I don't know if Starlink is routing packets that way. I think it's more likely that they route packets to a ground station as soon as possible to save laser link capacity for customers that actually need it, like ones in the middle of the ocean. If you want your packets routed all the way around the Earth through space then you'd probably need a special contract with SpaceX.

You are trying to exercise individual market power, when there are other "scabs" who will go and spend that money keeping prices inflated anyway.

Your action alone will not produce any value, it requires collusion with other market participants.

If you want to make a change you need to exercise power and that means unionizing.

I'll just say, it's hard for me not to read something into it.

The wealthiest town I lived in (in college), a group of classmates and I almost got run down by a minivan, while we were crossing during a red light and walk signal. The driver rolled down the window to yell at us that we were in the wrong, "Because we didn't pay taxes in this town". Is that normal/common? Because that sort of experience was normal for that town - I knew a few people who actually had been hit while walking with a similar experience, being yelled at by the driver while they are lying on the ground.

I'm confused... Are you arguing that zoning, red-tape, and generally anti-development politicians and voters aren't the fundamental problem here? How exactly do you envision a government housing program to side-step all of the above issues? Do you think voters who fight relentlessly to block development feel differently about public housing? How do you expect it to get funded even, when a single unit of "affordable housing" costs ~$1m to build in a place like San Francisco?

Not US, and for reasons, the housing crisis is not _that_ bad where I live, but: in principle our country is exactly like our parent's generation imagined it. It's perfectly aligned with their interests. Where they'd hike to a hut in the mountains once, there is now a paved road, so they can still drive to the hut, even though they're not able to walk anymore. Somewhere else they built a cable car, for exactly the same purpose. They have houses. They have cars. They dominate every political institution there is. They voted to keep the conscription, so enough poor young people who alternatively chose community service would be available when they need care, eventually. They go on vacations three times a year. And heaven forbid they'd need to give up _anything_ they once had. Political parties that suggest anything like that would have no chance in elections.

Perhaps auditing tools should do something better than just comparing version numbers as released by upstream?

Maybe Ubuntu LTS does less security backports than RHEL, but that doesn't make it better per se (saying this as an Ubuntu user).
Stupid auditors/pentesters really. Explained a bit in another comment, but essentially we had to explain the concept of backporting cve fixes to the same 'version' of random libs to the auditors and to get certified we would have to demonstrate, with actual source, that each of ~200 or so cve's were fixed in various system parts (individually).

In the end, we just went with ubuntu for those nodes, and they all passed the certification. Shrug.

Since then, we don't even need the OS to be certified, since we are using confidential computing, and we stuck with ubuntu for our k8s nodes etc -- but we are forbidden from using rhel anywhere by our legal / compliance people now.
I imagine compressed gas stoves are more common now, is that the companies make more off of selling those little bottles of fuel, also maintenance is easier.

The advantage a white gas stove has is that it will work in freezing weather and it is easier to store.
Same in my experience. The tech scene, as with Twitter, has changed the most -- all of the tech subs I used to follow have slowed down considerably in the last couple of weeks. I suspect that we'll see another big hit July 1 when the API dies, and maybe a couple of days before when the big third-party apps kill their API keys.

Meme subs will rage on as always, but I honestly wonder how much of those are majority bot-generated content at this point. In the last couple of years there's already been a serious uptick in recycled content from prior years, same or similar subs, to harvest upvotes on accounts.

Much like Twitter, I suspect certain communities will linger on. Local city subreddits, cesspools that they are, seem to be going strong still. But I don't consider that much of a loss, it's basically a (slightly) better Nextdoor.

I suspect third-party apps make up a huge portion of power user interactions, simply because the alternatives on mobile are really crappy. I guess we'll see for sure on the 30th.
In my experience RHEL has been better at backporting patches and maintaining a relatively stable kernel. This means that third-party software that targeted it is more likely to work over time. Canonical by comparison is absolutely terrible, and seemingly just blindly imports whatever is thrown over the wall from kernel.org even in their so-called "LTS" versions, and now after running an innocuous "apt-get upgrade" command your frobnitz device no longer works and/or you can't rebuild the driver for your frobnitz device due to incompatible kernel changes.

Some vendors also explicitly detail exactly which distro and versions they support ("RHEL or Centos x.y"), so even if you can get things to work on another distro, a vendor can easily deny your support request with the usual BS line: "that configuration is not supported. Switch back to RHEL x.y or SLES and let us know if you can reproduce the issue! La-la-la have a nice day, buh-bye! phone click".
If you’re interested, you should take a look at Sublime Merge. I switched to it a couple of years ago. Made by the creators of Sublime Text so it’s as snappy as you’d expect. And it has some surprisingly powerful tooling when it comes to searching the history (list all commits that changed a file and by a certain author etc). I also like that you can see a log of all of the git commands it’s executing behind the scenes.
Thanks for posting this book, I've never heard of it but super interesting.
Honestly surprised to see so much chat about RHEL here. I'm sure there are reasons to use it, but it seems so niche. Like 90% of cloud stuff is running Debian or Ubuntu.

Given their customer base, I certainly wouldn't be putting any special effort into supporting RHEL unless I was being paid for it.

> Just because the bottom of a slippery slope looks awful, or can't be seen isn't a reason to do, or not do something - because I can construct a million awful slippery slopes for any action you do, or not do.

Who said anything about using a slippery slope for the _only_ justification to do or not do anything?

You said "Slippery slope arguments provide exactly zero guidance for as to when it is reasonable to stop going down the slope, which is what makes them utterly useless" and I disagree that they're utterly useless. Sure, it doesn't provide guidance. Why does it need to? As you go down the slippery slope you learn about the possibilities you should consider. You also learn about the possibilities you can ignore. It's a risk assessment tool and it's incredibly useful.

I'm not sure how you can deny that putting all the chips on the table, thinking about, and debating all the possibilities has no benefit when you're assessing an idea or an action to take. There's nothing wrong with _considering_ possibilities and going down the slippery slope. It's often a very useful exercise.

> Their security teams are industry-leading and they have done a lot of important work over the past decade (Project Zero, a very well-done bug bounty program, Advanced Protection, FIDO/hardware security keys, large-scale fuzzing and AFL, tons of behind the scenes sandboxing work, Linux kernel hardening...).

I have to agree. Google has O(200k) employees, and included among those, are some of the best security people in the world. Indeed, many are left over from historic Google.

However, there's a huge difference between having high-calibre employees and having those employees impact the security of the huge numbers of products Google develops. Most of those employees do fine research, but have no influence on the typical Google product.

> They have a fine track record keeping their users safe ... [citation needed]

Let me tell you a story. I use Google Workspace Free. My account was compromised, not through much fault of anyone involved (long story, involving being targeted by a criminal actor who gained physical access to a device).

I wanted to collect records, go to the police, and have the criminal arrested. Google had clear logs of what happened. I found out that security was a value-added product. I'd need to switch from my version to a paid version, and could never switch back. The cost was going to be $6/user/month for the rest of my life, times a dozen family members, times 12 months, times another 60 years of life, which is around 50 thousand dollars.

$50 grand.

To get audit logs.

You can guess what I decided.

There was no way to prevent this retrospectively, but it'd be very easy to prevent prospectively. It just wasn't worth doing for $50k. The criminal is still out there. They might be targeting your home or business!

Thanks Google!

Another good story -- impacting a significant fraction of low-income individuals in the world -- is withholding security updates for Android after a few years to keep people on the upgrade treadmill. New devices have frequent updates. Older ones have slower updates, until at some point, the updates stop. Phones get compromised, and attackers do ransomware, identity theft, and other sorts of nasty things.

Thanks Google!

Security should not be a paid value-add. Everyone deserves security.

I could tell many more stories too.

Try configuring systemd (that's including all the services it has to run) in INI... I mean, it's sort of what it does with unit files... but this means you now have hundreds of INI files. They are all related, but you don't really know how. You could try versioning them, but you don't even know where all of them are, so every configuration change is a minefield.

Or, another, perhaps a simpler mental experiment: try writing a CloudFormation template in an INI format. After all CloudFormation templates are configuration for the service that creates virtual appliances. If you look at the current JSON / YAML way to define this kind of template, you'll see that YAML isn't expressive enough to do it, and they had to invent a lot of meta-language conventions to be able to express what they need. With INI your struggle will be monumental to accomplish that.

Point of order for anyone wanting to buy a stove: I believe the parent poster has the Whisperlite International. The regular Whisperlite is only rated to burn white gas and does not have interchangeable jets for kerosene.

The international simmers a little more poorly than the regular in my limited experience. I have a Dragonfly which is a whole 'nother animal entirely. It simmers brilliantly, but it's comparatively bulky and takes a different pump from every other stove MSR makes. And it's loud as hell.
> Look at Amazon, who, until very recently at least, simply took what RHEL provided, used that to lure customers into their "RHEL-compatible" cloud platform, far away from any need to compensate Red Hat in any way, and contributed back into RHEL and its upstreams... what exactly?

Yes, let's do look at Amazon! Because if RH is targeting Amazon Linux, they kind of missed the mark; Amazon, like Red Hat, now simply draws from Fedora as their upstream. All this does hurts is the old versions that were already on their way out.
I really feel like that's underselling it. Yes, many stories are responded to with "a mix of curiosity, concern, and reminiscence". But it still got a lot of the specific details right:

1. First, it identified the top story correctly, "Google has a secret browser hidden inside the settings".

2. "Others express concerns about the potential security risks and the implications for parental or school controls" and "Some users reminisce about similar workarounds in the past or share their own experiences with bypassing restrictions" are really specific to that story and not generally applicable.

I know this may come across as being pedantic, but as much as AI can be over-hyped, I also see a lot of cases where it is underhyped (e.g. "it's just doing autocomplete!") that also aren't really a fair assessment of its capabilities.

Yep it sucks. Many people I know cannot afford unless there are two people paying the bills. You need two to tango for kids of course, and some might argue why do you need a 3 bed house if you are single without kids (I am assuming here - you may not be). Of course that is no one's business apart from your own and shouldn't factor in to this.
It is par for the course, and it is also the thing that'll keep federated networks from succeeding.

Look, I don't like or trust Facebook. But how many customers would Fastmail have if they defederated from Gmail? For that matter, how much would Gmail have grown if they had decided not to federate with Hotmail and Yahoo? If people can't use your service to talk to or follow friends & family on other services, they'll just use the services their friends & family use. Sure, they could use both, but why bother? The one that isn't huge has little or nothing to offer them.

I'm all for letting users of federated networks set up their own personal blocks of users, nodes, entire services, whatever. But when admins defederate, it blocks all good communication, too. And turns the federated network into an unfederated non-network.

> Don’t like it? Make your own fediverse node.

Sure. And when you do set up your own fediverse node with the intent of actually staying federated, you will quickly find yourself with a de-fediverse node, as admins punish you for daring to let your computer talk to the computer of someone they don't like.

Edit: To be more clear, I am NOT saying that fediverse nodes want or need to be huge like Gmail or Facebook. I'm saying that convincing people to escape the walled garden into the fediverse is mostly not gonna be possible without a demonstrated commitment to keeping the network connected. It'd be like trying to convince someone to set up their own email server, when nobody they know will ever see their emails because Gmail dumps it all into the spam bucket. What Gmail has done to the idea of a personal email server, the fediverse is doing to itself, self-inflicted.
The time delta to the next minor version, usually. RHEL has a release in the spring and the fall. The last pair of releases were in May and November. If something landed in CentOS Stream in between May and November, it will probably be part of the November release. If it's after that, then it'll be part of the next spring release.

It's not particularly complex, in my opinion.
