I think Vivek Ramaswamy found out how that worked out for himself in politics and at DOGE as a billionaire.
I suspect your view of very, very few is suspect.
The founding ideas of MAGA certainly cling to it. The 60-70 million voters for it have zero issues with it.
We’ve seen the footage of the police brutalizing peaceful protestors beating them with clubs, riding over them repeatedly with horses.
The police in this country are woefully undertrained compared to the rest of the industrialized nations.
Exactly who is the Dragon here? You think Israel’s bloodlust is done with Iran? They want much more Territory across the Middle East. They are occupying parts of Cypress right now, And have craving for parts of Egypt and more.
ALL databases had their startup configuration parameters defined per instance across datacenters.
Furthermore SRE had tools to rate limit connections or restart of a database so that it was not overwhelmed by incoming connection requests. We also built tools to do fine grained definition of load balancers and what services were behind them to be able to redirect traffic on the fly and then reset to the original mappings once connectivity of the LBs was resolved.
These tools weee centralized and available to both SRE and senior system administrators.
These things evolved to new tools which accommodated a private cloud, then docker then Kubernetes. I left prior to kubernetes implementation.
All of this is criminal behavior on the the current regime.
“he staffed “cerebral palsy patients” to chop, glue, and bag for $.10 per piece.
Between the high demand and likely paying workers a subminimum wage, profits soared”
Nothing like exploitation to drive home Christianity.
Go look for the audio recording from the head of AIPAC COMPLAINING about public opinion against their war.
They want it silenced, as does Zuckerberg, Musk & Bezos for the latter Temu & TikTok have to have impacted sales).
According to Congress it is a national security threat. The Supreme Court unanimously agreed. And yet Trump may restart TikTok as is after he is inaugurated.
Cambridge Analytics partnered with Meta to target elections around the world, bragged of using the data to install into office whoever paid them the most.
Americans, found in TikTok a place where they could learn about history, hobbies, comedy, and information about things NEVER taught in schools & being able to use it as a search engine instead of google to find people talking about what they wanted to find.
The world is already filled with propaganda from the US government, at the behest of corporations.
It is all out in the open.
As for monitoring? We have been monitored heavily and all our data is in the hands of the NSA, GCHQ, the Chinese government, the 5 eyes & every social media platform. There must have been thousands of data breaches with ALL. Of your financial data, your credit history, and more.
All governments use propaganda and have done evil by their citizens in the interests of power,control & wealth.
We are monitored by our devices with our internet traffic collected and sold.
We are tracked by TransUnion, Experian et al.
Our license plates are scanned on the roads, at shopping center, malls.
Google will send police lists of whose phones were in what area based on geofencing.
NSA was copying ALL inter data center traffic between all google data centers.
Our banks file SARS reports on deposits & withdrawals.
The data model for this sounds like it would be simple. Exactly how many use cases are there to be implemented?
Build this with modern tech on HA Linux backends. Eliminate the batch job nonsense.
This could be written up as a project for bootcamps or even a YouTube series.
I suspect some internal politics about moving forward and clinging to old methods is at hand.
Perhaps someone could build an open source platform if the requirements were made public.
The version of the image is a timestamp like this.
20241127214906
Then in documentation it is sometimes described as 1.1
Looking at that timestamp tells me nothing other than the time it was built. It gives zero context when deployed to production units and determining what it actually is. Our developers provide no central source of truth about the mapping of a timestamp to a version now that we are converting units to production for customers.
/etc/release is supposed to indicate the version and it contains a timestamp of 20241127214906. And what is our customer to make of that?
It is extremely frustrating and I really don’t understand why this is being done. Going forward this is going to be a mess.
Versions of products built via a devOps platform, should always allow cross references to a version and builds over time till formal gold master release.
The Chinese now build world class EV, cutting edge infrastructure the show the US as a 3rd world country.
Citizens of other nations don’t like the US CIA & military destabilizing their economies, and the US military destroying their infrastructure and people.
China is returning the favor, and if you think they EVER forgot the opium wars with the western powers to force opium into their country…well you have another think coming.
Look at all the countries in South America we have destabilized for corporations to loot their natural resources & wealth.
US corporations taught the Chinese industry all their know how, and they kept at it and have been flexing their technological capabilities.
They are mirroring what this country has done globally, just as we learned from the British.
