  • Just as a heads-up: expect some pushback just for asking.

    In general buying accounts is frowned upon on all private trackers I’m aware of, including the rule to ban bought accounts on sight.

    Several private trackers give out VIP status for people buying seed boxes through them though I guess there are some where you’d get an account in the first place through this.

    It all depends on your goals. Personally I wouldn’t trust account sellers. I don’t see a way for them to get accounts without it being quite easily identifyable for the respective pages.

    Personally I went the “hard” route but never tried to push into the cabal tier private trackers.

    Just remember to not screw your account within the first hours by not taking care of your ratio and the trackers rules.

    I really don’t enjoy Linus’ content without context I have to admit.

    He was an absolute dipshit back then and he’s one of the few people I’ve read about who not only acknowledged that but also put effort into changing it - and succeeded.

    Yeah the newer mails are not as funny to third parties anymore but I’m really happy for him and especially the kernel devs around him.



  • Because a security engineer focused on cloud would rightfully say “pod security is not my issue, I’m focused on protecting the rest of our world from each pod itself.”. With AWS as example: If they then analyze the IAM role structures and to deep into where the pod runs (e.g. shared ec2 vs eks) etc. then it would just be a matter of different focus.

    Cloud security is focused on the infrastructure - looks like you’re looking for a security engineer focused on the dev side.

    If they bring neither to the table then I’m with you - but I don’t see how “the cloud” is at fault here… especially for security the world as full of “following the script” people long before cloud was a thing.

    The concept of length is way older than these definitions, same for weight and so on.

    The meter is an awesome example for what I mean: the 1/1000000 wasn’t random. From my understanding it won over the alternatives in dezimal because of it’s relative closeness to an arms length and the definition was used to remove issues in France because of the (metric) fuckton of different measurements for length.

    And the second example of yours is even better describing what I meant: it’s just making sense and is practical not a deep scientific reasoning.

    And I won’t bliebe that the foot and inch was conceived by anyone who has a scientific approach.

    To be clear: you’re right that basically by definition the units were done by professionals. I try to point out that for the more broader used units practical aspects were at least as important (after all it wasn’t a square meter that was used for the gram but a centi of one).


  • You sent me down a freaking rabbit hole, thanks! :)

    From what I found is that there is the simple reason that the weird ones are distance, time and weight - the rest I looked into are based on formal non-normalized definitions (including lumen, which surprised me).

    My guess is that in depends on where the unit comes from: science or day to day use.

    I learned about the Siemens, the Weber and the Gray on the way.

    Thanks again!


  • You got a lot of relevant answers so I want to point out something else:

    You’re hosting your own services. By yourself. Fuck everyone with a broom who tries to gatekeep that. And I don’t mean wooden side first.

    Seriously, your question is on point here from my perspective and as long as it has a connection to running services by your own I personally would love more diversity in hosting solutions.

    Personally, I’d love to see people share more about their provider agnostic opentofu deployment or someone who went all in on AWS lambdas for weird stuff.







  • Just in case you don’t follow the original discussion: this isn’t a translation problem but one of not thinking about social circles.

    These things are not common enough to have the same association as the original.

    Even if they’d use a shorter word it would miss the mark as people would just be confused what traffic control would have to do with an app. It would be like translating a German saying and expect it to be universally understood.

    There goes the dog in the pan crazy, just thinking about that!



  • No it’s the complaint about one of the few transparent revenue flows Mozilla managed to pull off.

    It’s disabled one step deep on the settings

    There is a shitload of stuff going wrong with the Mozilla foundation and this doesn’t even make the top 10.

    That’s the reason for my down vote: it’s nothing I want this community to focus on. It’s basically engagement bait with the topic “ads bad”.
