Awful. This is the same argument that the conservatives in Sweden have used to justify their massive increase in CO2 emissions after gaining power in 2022. Tech won't save us, and it's easier, cheaper, and more effective to fix your own heavily polluting grid than it is to plant some trees in Africa, or give away some solar panels and call it a day.

Holy shit I didn't realize you could buy root beer concentrate, this is amazing. I'm totally stocking up next time I'm in the US.
overclock.net lives on
It's implied that it was a decision by management. If I had to guess, it's related to money and/or the redundancy cause by the same parent company owning both Tom's Hardware and Anandtech.
Kind of unfortunate, since I always thought Anandtech had the better articles, but I guess this also preserves Anandtech's legacy in some ways.
Yeah this is definitely a brand merger in some ways.
I imagine it might be due to profitability, too. I think the rate of articles has slowed down in the last 5 years, and I think losing Ian Cutress's analysis was also tough for their articles.
It feels like a lot of the hardware journalism these days has moved to YouTube, like Gamers Nexus, Hardware Unboxed, TechTechPotato, Moore's Law Is Dead, etc.
I think Chips and Cheese seems to be the biggest site for detailed hardware analysis these days.
Don't jump to the complex right away
It's more complex to have 10 different ways to do the same thing. Like, just take a week to teach your ops team how to use Docker and Kubernetes, so everything can simplified to just one Kubernetes cluster instead of 20 bespoke EC2 instances.
Cloud Native development isn't about making systems unnecessarily complex. It's about simplifying tools down to common, scalable components, and reusing code as often as possible.
For example We use kubernetes to run code, because kubernetes is the only platform to run code that can be automated with simple HTTP apis. It is a common platform for computing, much simpler to use than the mess of EC2 instances, cron jobs, and shell scripts that the industry used to rely on. Of course, it is a higher level abstraction than programming everything yourself in Assembly, but that's the point.
Is there a way for me to be "notified" if shell access of any form is gained by someone?
Falco is a very powerful tool for this.
Bottle deposit systems are generally effective. In Sweden, 90-95% of the pet plastic in drink bottles makes it back to a factory to be used as raw material for new bottles. We don't really recycle the hdpe lids or polyester labels, though.
It's a safety issue
Yeah, that's true. But if we consider "the Fediverse" to mean "internet forums that support Activity Pub", then Mastodon is unforenot the biggest pleyer on the Fediverse in terms of user count, public impact, and funding.
Of course, Threads can go fuck themselves. Open source communities have no obligation to play megacorps' games.
Unraid is bad at NAS and bad at docker. Go with a separate Nas and application server.
