What are the marginal gains in business for them from the likely improvement of the runtime? It's not like the web (or: web-technology-based apps) don't capture a lot of time already.

> make Trump look tough.

But only to his loyalists.


Exactly. Delivering freedom to Venezuela will get the splintering aspects of his tribe focused on the message and away from Epstein.

The people he needs at home are pretty simple. This type of thing makes it easier for his loyal propagandists to do their thing.


I thought his loyalists were expressly against protecting foreigners from oppression, e.g. Ukraine? America first etc.

This will be a real challenge, then. Who is performatively nimble enough to say “we’ve always been at war with Venezuela!”

I think the narrative is that South America is America.

Remember in his first term how he had his loyalists, many of who were expressly in "support" of the 2nd amendment, cheering on the government jackboots who came in the middle of the night to make "cold dead hands" ? The cultists will believe anything. That's the fundamental problem with cults.

To my internal net: nothing. All my internal addresses stay the same. All my firewall settings remain the same. Just to the outside world I come from elsewhere (which is good for my privacy, not sufficient obviously, though)

However if my IPv6 prefix changes all my IP based access control, which is a layer I use to limit what Internet of Shit devices can do, breaks. I could go to fe80 addresses for my local network, but those won't work across different network segments.


You should use unique local addresses (ULAs, fc00::/7) not link-local addresses (fe80::/10) for this. Choose a random prefix and advertise it in your network (you can use some website like https://www.unique-local-ipv6.com if you want).

This prevents clashing subnets when using VPN like it sometimes happens with IPv4.


No, Comic sans is too woke.

In seriousness: Comic Sans seems to be a good font for dyslexic people and helps them read.

Not sure why you are getting downvoted. Dropping Calibri was done precisely because it was associated with a reason like this, so you're entirely right.

Besides monetization there are other factors for not open sourcing.

* fear of being critizied for bad code

* not wanting to deal with contributions

* license compliance (maybe using something commercial, maybe trying to hide bad license usage)

* trying to keep control

* missing understanding of open source in general

* ...


So what is the idea with something then? Build software and...?

For a fun project it certainly is a fun idea.

In real life, I guess there are people who don't monitor at all. For them failing requests would go unnoticed ... for the others monitoring must be easy.

But I think the core thing might be to make monitoring SSL lifetime the "obvious" default: All the grafana dashboards etc should have such an entry.

Then as soon as I setup a monitoring stack I get that reminder as well.


It is, but in IT context the association was strong, while Unixes decline and most of the systems with derived naming are historic. But anybody with a background in sysadmin for more than 10 years probably would still have the association. In ten years Linux will probably the only one remaining with the ux-naming (and MacOS X with the single X, which also serves as ten, following MacOS 9)

> The only variable is how long after acquisition before they gut it.

Considering that the lifetime of our sun system is finite that statement is undeniably true.

Also we don't know how a non-Microsoft GitHub could have developed.


> I don't know a process for becoming the one with the largest userbase.

Easy: Be at the right spot in the right time and be lucky to be noticed.

WhatsApp had one smart idea: tying accounts to phone number, which solved detectability, while SMS where expensive in many regions. When ICQ/AIM still missed the mobile market and before Apple made iMessage.

Easy to replicate, as we can see with Facebook messenger or Google's different attempts, who invested quite a few resources into that.
