@buffer I can read drafts, but I can't save them. I'm assuming the DB is in read-only for some kind of maintenance or service protection?

This fine is the equivelent value of couch change. They should have revoked the business license and auctioned off the assets. We'd all see what theyre really worth.

This should be applied to all the wackos in the news. Stop celebrating idiots or trying to polish their image for them.

Database capacity limits reached Cache limits reached CPU/Memory limits reached Failed cron job 😂😂😂😂😂 Passwords expire for engineers who were fired but then rehired and never reset - also nobody around to reset a password Contract renewals lapsing for critical srvcs😂
8G Raspberry Pi's are 200$ now?! I might as well buy a @seeedstudio Odyssey
Git 2.38 added a `git rebase --update-refs` argument that automatically moves branches associated with rewritten non-head commits. You can now stack multiple branches in the same commit series and rebase without losing your mind. Big UX win!

Apple has confirmed that it will abandon Lightning in the future and switch the iPhone to USB Type-C to meet European standards. The law on the transfer of all electronic devices sold in the EU to a single standard for USB Type-C chargers was adopted in early October 2022.

Quiet quitting is what literally everyone does while looking for a new job.
I dont run packetbeat on prod systems, but its a fantastic auditing tool when you need to know whats going where without onerous pcaps.

nslookup uses an internal DNS engine so it doesn't get seen by Win32 DNS API. PacketBeat can be used to dissect raw DNS traffic on the client adapter. That's the only way, outside blocking port 53 outbound from usermode apps. Which might be interesting...

I may be a stick in the mud when I say this, but there's a reason I still prefer VPN for critical services. Exposing them to the internet is like dropping your pants in public and waiting for someone to notice. theregister.com/2022/06/03/a…

I'd like to consider myself fairly smart, but I gotta tell you. My financial education was nearly non existent in school. I couldn't tell you how to invest in commodities.

Watching this market downturn it really seems like the markets are heavily weighted to vaporware. What wasn't mentioned in that list above is real estate. Real estate is through the roof. Imagine having the financial knowledge to know enough to diversify in to real estate..
