Yeah that looks like hardware damage, not disk corruption.

Looks like the silent majority disagrees with you… Stop convincing yourself of things that aren’t true.

Hey, looks like you forgot to post them so we’ll ignore your comment for now until you do!

No. People who want the benefit of self housing without worrying about hardware will rent a vps or something simpler. The hard part of hardware isn’t the purchase, it’s the maintenance.

Also, why the separate router?

Funnily enough, the reason they switched to those was to use the data to train machine learning (AI) models, just like Google’s recaptcha was originally pictures of words from old, scanned books so they could transcribe all of them “for free” and train their transcription algorithms.

Bullshit DMCA abuse

Have you passed their captive portal before turning on the VPN?

That sounds like a fig leaf for Google to hide very anti-competitive behavior…

You know what, you’re right, I may be too cynical.

Given the fuckups around definitive editions and the fact that there’s already so many great, free, open source Doom engines and content, this feels like a money grab and a step backwards.

Wonder why they wouldn’t use OSM.

In practice, CrowdStrike very likely tests Falcon on various hardware as parts of their tests before shipping updates on it, as it’s used by a huge amount of enterprises; and a fuckup like that would mess the trust they’ve built with those enterprises. Enterprises are trusting them to run ring 0 code on their computer, so they can have a malware-less experience after all.

I mean, it must be very difficult to checks notes host a static document in a scalable way.

But still, if only they had an asynchronous, distributed way of publishing this information. Like old school letters, only digital. That would help them decrease the load on their infrastructure…

It’s alright. I use both their desktop backup service and B2 extensively. Their desktop client and web interface is very basic and a bit rough, you don’t buy their service for the well-developed UI. The service works as advertised though.

The headache comes up when multiple third party repositories start conflicting with each other

Which is traditionally why you needed the distro to package your software…

It’s absolutely fine, it was mildly annoying the first two times and now in glad I don’t have to hold the cap while drinking.

So you’re always behind, patching up small bits of code that don’t comply with your guidelines, while letting big changes with, by deduction, worse code quality through?

Depends on why you want to hide your server ip, what’s your use case? Is it to protect against DDOS?

Cloudflare is evil, but is there any other party you would trust to share everything with?

That’s not true. The way their streaming works is basically a Playlist of shorter fragments. They can easily insert their own fragments without obvious visual tells if they don’t alter other elements of the page to indicate that an ad is playing.

I have an axe to grind with fakespot. My wife has a tiny business and is one of the most honest and sweet people I know. She would never pay for fake reviews and she wouldn’t even have the knowledge on how to do so. Someone (not even us, mind you) posted a link to her product on Reddit and a Fakespot robot instantly called her out for supposedly having suspicious reviews, even though each and every order (and thus each and every review resulting from that) was legit. Her product was then mocked and all it did was give my wife stress.

So yeah, take them with a grain of salt. They are probably pretty good on average but some innocent people get caught in it as collateral damage.
