I grew up in Stubaital, a valley in Austria. It was only a few years ago that I realized Wuppertal isn't a valley but a city.
Why isn't it called Wupperstadt?!

Jemand Tipps wie ich meinen Brother DCP-L3550CDW repariert bekomme?
Vermutlich ist ein Kondensator hinüber. Die letzten Male hat ein paar Stunden stromlos stehen lassen geholfen, dann konnte ich ihn wieder einschalten. Seit letzter Woche klappt das nicht mehr und er macht keinen Mucks, wenn das Stromkabel angeschlossen wird. Power-Button gedrückt halten vor und während dem einstecken hat nicht geklappt.

What's the best practice for running Composer audit in CI? We used to run it for every merge request, but that no longer scales given how often packages are updated due to security issues. Everything is now red and requires a lot of manual intervention to get the builds green again.
Should we run the audit command once per day, or what is recommended?…
There were some few big computers run by governments and companies. Hacking started when some younger people with (some temporary) access to computers use them creatively for other things during night shifts or by starting to build their own small computers¹.
Hacking was liberating technology from big corporations and government, from the ones in power for fun and creativity, to fight back.
TechBros try to see themselves in succession of these hackers, but they are the opposite:…

At this point, I started to look deeper at performance. Compute instance startup was taking over 30 seconds, and each generation propagation was about 55-75 seconds
I worked this from a few angles:
- parallelize actions (health checks, integrity checks, propagation initiation, and terminating ancestors) [30% gain]
- rebuild and reduce the AMI below Ubuntu minimal to fit in 2GiB EBS volumes (reduced cost and increased speed by also bundling the glider daemon and boto3 SDK in the AMI) [30% gain]
- switched from AWS CLI to boto3 SDK [5-10% gain]
- switched from CloudFormation creation stacks to using EC2 API directly with LaunchTemplate [under 5% gain total, surprisingly, but the time to initial instance startup is faster so I might be able to do better somewhere here]
- WIP: further refactoring of the daemon propagation steps especially around initial health/integrity checks
I still think I'm missing something major that's extending propagation times, despite benchmarking phases through several trials
I also optimized for cost (reduced DDB calls, abandoned KMS, reduced log & audit retention to the latest run, etc), and it's about a penny for a 10 generation run (and it scales sublinearly, mostly, since the instances are terminated afterwards)
I stopped recommending Proton after their CEO praised a decision of the Republican party in the USA and the company afterwards pleaded political neutrality.

Shopware 6: "Google says our sitemap is three months old" — no errors, the scheduled task looks healthy, regenerating even seems to work. It doesn't. One killed run can strand a lock with no expiry, silently blocking every regeneration after it. The one flag that breaks the spell.

I keep beating this drum, but...
It's.... Interesting that we're having an entire conversation about "AI alignment" when Sam Altman and Darius Amodei have flat out said that their goal is to make paperclips out of everything even if the human race goes extinct in the process.
Oh I'm sorry, dollars. They're making dollars, not paperclips. That changes everything, clearly.
...
What's more insidious is that even if you Luigi'd Altman and Amodei tomorrow, OpenAI and Anthropic would happily elect new leaders and continue with business as usual. There is no shortage of humans willing to step up and run the paperclip machines and who have the same misalignment issue (they're not actually a large percentage of humans, mind, but there are plenty of them). So the thing you have you defeat in order to stop the paperclipization is in fact a corporation (and the idea that wealth makes right behind it), not a human.
It's almost as if we're *already* locked in an existential battle with an inhuman entity whose effective goals are dangerously misaligned by nature... 🤔
...
I wonder if the same techniques used to defeat the entity already threatening us would work against the hypothetical threat it's waving around to distract us? Only one way to find out!

A group of men detained in Texas found a new way to communicate what they are going through in custody,

They compiled hundreds of pages of handwritten testimony and some hand-drawn art, and mailed it from inside the privately run ICE jail.
One man even wrote two protest songs and sang them over a crackly prison pay phone to the Guardian.
In a solemn and defiant tone, he sang from the perspective of one detainee to anot…

Man did I pick up a good book right now: The Yahoo Boys: Love, Deception, and the Real Lives of Nigeria's Romance Scammers
A journalist from Spain went to Nigeria and located a few Nigerian scammers that run all of these romance/gift card scams and wrote about who they are, how they get into it, how they live etc. It's a bit unreal how it's almost like a sport to these guys. Very fascinating.
It's says unreleased but somehow my library had this /shrug
I also optimized for usability, because I wanted a convenient set of Boolean attributes in a DynamoDB CONTROL table that I could use to bootstrap the first instance, disable propagation, and request cleanup (terminating final instances, clean up failures, etc). So there's several lambda scripts watching the DynamoDB Boolean attributes for changes.
Cleaning up after each trial run got annoying fast.

Increasingly of the belief that "can write to disk at all" is an unacceptable risk for a webapp. Whether session tokens or file uploads or body buffers or whatever. Leave all of that to a database or blob store or reverse proxy. Ideally, run the webapp in a container with a readonly filesystem.

The term "single use software" currently lives rent free in my head.
People use LLMs to create software specific for their needs. But neither can other people use it (hardcoded variables, no rights management, too specific), nor do they use it again (too specific, easier to produce a new one).
Single use software is not maintained. Nobody understands it or has an interest in keeping it working.
The creation of single use software feels cheap, but isn't. It tak…
