> If it was so easy to exfiltrate crypto from them, I'd have expected a heist before now.

FWIW in 2022 one of their systems was breached and $570 million worth of "BNB" was taken.

Not GP, but both. Exploiting the bug requires you to hit the same worker with multiple requests, which gets a lot easier if the number of workers is 1.

There was definitely another shift earlier this year. Previousy there were cyber attacks, cyber threats, cyber defenses, cyber crime, but the field and the subject matter was cyber security, not just "cyber". The security part could just be covered by the associated word, or by a military context. A "cyber sleuth" was still just someone doing research "in cyberspace".

That seems to have changed this year as part of AI marketing. AI models have "cyber capabilities", or are described as being "good at cyber". Anthropic announced a "cyber mission" and has a "cyber verification program". I saw a company referred to as a "cyber firm".

A cynical explanation could be that this is because it's pure marketing, and the full term risks diluting the message. If you keep mentioning "security" people might notice the actions don't line up with the presentation.

Yes. Some Google Cloud zones are in Google's own data centers and some are in third-party data centers. I vaguely remember them at some point also listing those third-party data centers somewhere, but I can't find it now and might be misremembering.

Sure, I know the reference, but "equal speech" is not a thing the Tor Project claims to defend so adapting it makes no sense.

Not sure what this is supposed to say; free speech != equal speech.

Unless something changed very recently neither vim nor neovim defaults to storing persistent undo files in ~/.cache. It's application state, not cached data.

The undodir option in vim defaults to the directory of the file, and in neovim it defaults to ~/.local/state/nvim/undo/.

Yes.

They're calling it "live" and "near real-time" because they're aggregating the data from underlying sources daily, whereas traditionally that happened only on much larger time scales.

It's not very fast compared to most things often called "live", so perhaps it's not a great label for this demo viewer, but the goal of the project seems to be to make the data available for research, not so much for this map.

> Performance is similar to when I self-host Forgejo on a dedicated VPS where I'm the only user, which is super fast.

I don't mean to be negative, but that's probably because it's pretty much the same thing. Codefloe is tiny. Some quick counting shows it has a grand total of 1012 registered users, including bots, and 1416 public repositories of which the top 3 with the most stars (I know this is a mostly meaningless metric, but for scale) have 27, 13, and 8. It's too small to run into scaling issues.

If they're not using your software they're not your users.

You seem to be treating this like a commercial endeavor in which you have much to gain from adoption by nontechnical people. I don't really see why though. It looks like you're developing non-commercial open source software for an audience of developers.

You are taking on the responsibility of being compatible with a large variety of different people's opinions on how software should be built, configured, and distributed. Yes that's a lot of work. Distributions have people willing to do that work for software they or their users (who can ask) care about.

The reason this seems so weirdly hard is that you're not supposed to be doing it. You provide sources and instructions on how to build them, and then your job is done. Users can follow those instructions. If you want to you can also build a binary with an old version of libc and distribute that to help users who don't want to compile it themselves.

Packaging it for a distro is someone else's job, and they'll take care of concerns like Debian's dependency policy. If they want to package it in the first place of course.

Box.net launched first, but they didn't introduce file synchronization, the core value proposition of Dropbox, until mid 2010.

> woah 4 years is considered obsolete?

No, this device was only discontinued this year, you can still buy accessories and it still receives software updates.

It just turns out their software has flaws that break the update process after a few years of sitting unused. Not great, but luckily there are workarounds, as this article walks you through.
