Keep Tier-One Applications Out of Virtual Environments
  • You can prevent downtime by mirroring your container repository and keeping a cold stack in a different cloud service. We wrote an loe, decided the extra maintenance wasn't worth the effort to plan for provider failures. But then providers only sign contracts if you are in their cloud and you end up doing it anyways.

    Unfortunately most victims aren't using best practices let alone industry standards. The author definitely learned the wrong lesson though.

  • If the logic of copyright/trademark/IP law applied to everything, what's the most peculiar possible implication you can think of for it?
  • I actually think this backfires on most of you. Copyright law makes everything public domain after a period of time, Johnny Fires kids will be able to trade for all the first professionals in the world. But Life +70 years after currency is invented, anyone can print cash and trade falls apart and services and materials are the only thing if value. Copyright laws broken :shrug:

  • TIL Disney's Star Wars Hotel was a massive waste of time
  • Just learned about her thanks! She is very passionate, clear and intelligent. Unfortunately this is a lesson most people learn about premium vacations and she made a 4 hour rant video about it. I'm not a star wars fan but I'm likely watching this whole thing.

  • Fellow 90s kid, my parents were exactly the same. Religious background, fox news constantly, I once didn't text back within 2 hours and had a neighbor contacted via Facebook knocking on my door in my 30s (to be fair I work on call so it's atypical). I got lectured at 18 for buying an m rated game in front of them... Police report was a bit much; but I you aren't alone.

    Side note I would recommend this nostalgic song: high fives - 90s kid anthem by Dr awkward

  • Decision time
  • First off, it's important to understand Responsive Design responsive design and why you shouldn't be writing your own css these days as a newbie. Bootstrap is a public css doc with a lot of those problems pre-solved, so you might want to look up some of their tooling.

    As far as a website: you'll need a domain name, you can get some for free, but they usually have short renewals otherwise this is unavoidable.

    You can pay for "shared hosting" at any of the major vendors like blue host or GoDaddy and get apache or aspx file hosting for like you said $X0/year.

    You can use an s3 static website for ~free. Creating a DNS hosted zone is $.50. but you can create an s3 bucket (think flash drive in the cloud) store a threshold of free documents, and publish them as a website all within the free tier of AWS. This has some technical background and AWS can get expensive of you make mistakes (although this shouldn't scale much unless you upload a thousands ton of files repeatedly)

    Alternatively you can use GitHub pages . Git is a tool used by developers to share and edit code, they let you publish free HTML as well, but requires learning git or figuring out a tool with a UI like source tree. I don't think you can use custom domains with this though.

    Although if you have any interest in tech, you can also create a free nginx docker container through a lot of services like ecs, but you can also self host in a "sandbox". Docker creates a mini virtual machine with all of the code required to run self contained. Nginx let's you create HTML docker containers by mounting a directory. ~ docker start nginx /website/directory And it just runs self contained.

  • What second hand laptop should I buy?
  • I just purchased a refurb 16g m1 air for $350 for myself for this exact reason. I hate the osx environment but it's the best deal right now for a budget device and it doesn't have windows. Linux doesn't like the security chip but it's not a blocker for cutting over you just need to disable a feature flag..

  • Random 15 November 2013
  • It's likely a comment on enshitification and locking you into a platform like gamepass in order to play games you own online.

    Edit: instead of downvoting maybe explain it to us then? The other guy obviously represents the game system and he locked him up instead of playing a game. Did we get a bunch more reddit users lately?

  • How do you handle backup?
  • 4 bay nas 22tb drives = 88tb as a single volume. Backed up to offline single storage drives that are timestamped. Anything newer than that timestamp gets rsynced/robocopied to a new drive until it's full., update timestamp, swap drive and rinse repeat. If a drive fails, just replace it and copy the contents of the backup drives to master and restored. Alternatively you can set a single disk tolerance raid.

  • The opposite of shopaholic: shopcell
  • 06:30-02:30 (note the 0!) means 6:30 am to 2:30 am the following day. Anything in pm would be +12 hours. 6:30 pm becomes 18:30; 2:30pm is 14:30. Using this format you want 06:30-14:30 which is 8 hours.

    This format is important because it actually solves the problem you are trying to explain (am/pm). Regularly I need to give EST database timestamps for a PST server cluster while living in another timezone myself and speaking to someone in India which is :30min difference in time zones and trying to account for daylight savings. Removing am/pm just makes it easier to track what happens in different places without looking at the wrong time window. Time math is messy and stupid, be specific by using 24 hours instead of 12

    Edit: I guess no one works in timestamps, keep on being terrible for the rest of us.

    Edit 2: if you don't understand how time works, reconsider your opinion. Spreading misinformation is damaging

  • She Loves Him So Much
  • Dogs do what their owners do, if the owners a choncc, their dogs a choncc. Not to mention that dogs usually have the same food habits their owners do (open bowl, larger servings, sharing unhealthy people food)

  • We need to nationalise Google, Facebook and Amazon. Here’s why
  • This is a complicated problem but the answer is likely ~socialism. The scenario you presenting is fix forward and try to retain the current economic status quo, which is imbalanced and rewards power and exploitation. We really should be living in a world where basic needs are guaranteed for everyone by a regulated market with multiple stakeholders keeping the process honest. Giving a single entity power generally doesn't last longer than a generation or two.

  • Use a password manager
  • I have yet to hear about bitwarden getting pwned

    Honestly this is the part that scares me the most. Well maybe it's the fact we have multiple plausible scenarios... What happens when you get locked out of bitwarden? I imagine the 256 randomized salted hash passwords will be hard to call, some companies will likely be able to restore your password via phone support. During that time, informed attackers will potentially have the master keys to your entire life. Fighting ai chatbots trying to recall security questions. During that time your phone and Internet service could be shut off, secondary emails changed and validated, money transferred out of bank accounts, stocks and crypto sold. Crowdstrike was a valuable security company.
