Likewise :) Sad to learn you are one of those that act confidentially while being blind. I’m the guy that cleans up after you.

The Internet is not supposed to be a source of happiness, that’s a sell by some platforms you should never buy into. The Internet is a source of information, and information will not make you happy.

Gaming, social media, or most other online interaction, is ultimately masturbation. It feels good for the moment, but it doesn’t last; you have nothing to look back on but Steam achievements or vacant profiles on a dead platform at the end.

If you’re suffering from depression, you likely can’t work yourself out of it through your own actions alone. Seek support. Things will not improve otherwise.

I’m not talking about myself in your last quote. I consult clients on their operational and technological challenges. I see a lot. Of course, you might also consult similar amounts of clients and you can see that their largest deficit contributor is that people aren’t taking their work home, but that’s not what I’m getting from you.

You just seem angry, because you can’t stomach that there are valid reasons for you to move out of your comfort zone. Sorry.

So how did those laptops get stolen? Would that have been possible if their users worked on a local client at the office?

Rocket science is a fucking joke compared to secure IT practices. You saying that, proves that you know neither well enough to participate in this discourse. Most users would operate more securely if their client device was also physically restricted. If you don’t understand that, that’s the reason you are not making decisions. I’m sorry to be so blunt.

There are highly capable technical people that can securely work from home, but this is not the average user. If you don’t recognize that, you are probably just cheering for your own personal comfort right now. I get comfort, but don’t be blind to reality

I work in consulting. I don’t have to make up anything. Be angry, but some people are trying to play their role in capitalism successfully.

Just because you can perform a job from home, doesn’t mean it’s ideal for performance. With jobs like surgeons or bus drivers it’s more obvious, but the cut is not as clear as people like it to be.

I would hope it doesn’t take you long to imagine someone who has access to information about you where you would prefer it not be open on their laptop on their kitchen table at home while guests are around.

I’m not trying to defend Amazon. This is an active subject at many companies.

Confident. I like that.

Especially because TypeScript compiles down to JavaScript JS

SmegmaScript is just too close

Fake Amazon reviews is a service you can buy to boost your product. Using genAI is an obvious move for these providers. Makes it harder for Amazon to find the fakes, because they can generate more content variety.

When you run a botnet for such a service, you can’t only put 5 star reviews on your client’s products. You want a variety of usage pattern modifiers to stay below the radar. Putting reviews on semi-random products is one technique.

I really love to work from home. But I also understand IT security is dramatically complicated by user’s working on their private network connection or even private client devices. Teamwork also suffers noticably in some professions.

I’m just waiting for someone to lecture me how the speed record in wheelchair sprint beats feet’s ass…

Ultimately, it doesn’t matter what caused you to be blocked from Docker Hub due to rate-limiting. When you’re in that scenario, it’s most cost efficient to buy your way out.

If you can’t even imagine what would lead up to such a situation, congratulations, because it really sucks.

Yes, there should be a cache. But sometimes people force pull images on service start, to ensure they get the latest “latest” tag. Every tag floats, not just “latest”. Lots of people don’t pin digests in their OCI references. This almost implies wanting to refresh cached tags regularly. Especially when you start critical services, you might pull their tag in case it drifted.

Consider you have multiple hosts in your home lab, all running a good couple services, you roll out that new container runtime upgrade to your network, it resets all caches and restarts all services. Some pulls fail. Some of them are for DNS and other critical services. Suddenly your entire network is down, and you can’t even get on the Internet, because your pihole doesn’t start. You can’t recover, because you’re rate-limited.

I’ve been there a couple of times until I worked on better resilience, but relying on docker.io is still a problem in general. I did pay them for quite some time.

This is only one scenario where their service bit me. As a developer, it gets even more unpleasant, and I’m not talking commercial.

OCI

Where are their numbers coming from? The central registry of carbon emissions for genAI data centers? They know shit. They’re probably shorting Nvidia and are crying over their losses. Fuck Morgan Stanley

They do. Reality is not going to change though. You can enable a handicapped developer to code with LLMs, but you can’t win a foot race by using a wheelchair.

In short, untreated mental illness

Right. And then they locate it and search the rooms nearby. Exactly what their disclaimer is about

Meta offers products, which are communication platforms. I didn’t imply they have a monopoly on communication. What are you even talking about?

It’s the way to go, but too difficult for most users in my experience. They rather just install Docker Desktop and use git bash. Sad reality
