I’m curious as to how this manifests when advanced security is enabled. Advanced security on iCloud is supposed to make photos and many other services e2ee.

We compete for that spot

Do you also think laws requiring you to wear a seatbelt is “neo-fascist?”

Only if you’re not using AARCH64 based containers. At my job, we leverage the appropriate containers and performance is insanely good.

So you DO get my point, yeah? Elephants in the room should be considered first and foremost. Drinking non-paper filtered coffee every day is trivial to your risks of getting cancer compared to so many other things in our environment. I hope it clicks for you. :)

Developers are often the ones setting up the environments now via things like Terraform. IT is still needed for on-prem work though.

This isn’t accurate. Outsourcing tech jobs has been a thing since the 90s. It rarely works at scale which is why it never stuck around. It’s just as risky today as it was back then.

French press and espresso, IMO, taste far better than pourover with paper. I also prefer metal mesh with pourover, as it allows for more of the oils to seep into the carafe. But it’s just a matter of opinion. :)

Remember the whole trail of paper carbon impacts! Trees get cut to make them. Then they have to be cut/manufactured in a big factory, which uses energy. Then shipped to your stores, using gasoline. Finally you throw them away where they sit in a landfill (the most negligible part).

Though to be clear, you’re still correct that the carbon impact is negligible compared to like… big oil and cow farms. So you’re right on that front. :) Worrying about the negligible is not worth anyones time when there is an elephant in the room.

Taste, environmental friendliness. Just to name a few. Feel free to ignore my comments if you don’t like them.

This is a great example of a “micro optimization.” It feels good but ultimately does jack shit to help you.

There are studies suggesting adding paper filters to coffee increases bad cholesterol, and cardiovascular disease kills more people than cancer every year. Whoops? Brussel sprouts ever so slightly elevate your chances of getting cancer. Anything with an ethyl in it does too.

All of this to say, pick better risks to worry about. Everything is a tradeoff. Better chance you die in a freak car accident rather than developing cancer from drinking coffee that was filtered without paper. It is not worth the fuss.

Sports.

This happens over and over again with Windows so I don’t really take any of these articles seriously. People will migrate to either 11 or whatever comes next. All the kicking and screaming in the world won’t be able to stop them. How long are tech folks going to repeat this cycle?

You can use Ecobee’s cameras with HomeKit secure video. Just block the cameras from being able to talk to the internet via firewall first.

I believe that is the entire point of the piece.

That’s a reach beyond reaches.

Seems like you’re spewing FUD to me, mostly. I agree Apple is far from perfect, but they literally introduced an e2e methodology for much of iCloud data recently.

Besides, even if they are only doing this out of selfish desire, it’s still a good thing for the consumers in this case.

Good on them for standing up for what’s right on this.

For a long while last year, I had an iPhone and my fiancé had a Pixel. It did not matter whatsoever in regards to the relationship. We used Telegram (still do).

If phone choice dictates someone’s choice in partner it is probably safe to categorize them as “terminally online.” Stay away from those people.

There is no double nat. Passthrough mode has worked as expected for me. The one issue I have is that the RG will maintain firewall states, so it limits you to the RG hardware for those states. I have a pretty large home network though, tons of devices, IoT, etc, and it has been stable.

Latency seems decent. I have an AT&T fiber 2gb symmetrical connection and a ping to google from my Netgate pfSense machine is around 10-15ms.

I used Plex for years, and it is the superior product (if you pay) compared to Open Source alternatives. However, after seeing Plex’s recent incentive pivots and looking for investors I jumped shipped to Jellyfin. The thermometor of enshittification is indicating that Plex is on its way out.

Folks who haven’t looked at alternatives yet, do so now.
