I'm thinking the same.. if I've fallen off a cliff or crashed my bike and broken my leg, possibly in shock too, I want something rugged & simple to activate like a PLB
There's the 't' series of instances that offer burstable CPU. AFAIK still 1:1 on memory though, and there's models that allow you to pay to stay un-throttled when using t family instances vs. getting throttled when out of burst credits.
This all happened less than 2 hours ago, but a quick summary is that my Certificate Transparency monitor, Cert Spotter (https://sslmate.com/certspotter) performs various sanity checks on every certificate that it observes. At 15:41 UTC today, I started getting alerts that certificates from Let's Encrypt were failing one particular check. I quickly emailed Let's Encrypt's problem reporting address, and Let's Encrypt promptly suspended issuance so they could investigate. I've lost count of how many CAs I've detected having this particular problem, so perhaps it is time to blog about it (https://www.agwa.name/blog if you're interested).
They "lint" certificates before issuance, as do most CAs. However, I don't think any linters check for this problem, as it requires access to more than just the certificate (the linter would need access to either the precertificate or a database of Certificate Transparency log keys).
We will add a lint to Boulder for precertificate and certificate correspondence to ensure this class of problem never happens again.
It would be nice to add this to Zlint, but we'd need a new interface that could be given both a precertificate and certificate to co-lint. Other than this one correspondence check, I'm not sure if there's any other lints that would fit that pattern.
Yeah I mean maybe mussolini liked to kick puppies too but I don't really need it as evidence of his character you know what I'm saying? The pfas stuff is so heinous it downplays it to even mention this other thing in the same context.
It would be nice for web apps to have a setting users (not only the developers) can enable that will allow closing the app's window without quitting the app, like a lot of native desktop apps behave (eg, Safari).
Maybe just me but the cloud desktops pricing still isn't all that attractive for some businesses to make a big shift to using them, but also not terrible for some businesses that could use the extra security or cloud environment benefits:
8hrs per workday for a 4 vCPU and 16 GB RAM = $217.36 per month[1]
How many big corps in the US (I live in the US so that’s my reference) are doing engineering hardware rotation at sub-2 years? Most are likely to be 3.
"Most" companies in the USA are on a 5-year laptop replacement cycle because that's what the IRS set the MACRS depreciation schedule to for "consumer electronics" (really, category 00.12 in Table B-1 of Publication 946). Each year following the purchase they can write off the following on their taxes:
Year 1: 20%
Year 2: 32%
Year 3: 19.20%
Year 4: 11.52%
Year 5: 11.52%
Year 6: 5.76%
Why accountants are actually in charge of the rate at which laptops get purchased, instead of just the paperwork for the tax deductions caused by the rate of laptop purchases....I truly do not understand.
