Re:Quad9 (DNS Resolver) to Exit France on Thursday October 22, 2026 @10:24PM (#50203788)
Spain's government is made up of spineless dinosaurs. So the official soccer diffusion corps bought the courts and sued all the ISPs to force them to block all the soccer piracy sites during a match. Those sometimes ended up being hosted on cloudflare's IPs. Thus, a good portion of cloudflare goes down for the spanish clients when there's a game on.

Did that work? Hell no, piracy sites just moved elsewhere. But big soccer is slowly ruining the internet and all the EU governments are letting it happen

That's definitely super-enthousiast territory. Paying 80 bucks a month for AI is more than 99.99% of people would be willing to do

In this specific case, the oop nature of powershell doesn't actually matter, just the fact it uses structured input instead of raw string.

It's like passing a struct to a function instead of a badly serialized representation of a value

That's an interesting viewpoint, but one I've noticed is less prevalent in other languages.

The c# guys at microsoft created an enormous stdlib, and the overwhelming majority of it is pretty good. The outliers being of course older stuff they've never really had time to upgrade. And they don't seem to be afraid to deprecate stuff, every major version brings a couple of minor breaking changes. But it all seems to work out just fine somehow
