I say this as someone who never stopped looking until I found a gaming buddy in a partner. When every night is a date, lan party, and sleepover all at once… I certainly can’t tell you what’s important to you, just never settle.

Nothing beats the bang/buck ratio of used enterprise hardware (always buy new drives though if you care about the data)

I’ve bought from all of these in the past, personally I’m a fan of dells but there are arguments for just about any of the major 3 (dell, hp, sueprmicro)

Personally my main server right now is an r630. 96 threads, 768gb of ram. With that many memory channels, not only can you run all of what you listed, you can even do medium-sized inferencing/diffusion if you’re interested in that sort of thing.

Idk, this was kind of a rare combination of “write secure function; proceed to ignore secure function and rawdog strings instead” + “it can be exploited by entering a string with a semicolon”. Neither of those are anything near as egregious as a use after free or buffer overflow. I get programming is hard but like, yikes. It should have been caught on both ends

Because that bug was so egregious, it demonstrates a rare level of incompetence.

Because $350 couldn’t possibly buy enough hardware to run a modern operating system!

• Microsoft, probably

You’re right, how short-sighted of me. Thank you corporate overlords for saving me the burden of managing your text files for you.

This is probably the play they’re making; the only thing that makes me think it might be something else is that they also announced ditching proprietary code in favor of kvm in workstation. Makes me wonder if they instead are deciding to slowly kill the product line, and instead of just stopping development entirely, they’re giving it out as if it’s some huge gift to try and “buy” good will before it becomes an inferior product?

Either way, support costs for the product are now $0 (because you can’t buy it) and development costs are about to be near-zero if they’re forking upstream kvm.

Who decides what “truth” is? In concept I’m with you but in practice that sounds like a nightmare. See: mainland china

Governments should be the arbiters of law and recommendations, not the arbiters of truth.

The state of modern technology is so unhinged that not only has it been a basic feature of the core operating system for almost a decade, enabling it on any device that doesn’t intentionally break the feature is literally just creating a specific text file with the desired charge limit as an integer.

I wish we owned the things we bought. 🙃

King size candy bars, give out 2 to each. Everyone always loved that guy

The thing about rational actors, is when given the same information they should make the same choices. I would argue that they’re most likely, instead, just at the peak of mt. stupid

We shouldn’t blame the victims that society failed to properly educate. You’re right that if people intimately understood apple the way you probably do, they’d never buy an apple product. I would argue, however, that it’s a failing of education not an informed choice to be corporately cucked.

Raid is not a backup!

Noooo, you got this backwards. Think about how many times you wanted an extra key for something. Push-to-talk in VoIP apps, extra modifier keys so you don’t have to use double-modifiers… The possibilities are endless!

Standardize more useless keys so I can remap them on every keyboard!

I don’t think anyone should expect a battery replacement to be free after 10 years, but it shouldn’t cost $100,000

Just because you can’t use it doesn’t mean a hacker can’t. If someone discovered a vulnerability in the 3g handshake or encryption protocol, it could be an avenue for an RCE.

Talescale proper gives you an external dependency (and a lot of security risk), but the underlying technology (wireguard) does not have the same limitation. You should just deploy wireguard yourself; it’s not as scary as it sounds.

Generally the lifecycle with this sort of thing is old_thing becomes an alias to new_thing, and eventually old_thing gets dropped as an alias down the line.

It’s still decent advice to learn dnf native calls and to update scripts using yum to those native calls.

Yes you are correct, I had the two reversed in my head.

Hangouts was built on xmpp, and used to allow federation. Yes xmpp still exists but it’s functionally dead.
