That is a lot of LSD! I think we would hear about that one.

It’s a law. Just words in a document. It doesn’t have to be realistic or even enforceable for them to pass a law.

Finally got around to dns-01 and acme containers today. Hooray LE signed wildcard lab cert.

I don’t know that I agree with that. Nazis suck, but just because they are trending at the moment doesn’t seem like a great reason to spend time dwelling in their ideology. Lots of people have done lots of ghastly things and you can’t unknow some of them. And now they live rent free in your head on the off chance someone’s words collide with an old phrase.

I don’t have a great answer, but I would have been happier if we taught people to recognize what fascism actually is and how to stop it rather than focusing on the icons and word choice of one set of awful people.

Adjustment on bullet one. We shouldn’t say they “raise” the chance, they are correlated with the increase. There has been no causal path suggested that I’m aware of. It’s a hard distinction if your not used to the concept, but it’s important.

I love the idea of this. I don’t think I would realistically ever buy or do this, but the process is clever and looks like it works well.

I feel like the first time you notice that you have lost some mental capacity is a middle age right of passage.

Honestly, that is awesome! Absolutely try things. Seeing what works and doesn’t is a great way to learn. The sneaky thing about hiding is that it works great until it fails utterly. (Security through obscurity.) I’m sure everyone who says “don’t do that” says it because they left some random thing open once and it was a disaster. (I lost a private wiki with all my notes back in the day.)

Keep at it. ;)

I’m not sure what you mean by non-spying, but you should be prepared for anything you put on the Internet to be poked by any number of people that you do not want poking. If whatever you are hosting would be compromised by having a DNS name, you might want to rethink your security plan.

I’m going to go with “nothing”. They blend their numbers but I’d be willing to bet the amount of money they make selling direct licenses is tiny. (Tiny at their scale, I’d take it any day.) The whole OEM business isn’t even huge to them. If they start losing the enterprise market, then I’m sure they would throw down, but you and everyone you know installing Linux would be fine. Have you noticed how easy it is to steal windows and how there seem to be very few repercussions? That says volumes about what they think the revenue potential of that market is…

That was actually a great writeup.

I have to do a lot of slides and emails. So I can dump in massive email threas, tell it the outcome and address every concern in my writing style. Then I read it over, delete parts and hit send. Same with prepping presentations. I can say recap the quarter’s highlights for xyz, pick a few and move on. I still have to present them and read things, but that’s getting to be the large part of the job.

AI isn’t a magic human replacement in most fields at the moment.

What language models allow is automate tasks that couldn’t be automated before. For example, if you spread a 10% time gain from the people who are already working, you are going to hire 10% fewer people.

I’ll say here, where no one knows me, that GenAI tools have probably cut my workload by half. Probably more if you discount the amount of time I spend staying ahead of folks. I can also say that none of my teams have had additional any headcount approved in the last 2 years.

That honestly sucks as a zoomer. I will say that the people we have added to teams have all came from internal promotions or acquiring small companies. Maybe start a passion project company and start building something even if it doesn’t make money and is mostly on paper.

Ahh, the greater sea weasel
