Fascinating documentary on Kubernetes for those who have 50 minutes. Gives more background to the "Container Wars". The filmmakers also have documentaries on the history of Python,…

I finished calculating my taxes for 2024. Roughly speaking 20k more than I had already paid was on the line. It looks like the amount I prepaid in 2024 will cover it though. That b…

In general, the rates of incest are significantly underestimated. I have seen this anecdotally with the individuals myself and friends have dated, along with volunteering for somet…

Certifications would help distinguish you. It can be hard to evaluate the worthiness of foreign educational institutions, but certs, such as those for AWS and GCP can be great. The…

You Don't Know JS by Kyle Simpson. The PDFs are one of the most starred repos on GitHub: https://github.com/getify/You-Dont-Know-JS Also more to your question, "The Browser Hacker'…

Similar incident happened in 2005 in another part of the Pacific. The Captain, whose conduct was mostly well regarded both before and after the incident, ultimately lost his job. h…

Just use hosts.allow for select IP addresses while banning all else via hosts.deny. This is a very low level blocking solution that is native to Linux, very simple, and very secure…

The answer seems to be no based on the Google SEO podcast: https://developers.google.com/search/podcasts/search-off-the...

I apologize in advance, but former US Army member with some gripes (well meaning though) against this group: The ARL has been in somewhat significant trouble in Austin, Texas. Ther…

This article calls Norway "neutral" during the war. That is a very generous analysis of the situation. None of the Scandinavian countries have really come to terms with the amount …

1979 was also the year Rhodesia ceased to exist as a country. A decade before that, to the west in Namibia, Peter Thiel would attend boarding school while his father supervised the…

Very realistic. Get involved in setting up data engineering pipelines. Apache AirFlow (Composer), BigQuery, Vertex AI, PySpark, Pandas, etc. Huge demand for these engineers now, mo…

Hard to imagine running a giant "Beowulf" cluster like this could produce results. Software programs are metastable ("Mythical Man Month" concept), meaning they constantly require …

At the local level, despite Beijing's efforts, there is just very little incentive to report the actual numbers. This adds up, and has a feedback loop as provinces compete to have …

This blog post seems like an intel play designed to whip up anger and passion among the populace on all sides. It reminds me very much of "The Stanford Review", founded by Peter Th…

Kevin Ham is a name I haven't heard in a while. It is my opinion, after talking to law enforcement, people in Washington DC, and being brought in for various cyberinvestigations th…

The reverse DNS of the IP address mentioned is: h-68-164-57-219.lsan.ca.dynamic.globalcapacity.com according to SecurityTrails. The article also gives the following information: - …

Nicole Perlroth's book on the cyberweapons arms race was somewhat of a bizarre read. I'm not sure if it was poor research or a significant bias for/against Israel, but Israel the c…

Less than 500 lines was a metric I heard once. As I recall it was from an O'Reilly blog interviewing someone, and the interviewer had to practically drag that definition out of the…

What you describe is part of the AWS "Well Architected Framework". Static files should, as much as possible, be hosted on S3. This takes the pressure off the web/app server, is che…

If am I reading this correctly, it seems one of the patchers was named "James Bond"? This reminds me of the 1992 candidate for the Vice Presidency. He spent 7 years in a POW camp i…

What [redacted] is saying, while containing a bit too many Winnie the Pooh pictures, is technically accurate. [redacted] has many connections, mainly through her family, with Chine…

Google Domains has had, from time to time, many odd complaints made against it. Thankfully, Google Cloud Platform DNS has started to roll out, and I believe both management AND reg…

An interesting fact is that JavaScript really has nothing to do with Java. They paid Sun $5 million to license the word "Java", because it was an extremely popular language at the …

It bothers me that people are not more suspicious of things like this. Setting up a mesh internet grid is not a trivial engineering task. You would need to recruit at least several…
