Sounds like Russia is a little on cash…

This is example 4664336 of a for profit company pulling the rug from underneath an open source project. It’a becomes a genuine risk as every time the mask comes off, you know it’s going to be ugly.

While they are at it take a look at car manufacturers too.

Yepp those are for sure valid points. Seems that it’s not such a “high” prio for our Trump lover.

As much as I hate Elon for all the shit he says and does, but it also shows the sanctioning for stuff like this is not waterproof. These units can be bought by company X in country X and sells it to company Y in country Y who is friendly with Russia. Also depending where they get launched from (for example from occupied Ukraine) it makes it also difficult to tell “friend” from “foe”. Can that be prevented ? Probably, but it’s not as straightforward as armchair generals may make it sound.

Now, could spaceX do something more about this ? Most likely. But that is resources you need to put on this, which is not profitable. So long story short. It’s more than Elon bad here.

Kind of odd that some of these x650e boards are so extremely expensive (like MSI’s MEG godlike and Asus ROG Cross hair) that you are better off with a threadripper workstation board and CPU.

Take a look at netbird or tailscale

Yes, but that has its limitations to my knowledge. One of them is streams will be at a lower 720p. To tinker around it will work, but it will not be a fire and forget solution

I drive Arch btw™

He is a supply chain guy. He did a tremendous job on making sure you need for every single thing on an apple device either an adapter or a repair that cost more than the device itself. Since Tim took over, the only noticable succeful disruption from a technological perspective is Apples M silicon. The rest is old wine in new bottles. For the rest its upselling and people that are crazy enough to put 1200 dollar/euro down for a phone or an 8gbyte RAM Mac. And to be straight, I have no problems with that. But there might be a time where Apple ends up in that same corner.

As much as I am an AMD fanboy, we need Intel in this game or AMD will turn into Intel from a few years ago.

This happens when a MBA CEO ran an engineering company. Where did we hear that before?.. Something something Boeing.

You gotta be a special kind of sad to DDoS archive.org…

It’s clear this is a long in advanced supply chain attack. So this is for sure not a lone wolf thing. Parts of it were very thought through but just came comically to light.

Yes history shown the US has been doing naughty things revealed by Snowden but we can’t come to conclusions yet, since nothing is yet been proven (if it ever will be). Long story short blaming somebody (regardless who) makes no sense at this moment.

You have any source for this or is this your (robotic) trolling (algorithmic) opinion ?

For sure. It’s basically a NAS software appliance. You just need to bring your own x86 hardware. Truenas core was good, but they will stop actively developing soon in favor for scale.

I have it running both hardware (backup) as well as virtualized (with a special sas/sata card as PCI pass thru). Works like a charm.

Not to mention the sheer amount of security vulnerabilities they constantly have in their products. I never recommend QNAP for that reason. Out of the box solutions I only recommend Synology. Selfbuild route is uraid and my personal fav. Truenas scale.

Every year, around Christmas I donate to a project that I use a lot. Also some projects more than once (wikipedia, Signal)
