    It is my understanding that the only difference applies to hosted software. For example, Lemmy is AGPL. If it were GPL, then a company could take the source code, modify it and host their own version without open sourcing their modifications. AGPL extends to freedoms of GPL to users of hosted software as well.

    A real example of this would be truth social which is modified Mastodon and as AGPL those modifications are required to be open source as well.

    i used to use stack overflow a lot back in 2007/08 but i cant remember the last time i actually got an answer.

    it can barely get single functions correct but we're supposed to believe it can write entire systems from a single prompt? Either way our job at the moment is writing instructions for another piece of software (compiler) to turn into the code. This just adds another level of abstraction. High level programming languages already let us do more with fewer staff. It didn't make coders redundant, it let to even more software.

    edit: forgot to add, agree with your edit, that or just trying to inflate their stock prices.

    yeah this is my dog. at the vet last week he knew something was about to happen and was absolutely not interested in cheese.

    After he had his vaccines and it was all over, so much more relaxed, would eat cheese again.

    I was always told landlords deserve to extract profit from the economy for nothing because of the risk they take on. Yet time after time it seems like they can't possibly tolerate any risk at all.

    Been there many times. Had one case where support had to through the reseller who sold licenses in our country. Actual people who knew what they were talking about was tier 3.

    We had a bug and were trying to report it and get a fix or workaround. Just told no, we're doing it wrong. After a lot of back and forth we had to pay for an "expert" to fly over and show us what we were doing wrong. Turns out he wasn't an expert, he was a salesmen. Made a demo for us on the flight and the first time he ran it was in our meeting room on projector.

    Failed in exactly the way we had been saying. It was very satisfying.

    Finally he phoned the dev team who confirmed the docs were wrong and we couldn't do what we were trying.

    I think another key difference is everyone can use whatever tool they like and still work on the same codebase. They don't have proprietary file formats that lock in you and your entire team forever.

    Several years ago I was working on water sites and they didn't even have accurate info about the stuff on their own sites. The head office staff thought they did though. Just the computers did not match reality. Running many of the sites was entirely reliant on the knowledge of site operators who were all about to retire. There was no younger staff being taught anything either.

    Not really answering the question but have you ruled out medical issues? You could be describing our dog and it turned out he's got pretty bad hip dysplasia on both sides. Because both are bad he doesn't limp at all and the outward signs are really subtle but he's now on a bunch of pain killers and has gotten much better. He's also booked in for a hip replacement next month.

    I've worked on SCADA systems. The most the keyboard was used for was logging in then then putting something heavy on it stop the computer going to sleep. System was entirely controlled by the mouse and head office didn't consider that 1 person might be monitoring 4-6 computers on their own for an 8 hour shift and enforced a 5 minute idle lockout on all of them.

    I use restic but I switched from Borg because of the cloud features. Outside of that, there's not a lot of differences really. If you're happy with Borg keep with it.

    This doesn't really seem like a new problem. It wasn't so long ago that most news was disseminated in text form which has been easily faked forever. The solution should be improving the ways of verifying the information we receive. I guess the main difference now is most people would see a video on social media and believe it. 20-25 years ago I was taught not to believe everything you read online and that hasn't changed.

  • 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.
