Nike is the Greek goddess of victory.

I often daydream about what a magical "life scoreboard" would have on it, some universe-aware program counting arbitrary things. I'd love for such a scoreboard to display "percentage of Nike shoe owners that know Nike is the Greek goddess of victory."

I would guess under 10%, and only that high because Nike sells shoes in Greece and Italy.

skaffold. It'll also wait for rollout to stabilize.

The problem is that running programs isn't always trivial.

I have no interest in going back to the hell that is deploying a java app.

You're going to have to write some sort of config. It not being opinionated it a good thing. It lets you deploy just about anything under the sun.

Well... we have k8s for that... I do not wish to take k8s away from those who like it, I am asking for a new solution that's very opinionated, and as close to zero config as practical.

AI is especially good at writing IaC. Most small projects I let it write a Dockerfile too.

Slightly off-topic, but Backblaze B2 has usage caps that actually work. I have $0 cap on API requests, and yesterday when litestream burned through the free tier (defaults to replicating every second), I got a notice and requests stopped working until I upped my cap.

Buy a modern monitor or just run your display at a low res and disable antialiasing? Phones are now 500 PPI+, theres no real excuse for using a low DPI screen.

Income and effective cost of things like desktop monitors vary wildly across the world, that argument doesn't really fly.

I vehemently disagree. Recently bought a pretty good and affordable 21:9 Chinese monitor, and I couldn't be happier with it. A good monitor is a basic QOL improvement for IT professionals, and these days they're still cheap because they aren't affected by the recent HDD, GPU, or RAM scarcity.

For reference, I live in Mexico, and bought the monitor with less than two week's worth of groceries. Recognized brands would cost four or five times more, but there are options for every budget.

Screens are still stuck at <150 ppi, unless you go for an 8k screen.

It can power even more security issues too. This is absolutely horrendous.

I’m wondering how this can be exploited.

They implemented it in a way that it only responds with a valid image and a 200 status code, when the referrer is adobe.com. It's probably somewhat sane given the insanity that is the host files hack.

Agreed, at worst this is just vaguely icky feeling; realistically this is a nothing burger.

To exploit this kind of thing you'd either need to have access to someone's computer to change the hosts file yourself, pointing to a different IP address, or somehow gain control of Adobe's IP address and point it to a different server. For the former, if you have local root permission, you already own the machine, why bother with this slow of an option. And the latter is already such a takeover that the involvement of this hosts file change is basically irrelevant.

Probably, but it'd be pretty trivial to add some weight to the door.

I'd like to see some focus on cheap thermal storage as PV is terribly inefficient for heating. Especially in the winter months.
