Yeah. Like JavaScript, SMTP and the web itself, lemmy will just go away.

in tact

Did you mean ‘intact’? As a statement on tact this sentence has a really different meaning.

Spending two decades of your prime on that sounds insane.

Just until your pre-frontal grows and you can make better decisions. That’s not until - reads notes - 32, apparently, based on new research published very recently. So yeah, that seems to be 2 decades for some.

We have American border police at our airports, and they are able to act as if they’re on home turf and not our fucking land – including arresting us to take to America. I have a thought as to whom we can expel from here, obviously!

I think for about 2 weeks Voat had potential. Then the Nazis moved in and it was doomed.

This sounds like a reeeeeally bad company doing shit work. Toronto? Which (pub)cloud is Canadian, anyway?

The five-assed monkey of cert lifetimes.

As useless measures go this will certainly be one; especially while CRLs are a thing.

Ha ha ha.

I love how lennart’s cancer tries to replicate fucking syslog and it’s this bad. What a mess the kids worship.

Every part of what you just said can be encapsulated in proper packaging so you don’t even need to care – about pre/post upgrades, or even dependencies and checks before it starts.

The lack of a proper release is the absolute only thing keeping me from using it.

Bill Gates spent a lot of his pro years running a bad company quite well, and exploiting a dominant position in the market that any soulless biz guy would love to have.

He seemed to get a conscience around the time he stopped running the show, and seems to be different while not regretting his behavior in that phase.

I think we can decide he was a bit of a cock back then, while still noting he’s done some good work since. We are nuanced enough, right?

The installation workflow begs for supply-chain exploits. Given this and its oob install, it probably breaks iso27002 as well.

I’ll wait. NextCloud and OwnCloud both have 27002-compliant installs (the latter needs some review), so I need to stick with those.

The same can happen for maven, crates, gomods, and other.

Yes.

The problem is [intricate dependencies]

Nah. Dependencies are fine. The method of bringing those in and validating them is where the supply-chain risk accumulates. We knew better when we still had mentors.

Only a risk to those using npm; doesn’t matter where they exercise those bad dev procedures. Don’t quit using GitHub if you’re already okay with all the other issues it has.

Still container-dependent?

Sometimes, an app can be an app and not some hosted web service mess.

Better to invent a new word where the word parts don’t explain it and so they have to explain it every fucking time like that girl whose name is only and forever “Megan with two Rs”.

pro-transits

How pluralizing an uncountable/mass noun implies pros are transiting.

If the anti-cheat is client-side, that’s a solved problem, thanks to avoidance.

Remind me of the recent source ownership issue? I thought there was a “thanks for all the community work over a decade and we want to participate; oops now we own it” story.

This.

You install a virus scanner on your smb fileshare or your mail server, for instance, and pipe attachments through it to protect windows boxes. That’s the only sensible use.

Yet, idiots make policies like “all servers must have AV installed for safety” and thus some shit app sucks down all the CPU time and scans memory (ohai PCI compliance) just because the CTO doesn’t know what ‘less’ does.
