permalac··on Gmail registration now requires scanning a QR code and sending a text message
Used them both for years.

Outlook eats Gmail for breakfast. The way shared accounts, lists, and work assignments are done in Outlook require their backend (share point inheritance), and google drive is pretty good even for some small files, but when all is considered O365 wins.

Then if you are in Europe, you should not use any of those and other very good solutions are currently growing super fast.

permalac··on Recovering files from beyond the grave using PhotoRec
I'm currently working on a tui which includes photorec and foremost among others.

I have also created my first dockerhub image, as the plan is to run it as container on top of a zfs in Truenas.

I'm basically on a hunt for all data, I have 7 disks and some USB that I have imaged and I need to get data out, and I will need to organised all that data (this part is still a work in progress), ideas welcomed.

That is correct.
permalac··on Google open-sources experimental agent orchestration testbed Scion
I'm proud to say I retired more k8s clusters than I created. And I've created 5 production ones, still in production.

One that I retired was used for serving ftp(among other transfer stuff), ftp of all things, it needs to have ports open and routed back from the client. And for extra points they had the pods capped at 1 cpu. And I had to explain the thing to the perpetrator and their boss, madness.

permalac··on Are We Idiocracy Yet?
Hold on. Turns out some scientists found out the amount of plastic was over measured because it included the plastic of their own gloves. I've read it last week, can not found the source now. Sorry
permalac··on Artemis II Launch Day Updates
That logic is very short term and while comical isn't close to reality.

I hope you live a long and prosper life so you can see the consequences of this presidential term fully unfold.

permalac··on I'm OK being left behind, thanks
I understand your point. And I agree on people without life changing fluctuations in currency will hardly understand that side of bitcoin value.
permalac··on Qatar helium shutdown puts chip supply chain on a two-week clock
I did some research.

They were shutting down because of lack of gas. They secured some, so they will not shut down, only operate at 60% capacity.

If they shut down they represent less than 1% of world production.

permalac··on What we talk about when we talk about sideloading
Android users will at some point next year not be able to install software unless the developer has paid and registered itsef with Google, and Google has approved the developer and the software (for an uncertain amount of time).

That is not nice.

Flock can be used in a single line for example for cronjobs.

Flock -s file && script.

Pretty simple. (I forgot the argument, I think is -s..

permalac··on The probability of a hash collision (2022)
Honest question.

How does one write something like this?

I get the interest, and the review process. What I mean is, is this a hobby where someone is passionate about soothing, or does some employers allow people to work on side projects?

I feel my life is mostly about direct value, and I don't really understand where I went wrong in the path for meaningful knowledge.

Any philosophical help will be very welcome, as you correctly guest I'm a bit lost.

permalac··on Mozilla to shut down Pocket and Fakespot
I'll miss it dearly. I use it to sync articles to kobo, almost daily. I don't even knew they were thinking on pulling the plug. I don't know of any alternatives. I'll be happy to self host if I can sync with kobo.
permalac··on $70M in 60 Seconds: How Insider Info Helped Someone 28x Their Money
Is kind funny when you see who is lost. I though even the most trumper had seen the light, but is clear their delusion is strong.

permalac··on Christine Lagarde wants EU to ditch Visa, Mastercard for own platform
Take the following with a pinch of salt.

Wasn't Bull SAS, French IT now in Atos(Eviden) the initial patent owner for the chip we all carry on our cards and phones? IIRC USA didn't want to use it unless a US company owned it, so visa or master bought the patent from Bull and they extended it around the word.

I don't know how to feel about that.

permalac··on Ask HN: What is the most useless project you have worked on?
That happened in my company. The CIO left bragging about implementing itil on servicenow. What they did was replacing RT for servicenow, and only for some ticketing queues. Nothing else, no change management, no cmdb, only an incident and non standard requests queues.

128k/ year, while RT still runs in a VM for all the other ticketing queues.

Lots of powerpoints.
