That's at least better than a few weeks ago when they broke the microphone. Not audio completely, just the microphone, first in edge (lol), then in Firefox, then lastly in chrome while at the same time fixing it in Firefox.

Seriously you couldn't make this up. Nobody of those clowns has any idea what they're doing. Every time I see teams restarting I wonder what they fscked up now.

Msft teams in the browser now has the "take control" button. And to everybody's amazement it actually works. 🧐

To nobody's amazement they broke the calendar view in Firefox. 😒

Msft giveth and msft taketh away...

@selea yes I also run that. Small, lightweight, supports the h/w just fine.

Just one example: DNS.

DNS is a super lightweight UDP-based application protocol - one packet with a query, one packet with an answer, in 90+% of use cases. Boom you're done.

Now the DNS-over-https (DoH) abomination changes that to a very expensive TCP connection with TCP handshake, connection management, SSL handshake, the actual query/answer, and then tear everything back down.

@joby mh, turns out the video footage was (also?) from cameras located at tesla charging stations.

Another good reason to avoid them if you don't own/use a tesla.

@joby yes he can. No there are no checks and balances. He's the king, he can do as he pleases.

Basically I don't care what he does to his customers. What I do care about is the collateral that gets captured by those cameras. People that have no dealings with the fash car maker, yet still end up in his video (and most likely audio) hoard. 🤬

@aral picture of the year, on day 1. [mic drop]

@aral oh boy, another one lost to the #CasioCult hoarders. 😂

Get better soon! 🤞

@lanodan @quad I guess you're looking at replicating some data center infra at home.

First thing would be a UPS. Ideally two, one for your server(s) to bridge a 30 min glitch, and a second one with enough juice to keep your networking gear up for a day or so.

Next step is having some ilo/idrac capability on your server(s) so you can get things back on the rails if needed.

Wondering if a Proxmox cluster over Wireguard VPN would work. I guess it should, if slowly.

@slothrop indeed. Wife wants to watch some shmoozy BS on TV, I'll retreat to the man cave.

Right that's social expectations fulfilled for another year. 🖕

@freemo we pay quite a bit more taxes than you and I'm totally ok with that. It finances things that help social equality.

Tariffs are not the same thing as taxes. They can be used to combat unfair price dumping, like with Chinese EVs.

But they can also be used to unfairly favor companies that don't want or cannot compete. The problem is they disincentivise investments into production improvements. Meaning the moment they are lifted the companies are worse off than before.
@randahl

@freemo yes. It's called a trade war and everybody loses.

The problem for the US is that they piss everybody off while the EU has only one adversary (plus bootlickers like orban to a certain degree).
@randahl

@slothrop the Dutch are going to be massively pissed off for sure. 😄

@slothrop got the same. Block and mute.

@slothrop dunno about the horse but hell yeah let me get a free tractor for xmas and I'd be happy also. 😄

@nuintari @silverwizard infosec is a self-sustaining business model. Nobody is interested in draining the swamp that feeds them.

@slothrop and not have to live in another fundamentalist hellhole.

@jwildeboer well here you go with a couple of links:

https://elbil.no/english/norwegian-ev-policy/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_in_Norway

It may also be noteworthy that while electric generation is relatively very clean (due to the abundance of hydro energy for a small population), the industrial decarbonization is not quite as far along. It depends a lot on carbon credit trading and a carbon tax. The latter being very unpopular in all countries and already massively held against the Greens.

@jwildeboer well yeah but why is that? Because electric cars and electricity generation are massively subsidized. And how are they subsidized? Through oil and gas, of which Norway is one of the biggest exporters.

This is like Total Energies heating their office buildings electrically and giving their employees electric cars, while making billions selling their products so everybody else can pollute the planet.

Hypocrisy of the highest degree.
