InvaderFizz··on CrowdStrike representatives issue trademark infringement notice to ClownStrike
They can try through the UDRP, but your easy defense is to point that the date registered exceeds their TM by years. The UDRP would be highly likely to end in your favor should you dispute.
InvaderFizz··on Ask HN: How do you choose a hostname for personal devices?
OwnerType

JakeBook = MBP

JakePods = AirPods

JanePad = iPad

Short, easy to tell whose device is which in the house, uncreative.

InvaderFizz··on Crooks Bypassed Google's Email Verification to Create Workspace Accounts, Acces
I suspect that was the intent. Clickbait without being obvious.
InvaderFizz··on Taking my diabetes treatment into my own hands
Knowing little about the subject. If Insulin is a 20 minute lag, and eating is a 20 minute lag. Shouldn't you just dose immediately before eating so they hit at the same time?
InvaderFizz··on The FCC wants to force carriers to unlock phones within 60 days
Extremely common for carrier provided phones. Especially the highly subsidized prepaid ones.

Verizon already has this 60 day policy, including for its wholly owned subsidiary MVNOs. T-Mobile is six months. A lot of other prepaid MVNOs are one year.

If you are buying from Apple, it's generally unlocked. I'm not aware of Apple directly selling locked iPhones at all anymore.

InvaderFizz··on DevOps Isn't Dead, but It's Not in Great Health Either
We're still in the process of automating the promotion process. We're very conservative. We have dev, qa, stg, uat, and prod. All fully duplicated and IaC 100% after dev.

The "app" we deploy every two weeks is three major components made up of multiple microservices each, across eight dev teams.

And yeah, feature flags is under evaluation right now.

InvaderFizz··on DevOps Isn't Dead, but It's Not in Great Health Either
The point about multiple deployments per day is well taken. Even those of us who wish to get there, have to contend with decades of process to make headway.

In my F500, we have a regular release cadence of every two weeks. We would like that to be daily or more, but we are probably one to two years of maturity away from making that a reality.

Not that we do DevOps in the way it was envisioned. We have a "DevOps" team that is responsible for platforms, processes, and operations, and a developer team that is responsible for the application code. The DevOps team works closely with devs to plan and architect the designs to make sure we're using the right services, scale, tuning, etc.

Within our org, the only real difference between DevOps and classic Ops is the skill level within the DevOps org is dramatically higher than what you used to find in the sysadmin crowd. Most of our DevOps people are cloud native, but a few have deep systems knowledge and decades of hardware, Linux, networking, security, etc experience. All of our DevOps team is very comfortable with Python, that ends up being our default for glueups. We even have a few former devs who also write custom tooling for our pipelines and other QoL improvements.

So for us, developers deliver application code, devops does everything else.

InvaderFizz··on The Raspberry Pi 5 Is No Match for a Tini-Mini-Micro PC
Completely depends on intended use case. If your goal is good compute and connectivity, a used minipc or a new N100 is the obvious choice.

If you need GPIO, the Pi is the obvious choice.

I end up with multiple N100 systems and a single RaspberryPi.

InvaderFizz··on NLRB judge declares non-compete clause is an unfair labor practice
That stuck out at me too.

So, all you have to do to completely lie on your resume and keep employed, is pretend to be union organizing?

InvaderFizz··on Intel's anti-upgrade tricks defeated with Kapton tape
If the board supports headless USB bios updates, yes. Those can update the bios without a cpu present.
InvaderFizz··on After Furiosa flops, Hollywood could be facing a biblically disastrous summer
I just watched it this weekend on a whim at the end of an all day date. We both enjoyed it a lot, we went and watched Fury Road at home after as she had not seen that and was very excited for it.

I think I still like Furiosa better, but my opinion of Fury Road has improved upon the second watching.

The viewing experience was great. There were like 10 other people in the entire theater and we had prime center seats.

InvaderFizz··on GPT-4o
I was about to comment the same thing about the accent. Even to my gringo ears, it sounds like an American speaking Spanish.

Plátano is commonly used for banana in Mexico, just bought some at a Soriana this weekend.

InvaderFizz··on Tips on adding JSON output to your command line utility. (2021)
Here is a sample of my input json, here is what I expect the result to be, write a jq command to accomplish that.
InvaderFizz··on Cloudflare R2 IA storage tier
Unfortunately that email exchange is in the corporate archive of a company I have not worked for since 2021.
InvaderFizz··on Apple Updates App Store Guidelines to Permit Game Emulators, EU Music App Links
I use AdGuard Pro on iOS Safari. I generally never see ads. The experience is pretty close to ublock origin on the desktop.
InvaderFizz··on Cloudflare R2 IA storage tier
A few jobs ago I was looking at switching from CloudFront to CloudFlare. I was basically told to come back when I have real money to spend. They essentially said that they don't even want to work with me and my $3k/month cloudfront bill, they start at $5k.
InvaderFizz··on Xz: A microcosm of the interactions in open source projects
With a personal repo I maintain, I once had someone look me up on linked in, and then file a support ticket with my employer demanding I reply to his issue on github. He was asking for handholding following a clearly documented process and ignored all the warnings.

Needless to say, I did not assist him in any way and closed the issue as wontfix.

I've also had people demand that I expand the narrow scope of my project to cover a whole class of devices with completely different APIs, instead of the sole focus on the series from the same manufacturer of devices I own and use. Closed as wontfix as well with a clear statement that I will not be expanding the scope, but am more than happy to link to their project covering it.

InvaderFizz··on Home Lab Beginners guide
The N100 is the current thing. It is in a large variety of form factors with a variety of available connectivity options.

N100 sips power while performing as well as a 60w quad core Skylake.

InvaderFizz··on Show HN: RAM Prices
And LRDIMM, unbuffered ecc, and FBDIMM.
InvaderFizz··on GlobalFoundries wins $3.1B in CHIPS Act subsidies for NY, Vermont
Loss of land does get priced in as prices rise with a lower supply and higher demand. It just takes a while to really feel it.
InvaderFizz··on Show HN: A Website to Turn Your Apple Notes into Blogs
I still think $19/month is quite the jump from free. The limit on page views is a bit weird. I see that as easily scaring off people that will never go anywhere near 100k page views, but fear they might.

You may want to do something to alleviate that, like a burstable page view so they don't get screwed the one time they make a post that somehow goes viral.

That said, your enterprise plan should probably stay at $199 or more. At a previous company we were paying over $400/month on average for managed Wordpress through Kinsta.

InvaderFizz··on Volkswagen will bring back physical buttons
Screens simplify the design, testing, reduces expense and variance with even more injection molds, wiring for each button, labor costs, etc.

There are nothing but upsides for the auto maker, but it's mostly downsides for the end user. It's flashy, which helps initial sales, but consumers hate ever little inconvenience after having the car for a few months.

InvaderFizz··on Apple responds to the Beeper iMessage saga: 'We took steps to protect our users'
I get 1-2 per year. Usually from an iCloud address to my phone and a bunch of sequential numbers in my exchange.
InvaderFizz··on ZFS Profiling on Arch Linux
This is a great read. It explains in detail the process of enabling debug symbols and using perf to root cause a performance issue.

I've never done this type of work, but probably will in the future now that I have an example to follow.

InvaderFizz··on SSH3: SSHv2 using HTTP/3 and QUIC
Absolutely nothing to do with DDoS in my case. I want censorship regimes to have to break large portions of the internet for their citizens to stop even the most simple leak vector. Let them block Cloudflare, Akamai, and Cloudfront.
InvaderFizz··on SSH3: SSHv2 using HTTP/3 and QUIC
It sure would be nice to be able to easily throw up a CDN like Cloudflare in front of my ssh server with no client side special sauce required.

I didn't see it stated in the documentation, it this feels like something that might work for that setup.

InvaderFizz··on Who makes the most reliable new cars?
On most cars you can disable the seatbelt chime with the right sequence, it's just not advertised and won't be found in the manual, but is easily found online.
InvaderFizz··on The new Paris métro
You are not wrong about Cancun, but you can take the ADO bus downtown for about $6, or rent a car for $25/day in low season or $50/day in high season with downtown return.

Supposedly there was an agreement reached between the federal government and Uber/Didi and they will be able to pickup in January. Remains to be seen. I hope they put the national guard in the terminal to keep the taxi drivers in line.

InvaderFizz··on Mapped: The Migration of the Millionaires in 2023
Additionally, France is one of the few countries that recognizes Roth tax advantaged status for retirement accounts. Most other countries do not.
InvaderFizz··on Why 56k is the fastest dial up modem speed
Correct. And IIRC, IDSL was just ISDN with all three channels dedicated to data. Yielding 144kbps at phenomenal distances from the CO.
