Project at work is moving to CloudArmor now.

Interesting observations, thanks.

I also am a fan of Michael Swanwick.

Run only open source stack you can build yourself and self-host if it comes to the worst.

It’s the weather, probably. Something for the natives, and Finns maybe.

The one in Florida certainly sucks.

Living in Russia in Moscow/Petersburg is actually really nice these days.

Control of dissent, rather.

Give them a lollipop, then.

“…in another world” is missing.

Growing an ecosystem takes time. I’ve been using open source software since 1980s. Now I can use open source on tablets and phones. All my apps work because they’re open source.

The ecosystem would be now even better if more people would have put their choices that way. They didn’t. That was a choice, whether they realized it or not.

That’s what the consumers collectively wanted. Whether they knew it, or not.

G factor is highly correlated with real-life achievements. I make no other claim.

High IQ would be sure nice, but has a large number of genes involved. Not that you need a high IQ as a farmer in a low technology future.

Lemmy.zip apparently uses Cloudflare.

Lots of small sites were down. Including lemmy.zip

It’s a proxy war with capabilities deliberately throttled on both sides. This is why we all are still alive yet. Let’ hope NATO has the brains to accept its loss gracefully. Or, at least, not escalate beyond limited tactical nuclear exchange.

AI is primarily threatening junior level positions, since it allows a senior to offload tedious/elementary work to automation. This increases productivity but makes checking for AI confabulation/hallucination necessary.

I suggest something more physical.

Do not take a mobile device on demonstrations if you can’t verify it respects airplane mode. E.g. GOS does, but I’m not aware of any other such.

I use hardware TAN generators but my bank’s app works on LineageOS and GrapheneOS. If my travel service doesn’t accept printed out documents then it is not a travel service I will use.
