Hmm it says my ASN has 512 IPv4 addresses, as the guy who filled out the paperwork for that from ARIN and got a /24 (256 addresses) afterwards, I think this has some major bugs.

Oh and it doesn't even properly consume the geofeed information I have published.

We can't build a TV from 50 years ago, much less a space rocket.

Because we stopped, we get to do everything over again with hardware from this century.

I don't think you understand how a swiss cheese failure happens. They're not independent or semi-independent. Latent failures, expose active failures, like:

"Committed hard to an assumption that was wrong"

Then causes damage to the seawater pumps along the shoreline, and flooded emergency diesel generators.

That causes total loss of AC and DC power.

Loss of AC and DC power causes the reactor to overheat.

Except that there are a LOT of people that want to work in video games (which is the supply) which then depresses the price (wages)

All of my developer friends in the gaming industry have had far worse working conditions then what I've had.

The speed of light doesn't lie, IP addresses don't have any sort of physicality.

"we don't want IP's from Frankfurt showing up somewhere in Dubai"

From a network perspective statements like that make no sense. IP addresses don't have any sort of physicality,

Be wary of Bluesky 5 months ago

That's the same argument people made about Twitter. "If it goes bad, we'll just leave." We know how that played out.

Yeah, it played out with my whole social circle leaving, as evidenced by the fact that all my friends link me to the bluesky post whenever there's something happening now.

CDs can oxidize in the span of decades. I've got hundreds of burned CDs that are from 2003 that are fine (even if they have changed color) because i store them in a climate controlled environment.

A vinyl record degrades every time you play it in a normal turntable.

Not even a day ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46454115:

I want my browser to protect me from ALL those things. Ublock origin did precisely that, then Google went in to kill ublock origin. Ublock lite is nowhere near as good.

I consider this betrayal - naturally by Google, but also by random web designers such as on the python homepage who consider it morally just to pester visitors when they do not want to be pestered. I don't accept ads; I don't accept pop-ups or slide-in effects (in 99.999% of the cases; notifications for some things can be ok, but this does not extend in my book to donation Robin Hood waylanders)."

Known vulnerabilities often get fixed sooner than seven days.

You will not know how long it takes to get a zero day fixed, because zero in "zero day" ends when the vendor is informed:

"A zero day vulnerability refers to an exploitable bug in software that is unknown to the vendor."

I upgrade all dependencies every time I deploy anything. If you don't, a zero day is going to bite you in the ass: that's the world we now live in.

I think you're using a different definition of zero day than what is standard. Any zero day vulnerability is not going to have a patch you can get with an update.
