Sort of related, I was fact checking some of the content on my own website that had been provided by someone who later turned out to be less than reliable.

There was one claim I was completely unable to find a source for and suspected it was an AI hallucination. Turned to chatgpt and tried to find a source with that and it provided nearly the exact same sentence and cited my website as the source thus completing the hallucination cycle.

I just deleted it all from my site and started over.

I have to use windows at work, have 32gb and regularly get browser tabs unloaded for low memory. I'm not running VMs or anything. Usually just Firefox, visual studio, and slack.

Personal computer is Linux with 16gb and that's more than enough.

I've found the same thing. I've turned off the auto suggestions while tying because by the time I'm typing i already know what I'm going I'm to type and having mostly incorrect suggestions popping up every 2 seconds was distracting and counterproductive.

Built mine about 12 years old before YouTube existed. Honestly can't remember where i learned. I think i just guessed. I'd previously taken apart my parents because i was that kind of kid so that's probably it. There's not many things that can go in the wrong place and cause damage.

My dad saw me doing it and quit his job as a butcher to start a business doing pc repairs and sales. This was around 2001.

I had the same issue which is by I don't self host bitwarden. If my house burned down the same day Bitwarden had a catastrophic outage I'd probably have issues but that seems unlikely.

Came back to my car the other day to find one of the trucks parked to me. Could barely squeeze into my car then it was 2m longer than my car and so much higher i literally couldn't see a thing to drive out.

Had to creep forward but i had zero visibility until my driver window was past the front of the truck. It then stuck out the space so much i needed a 3 point turn to get around it due to cars parked opposite.

I was at end of the row so had to turn across it to get out. Just totally unsafe for anyone not inside it!

Years ago now, they pushed an offer for lifetime subscription onto my server. I clicked it, went through to their website and bought it, paid, the subscription activated and worked.

The next day they emailed to say actually i wasn't eligible for the offer, they cancelled it and refunded me and said it would actually cost $30 more.

I installed Jellyfin that same day, it was pretty buggy back then but was definitely the right decision.

Yes, you need the sandboxed Play services and have to gove it a few extra permissions but it works fine after that.

Helped a disabled pensioner recently with her phone that kept plaging loud obnoxious ads at her even while locked.

She had 4 different "virus scanners" that were all fake adware.

I speed ran this. First job right out of uni, the team lead went on holiday 2 weeks later and never came back. Everyone else was gone within 3 months.

Bought a new dryer recently and ended paying more for one that didn't have internet connectivity. It's entire operation requires physical presence, why would i need ever need remote access. It's just something else to go wrong.

It doesn't say that. The potential fine the higher of 23M or 10%. Not that 23M is 10%

 

We're using Terraform to manage our AWS infrastructure and the state itself is also in AWS. We've got 2 separate accounts for test and prod and each has an S3 bucket with the state files for those accounts.

We're not setting up alternate regions for disaster recovery and it's got me wondering if the region the terraform S3 bucket is in goes down then we won't be able to deploy anything with terraform.

So what's the best practice for this? Should we have a bucket in every region with the state files for the projects in that region but then that doesn't work for multi-region deployments.
