Considering how many trillions quietly went into the field, I expect that’s a LOT lower than real numbers.

Perhaps not famously, but Blue in presidential races and overall in the house since 2008.

All the governors but two since 78

2024 is showing signs of slowing or gerrymandering attempts.

This would be a GREAT time to post some links to videos about it on Peertube.

no one ever discloses, they just wait to get caught, then make a new extension and restart the cycle.

Breaking: Lightning flashes, thunderous boom. Jesus Christ appears upon a obelisk in the center of the reflecting pool in DC.

And I say unto you: FUCKING HELL, CAN YOU ALL JUST STOP RUINING THE WORLD AND EACHOTHER, JUST FUCKING STOP IT WITH THE MONEY AND FUCKING OVER THE POOR. EVERYONE DESERVES FOOD AND COMFORT AND STOP TRYING TO SPEND ALL THE NATURAL RESOURCES ON GET RICH QUICK AI BULLSHIT, I CAN’T BELIEVE I HAD TO COME DOWN HERE TO STOP YOU ASSHOLES.

A complicated system design with multiple loosely related systems dynamically handing off work to each other with a race condition, REALLY doesn’t fit the single point of failure concept.

DevOps here too, I’ve been starting to slide my smaller redundant services into k8s. I had to really defend my position not to use ECS.

No, we’re using kubeadm because I don’t want to give a damn if it’s running in the office, or google or amazon or my house. It’s WAY harder and more expensive than setting up an eks and a EC/Aurora cluster, but I can bypass vendor lock in. Setting up my own clusters and replicas is a never ending source of work.

The last time I looked at bus internet for my location, they wanted 3x the price for 2/3 the speed. At my actual job 20m away, I have the same provider and a business acct. Same downtime, same equipment, only unlock port 80 and 443.

I certainly don’t miss dealing with air conditioning, dry fire protection, and redundant internet connections.

I also don’t miss trying to deal with aging servers out and bringing new hardware in.

I don’t care if they map my house, just give me raw access to the data. Them having access to the speaker and mic, i’m more concerned about.

it predated AI, but likely seems to have had some AI cleanup.

If it was truly just vibecoded, the comments would usually be on every element.

I just did the same f’ing thing and came here to write your comment!

well done.

Dev: My app’s getting a 400 hitting the server. Your firewall changes broke it.

Me: You’re getting to the server, it’s giving you back a malformed request error. Most likely it’s a problem in your client.

Dev: it worked fine until you made that change in QA.

Me: Your server is in production.

After that, I just get too busy to look at it for a while… They figure it out eventually.

TBF, if they’re going to lock you in a burning car unable to exit, killing you with the dashboard or sterring column would be a mercy killing compared to burning to death inside.

replace the airbag with a letal injection perhaps?

A man can dream…

sounds like quite a pain to google/apple, I think they should just ban them until they change their minds

Honey, break out the arc net adapters. It’s going to be a long night.

Getting the machine running was cake, getting online through dialup after that was the real pain :)

Mobile device flashing is a fucking alien world. Samsung products are not good for it, especially in the US.

The alt OS’s are mainly built against ancient hardware, and the SKUs that work are so limited that they’re not particularly cheap on the used market.

The best thing you can do is go fairphone or pixel and specifically get one of the models that is directly claimed as supported.

If you can’t get it to work, find the OS forums and hop in, someone will bend over backward to help you out if you’re nice about it.

Ehh, big bucks and job security can be quite an afridesiac. Just have to make sure to stay clean and presentable, and share some leisure activities that your potential mates will enjoy.
