- Comment on does the new employee eventually stop being the one given the most tasks? 3 days ago:
Yes, when there’s a new new guy.
Common practice in most workplaces is to continue the cycle. But, if you want to build influence, you don’t do that. When the next new guy comes along, you adopt them, you show them how to get things done, and when other people dump shit on them you help clean it up. You don’t do their work for them, but you also don’t leave them to do the work alone.
And you teach them to do the same thing with the next new guy. When they’re up to speed you start load balancing with each other intentionally. Maybe you’re still shoveling shit, but you’re not doing it alone. If you don’t have a tribe, build one.
And then break the cycle.

- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 3x09 "Terrarium" 4 days ago:
Questions at the end of the episode:
-
Are we going to address the moral issue of Ortegas just stealing from the Gorn? No, OK cool.
-
Why did the shuttle collapse into the ground at that exact moment? or, at all? We saw no other instances of things just falling into the ground on this planetoid.
-
Are we going to address the moral issue of Uhura putting 400 lives at risk for the sake of her personal feelings? No, OK cool. That little conversation with Pike doesn’t count. The moral at the end of the story is “It’s OK to lie and put everyone at risk to make yourself feel better.”

- Also, as noted in the episode, we have shuttles… even if it’s slower, you can reduce risk by sending the slower ship with the critical McGuffin toward the rendezvous, and ask the other ship to speed up to compensate. If you’re able to finish the rescue then you can just overtake the shuttle and pick it up on your way to the rendezvous. Either way the critical McGuffin gets delivered. Problem solved.

- Comment on The Future Is Being Delivered by Chinese Drones 2 weeks ago:
I think it’s relevant that there doesn’t seem to be any oversight for civilian safety in regard to experimental flying objects.
If a large-scale government space project doesn’t get oversight, how much is there going to be for a shipping business?
- Comment on The Future Is Being Delivered by Chinese Drones 2 weeks ago:
not China per se, but more like general lack of safety regulations bad

This is the country that drops rocket boosters on residential areas (more than once) (more than twice).
I don’t think I’d want to be living in the areas where the rich people are getting their stuff delivered by drones.

“male climate change”?
Is that what you call it when you shrink up because it’s cold?
- Comment on How do I beat the roaches in this house? 2 weeks ago:
There’s a food source somewhere. Assuming they’re not getting food from your kitchen (you’re not finding them in the pantry), there must be something else nearby. What’s around? Anything you can get rid of? Old cardboard boxes? Dead plants/yard waste? Pet food?
How old is the house? Does it have wallpaper? If you are unlucky they might be eating wallpaper glue or something like that. Also have you made sure there isn’t a sewage leak under the house?
- Comment on The internet kind of sucks right now 2 weeks ago:
There is rarely a good reason to use cloudflare […] By using cloudflare, you surrender your digital sovereignty for a mirage of convenience and safety.
Heh, man you have no idea how bad the DDoS attacks are without some form of protection. It doesn’t necessarily have to be Cloudflare, but if you’re putting up a public-facing website that you want people to be able to access, you absolutely need some DDoS protection service. You need someone to detect large-scale malicious traffic and offload it before it hits your system. It’s no mirage. Arch has been under attack for days. DDoS-for-hire is a profitable criminal enterprise.
Self-hosting a bot-interference tool like Anubis does nothing to help with DDoS attacks. You need a high-bandwidth shield that can absorb the incoming connection requests, filter out the legitimate users and dump the rest, and that means a CDN.

Yup, they buy up portions of production runs and relabel it. This is why some products are not available sometimes - because they couldn’t negotiate the contract to be able to sell it at the Costco price.
- Comment on Microsoft says U.S. law takes precedence over Canadian data sovereignty 2 weeks ago:
Certainly, but it doesn’t exist yet, and Microsoft has been developing their system for more than two decades. There is a lot of catching up to do to get to feature parity.
- Comment on Microsoft says U.S. law takes precedence over Canadian data sovereignty 2 weeks ago:
Maybe… almost universally, open source software requires more initial configuration work and more long-term oversight to keep operational, so if you’re making a statement like this you have account for additional labor costs. Proprietary software is usually sold as an out-of-the-box solution (it usually isn’t, but it’s usually a lot closer than open source equivalents).
The entry cost for an open source solution might be lower (no licensing fees) but the long-term cost might actually be higher, especially when you start trying to make various pieces of software work together. One of the areas where Microsoft does really well is system administration tools. Active Directory is a full suite of tools that all work together through a unified interface. To replicate AD you would have to patch many different open source projects together, some of which would overlap in functionality and some of which wouldn’t quite meet in the middle. As your environment increases in complexity and your sysadmin needs expand, these interoperation problems grow exponentially, which means more labor time and more expertise requirements, less stability and more security holes between the patched-together solutions.
Don’t get me wrong, I love open source software, but so far there are no good open source sysadmin solutions that scale well for organizations with thousands of users.

Basically, .COM files are not commonly used and definitely not commonly shared on the Internet. The overlap between use cases for .COM files and .com TLDs is almost nothing.
In contrast, .ZIP files are very commonly shared on the Internet as a convenient way to transfer a group of files all at once, and there are a few different techniques for using .ZIP files maliciously. There is a lot more potential for conflicts between .ZIP files and the .zip TLD on the Internet.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
The “.zip” TLD isn’t itself a security risk, but it should never have been created in the first place due to the overlap with .zip files.
Understanding the context of why the .zip TLD is a bad idea, you should be questioning the general competence of a web admin that would intentionally purchase and operate a .zip website. It’s such an obvious and avoidable problem that you have to wonder what other obvious problems they are failing to avoid.

- Comment on Microsoft's latest Windows 11 24H2 update breaks SSDs/HDDs, may corrupt data 3 weeks ago:
Well yeah, like the article I linked says:
It has now been nearly eight years since the “experimental” tag was removed, but many of btrfs’ age-old problems remain unaddressed and effectively unchanged. So, we’ll repeat this once more: as a single-disk filesystem, btrfs has been stable and for the most part performant for years. But the deeper you get into the new features btrfs offers, the shakier the ground you walk on—that’s what we’re focusing on today.
So if you’re just using it for your PC hard drive you’re probably fine. The problem is that BTRFS is intended to provide similar features to RAID and ZFS, but that’s where it starts failing.
