Re:Quad9 (DNS Resolver) to Exit France on Thursday October 22, 2026 @04:49PM (#50200827)
Better than geoip, y'all could work with the French to have French networks point to a black hole server by having BGP point 9.9.9.9 at said server.
Makes sense but monitoring doesn't mean you have to have remote control of power.
Why the fuck are those fridges even networked!?

For insurance, USAA has god tier support. I've never had to wait more than a minute to get a US based rep that knows what they're doing.

Edit: That minute includes going through the "Press X for Y services" menu.

Doh, thinking about it through that lens makes it obvious!

Should we be marking key infrastructure, utilities don't distribute this information for a reason.

Re:Bark beetles are eating through Germany’s Harz forest on Friday August 04, 2023 @12:32PM (#37002282)
Just because we messed it up in the past doesn't mean we didn't learn from it and can't adapt our strategies in the future as new data comes in.

Changing nothing is the most harmful strategy right now.

This really pissed me off. Half of the trees in RMNP were/are dead standing since the Park Service had put out all natural fires for a century and did not allow logging of the dead wood. We hit the point where the fuel situation is so bad that fires are no longer controllable, and the fires burn so much hotter that it permanently scars the land by burning seeds that usually would make it through just fine.

It would be interesting to see some stats on what you guys are see performance wise, how much storage the project takes up, and what framework you are using. Honestly you guys have a lot of head room for speed improvements.

Btw the server implementation I could find was archived?

Looks like a lot of it can be attributed to covid.

Cloudflare's R2 (S3 Competitor) has no egress fees.
Re:Git archive checksums may change on Monday January 30, 2023 @05:16PM (#34587255)
Using SHA hashes when building guarantees that the code that you are building is what you think it is. How else would you verify dependencies like this, GPG signatures would have the same issue if you change the underlying bits.

They have broken almost every open source project that builds external deps. Also broke homebrew apparently.
