walking is a nice way to experience your surroundings at a gentle pace that might allow for surprising, inspiring interactions or discoveries

or even the chance to practice smiling while greeting a stranger

looks like Bishop Arts -> Fair Park -> White Rock -> NW Hwy -> Hampton/Inwood, with a weird section jutting out toward Irving along 114

so, no suburbs, only enclaves

also curious as to why libresolv.so.2 is packaged in the Linux tarball

"Don't be a catgrepper"

- various HostGator employees, c. 2011

another tick in the "never ever have a partnership with Microsoft" column...

well, any accounts running outdated workloads (could be anything LAMP-flavored) could be attack vectors, with the entire shared machine possibly compromised by any weak account due to these latest LPEs

these cPanel machines frequently run 4- or low-5-figure quantities of customer accounts, each with potentially multiple domains or CMS deployments, and not always the most technically-engaged customer base, so that's a lot of surface area to account for: how diligent can hosts realistically be about every WordPress plugin, every Drupal or Magento module, and so on?

(nb I don't like shared hosting and am not defending it, just addressing the reality of the long tail)

FFXIV's level/stat sync system is also pretty cool for keeping the older stuff playable long past its original release, players get levels and stats and skills scaled down to the max level appropriate for the content

4-player dungeons still end up being a bit of a faceroll, but it's definitely possible to wipe on the 8-player bosses if mechanics are not observed

Hopefully, reaction is read as to the action, not some categorization of the actor

"hate the sin, love the sinner", or something

I'd consider this a lowball in Austin

at The Planet in Dallas c. 2002 the EPO button was exposed with no cover, and in very very close proximity to the "Exit" button for the doors...

one day, a colo customer hit the wrong button on the way out, and uhh, there was an outage

there used to be a lot more shared hosting in the world when Slashdot ruled the geek news roost

it'd be fine if it's one site on a dedicated machine, but these shared webhosts would routinely cram 500-1000 hosting accounts onto something like a single-core, HT-less 2.4GHz Pentium 4 with two gigs of RAM, running mpm_prefork on Apache 2.0, with single-node MySQL 5.x (maybe even 4.x!) on the same box... which was not terribly efficient as others observed

you carry about 20x the compute power of that machine in your pocket, even a Raspberry Pi 4 could triple the workload

well, for football and handegg anyway

NBA Live hasn't caught up to 2K for a long time and Sony still has MLB

in the case of Azure, the users are the engineers tasked with implementing the infra

I'm not sure I've ever heard of a shop adopting Azure on pure engineering merit but my anecdata are hardly exhaustive. it tends to be forced for weird business reasons (retailers mistrusting Amazon, data residency requirements, sweetheart credit deal, CIO convinced by Azure rep over golf)
