True. That was a CVE 10 vulnerability. But unless you are going to airgap your system, I think using these ubiquitous libraries is as good as we can get to being safe.

I think that’s covered by “Don’t trust other companies”. You just need a business internet line with a static IP to host your own stuff in your house.

Store your own shit on your own Linux server. Don’t trust other companies. Use industry standard libraries like OpenSSH, LUKS.

As a programmer who integrates many languages together in the same product this is a pretty clear line in the sand. Where the languages interface, it’s up to the new language to adopt the interfaces offered by the older language. Rust guys said they will do this, C guys said why don’t you assume this responsibility (they already are). This is either a miscommunication or deliberate scape goat reasoning and deflection. There is no good reason why two languages can’t work together with interfaces. I think the C guys are old, grumpy and fearful.

Disclaimer: I don’t even like Rust as a language. Just calling it how I see it.

Let me tell you about borrow return policy at libraries and the associated fines for late returns and how to find something using the dewey decimal classification system. Fun times!

That’s perfectly reasonable

At least in most democratic countries you can’t just bribe the politicians legally. That helps a lot.

This is exactly how I have always thought about it too. Pure greed. My father ran a company for 35 years and for 3 of those years he took either no payout or a very small payout so that he didn’t have to let anyone go. I asked him why he didn’t just downsize and he said that other people needed the money more than us. That’s how shit needs to be run. People centric not profit driven.

I have solved my work problem by using the online versions of MS office and SharePoint. The desktop versions are just emulated web apps these days anyway. I have only seen MS Project (which sucks anyway) and Excel having features I needed once or twice on the desktop version vs the online version.

Diablo

The first multi-player lobby over battlenet. Epic lore, great gameplay, created an entire genre.

We are made of star stuff, just like rocks, but we are curious and can learn. We are a way for the universe to know itself. We process matter with our industry and our digestive systems.

Just like a spider knows how to spin a web without being taught, we carry instinctual knowledge, but we also carry cultural knowledge from our life experiences. We are like organic computers. Emotions are a different way to solve problems when our logic fails.

Well I don’t wear underwear at all already 😀

Kubernetes is extremely expensive on cloud so we run our own in house

Our problems with VMs on Azure were:

• The Azure Linux Agent incrementing versions and breaking stuff.
• The availability zone becoming over utilized and our non reserved VM clusters fail to start up.
• Changes to Azure automation runbooks breaking scripts and schedules. (unrelated to the stuff they warned about)
• Azure invisible proxy terminating ssh sessions as inactive while doing long running tasks and having to use the awful serial console.

We take a cloud agnostic approach to systems development so we have flexibility. Our team is quite small and we use Manageengine for patching servers and Atera for patching users systems. We only use a few cloud native services like AWS event bridge, load balancers, S3, Lambda, Azure DNS, Azure storage, Azure App service. But if needed we could pull any one of those and move to an open source solution without too much fuss. The red tape comes from exec level and their appetite for risk. For some reason they think cloud is more stable than our own servers. But we had to move VMs off Azure because of instability!

Yeah we were hit hard by the cost projections. It really sucks. But HCI stack from MS remains even more expensive. We have decided to bring as much as we can in house and only put the workloads that have strict contractual uptime agreements on our VMware or HCI stack. The rest of the stuff goes on KVM or bare metal to save costs.

Same, we use AWS, Azure and a third party VMware suite cloud. The VMware is superior by far IMO because I like to have full control of my systems and roll my own stuff. I think the big clouds make their money by saving time on dev ops. I come from a sys engineering background and transitioned to development so none of that stuff is very difficult. I’ve tried Linode, Hetzner, Digital ocean and a few more but I think VMware does all I need.
