They also claimed to have “quantum” phased radar. Until we see it in Janes or other OSINT it isn’t credible.

It was rhetorical.

Unfortunately the problem lies with the foundation. The one thing they made worth a damn in the past decade was Rust, and they promptly fired the whole Rust team. Servo is maintained by the Linux foundation now ffs. What does the foundation do besides zombie walk and eat Googles money?

Wasn’t it also Aristotle who said something along the lines of “all men start as women and have convinced themselves they are men” or something to that effect? Not sure what the original intent behind the statement was.

When they’re done with you they don’t just destroy your life, but your legacy too. To serve as a warning to anyone else thinking of betraying them. That’s tradecraft.

vanderbilt , 5 months ago to Linux in RHEL's Source Code Access Change Is Causing Issues For CentOS SIGs

I said something similar once before when they first announce me their decision to kneecap themselves, but it’s worth saying again:

They gained nothing from this decision. We used CentOS to trial deployments to prod servers running RHEL. We like how stable RHEL was. We appreciated the service agreements. We especially like how CentOS freed us from worrying about licensing. Their boneheaded decision ruined all of that. Before I left we had plans to migrate off RHEL (I asked an old coworker they actively are) because we can’t trust IBM not to Oracle us with some other world-ending BS in six months. Hundreds of RHEL servers and licenses gone, for what? They lost control of the open-source narrative when they shotgunned CentOS, and now the community initiative is led by people who don’t like them. Do yourself a favor and make it a priority to achieve Linux platform independence before RedHat is further Borgified by Big Blue.

Funny how the EU council considers iOS to be a big problem but not Microsoft’s behavior around Edge. Both need to be corrected, but only one has seen any action - and it ain’t Microsoft.

vanderbilt , 5 months ago to Technology in ‘Significant security loophole’ found in Google software container system

Over the past five years infosec has turned into a shitshow of showboating. Every exploit has to have a logo and catchy name. Attacks are widely hyped up despite the conditions for usage being extremely difficult or outright stupid. If you are assigning blanket permissions to a group that shouldn’t have it that is your fault. Obstructing stupidity is not in the scope of the container engine.

Free themes are available on their gohugo repo and there a plenty of paid ones. I enjoy the live reloading and ability to change it all easily with text files.

I used to use Ghost. Mostly on Hugo these days.

Good job on them cratering their value before that launch.

Absolutely, however playing catchup in the semiconductor space is far easier said than done. Even intel gave up and started using TSMC to lay their newer nodes. So long as TSMC maintains its R&D lead they have that trump card.

I think you’re onto something there though. There has been a push in the US to onshore chip manufacturing and the situation with Taiwan is a huge motivator.

I am at this point fully convinced it will never come out, and if it does, it will be a hollow shell of what people want it to be.

So long as they are comfortable with me never buying them.
