Police forces are the the primary Ideological State Apparatus of Repression. They do not exist to protect the public from crime, they exist to protect the property rights of the owners of the means of production. Keeping the proles in a state of fear is them just doing their job.
Containers are very lightweight. I have no desire to build anything so I always just add another service container to my existing stacks.
nope. It should be regulated by each state. The federal government should just back off.
And while we don’t have the data it is very reasonable to assume that if we did have data going back 150 years the results would be stunningly worse.
Yeah is type 1. But it pools supports network storage and is free, and I know how to use it.
A fine is a business expense to a organization like Sony.
Which is basically an accounting issue. We could produce all the stuff we need with a smaller workforce, but that would squeeze a lot of profit out of the production system. Simply put billionaires would suffer. Without an ever increasing consumer population there is the horror of degrowth.
I run HA as a container in a vm. I back HA data up nightly and the compose script for running HA is archived on github. If the vm dies there is another vm that can bring it back up. If the host dies (I have a pool of xenserver (xcp-ng) hosts, so it would be a major domestic disaster if they all croaked) I have a fallback to run HA on docker on wsl. If the house burns down all the scripts are on GitHub and the backups get sent to Azure monthly. I think I’m covered.
As far as the PRC is concerned Taiwan has always been part of the PRC. That was the point. The Taiwan policy of the PRC hasn’t changed.
The PRC has always maintained that Taiwan is part of China and will be eventually incorporated back into PRC. (The ROC had the same position, but with respect to the mainland until 1991.) Taiwan was in fact part of China from 1683 until the Japanese started their imperial colonization of China and Korea, taking Taiwan in 1895. It would be news and a really big deal if the PRC stopped making that claim.
By equitable I meant ‘equitable for everyone’ not equitable for only the people of the core of the empire.
A degrowth society has to be an equitable society. Otherwise your criticism is entirely valid.
We are going to have a degrowth system regardless of any policy decisions, as the current growth system is burning through critical resources and destroying the environment. We can either plan for this, or we can have an unplanned existential civilizational crisis.
The reason our corporate overlords went to open office plans is that they are much less expensive than actual offices. All the other reasons were bullshit to justify enshittification.
The 5G bullshit started because Huawei was ahead of everyone else in 5G tech. First the Obama administration, then Trump, then Biden all attempted to cripple Huawei’s ability to produce 5g commodities in order to protect the development of domestic production.
What is remarkable is how quickly the US discarded the ‘free trade’ pillar of its neoliberal ideology as a competitive threat to a critical technology emerged. The actual ideological principal is hegemony, not ‘free trade’.
Add in alertmanager and hook it to slack. Get notified whenever containers or systems are misbehaving.
Just think of all the flood barriers we will have to build!
the house is on fire. we don’t f’ing care. By ‘we’ I mean the oligarchs and their sycophants.
For example, a business routinely dumps its toxic waste into a watershed, polluting that watershed and imposing huge costs on all the other users of the watershed that require non-toxic water. As this lowers the ‘market price’ for the goods produced by the business, the incentive is to always do this rather than pay the cost of safely processing the toxic waste. See for example the massive PFA problems. Here: https://www.usgs.gov/news/national-news-release/tap-water-study-detects-pfas-forever-chemicals-across-us
Allowing fossil fuels to not pay their use costs is artificially decreasing the cost.
There are a lot of misunderstandings about what happened. First, the ‘update’ was to a data file used by the crowdstrike kernel components (specifically ‘falcon’.) while this file has a ‘.sys’ name, it is not a driver, it provides threat definition data. It is read by the falcon driver(s), not loaded as an executable.
Microsoft doesn’t update this file, crowdstrike user mode services do that, and they do that very frequently as part of their real-time threat detection and mitigation.
The updates are essential. There is no opportunity for IT to manage or test these updates other than blocking them via external firewalls.
The falcon kernel components apparently do not protect against a corrupted data file, or the corruption in this case evaded that protection. This is such an obvious vulnerability that i am leaning toward a deliberate manipulation of the data file to exploit a discovered vulnerability in their handling of a malformed data file. I have no evidence for that other than resilience against malformed data input is very basic software engineering and crowdstrike is a very sophisticated system.
I’m more interested in how the file got corrupted before distribution.
