@diegovsky and it was written using an upsilon. Extra points for knowing Latin.

@xahteiwi Do banking apps complain about having an unlocked boot loader?

@wirepair miniature floppy disks, right next to the battery. On quiet nights, if you put your ear to it while it's exporting, you can hear the ZZZ tc tc tc tc tc ZZZ tc tc tc *CLICK*They forgot to compress the data using ARJ, so it takes a bit longer.

@xahteiwi what's their personal contribution that warrants that huge income? Their salary alone can cover yearly operational costs for small (up to 50 people) companies. People that actually implement things.I get CEOs that are paid in stock options. If the company does well and they decide to sell. But actual cash salary... That would mean that their personal contribution to the company generated way more than their salary. What were those contributions? Genuinely curious.

A while back, I wrote a small project for fun, that works like ngrok/serveo. It has a SSH server written in Go, that just does port forwarding.Now, this server doesn't support password authentication, but I did enable the password auth callback, so I can log the IP, username and passwords used by brute force attempts.I created some graphs from the data. Top 10 countries, top 10 usernames, top 10 passwords and attempts for the past 30 days.

The most persistent IP address tried to log in for a total of 30.403 times. It is an Amazon EC2 instance in Germany. Runner up tried a total of 29.470 times. Top 5 (excluding the actual IP):sqlite> select country,attempts from remote_addresses order by attempts DESC limit 5;Germany|30403Indonesia|29470Brazil|28807China|27238Brazil|19528Dataset starts on August 8 2023.I need to aggregate IPs into subnets and run a whois. Curious which ISPs are the most popular.

@tychotithonus @robertatcara The curse of preventative measures. If you prevent a disaster, people start thinking that the disaster would never have happened anyway and everyone just overreacted.This happens with cyber security, site reliability work, vaccinations, you name it. We get a false sense of security when the people that work tirelessly (and most times thanklessly) keep the stuff we use, running.

@xahteiwi Coffee tastes better when using a manual espresso machine.Also, taking the time to grind the coffee, manually adding and pressing it down, timing the water flow. Clears your head. At the end it feels like you made it. Not some automated coffee shop.On the other hand, it's also nice to have a machine do all the work when you get up in the morning and barely feel human before the first cup of ☕.

@nixCraft one of the reasons I love Go is the great tooling around it. The gopls language server gives you great feedback when typing. If you have a syntax error, it tells you. Compiling will always work on the first try.On the other hand, if I don't use it and it compiles in the first try, I always wear a helmet that day. Because clearly I used up all my karma on that, and it's better to be safe in case the universe tries to balance out things in its usual troll fashion.

@ThePlant back home, I'd be considered right leaning. In the US I'd be on the left. I can only imagine how far right the right is in the US.
