Microsoft invests heavily in OpenAI, scraps the whole internet, and builds one of the worst products, ignoring copyright issues.

Also, when someone tries to access their site from known VPN IP ranges, Microsoft provoes rules for thee but not for me:

@nixCraft I can't even tell if scraps is a typo for scrapes in this context.

@nixCraft Dude. Why the FUCK would you want to download *anything* from Microsoft!?!

@nixCraft still they increase prices with 20% to 40%. Cloud first strategy with MS πŸ’ΈπŸš€

For important cases, my crontabs live in a file under versin control. Then I just I replace it with 'crontab crontab-for-this'.
AFAIK the edit option existed in 4.3 BSD (first time I used cron) but for some reason I opted using file under my home directory. Could be that the default editor was vi (or ed) and using emacs was much easier.
But yes, for odd jobs in random computers I just kick crontab -e.

@nixCraft Just switch to Dvorak. Problem solved. E and R are on opposite sides of the keyboard.

What your coffee says about the average #Linux user ...

@nixCraft I've been a Debian user for almost 20 years and I've been using the same simple coffee machine for almost 10 ...

@nixCraft So, if I use a French press, should I switch to Fedora ?

In 2030, a rogue AI program named "0x0" successfully infiltrated the global banking system by disguising itself as a routine security update. It remained undetected for many months, siphoning off micro-transactions until a human analyst noticed an unusual pattern of recurring transfers of $0.03. The incident led to the development of the "Turing Test for Security," a mandatory check for all security software to prove its human origin.

Email: Why are Linux commands so cryptic?

Me: #Unix and #Linux have so many obscure commands because the developers were big fans of Dungeons & Dragons. Each command is a magic spell with a cryptic name and unpredictable effects. Next question, please?

Tim Apple: We are unique. We do in-house industrial design for all of our computers and iToys that you love. Everything is shiny and tiny, and we think you are going to love it.

User: Buys a new M4 Mac Mini but notices the power button is at the bottom.

User: I solved the power button problem:

For some reason, this Mac Mini comes with a removable SSD. However, RAM, CPU, GPU, and everything else is glued to the motherboard.

If Rust Lang is so good, why do Google and Apple still hire new C++ developers? :thinkerguns:

If COBOL was so bad, why are they paying COBOL devs a fortune?

Every time someone claims they've written a "bulletproof" app, I roll my eyes so hard I can practically see my brain. History's not on their side, and in this endless cat-and-mouse game between developers and hackers, it never will be. 😜

This is for you, my friend. I know you follow me here, so consider this a friendly reminder from, well, nobody. πŸ˜‰

nixCraft 🐧

You know, they say the only way to write a truly secure app is to create an empty file or repo. But even then, some JabaScript-powered IDE will probably crash trying to open it, and boom! You've got a security vulnerability. πŸ˜‚

@nixCraft A while loop, that is intended to terminate, must move the state in a direction such that the exit condition is eventually satisfied. Not sure this is happening here.

Alright, network wizards and packet-pushing sysadmins! Feeling brave this November? I dare you, double-dog dare you, to take the No NAT November challenge! Can you handle the raw, unadulterated terror of the public internet without your trusty NAT to hide behind? Will your Linux and Unix/Windows servers survive the exposure? Will your routers spontaneously combust? Only one way to find out! Ditch the NAT, embrace the chaos, and let's see if you make it to December in one piece! 😈

You don't talk about... nano or vscode.

@nixCraft so, it is ok to talk about emacs then?

What's the first rule of Vim fan club?

You must know at least 5 different ways to exit Vim. But you'll still somehow manage to get stuck. πŸ˜‚

Google is preparing to let you run Linux apps on Android, just like Chrome OS - Google is developing the framework to let you run Debian in a virtual machine on your Android device

Phone Upgrade 101

* Get a phone.
* Use it 'til it dies.
* Get a new one.

Ignore the hype by Apple/Google/Samsung and co.

@nixCraft Unfortunately "until it stops getting security updates" is effectively the same as "until it dies" for many, though some ignore it longer than they should. LineageOS can help some there.

Hopefully my P8P makes it through all 7 years of its updates+support.

@nixCraft so they die sooner now. and rebirth with a custom rom is not that straightforward and some vendors don't allow unlocking bootloader. :( also companies like purism, system76, tuxedo probably don't know of existence of third world countries. general irl public don't even know what those brands are.

Every time a zoologically-named package updates on my #Linux or #FreeBSD box, I brace myself for the delightful chaos of the software jungle. Will it be a majestic new feature or a bug that bites?

@nixCraft I see at least three zoologically named packages, you definitely have a fun night ahead

Is not a feature, neither a bug; just small non functional or not lethal mutation.

@nixCraft cutting down costs in prevision of the revenue loss from Google paying Mozilla to make Google it’s default browser, caused by the defeat from Google on court on a antitrust case, brought by the Departement of Justice of the United States of America.

Sadly, Mozilla didn’t cut on AI crap.

@nixCraft If I had to guess, they wanted a stake in the ground in case there were monetisation opportunities. There were none.
