From the incident report it seems the impact was limited to VMs in one DC in one region to be stopped, as the power was lost. And some service degradation in the region.
So not that much impact. Of course resources in this DC would stop working, but the rest of the region was still working properly. If you built your infra in this region in a resilient manner, your services should not have been impacted that much
Funnily enough, the steam deck has been used during the conflict to control remote weapons. So they could be implicated in this if you go far enough
Wow, I didn’t know that being a Linux/open source contributor meant you don’t have to follow your country’s laws.
It’s developed internationally but devs still reside somewhere and have to abide by the rules at that place. Linux in this case being represented by an US entity means they have to follow the gov’s sanctions. If you want more or less of those, that’s where (the government) you act.
Not really. See the support page regarding this:
As a new default, your phone number will no longer be visible to everyone in Signal. You can opt to display your phone number. However, people who have your number saved in their phone’s contacts will still see your phone number, regardless of your settings, since they already know it.
They know my phone number. Which in Europe is tied to me. They absolutely hold info about who talks to who
Wait, someone edited this just to remove some hamster balls ? Weird
I get what you mean. GitHub and friends have pushed that back to a more centralized approach. However I think that it’s not too bad actually. Most projects tend to be centralized too
I mean, it’s decentralized alright, but it doesn’t mean it’s HA or automatically replicated. You can just use a different origin server and push/pull from it instead.
It’s a game of cat and mouse. I’d be willing if I needed to use win11 myself but for my parents it’s either gonna be Linux or a new computer
Yeah I work in tech and I’m the only one that cares enough to use Firefox. All my colleagues use chrome or chrome with makeup.
Maybe ad blocking will be what broke the camel’s back, but I doubt more than a few will care enough to switch.
??? You’re just baiting now lol
Yeah it has its place. Just not in a Linux community. Is that hard to understand?
Except my layout (bepo) is not in any specific locale and was installed manually. So I don’t think this would work
This is a Linux community. Not sure what you imagine most people here think of windows…
You can’t delete the default one it thinks you will use based on your locale, and it reverts to the default on boot. Also has the worst shortcut to silently change the layout (contol+shift)
Personally on Mac I never had to change my layout again, and if I had to it’s just an icon to click and it stays that way. On windows however, like you said, it’s a nightmare
I absolutely hate that there are 3 ways to change my keyboard layouts. I very often hit control shift and since it’s hidden that the layout was changed I wonder why the last sentence I wrote is gibberish…
I hate the concept because it’s just really wasteful of energy. If I recall correctly, only 30% of the power output of the charger goes into the device, versus 95+% for wired.
I love that you started with the insults mdr
