Our company still relies 100% on Azure and probably won’t switch anytime soon. Azure has now opened a partnership with an EU company to share code with them in case of a hostile government takeover (idea being that they could rebuild the cloud in the EU). This obviously purely symbolic and completely impractical measure was still enough for our company to cancel all plans to migrate away from Azure. It’s frustrating.

No, but I’d like to hear it if anyone else finds one

Some apps really go overboard, I tried out a bookmark collection app called Linkwarden some time ago and it needed 3 docker containers and 800MB RAM

Akamai, Fastly, and the other big cloud providers each have their own solution. There don’t seem to be many large CDN’s in the EU, though

I looked through the data and less than 1% was looking for a same-sex partner

Does it grow?

the OS maintains a pool of zeroed pages

TIL, I didn’t know that.

Doesn’t that make it slower because it needs to zero out all the bytes first?

You start it and it scales right up

Don’t forget about the glare

This sounds like a great idea, I might finally be able to use Linux at work in the future.

Microsoft also charges you €13 a month for every running self hosted agent on Azure DevOps

Yes, unfortunately

I’m not using n8n, but I am using Node-RED and would like to hear from people who have used both.

I should play Windwaker again

They said that you can change it if you want, but did they say they will provide Windows drivers for their semi-custom Ryzen chip?

Good that you added that security disclaimer

I would’ve shared it as text if I had the original email, but I don’t.

This is about Mensa UK’s site, not MCO

They apparently didn’t even hash the stored passwords. It’s insane for any website, even a hobby project to store passwords in plain text.

Mr Hopkinson, who until recently was the board’s technology officer, said he had battled to convince Mensa’s leadership team to tackle data security issues surrounding member passwords since 2018.

His biggest concern was that member passwords were not “hashed” or scrambled, making them potentially identifiable to hackers.

He told the Financial Times that Mensa holds a lot of sensitive information — including the IQ scores of members and failed applicants; instant messaging conversations on its website; bank details from the online shop; as well as passwords, email details and home addresses.
