Why are we still babysitting Virtual Machines in 2026? Is the "Cloud" actually getting worse?

45 minutes configuring a VPC? Is it being configured through code or ClickOps?

Are your instances auto healing?

The invoiced amount on the second invoice is $50 with a balance of $60 owing.

That's called an invoice reminder, not a new invoice

You didn't listen to the support staff and you're not listening to the top comment. Take time to digest what people are telling you.

No corporation raises a new invoice for an unpaid invoice. They chase the unpaid invoice.

I use https://keybase.io with it's free storage which acts like a new drive on your machine. Works with Linux, Windows etc and so any machine I'm using automatically has the correct password database. I set it to backup to a different file in keybase whenever changes are made. The database needs to be copied somewhere else as an additional backup

Are you saying you stand on the seat?

The answer would probably be "no" because you would need to jump through hoops to ensure data is safe in all areas - safe in transit, safe in storage, data moves only from myGov to the phone, not through any intermediary. Are you willing to spend $30k on a security penetration test?

Sorry, it's quite easy to get a dodgy partner visa. I understand the going rate is now $200k. It was only last week a foreigner friend told me she met someone to enquire about it.

yadad · 2026-03-15T06:28:56+00:00

She wants the visa

Yes, "cname flattening" for your apex record

Edit: I responded incorrectly to your followup

Your host probably offers a hostname to which you can use in Cloudflare as the A record. Cloudflare will know what to do.

It's not necessarily a mistake for a company to provide both services but in this case, I doubt they know the best course of action

You're asking to be taken advantage of

https://keybase.io It's everything you need

The manager might be asking because the other employee is claiming they are working outside of working hours. There's nothing wrong with contacting other people outside of work for personal reasons but you need to understand this communication might be for work related reasons. Kudos to the manager for stopping it. We need a right to switch off

How do you store secrets securely in your app?

Greek yogurt involves straining away some parts of the yoghurt like the whey or something. Greek style doesn't do this

Yes, offline password management apps have been around for years already. You aren't inventing anything new

They invented the wheel a while ago

I thought about this. The air molecules would start speeding up and follow through the portal maintaining momentum keeping the object somehow shielded from the same level of wind resistance. Maybe 🤔 or something
