"Render useless" makes me think of something more like the F00F bug - hard lockup until a reboot.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentium_F00F_bug
OS vendors worked around it in software.
Here's one for credential scanning:
For starters, that "just" is swallowing:
- Identify the relevant tokens you want to scan for, and create regular expressions to capture them.
- Create a token alert service which accepts webhooks from GitHub that contain the token scanning message payload.
- Implement signature verification in your token alert service.
- Implement token revocation and user notification in your token alert service.
And that would replace one piece of what this does.
We do several of these things, and bundling them together looks nice; I imagine troubleshooting the pipeline is much easier. We would need the enterprise version because we are on-prem, and our user count compared against the 'pro' edition makes me think this would be a hard sell - high 5 figures/year to replace a few shell scripts is tough.
Reminds me of a saying from the first dot.com crash. (Or at least I heard it then first.)
Tying two bricks together doesn't make them float.
Why keep yourself in a position where you have to ask FB for permission to speak?
Vote with your feet. Build a website FB doesn't control.
Many of us in California don't care if you think they "shouldn't" live here.
I'm perfectly well aware of the economic and tribal arguments. The former are not convincing and the proponents of the latter can go pound sand - given my preferences, I'd exclude them long before I'd exclude immigrants over paperwork.
So, explain this. I mean, it is a positive step that you've backed off your strange "rage" accusation, but why do you consider my stance on the technical merits of this step irrational?
Why does any criticism of systemd have to be due to "rage"? There is this ongoing behavior whereby anything other than fawning praise is treated as irrational and emotion-driven.
You may as well ask why Lennart rages so hard against ZFS.
I think this may be where I step off the train. I grumbled, but can live with it as init, and it is easy enough to disable the ntp and name resolution nonsense to use decent tools.
Buy systemd has no business sticking its nose in authentication or storage, or more generally telling me how to manage users. This is a no.
There has been more than one Cisco vulnerability that struck people as suspicious.
I know it comes to my mind every time I see the string "Cisco zero day", whether or not it seems likely in any particular case.
Don't fall for the trap that this is about "big tech".
It isn't.
It is about your freedom of speech and ability to protect yourself.
The problem would be that they would no longer be academics.
For a lot of people who head down that path, they consider it more of a vocation than a job. It may well be a good thing for all the next folks who consider the path, but it choosing that would come at a large personal cost for them.
Most folks are not that altruistic.
Some time ago I saw an Iphone app that could "read" resistors by pointing your camera at them, but can't find it now.
Googling, I see one for Android, which I don't use:

Academics should [...] vot[e] with their feet.
You do see the problem here, don't you?
In the end the charity still gets more money than they had before and the runners get some exercise
So "they" should be thankful for any old crumbs left on the table after their betters are done patting themselves on the back?
Honestly, I prefer the Randian take on charity to this. At least that one has the virtue of not obfuscating.
Conservative != bigot/anti-gay.
We do have a brood of reactionaries attempting to blur that distinction like they always do, but there are plenty of conservatives who do not share that particular bias.
Sounds like you turned on dedupe, or had an absurdly wide stripe size. You do need to match your array structure to your needs as well as tune ZFS.
On our backup servers (45 disks, 6-wide Z2 stripes) easily handle wire-speed 10G with 32G ARC.
And you're just wrong about snapshots and filesystem counts.
ZFS is no speed demon, but it performs just fine if you set it up correctly and tune it.
Linus is just wrong as far as maintenance, as a look at the linux-zfs lists would show.
From my perspective, it has no real competitor under linux, which is why I use it. I don't consider brtfs mature enough for critical data. (Others can reasonably disagree, I have intentionally high standards for data durability.)
Aside from legal issues, he's talking out of his ass.
No, but even if the crazy person is correct in this instance, I'm still not relying on them for political/personal safety/vitamin/any other information of any consequence.
And for most people it seems to work satisfactorily
Most people apparently don't look at their pictures.
The "enhanced" photos I've gotten from the Iphone for the last few models have just been getting worse. They look OK if you don't look too closely, but then they're just wrong. Blurry details on the same focal plane as crisp ones, crappy details with translucency, hair or anything else that confuses the "foreground/background" detector, they're just bad.
My DLSR will be in service for quite a while longer.
I'd guess traffic was rerouted.
Recaptcha can make you cycle through a half-dozen different images
That's when I just leave. If I'm feeling nice, I'll drop the site owner a note explaining why, but usually not.
Nobody's site is that great.
Education is a very "enterprisey" market in which the purchasers are not the users, who are essentially powerless.
Pearson doesn't need to deliver quality, they need to deliver functional + whatever sweetener on the rest of the contract to keep out the competition.
It took us about half a year to get billing set up with them. Completely pointless shit show that basically every other company on the planet manages, with Google's own unique weirdness about talking with icky customers.
It was an unpleasant process, and then we dropped them anyway (but not because they suck at billing).
Yep, that's about right, except that Amazon is filling your swimming pool.
They are are the equivalent of Airbus - a national champion for both commercial and military contracting.
Imagine the US military going to another country hat-in-hand to buy aircraft.
That's why.
Can you point to a page where Ring says this? I cannot find any indication that these work with anything other than their cloud service.
This is a red-herring.
Nobody cares about physical access to essentially disposable cameras. The stored footage is the whole game.
Taste is intensely personal, and everyone gets their own.
Impact on the genre and on culture in general, however, is an more objective thing, and by that measure, Gibson is a giant.
I never understood why Gibson has been written about so much when his output is so little.
As a huge science fiction nerd, I get impatient for new mind candy, too. But I far prefer a few stellar novels to a stream of forgettable pap, and by that measure, Gibson also over-performs.
