We migrated ~50 VMs from esxi to proxmox. It required a downtime for every VM but it was quite painless otherwise - mount esxi as a storage and import machines from it. Apart from a couple of older Windows machines that did not boot (google error 0000007b and how to fix it), it went quite well. Newer Linux machines renamed network cards, this was also easy to fix, we needed to login there and install QEMU guest agent anyway. In terms of time spent I would estimate that for a day or so of time, otherwise it was just running and I had to check here and there on the progress while working on other stuff.

Just couple of days ago Tesla made their car API public (https://developer.tesla.com/docs/fleet-api). Time to vote with your wallet...

Why should app like this require payment? You already bought the washing machine, right? Isn't this enough?

Right, not Java but its bytecode...

Unfortunately somebody had this bright idea to introduce ligatures instead of stuff like "!=", the code is unreadable because of this and what's even worse, it is enabled by default. Older IDEs are not able to disable it (NetBeans, for one). I'm staying with Noto Sans.

True story!

If you want to allow write operation, you can not prevent malware file encryption. You could ask the user every time file it written into, but that would make it quite annoying...

Well they have this experimental road in Norway where lights dim when there are no cars around (https://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/infrastructure/a14585697/hole-norway-highway-lights-save-energy-by-dimming/).

This really depends on which emission standard are we talking about. If you compare EURO6 diesel car with similarly sized electric car in Germany, you might end up with more harmful emissions (NOx, HC, PM) from coal portion of the electricity needed. Yes, it's being produced somewhere else than city centre, but still it's far from ideal.

Yes, you can. Ford, for example, offers (paid) access to all service docs and diagnostic software. It's not cheap, though (couple of $k per year).

Especially fifth point is really strong... not.

Not if you never boot it again.

While your statement is correct, it kind of misses the problem. With current demand we need more quality craftsmen than there is or ever will be available (in foreseeable future). In this regard, having safe languages looks like a good choice. Not all pieces of software needs to be written by the best of the best anyway. We just need to make sure someone's badly written GUI application does not crash the whole OS. If if it crashes, make sure there is an output from that crash that even sub-standard programmer can understand and fix.

This is a PR campaign orchestrated by BSA (Business Software Aliance), see this article (in czech, google translated) https://translate.google.com/t... It's not right to pirate software but it's also not right to lie, shame on you, BSA.

Right. Those are the two steps I take with most of the systems - non-standard user, in case port is not required for normal operation - non-standard port (ssh for instance). Makes most of automated attacks worthless.
