The whole “verified facts, no FUD” title is exactly the kind of shit an LLM would write. (And it’ll still make up a ton of “facts”, of course)

Nah, macOS isn’t great, but it’s nowhere near as bad as Windows. You can at least use Homebrew etc without needing to get permissions to install WSL2 and such.

To mitigate these limitations and reduce write pressure, we’ve migrated, and continue to migrate, shardable (i.e. workloads that can be horizontally partitioned), write-heavy workloads to sharded systems such as Azure Cosmos DB, optimizing application logic to minimize unnecessary writes. We also no longer allow adding new tables to the current PostgreSQL deployment. New workloads default to the sharded systems.

“wow, we’ve made our postgres so good and fast… by moving heavy workloads to a NoSQL database engine”. Truly mind-blowing, OpenAI. Just like their LLM service, not even their technical staff can stop themselves from lying and writing misleading statements.

The only interesting part could have been what they use for caching… but of course they don’t give any details at all. And all the rest is already well-known DBOps stuff… and basically all automatic with stuff like cnpg.

Hot take: for-profit orgs should be buying TLS certificates from the CA cartel instead of using Let’s Encrypt. Unless you’re donating to LE, and in that case it’s cool.

He’s still the same self-serving prick, just that he’s trying to buy himself some karma whilst channeling his riches through his own foundations.

Do with squash just in case

It’s cooler to use 172.16.0.0/12 because everyone just sees “192” and thinks it’s part of 192.168.0.0/16.

Congratulations, you got hired somewhere great! Or your team is filled with masochists, who knows.

But why should we think so much about the final result when it’s out of our hands? Without you, these people probably wouldn’t have gotten any care whatsoever (or at the least, delayed with it -> higher risk for worse results).

Unless you did stuff to worsen their condition, you’ve undoubtedly saved many lives, and many people are very thankful for your contributions. So, thank you!

Was it not possible to draw Ethernet, or did they just want the cheapest solution? I consulted for a place that had a similar situation, and it was unacceptable for most of the students due to the jitter. So we drew Ethernet and put mini APs in each room.

Does IPv6 scare you so much that you start craving the monstrosity known as NAT44?

That’d be an unusual setup. If you have users deploying containers on your host – that you trust enough to run whatever containers, but don’t want to give them ssh to the host – you’d usually have some kind of frontend such as Portioner, where you can have container exec and such.

Containerization is not virtualization. It’s very possible to break out of containers, especially if configured badly, or if there are any found exploits in the container engine or even the kernel. Containers are “good enough” for the majority of projects, but it has never been designed to be a truly hardened sandbox.

Basically, if you’re running an OpenSSH server inside a container, it’s likely that you’ve gotten the wrong ideas about securing your environment, and thus some old libraries in an old Debian image is the least of your worries.

Who’s running OpenSSH servers in their old Debian containers anyways?

Did you notice how the image shifted to the right right before doing the funnies?

second question, aborting an active download not shutting the terminal down: neither ctrl+z nor ctrl+q work and opening htop to kill the process seems overkill. What I now do is to simply shut the active tab, but there must be a faster way.

Ctrl+C.

wtf I love Norway now? Sweden is at like 2%.

But Norway’s Linux spiked up to almost 30% in July 2024 as well. So I don’t really trust these sites. My guess is that it’s due to Tesla’s web browser or something? Tesla is the most popular electric car brand in Norway: 77k Model Y and 50k Model 3 are registered, and the only model with higher numbers is the Nissan Leaf with 81k, but that’ll be taken over very shortly (so far in 2025, there have been over 11k Model Y registrations, with the next runner-up being the Toyota BZ4X with 4,6k)

Security-wise, yeah? IIRC Microsoft is very nonchalant with checking that there’s nothing malicious in the plugins on their marketplace.

It’s not red, so it’s not a dangerous button.

Aha, okay, much clearer what you meant now. Yeah, they surely get a kickback for each new subscription.

Why are you buying a phone plan if you’re not using the mobile network?
