  • Today's Massive AWS Outage That Took Down Your Favorite Sites Is Still Going On

    Jump

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

  • Microsoft is making every Windows 11 PC an AI PC

    Jump

  • ...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!

  • Too lazy to code currently

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Google Confirms Non-ADB APK Installs Will Require Developer Registration

  • I'd say 'change banks'.

  • Google Confirms Non-ADB APK Installs Will Require Developer Registration

    Jump

  • No they don't. There are viable, open source alternatives for 99% of the software/services we use. The fact that people are not aware of it is already like half of the real problem.

  • How exactly does one get better at programming?

    Jump

  • I am only speaking for myself and I am most definitely not a pro, but I think preoccupation with efficiency and usefulness is the main obstacle to actually liking programming, which is itself a must if you want to get good at it. Some years ago I read an article with the title 'why I spend my time writing useless software'. I can't remember what it actually said since I only needed the title to really internalise the fact that programming is an art. Imagine telling Monet, Picasso, Michelangelo or John Lennon that their line of work is 'imperfect' or 'inefficient'. If that sounds like a ridiculous thing to do, that's because it would be. I've written at least 15,000 lines of code (I'm a sysadmin, not a programmer), most of it for production in banking systems. And yet, the piece of software I'm most proud of is...a library for encoding and decoding morse.

  • What's the real danger of opening ports?

    Jump

  • This, coupled with the fact that firewalls are protocol-agnostic. You can, for instance, use 'port https' in your Packet Filter config instead of 'port 443', but that simply means that PF will block/pass traffic to whatever service is bound to that particular port, and NOT https connections in general.

  • Those who are hosting on bare metal: What is stopping you from using Containers or VM's? What are you self hosting?

    Jump

  • The fact that I bought all my machines used (and mostly on sale), and that not one of them is general purpose, id est, I bought each piece of hardware with a (more or less) concrete idea of what would be its use case. For example, my machine acting as a file server is way bigger and faster than my desktop, and I have a 20-year-old machine with very modest specs whose only purpose is being a dumb client for all the bigger servers. I develop programs in one machine and surf the internet and watch videos on the other. I have no use case for VMs besides the Logical Domains I setup in one of my SPARC hosts.

  • Taliban leader bans Wi-Fi in an Afghan province to 'prevent immorality'

  • Really? I somehow blissfully missed that. WTF.

  • Do you know of a dating app which caters primarily to heterosexuals, respects your privacy, doesn't use analytics and doesn't require G00g13 services to function properly?

    Jump

  • Answering to my own question since no-one seems to be aware of it: I just discovered 'Alovoa'.

  • Vicious cycle

    Jump

  • I tried Shiatsu and it didn't help shit.

  • FTC Warns Companies(Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Discord, Meta, Microsoft, Signal, Snap, X and more) Against Censoring or Weakening the Data Security of Americans at the Behest of Foreign Powers

    Jump

  • Because Signal is Pete 'The Village Drunkard' Hegseth's favourite tool for texting aggression plans to random journalists.

  • Oh, so the 'people are falling in love with/'''marrying''' AI' was not a marketing hoax? WTAFF.

  • Chrome VPN Extension With 100k Installs Screenshots All Sites Users Visit

    Jump

  • This is the reason I've always been skeptical of all those Video Download Non Plus Ultra Pro 9000 extensions, also in Firefox. I'm like yea right. Next thing I know I'll be getting copyright infringement and piracy notices plus cease-and-desist letters.

  • Apparently, too many people got offended by me using the word 'heterosexual' (take a peep at a particular exchange below, it's a joy to read). The reason I was specific is that there are apps which specifically cater to non-heterosexuals, something I made clear in a comment that was also heavily downvoted.
