Oh shit! No dip!?

I always thought it would be…them. Exaclty them.

How dare you throw shade at my Great Lakes Avengers! lol.

I plan to operate on expired certificates for two to four years, forcing all three of my users to click past a terrible warning.

Then I will automate my six day certificate rotation with Ansible (officially), but maybe actually with a stupid bash script in CRON (unofficially).

The real value is in the agility needed to update certs every six days.

Six days is still too long to leave a compromised key in play, but anyone who can rotate their keys every six days can probably also rotate their keys quite quickly if there’s a comprise.

Says everything I need to know about the change.

All the joy of Steam, pumped directly into my eyeballs? Yes, please.

common: a technology that can be useful in some very specific niches, but is advertised as a solution to all problems in the world and

It is disappointing that, of the three, only NFTs fulfilled the promise and have solved literally every problem*.

Indeed! The old magiks were good enough. Thye young ones today could do well to learn some lines of command!

Yea. Slightly modified - “If conditions are now so prefect now that 8 billion humans can ask their computer nicely to program itself, and it works, then why is non-shit-tier software still vanishingly rare?”

Too much risk of fireball ear.

It’s fair game after getting legally married, though.

Not my living room. Nice try, fuckers.

Why does it cost so much to engineer new models?

We need at least two massive quantum leaps in quality before this stuff can be long-term profitable; and there probably simply aren’t two quantum leaps left in the current pathways being explored.

But turning off all the bots, contracts, and lies would cause the investment money to stop immediately, rather than later.

Everyone perpetrating this scam wants to cash out a tiny bit more before it crashes.

Right. But Fermi’s Paradox applies.

Everyone is buying and selling software miracle cure…but all of the software itself is still exaclty as healthy as a con artists prize race horse (not healthy, and actually a mule).

And a lot more money. And so much more power and water. And more data. And more money, too.

Back when marketing wisdom taught us that alienating 50% of potential buyers (it’s only for boys!) was the sure fire way to boost sales.

Still a cool toy, though.

“Except your four fastest ships?!”

“Well, naturally, not those four.”

I have decided it i’s time to simply quote obvious movie villain lies in response to headlines from oligarch illegal merger corporate assholes.

They probably live much longer.

But then that’s more years of not eating and drinking to excess…so I can see it both ways.

I was taught how to eat in school, from a food pyriamid modified by producers of breads, dairy and sugar. :(

Brief off-topic aside: This recurring thread has been a bright spot, for me, in a sad Internet, this year. Thank you.

As for what I’m playing - mostly Palworld. The late game has allowed me to try to breed perfect pals while getting as deep as I like into farm management and interior decorating. It’s been very fun. Well worth the sticker price.
