What’s the general plan of action when a company’s base region shits the bed?

Keep dormant mirrored resources in other regions?

I presumed the draw of us-east-1 was its lower cost, so if any solutions involve spending slightly more money, I’m not surprised high profile companies put all their eggs in one basket.

I didn’t mean to imply that smaller companies should have free reign oops

Or are you saying that those hosters are generally less predatory?

I’m shit at language, I’m shit at my job, I legit don’t know

I’ve been on an AWS project for about a month now

And, my god, there is so much to be infuriated by.

My first revelation was that there is no payment killswitch. E.g. if I spend more than X dollars, stop all my services and don’t charge me anymore. Nope sorry can’t do that

You can set “Budget alerts” but holy fuck, the emails do not arrive anywhere near reasonably on time

$0.40 per secret stored, billed monthly. Imagine the keys for every lock in your apartment showing up as charges on your rent invoice.

With every managed service, it feels like the setup menus are just a game of minesweeper, where if you don’t know any better, you might accidentally cost your organization $500 per hour and not know until the next day when the cost dashboard updates.

Maybe it’s just because I’m new to it, but apparently, this kind of shit is rampant among most cloud providers.

Biggest companies in the world still need to pickpocket their customers and that’s somehow okay

Lets say they don’t use private data for training

(Continue reading when you’re done laughing):

Eventually, victims eventually run out of “free” storage.

The humble corporation will do a bunch of psychologically unethical tricks to basically hypnotize users into forking over those three digits at the back of the family credit card.

Now the victim’s data is effectively held ransom. Keep paying or lose it.

But they won’t stop paying. They paid for a year’s plan at a discount and the peaceful megacorp conveniently hit autorenew for them at checkout.

12 months roll around and oopsie, they already have the money. They could go through the refund process, but they’ve got shit on their plate, might as well keep it for another year.

I could keep rambling, but on Lemmy, I’m probably preaching to the choir about the first verse of genesis.

Then Windows tried to push their cloud backup on me… twice

This is major boundary respect by Microsoft’s standards

The stories from Abu Ghraib alone make my skin crawl.

That was 20 years ago. I can only imagine it’s a lot worse for people detained by ICE right now.

/* I'm new to this language so just imagine there is a new line here when it prints: */

I stole this from the other thread

A kernel, in computing terms, is the computer program that sits between applications and the hardware, facilitating their interactions.

This is the GNU/Linux operating system’s kernel (the part that is technically Linux) showing its architecture.

The columns represent the areas of functionality the kernel offers, the rows (from top to bottom) representing the level of abstraction from the hardware.

From the top; user space, where users barely have to think about the hardware enabling their applications. To the bottom; the hardware itself and the interfaces that enable the kernel to talk to them.

The lines represent the relationships between the various Linux kernel functions and structures - the text - that interact with one another directly.

The diagram is interactive in the sense that you can click the functions/structures and be taken to relevant resources to help a Linux kernel developer navigate the humongous amount of code that comprises the kernel, to accelerate debugging etc.

This diagram has been continuously developed for well over 15 years at this point and is somewhat iconic in the Linux world as it makes tangible the kernel and its thousands upon thousands of lines of code which I doubt any one developer has or could read and comprehend as a whole without the use of tools like this map.

Do you think he wanted to do this last time but ousted everyone who told him that’s fucking psychotically stupid?

The only ads I get are from temu vaguely aligned with my interests

I do not sell drugs, I’m on the other side of that market

flute kinda looks like a fancy penjamin

I like using shotguns in videogames sometimes. I’ve only seen a real one a handful of times.

Is anyone sleeping easy?

I think I’ve burnt through my body’s weight in indica in the last 6 months alone trying to doze off

The film, directed by Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham and Palestinian journalist Basel Adra,

Canadian Rabbi who hit every emoji on his phone keyboard out of boredom while waiting for an uber has branded as antisemitic by the German Government, the IDF, The ADL and US Congress for including the Palestinian flag

A lot of people have trouble getting motivated.

Your comment made me chuckle a little bit.

I ask myself that same question every day. What’s the point of anything? Do I really need to get out of bed, get to work, eat food, climb out of the debt trap I’m in or even browse Lemmy?

Something like this could help ease that daily question from myself. If it doesn’t work, it’s fine. Worth a shot. Free is cheaper than recreational drugs.

Very cool

Yep. They’ve been around for years.

Normally you would just give them your card info like any other online pay site like PayPal etc. but I don’t know why they suddenly decided to give everyone at the company a deluxe lobotomy

I saw this shit yesterday when I was trying to buy a weed cart online (still not sure if it’s legal or not. I still hear stories of those moron cops arresting people for “drug possession” i.e. didn’t pay a bribe)

Noped out and just gave the clearnet grey market drug website virtual card info that’s gonna expire in a few hours anyway

he brainwashed so many people

glad he’s neck deep in shit at the moment

but every time I see a headline with his name that doesn’t include some variation of “passes away at age”, my blood pressure rises a little bit.

When I see �, I just assume the user or another dev is using a non-standard keyboard, or my fonts aren’t up to date

When I see this shit, I lose all blood flow to the brain and then just collapse
