers speed and features that other similar solutions provide – such…
This battle was lost a long time ago. There is no going back to sane defaults. Data collection is now the primary goal of paid and free products. You don’t own anything, and you will be happy. Of course, you can still use privacy-enabled products at home, but those options are limited, and not all your apps will be available. bsky.app/profile/ahhmandah.bsk…
've seen so many hearing aids on kids this week, often low profile, some very large, all taking wild abuse, like a child spraying his repeatedly with a water jet in a splash park
and - I feel so good about this - this is the core of accessibility - you didn't see a lot of deaf kids before because they were isolated! and now they're not!
Phillips Hue keeps threatening me they're going to shut down everything. I put their app on a side device that wont download things and I don't update it, and I put their bridge on a no-internet-access VLAN - but I'd like to just not deal with their shit.
Is there a bulb that doesn't deal with their shit?
the Humble Bundle copy of Gratuitous Space Battles I bought years ago is causing OpenAL issues every time it makes a sound and seems to have no mute option.
Last night I had a dream that I was (kinda accidentally) elected UK Prime Minister, and I was confused as hell because I was a tourist and didn't know any of the ritual.
And I think that it's telling about the UK that my brain can find no holes in the theory that this is plausible
They also tell me to use the IP address on eth1 and the server *is FreeBSD*.
It's 11.4 so it's not dire - but it looks like they haven't updated it ever. I tried a poke at pkg and they don't have their own repo so the repo is just gone. And yes, the SSH is 8.4 from 2022.
Talking to coworkers "Remember, your laptop is 4-10x as powerful as one of the servers, your laptop has to run Slack and none of the servers take that kind of abuse"
The company I work for is really great, but the CEO is toxic as hell
Just completely and impossibly.
We had an outage and he joined the technical call, and started throwing out ideas and forced the response team to *stop* discussing the issue and *instead* explain why he was wrong.
@Hypolite Petovan I am a ginger lover, it's not popular, but it's mine
Seamus (my son) will eat candied ginger because it has the word candy in it (and I love it) then put on a giant fake smile, say "I love it", while spitting it out
@þēodrīċ I mean, probably do a very strong tea, as strong as I can get it, and then add a sugar, the problem is finding a good sugar for the yeasts to not sour, while also leaving the flavour dry
The problem with my current employer isn't the lack of technical sophistication, it's that everyone outside of the dev org thinks my skillset is fungible with every other person inside the dev org.
Despite me being hired explicitly outside the dev org's purview because it *isn't*
@Alex P. 👹 I was hired by someone who knew what they were doing and given Infrastructure and Security as purview, and now everyone says "this person does DevOps" which... hurts every time
@Alex P. 👹 the real problem is when people 1) tell the dev lead about like, DNS changes or whatever, and then they don't tell me "but it's all engineering" 2) asking me to deal with frontend JS or python code that just... I don't know
After the giant DDoS on DynDNS I started multi-hosting my domains and almost everything else. But no one will pay for multi-cloud. And I don't get why we never learned this lesson?
Banks are screwing my wife around. Her mom put some money in an account years ago for her, and she's pulling it out to put it somewhere more reliable, but the cheque was listed in both names, and so banks are refusing to deposit it because it's in the name of two people. So she tried to go into the bank with both of them and endorse the cheque in front of bank employees, which even then they are being a pain in the ass about. This is stupid.
I was caught in the middle of an OS update (Windows) I looked 'round and I knew there was no turning back (Windows) My mind raced and I thought, what could I do? (Windows) And I knew there was no help, no help from you (Windows) Sound of the drums beating in my heart The thunder of BSOD tore me apart
Ug, I should have paid @404 Media long ago, they are the best reporting I've seen.
But at least I paid them Wednesday and I assume that my subscription will be spent on the spirits needed to get through their next few calls to CrowdStrike.
