Understandable, he was right very often and “only” his tone was…unfiltered. but I ignore the “was right” part when using that phrasing :)
I’d like to imagine that this would be close to the phrasing Linus himself would choose, although I could be off of course!
I really don’t enjoy Linus’ content without context I have to admit.
He was an absolute dipshit back then and he’s one of the few people I’ve read about who not only acknowledged that but also put effort into changing it - and succeeded.
Yeah the newer mails are not as funny to third parties anymore but I’m really happy for him and especially the kernel devs around him.
Oh yeah I see…
As some old philosopher once said: “shit’s fucked, yo”.
Seems to be appropriate here.
Because a security engineer focused on cloud would rightfully say “pod security is not my issue, I’m focused on protecting the rest of our world from each pod itself.”. With AWS as example: If they then analyze the IAM role structures and to deep into where the pod runs (e.g. shared ec2 vs eks) etc. then it would just be a matter of different focus.
Cloud security is focused on the infrastructure - looks like you’re looking for a security engineer focused on the dev side.
If they bring neither to the table then I’m with you - but I don’t see how “the cloud” is at fault here… especially for security the world as full of “following the script” people long before cloud was a thing.
I see two ways forward: either you’re risk averse and assume internal damages that will highly influence heat transfer or you trust in the automatic protection mechanisms or your CPU.
Personally I’d toss it but I’m old and I’ve burned more than one CPU back in the days with faulty or wrongly installed coolers.
I don’t think that the risk is high nowadays but I’m (literally) burned in that regard.
I’m not even sure it would survive bending back so perhaps try that first and if it breaks completely you don’t even have a decision on your hand :)
All the claims concerning telemetry in that thread are made by the person “asking” the question.
I don’t understand the intent of this post. It looks like you’re trying to start a rumor to be honest.
Telemetry in Thunderbird exists and is well documented. If someone is not happy with their engine or approach they need to switch clients and not basically tell them “I want you to rebuild everything around my nerds”.
You got a lot of relevant answers so I want to point out something else:
You’re hosting your own services. By yourself. Fuck everyone with a broom who tries to gatekeep that. And I don’t mean wooden side first.
Seriously, your question is on point here from my perspective and as long as it has a connection to running services by your own I personally would love more diversity in hosting solutions.
Personally, I’d love to see people share more about their provider agnostic opentofu deployment or someone who went all in on AWS lambdas for weird stuff.
One could argue they a reading service should not alter the thing that’s read. Android is not a quantum state!
