Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way

I manage a stack like this, we have dedicated hardware running a steady state of backend processing, but scale into AWS if there’s a surge in realtime processing needed and we don’t have the hardware. We also had an outage in our on prem datacenter once which was expensive for us (I assume an insurance claim was made), but scaling to AWS was almost automatic, and the impact was minimal for a full datacenter outage.

If we wanted to optimize even more, I’m sure we could scale into Azure depending on server costs when spot pricing is higher in AWS. The moral of the story is to not get too locked into any one provider and utilize some of the abstraction layers so that AWS, Azure, etc are just targets that you can shop around for by default, without having to scramble.

This is great and all, but what I really need is an alternative picture of shel silverstein to put on the back of the book.

To be fair, the department of defence did have the $10 billion JEDI cloud contract that Amazon and Microsoft were fighting for a few years ago, so it’s not much of a stretch.

It’d be great if there were some handing of YT video ids in Lemmy, which would be independent of the provider domain. So like in Lemmy you could link to a YT video by the id (not URL), and then based on the user settings, that would open up in Piped or Youtube based on preference. I guess this could be done client side, and rewrite youtube links, but then for people who prefer Youtube and get a piped link, you’d need to know to rewrite that link. Anyway, that’s the society I’d like to live in.

Are you saying that your LGBT group has different pronoun badges? I feel like you have to post your group’s for a pronoun badge off contest.

A4 is 17.6mm longer than an 8.5x11" sheet of paper.

And when do you ever need the feature to fold an A4 sheet into A5?

It baffles me that you can advertise something as “unlimited” and then impose arbitrary limits after the fact. AWS and Google advertise their CDN rates with tiers for certain bandwidth limits. It seems like CF is advertising as “unlimited” and then once you’re fully invested, they pull the bait and switch and say you’re over the limit for that tier. Based on those HackerNews links, it seems systemic and something the FTC should fine them, like they did with AT&T over the same thing.

This is why they added non removable batteries in the Gameboy Advance SP and ever since.

oh lawdosis he comin

As a side note, I’m sorry for your pain

Explain it like I’m 5 please?

This argument implies there’s an easy way for you to perform the reproducible builds on iOS, but it’s quite involved and requires a jailbroken iPhone. Overall this is more a limitation of apple and not signal.

Even if you were able to perform a reproducible build of Signal on a jailbroken iPhone, there’s no way to confirm that the stock iOS Signal app will match, or has a backdoor that got added in a supply chain attack that only is delivered to non jailbroken phones. You could use a jailbroken iOS device, but then it could be lagging behind updates and be even more vulnerable from zero days.

The real pressure here should be on Apple to provide a way to verify a build of an open source app matches what is being installed via the app store, but for some reason this is being framed as a Signal issue, which is disingenuous.

It feels like this needs to be managed on an instance by instance level and not post to post.

What is the 5th flag?

I too just listened to this episode of Decoder Ring

Seriously, now that this is more widely known, it’ll for sure be taken advantage of a lot, to the point AWS will begrudgingly protect their customers once the damage is done.

Windows is banned in my household, so l’m not worried about malware.

This is a false sense of security and just because you’re not running Windows doesn’t mean you’re immune to everything and can let your defenses down. For example, KDE recently had to announce that downloading themes will execute arbitrary code and cited someone who had personal information deleted because of downloading a theme.

Hopefully you’ll be able to be many steps ahead of the authorities
