There is nothing to refurbish in drives. They are just second hand devices. You can check if they are fine pretty easy and you need to take a look at the age (power on hours). I replace drives at 50k-60k hours, no matter if they are fine.

Mine doesn’t satisfy them, either. I switched off TPM in BIOS.

I laughed a bit. Thanks.

In 2020 there have been around 3000 data centers in Germany. Sounds more plausible to me.

Germany only 521? Seems a bit low.

What counts as a “data center”? How many rooms and how many racks does it need to have?

I don’t like the term “clever” in code, because sometimes it means “I’m too dumb to understand it”. Simply don’t touch clever code, unless you really understand it.

Best example is the fast inverse square root function in Quake. Yeah… it’s clever, but replace it by simple maths and let Quake have performance problems.

On the other hand, using AI for more than assisted coding is never clever. Some day some fuck will use it in medicine and will actually kill people. AI is not at fault here! It’s the programmer who killed a patient in this case by being irresponsible and lazy.

Devs care to debug code only if they believe in its quality. Otherwise they write the code again from scratch. This is also cheaper than debugging.

AI code is not clever. It’s all developers averaged. Even if it worked properly, you’d get average quality code.

It’s rather lazy and cheap. This is where the quality is lacking.

I think they are just expecting that the upper management generates code using AI and the coders will try to fix it to get it to work.

Also, lots of nasty bugs are in systems, because of bloat. They are getting fixed slowly, but who doesn’t know cases where you cannot shut down the machine, because of “bouncing stars”.

I still need to look up how to write an own startup script or start two same daemons listening on different IPs. This is why I avoid systemd on servers and only leave it on workstations.

I wish that someone sues when something breaks in the car that you didn’t opt in for.

And… yet better, they get sued when something breaks that is in connection with a paid service and someone suspects that it’s because they paid part caused it.

How about when the ad blockers insert a joke, when a blank screen is shown on YouTube?

Linux admins know that you’re worsening security when installing 3rd party stuff into kernel, so most of them tend to avoid it. And that’s why no one noticed that Crowdstrike problem.

The idea of “security software” is ridiculous overall. You buy a software to fix security problems in Windows and it violates the original product by inserting code into kernel code. You lose support by the original product vendor. And you think you’re secure, even the whole stuff makes you forget that IT should be always fit in solving security/restorability problems even when everything else fails.

It’s so easy to work around an audit. Companies lie. Auditors are being bribed. Everything is based on trust.

The article is about positive discrimination. The so-called critics fear that there is room for additional fees for for enhanced services, even the FCC clearly says that services should not be degraded and treated equally.

When FCC says that they never banned all prioritisation every “critic” is in state of alert. They ignore the fact that internet needs kinds of regulations to work properly on technical level and conflate the statement with the one above. FCC probably allows technical measures to regulate important cases of traffic shaping and even blocking when it’s harmful for the service overall. This implies the fact that net neutrality can be guaranteed with these regulations.

Maybe they mean low latency internet connections. This might need some better hardware installations on the side of the provider. This is probably not about net neutrality.

No. This was Munich with its Limux project.

This part of Germany has supported open source software for a long time now. So this didn’t come unexpected or without a decade long preparation.

The most important part is not the product here. Unfortunately, the people who work with the software decide. It’s also a huge effort to educate all the people to use LibreOffice.

The nice thing is that MS Office moves entirely to the cloud and SaaS. Schleswig Holstein are the only one who will be prepared for the worst soon.

They found out that the biggest anti spike protein boost was at the 214th shot. So maybe all these weren’t that useless…
