Ikr, it's still weird to me how for so many organizations it suddenly became OK to have publically facing servers running Windows.

Hm, the WAF is not free and it won't tell me what their lowest tier does without me giving a ton of info to 'talk to an expert'. Bleh. The rest looked good though. I was hoping I could add theirs in front of my raspberrypi, or at least dockerize my rockberrypi or something and send it to them for free.

I feel dumb I didn't know that, but i'm happy to know it now.

Is it me, or does the idea of a self-reliant nuclear-powered data center sound pretty cool? Not dependent on a power grid, can (and should) be placed in the middle of nowhere, creates many jobs at all levels and an economy... You can basically spawn a city. Well, except in case of accidents or attacks. But these, like, almost never occur :)

Even if it was possible (probably russia or china for instance would have no problem letting them hop through), it's a difficult decision to take. You're not just cutting off scammers, you're cutting off everyone using internet to inform themselves outside of propaganda channels, the way it's supposed to be used. Some consider internet access a human right.

Yep, I got laid off over that a month ago this week, weee Oh wait that's not fun, the market is so dry right now. I used to get interviews within the 1st week. This time I got my only interview so far after 3 weeks and it went nowhere.

Yep I just finished 9 years at one of the biggest banks fully remote. I went in on the 1st day, to the nearest tower to show my papers. Never saw anybody since, and I changed manager and teams 5 times.

Just make it an option users can toggle, how hard is it. But no they can't have that, they have to decide what the users want.

95 OSR2 was OK, stable enough to be usable and had USB support.

Ugh I hate whatsapp. Pisses me off enough that they don't allow video calls on the web version, *and* don't release their shitty web client wrapper they call an app on Linux so we can have video calls, now they put ads in there too. Why is every popular product crap.

Guessing you haven't worked in IT. Installing board room video systems is depressing when you see how they splurge on themselves while they nickel-and-dime everybody else.

Well it's still Linux, if you want to install Xorg you can.

So they're saying they're releasing an XBOX branded handheld PC. Makes sense from a marketing point of view, but it's a non-news otherwise.

I mean, attack is always easier than defense. Breaking into one system you need a few really good guys, securing a whole thing you need a whole organization. The article doesn't compare the offensive cybersecurity capabilities of the USA, which I assume are massive. It's not gonna say "oh look we infiltrated this super secret stuff" in head lines. Actually that there's never a peep of anyone reporting being infiltrated by the USA is telling, it means they're better.

They were already doing that for businesses when I was working in China a little than 20 years ago, in Shenzhen. You could, and we did, request it and got it. (Fun fact: about a month later they gave us a mystery box to plug anywhere on our network - I was working security, it's lucky that when I put it 'anywhere' it landed on a completely isolated network with only public data :)
