Data Centers Are Facing a Climate Crisis | WIRED UK
When record temperatures wracked the UK in late July, Google Cloud’s data centers in London went offline for a day, due to cooling failures. The impact wasn’t limited to those near the center: That particular location services customers in the US and Pacific region, with outages limiting their access to key Google services for hours. Oracle’s cloud-based data center in the capital was also struck down by the heat, causing outages for US customers. Oracle blamed “unseasonal temperatures” for the blackout.
Cloud evaporates ?
Caveat Emptor.

To paraphrase Monty Python, "Nobody expects high temperatures". Given your location maybe you could offer them some space in your shed.

This is a major release including a ton of new features, improvements, optimizations, bug fixes and many refactorings to also reflect the new project structure and organization It takes a village to write a toolkit

I can see future giga codebase being even more mystifying for maintainer with that toolkit..

What Super Loyd said, and it's so annoying reading these posts about some new-fangled thing. Could you please announce your fangle by starting with answering this fundamental question: "Why do you need this?" And the answer should not be "Because the mountain was there."

It's just another product that they'll abandon in two years.

Smart App Control, a Windows 11 security feature that blocks threats at the process level, now comes with support for blocking several file types threat actors have recently adopted to infect targets with malware in phishing attacks. Which makes up for Silly User (lack of) Control, that clicks on those files

My experience is that "The authentic interactions between patients and humans will leave us worse off than when we started." This is based on the personal experience of someone I know who has clinical depression and the doctor is an idiot.

How best to punish spammers? I give this topic a lot of thought because I spend a lot of time sifting through the endless rubbish they send me. "Fire, to destroy all you've done Fire, to end all you've become"

Hmph. Frist of all, you cannot invite the actual spammer to hell when he used a forged email address.
How many spammers use their real email address?
Oh sanctissimi Wilhelmus, Theodorus, et Fredericus!

A new botnet called 'RapperBot' is being used in attacks since mid-June 2022, focusing on brute-forcing its way into Linux SSH servers to establish a foothold on the device. "Stick your head in a bucket of... SSHhhhhaving cream, be nice and clean Shave every day and you'll always look keen."

:facepalm: Allowing password authentication in SSH is like securing the vault with a ziptie. Secure key exchange is not that hard.
And yes, the number of password-based logon attempts on my server has recently gone from about 10 or 20 a day to 500+.
If I used port 22 and didn't use fail2ban, I hate to think how many it would be.

When you have multiple instances of Visual Studio open at the same time, it can be tricky to tell them apart. I hear the mauve VS goes faster

Microsoft is seemingly readying a new Designer tool that looks like a Canva competitor, as well as a Create app/site for templates. Does it do icons?

Microsoft is taking a holistic direction in its security measures, covering the entire spectrum with a team that is working to stop vulnerabilities before they even spawn, eliminating code flaws before they reach your computer and the prying keyboards of hackers across the globe. You gonna need a bigger team

As long as they don't get the people from the Icons or the Updates departments...

A multidisciplinary team of researchers from MIT and elsewhere, has used a neural network model to solve university-level math problems in a few seconds at a human level. If Skynet is expanding from LA at 30 km/hour and Shodan is expanding from NY at 25 km/hour, who will launch all the nukes from Minot first?
Remember to show your work!
