As someone who just got done putting a bullet in some long-used instances, I both appreciated and needed this laugh. Thanks!

These guys always have the best write-ups. I aspire to write postmortems like they do. In fact, maybe my next context for a ChatGPT query will be “you are a member of of CloudFlare’s public relations team…”

All joking aside, it occurred to me that the vast majority of internet and even tech users know very little about DNS. For the longest time, I was in the same boat. After having been in a role where it was necessary to understand the record types and deploy DNS configs, I’m quite thankful I learned. Just remember…it’s always DNS.

> And so, the question: why are there so few of them? Here is just a smattering of the official actions that don’t exist[...]

This part of the article half triggered me and half made me laugh. I was recently on a GitHub webinar to listen to the pitch for CoPilot, but of course they also talked about Actions and GHAS. Anyway, during the overview of Actions, the presenters made a comment about how Actions was "backed by the community." It felt to me like a glaring admission that the product isn't mature. But in true Microsoft fashion, they charge you like it is.

First significant vuln for KeePass in awhile. Still a better threat model than cloud.

The situation you've described has never happened. Out of all the options, it is considered the safest. People forget that the dollar is backed by the ultimate currency - military force.

Over the last 10 years we've had to replace our furnace twice, and happen to have both gas and a heat pump (a hybrid system). Each time, we had a different contractor do the installation...but both guys told us that they like to run gas below like 30 degrees. The second guy said he runs gas exclusively - no heat pump installed in his home. I asked what the primary differences were in terms of efficiency, and both claimed that temperature at the register is significantly hotter, producing more heat with less effort and therefore more efficiency.

I haven't done any scientific testing; the only data I have to measure the difference is my energy bill (which of course is subject to rate changes). But I have indeed observed that with gas, our bill is lower during the very cold months, and I'm able to see this because I have years of data on what we spend each month on energy.

Not everyone is using Azure and a full M365 implementation though.

What's scary is that I recognize one of the games being played by the users in the picture - Silpheed.

You’re absolutely right, I’m done preordering games. I didn’t do it much anyway, but nowadays it’s just not worth it. The most recent and egregious example that comes to my mind was the latest Battlefield. My goodness was that a turd, and lots of people felt rightfully burned after preordering that game and essentially getting a totally unfinished product.

5 years of software updates - that's a lol. My wife has had 3 different generations of Pixel phones fail (hardware failure, not dropped or broken by the user).

She keeps going back to them though because the camera smokes the competition (according to her).
