Wow. Our DMV didn’t get us our plates for for almost 2 months, and from what I’ve heard, that’s faster than usual.

Oregon

About a week ago I saw a brand new model Y (still had the 90 day temporary plate) sporting one of those “bought before elon…” stickers.

While tens of thousands of people have joined Facebook groups in Sweden and Denmark calling for no longer buying American, Norwegian company Haltbakk Bunkers has announced that it will stop supplying US military vessels with fuel.

This first US company they (and everyone) needs to boycott is Meta.

Its only been a few weeks, but I should give it a good blowout regardless.

Good call. That’s plan b now.

Thanks!

I spent half a dozen hours this weekend trying to get Proxmox running on a 2nd hand laptop, but I can’t get it to run without sounding like a jet engine. The machine did fine when I ran Mint and used it as a laptop - but even after blacklisting the dGPU and forcing all the CPU cores to powersaving, I’m still making heat like crazy.

Plan B is to put Mint back on it and install podman and see if fan noise is a problem then. But I’d rather have podman running in an unprivileged LXC.

Did both Edge users complain?

I used their mapping and geocoding APIs for years, back when I was negotiating contracts. They’re good (at least in N. America) and 1/5th the price of google.

I’m going to assume this was Daniel O’Brien’s doing… because he’s the only Last Week writer I know specifically.

That’s actually the area I currently work in, though not banking specifically. We do financial software for small governments. All the software was written in the 80s and 90s and we’re babying it along well into the 2030s in all likelihood. Those old systems require very specific environments which we’re now trying to emulate in the cloud. It’s fairly specific at the end of the day. And because this small government segment is currently undergoing consolidation I know what we see is the norm.

Thankfully I just have to maintain the cloud infrastructure and making it as reliable and secure as possible.

I don’t like living in the future as much as young me thought I would.

I would say you can’t separate the two. It’s a natural extension of Gall’s Law, the simple system that works is the stack.

You know when users complain about the lingering bugs, unexpected slow downs, and slow delivery of new features caused by tech debt (even though they don’t know that). That’s them caring about your stack, whether they know it or not.

Everything backs up to a Synology diskstation (with disk redundancy). The Syno’s Hyperbackup makes backups of critical stuff stuff to the cloud weekly. In the case of my self-hosted stuff, it’s mostly the share storage where all my docker volumes map to. Also workstation backsups, home assistant backups, phone photos, etc.

A back up of the temporally replaceable stuff (everything not covered above) which is hosted from the Diskstation, is made to an external drive a few times a year and stored off-site the rest of the time. This isn’t 3-2-1, but its close enough for my needs.

Perfect domain for a shitcoin.

I care, in so much as I want to know what weakness I can exploit.

Others who will be able to take and control the data may include Iran, Belarus, Russia, North Korea, and any shlub with a a copy of Kali and decent understanding of cybersecurity.
