Always eat your greens!
Yeah…and I suppose they all hauled ass out of there because their company was doing so incredibly well and they felt super optimistic about the near future?
Also, if you can’t make a chatbot BF/GF company profitable, that’s a pretty damning signal for the industry as a whole, certainly from an end-user perspective.
It might be happening finally. All it takes is one domino that’s just big enough to knock over the next one…
What’s this? An overabundance of fossil fuel use across the country?? This massive buildout of gas power plants oughta put a stop to that!
Monero is the only crypto currency I believe in.
I drove my FX-8320 into the ground through college and a few years beyond. That poor little chip got tortured with so much voltage…
My 5800X3D will be in my maxed out AM4 rig for a looonnnggg time.
I’m so glad I didn’t listen to people online about staying on the “dead” AM4 socket for my rig upgrade two years ago. My 5800X3D might end up being the best value purchase I’ve ever made…
If I’m going to have to host my own infrastructure, I don’t want it tied to Bitwarden, given the new direction of the company.
I fully support Vaultwarden though, and I wish them well.
I’ll be going with KeyPassXC and Syncthing.
Well, we all know how this ends…
It’s a really sad day for me, I love Bitwarden, it’s easily the best password manager I’ve used, and I’m in IT, I’ve used a bunch.
Fuck private equity, fuck it to death. But until then, I’ll be moving my test setup for KeyPassXC into production over the coming weeks and months.
I was happily subscribed to Bitwarden for years for my personal account, I moved several people and a whole company onto it’s platform. We had a good run, time to move on.
If I had a dollar for every time I’ve encountered things in IT that “should be easy to XYZ…” That actually were a nightmare to deal with, I’d damn near be retired already.
And you’re 100% correct about Microsoft products. I’ll give you 1 guess what company was bragging loudly earlier this year about how much AI-generated code their software engineers are using.
I know they are talking about PSDs, they listed it in their test suite. I read it as the test working for all but a few tools, but I guess they could just be talking about coverage.
Either way, it still does and will suffer from all the same issues I listed in my comment.
Mixed for us, some of the new hires are quite experienced, some are kids straight out of school. Overall a younger crowd, (mid 20’s - early 30’s)
It does require a lot skills-wise though, and it’s the most intense team in our department IMO. They are always on-call and constantly dealing with high priority threats. I wouldn’t want that kind of pressure all the time personally, but they make a good chunk more money than I do as a sysadmin, so there’s positives and negatives.
From their own documentation:
opening and re-saving a document renders the same for 307 of the 309 files in the psd-tools test set and 169 of 170 in our mixed ag-psd/psd-tools set
Just what I want in my editing software, the assurance that my saved files will mostly render properly when reopened in the same program…
This is exactly what will sink any attempts to do similar things, it’s not the broad functionality of the software, it’s all the billions of edge cases.
The LLMs will be able to get all the general requirements mostly right, and that’s where it will stop. The subtle errors and bugs will pile up steadily as the codebase grows too large and complex for even frontier models to accurately summarize, and the people who vibed it to begin with don’t actually understand what is happening, so they can’t troubleshoot effectively.
Automated bug reports will pile up, agents will be dispatched in greater numbers, leading to cost issues and further complicating and compounding the errors in a bloated and convoluted codebase. The leads of the project will get burned out and abandon the project, leaving a giant, rotting, husk behind. Software that was forever, “almost working properly.”
I work at a top 50 credit union in the USA, total opposite around here. We just added multiple CyberSec analysts and Cyber fraud analysts in the last 12 months and we are still looking for more.
Everybody I know at other community banks and credit unions is doing the same, infosec is booming.
There are different reasons to run different things. Some apps are not able to be run as containers, or don’t make sense to run containerized.
VMs offer better isolation between systems, which is important for high-security applications.
Traditional Hypervisors also allow you to easily run fleets of completely different OSes on the same hardware, which you can’t do with containers.
On the other hand, if you want/need high scalability, extremely efficient resource usage, and you don’t need to run radically different OS environments simultaneously, containers, especially Docker containers or Podman containers are a great choice.
Incus containers are a great middle ground that I’m a fan of more than Docker/podman containers or traditional VMs. They are system containers, vs application containers like Docker/Podman.
That means they are actually full-fledged Linux distros by default, but are still much smaller than a traditional VM.
Also, for any of these solutions, if you’re constantly doing admin tasks manually, you’re doing it wrong. All modern platforms have APIs or other ways to interact with them via code.
For my own setup, I have everything. My main server runs XCP-ng for the hypervisor, and I have several traditional VMs on it, including my primary NAS. I also run a virtual Incus host that I have my Minecraft server running in, and some random other system containers. I have a Docker host VM, but I don’t really use it.
I also have my home media server which is a standalone system running TrueNAS on bare metal with Tailscale and Jellyfin running as Docker containers within TrueNAS.
My setup is messy because it has been built slowly over several years, and I don’t have enough time or energy to rip it all down and put it back together in a more optimal way.
Oh yeah, great, sounds awesome. Can I get in line now to not use it?
Whatever their rebrand is these days lol.
Tailscale or Netbird literally take 15 minutes tops to set up and get working. Then you just pick whatever services like SSH you want to use, have them accept connections only from Tailscale/Netbird IPs, and you’re gold.
I use Tailscale on my entire home lab, and with my friends and family for everything from Minecraft, to accessing my Jellyfin home media server, to accessing my parent’s home PC across the country to check updates and backups.
Fast, easy, free, and secure.
