Wtf! Incredible, thank you.

It's literally a meme, a niche meme, but a meme nevertheless!

LilBytes··on Mid-1990s Sega document leak shows how it lost the second console war to Sony
I wonder if Microsofts PC marker canabilises their Xbox market.

I've got a great gaming rig, if I was to get another console on top of my switch it would always be a PS.

LilBytes··on Tell HN: Nearly all of Evernote’s remaining staff has been laid off
Yeah I'm on a grandfathered plan of $50USD which still seems steep.

Unsure what I'll do next.

LilBytes··on Passwords Are Fine
Yep, banks are notorious for this.

E.g., ING in Australia.

stairs glaringly at the new Angular front end we're developing that has four seperate front end components, each with package.json files of 200+ lines

Speaks out loud, hoping to keep the demons at bay.

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

First thing that came to my mind.

And that they're not even 'low', they're high! They should be at the bottom just to dictate how far 'shit product' can be qualified.

LilBytes··on People Hire Phone Bots to Torture Telemarketers
That's cool, which banks that?

I've been looking at alternatives from ING recently.

LilBytes··on Nvidia's shares surged almost 200% on an AI boom. But will they stay there?

LilBytes··on Debris found came from missing Titan sub, says friend of passengers
An explosion at that death is nearly always critical and catastrophic. That an explosion would occur and there might be a glimmer of hope is closer to 0 than any other number.
LilBytes··on When are containers or serverless a red flag?
Admittedly running a binary is quite simple to run on a monolith, depending on size and scaling needs a container still makes sense IMO
LilBytes··on Undercover audio of a Tyson employee reveals “freerange” chicken is meaningless
Apologies for taking so long to come back to you. You're correct, you absolutely should not hold a chicken upside down.

I don't know what I was thinking. The method I mentioned exclusively works on small mammals, think rabbits, hares, guinea pigs.

LilBytes··on Undercover audio of a Tyson employee reveals “freerange” chicken is meaningless
It means unconscious. For chickens that can be done as easily as hanging the chicken between your legs by it's feet and swinging it back and forth. Works with small mammals like rabbits and guinea pigs too.
LilBytes··on Greater than 90% chance of El Niño persisting into Northern Hemisphere winter
Yep, with the amount of rain we've had in the SE coast there's a lot of fuel around waiting to dry out.
LilBytes··on Parts for stolen Hyundais and Kias are so scarce the cars are being totaled
Wow. Great up in Hartlepool and heard the term twok so much and never had an idea it was an acronym.

Incredible, thanks!

LilBytes··on Keep the monolith, but split the workloads
Also affectionately called macroservices.

No idea if I stole it some where or came up with the idea when I was falling into slumber after losing a few days to a P0 incident, but I think it describes the N-tier architecture and what I adopt at work quite well.

LilBytes··on America’s $800B climate splurge is feeding a new lobbying ecosystem
They're helping you navigate regulation capture.

We're not talking about stopping water contamination here, we're talking about funding. It's balmy.

Source code is public though I admit the detail on the front page is lacking.

Are there any tools you'd recommend for WSL2?

SourceTree has the same problems. I'm fond of just using the CLI but I'd like to be able to recommend a UI tool for other Devs. Haven't found one that works for Windows and WSL2 together.

LilBytes··on GitHub Actions Down / Degraded
Azure DevOps pipelines are experiencing issues and we can't trigger jobs against our self hosted agents currently, previously they did. I assume what ever is occurring here is more control plane related than host specific.
LilBytes··on GitHub Actions Down / Degraded
Seems to be something broken in Azure DevOps too:

Edit: Must be something bigger than just the MS/Github hosted agents. Can't trigger builds or deploys on my self hosted agents either. Control plane issues perhaps.

LilBytes··on LastPass says DevOps engineer’s hacked computer led to security breach in 2022
Am I assuming in this case the engineer was using his home PC to work?

This isn't unheard of in the industry, Engineers using BYOD devices or similar to work from home. But with a company with a risk profile as high as LastPass this seems _incredibly dumb_.

You would assume anyone with the keys to the kingdom was working on a company provided device, or any device that fits a compliance framework based on their own risk needs (which should be massive!).

E.g., endpoint management, AV/detection, FIDO2 with Yubikeys to access AWS as an admin and otherwise. Just a few off the top of my head.
