No NAT November is an annual event that encourages Linux sysadmins, developers, and network engineers to go thirty days without setting up NAT. Who is up for some challenge? @nixCraft I wish I could. NAT belongs in the history books as a cautionary tale of network engineering gone horribly, horribly wrong.

@nixCraft because nobody understood how to make a real alternative to PHP and why people are using it. It's very frustrating.PHP should really be dead. It was from a newbie for newbies. But somehow it was kept alive. If you want to barf: Read the source code for PHP/FI 2.0

@nixCraft You know you could prevent this if you just bought and additional copy of Windows Server and set it up for WSUS. :') For those asking, I logged into my YouTube premium for ad-free access, yet I'm getting 10-20% of ads blocked and another time popup asking to turn off the Ad blocker. LOL. I don't know why Google thinks it is necessary to show Ads in paid options. Tracking never stops. Original thread: https://mastodon.social/@nixCraft/111246116751476250 This is why I have trust issues with Google, Microsoft, Apple, and other companies. Their constant display of ads or tracking your every movement is beyond greedy.

@nixCraft it's a good reminder that even if you pay to not see ads on YouTube, Google still needs to surveil you constantly to add value to the targeted ads they show you on every other site on the internet. @nixCraft A rule of thumb: no for-profit corporation will take an action that raises costs or reduces revenues without a court order demanding it.

@nixCraft Takes all the stress, and keeps it away from the programmer. Always there when the programmer has questions. (As I saw other comments, I realize I had bad experiences too in the past, but I won't mention them, because why would someone want to settle down for a shitty work environment, right?)

@nixCraft with my employer (Siemens) they saw the light quickly during the pandemic. In a few months time all employee contracts have been switched to have work from home as a standard offering if you are an office worker. At my office, many employees do hybrid (like me), some at the office every day, some fully remote. So numerous brands are giving up on Threads by Instagram, allegedly due to lack of engagement π BBC Gives Up On Threads (By Instagram), Sticks With Mastodon https://darnell.day/bbc-gives-up-on-threads-by-instagram-sticks-with-mastodon Instead of simply adding a link option to Instagram, Meta decided to create a new app that collects user data. This move by BBC tells you how good Mastodon is right now.

> BBC prefers to control its social narrative BBC prefers to control EVERY narrative. "How cool is that?" Not very; a little bit fascist, even. Be very very wary of them being in the Fediverse, please.Just another day in tech-bro failure. So glad they are in charge of leading humanity to its future. Add OpenAI, Google, and Common Crawl to your robots.txt to block generative AI from stealing content and profiting from it. See https://www.cyberciti.biz/web-developer/block-openai-bard-bing-ai-crawler-bots-using-robots-txt-file/ for more info and a firewall to block those and other AI bots, too. #AI @nixCraft And if one has control of the server, look into installing a port-blocking tool such as fail2ban that kicks in if it spots unwanted activity. I've seen too many bots that ignore the robots.txt file

@nixCraft the known OC: I HOPE YOUR CHAIR HAS GROWN OVER WITH MOSS I HOPE A PLEASANT BUT UNOBSERVED BEAM OF LIGHT HITS YOUR DESK PERFECTLY THROUGH THE COLLAPSED CEILING I HOPE THE SILENCE IS DEAFENING" I asked a software engineer once what it would cost to build this today. I will never forget his answer: βWe canβt, we donβt know how to do it.β |οΏ£οΏ£οΏ£οΏ£οΏ£οΏ£οΏ£οΏ£οΏ£οΏ£οΏ£οΏ£οΏ£οΏ£οΏ£οΏ£οΏ£|

@nixCraft Never! Unless you have brought your sleeping bag with you. Also don't forget clean π©² π©² for the weekend at the office. LOL @nixCraft @janriemer A majority of companies cannot push to production on Friday as they are far away from CI/CD/DevOps for the majority of their IT and still think in Day1/Day2. Seven-day-long battery life? Better security and privacy? Who needs that? It has an action button and USB C port that was invented ten years ago. That is the iPhone 15 in a nutshell. The whole thing (event) could have been an email newsletter. π€‘π There are likely physics limitations to creating a longer-lasting battery, but I am not an expert in this area. It might be theoretically possible for modem phones, but I just don't know.

Do you like it when browsers share any function of your browsing history with every random website you visit to target Ads? Well, get ready, Google Chrome pushes ahead with targeted ads based on your browser history https://www.theregister.com/2023/09/06/google_privacy_popup_chrome/ #privacy #security

@nixCraft Not surprising, and I expect most browsers do (or will do) the same. But I don't use Chrome since Google's digital gangster attack on Canadian sovereignty and won't use them until they stop the extortion. Ditto with Meta (FB and Threads). @nixCraft You can avoid paying for cats, by adopting a stray cat. I'd recommend that instead of going to a pet shop as you'll also help a bit by keeping care of the animals around you, instead of bringing ones which are strangers to your place.

@nixCraft I had it in college and it was hands-down the best and most effective way to really screw something upβ¦until I leaned C which allowed me to screw lots of things up at the same time. @nixCraft I feel the wording needs "eve-e-e-entually" somewhere in there. :blobfoxsmirk:β On 25 August 1991, Linus at age 21 announced Linux project/system in a Usenet posting to the newsgroup.

@nixCraft Does rm -rf count as a git command?
@nixCraft I only use 4 Git commands:
git pull
git commit
git push
git reset --hard
@nixCraft It is known.
