The five-assed monkey of cert lifetimes.
As useless measures go this will certainly be one; especially while CRLs are a thing.

Ha ha ha.
I love how lennart’s cancer tries to replicate fucking syslog and it’s this bad. What a mess the kids worship.
- Comment on Finding a private self hosted Google Photos alternative that doesn’t profit from my photos 3 days ago:
Every part of what you just said can be encapsulated in proper packaging so you don’t even need to care – about pre/post upgrades, or even dependencies and checks before it starts.
The lack of a proper release is the absolute only thing keeping me from using it.

- Comment on Epic CEO wants Valve and Steam to stop requiring devs to disclose generative AI usage 4 days ago:
avoid games/etc over AI content, and the actual AI content is really minor
There’s no gradient for how much Ai goes into a game, so a little taint qualifies as diseased.
- Comment on GitHub - DioCrafts/OxiCloud: ☁️ OxiCloud server, efficient and secure way to save all your data 4 days ago:
The installation workflow begs for supply-chain exploits. Given this and its oob install, it probably breaks iso27002 as well.
I’ll wait. NextCloud and OwnCloud both have 27002-compliant installs (the latter next some review), so I need to stick with those.

I can deduce it right from a receipt, if they give you one.

- Comment on Bad experience on selfhosting nextcloud 1 week ago:
OCIS is a modern app that is massively better since its written with modern languages / frameworks
Ah, the sparkle makes it better? I know a guy who made his RAM light up in his plexiglas case, and claims it made the computer faster. Same deal?
OCIS talks a good talk, almost suggesting it’s enterprise and scalable and such, but it still suffers from the same supply-chain risk that all the black-box container miasma does, and the same “just get your kerbal space shuttle launching and then you too can host this awesome simple install” math. The ‘single black-box binary’ isn’t a good fall-back measure.
Now, I realize I’ve cast aspersions on our holy neu-paradigm installation fad, and I get the downvotes. If people don’t understand why validation is an important part of the validation-proves-consistency-thus-reliability of enterprise build/release, that’s okay. Most people don’t know they even need proper releng practice anyway, but may react with downvotes. But we need to do better where it matters; and that’s a line that’s going to seem as arbitrary as a bedtime is to a tween.
- Comment on So now that it's that time of year again in the US, what are some tips and tricks for dealing with that one relative who goes on about the same bullshit for hours and won't shut the fuck up? 1 week ago:
One of my favourite things to do at a holiday get-together is hijack the TV with my MacBook. Most people think Apple stuff only talks to other Apple stuff in the Ecosystem/Walled Garden and that Android is some rebel front against Apple
Are the vegans taking all the spotlight?
My mom, my aunt, my cousin all get together for coffee, and “why the new iphone sucks” has been a perennial topic. They all have the new swoopy ones, and they all hate 'em. It’s been that way since the non-intuitive gesture change was implemented, so, what; a decade?
- Comment on !@$& Homelab Networking 1 week ago:
This. If I pay the cost in frustration and anguish and soul-searching and demanding justice from an uncaring god, I want some thing for it. I want documentation. I want my lessons learned from the post incident review. I want something I can hack into mgmtConfig to make sure nothing else will do that too.
Struggling for no payoff is the absolute worst thing.

A big anthology of paraphrased parables mixed with rants, all from different writers and then edited by the Greeks? Sounds about right.

- Comment on Microsoft finally admits almost all major Windows 11 core features are broken 1 week ago:
It’s amazing how a second or 5 at so many levels causes micro-frustration. And it builds up, too.
I admit I lose just a bit of my shit when the neu web-service web-apps get sluggish, which seems to be very often. Those of us who remember the halcyon days where things were responsive on a pentium know better than to accept the current mess.
My tolerance for the poor performance and saas-linked core services is rapidly waning.

What you get is something with an acceptable warranty and maybe some support.

Is this “git gud”, victim blaming, or a mix of both?
You’d think if there was a janky bit of gear in there
- Windows would tell you about it
- Linux would suck the same.
Neither appear to be the case.
- Comment on Windows 11 could actually become the same kind of mistake Sony made with the PS3 2 weeks ago:
they did manage to win the Blu-ray vs hd-dvd format wars
They didn’t win them: they bought them. Blu-ray won via payola more than popularity or technical superiority. HDDVD has way better error correction and thus longevity, but you can see why corpos wouldn’t want that at the peak of the planned obsolescence / e-waste years.

- Comment on People are playing fewer games and new releases are "struggling", say Ubisoft UK, warning of falling revenues 2 weeks ago:
I’m pretty sure Ubisoft isn’t the company you go to for a focus on the customer and a thumb on the pulse of the industry. They were one of the first to require this authenticated umbilical to their servers or the game would crash, while operating from a country and era where internet wasn’t 100% solid. Many non-urban areas around me now will suffer disconnections and blips constantly as over-used infrastructure drops a random packet here and there. They know this, they knew this, and still.
Given they’ve always presented a little self-centered, I can imagine what they’re really saying is that from their point of view that Ubisoft is struggling because their customer base is dwindling from a lack of stable, playable games.
- Comment on Is Perplexity the first AI unicorn to fail? 2 weeks ago:
does anyone else feel like this article is missing punctuation or something
Definitely. But, given most of the glitches are comma splice, joinwords, or just plain punctuation missing, is this the best venue to point that out? The only thing worse than the punctuation here is the apologists.

Ah. The Barney Miller funk setting on the Roland. Nice find.
I’m stumped, but now I’m on a mission.

Madonna? I think they remixed the absolute hell out of this, so you may be thinking of some over-produced derivative from a coattail-riding DJ as well.
