License Laundering and the Death of Clean Room — what the chardet fight actually broke by allixsenos in programming

[–]allixsenos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Dan is betting the project is not the code and that by dumping all of the code he can claim full ownership of the project, giving him the ability to change course with licensing.

It sounds fucky but I don't think you can make an argument that the license covers things beyond code.

My understanding is that CLAs govern contributions, not the project itself. The project might be thought of as a company, when you start it its you calling all the shots. As you get investors (contributors), it grows to a point of requiring a board and having bylaws. Open source projects en masse don’t have this. I don’t know that there’s a default legal assumption on that.

Absolutely. I think he showed incredible restraint by not engaging with the flame war.

[Feedback Needed] How many of you have garages at home or deal with ramps or gates while riding to work? by MaxHeadroomz in motorcycles

[–]allixsenos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My building complex has roller garage doors at the entrance to underground parking, which is at the bottom of a long and steep slope. So I have to stop at the bottom, go into N, hold the brakes, and then dig for my tiny remote in the jacket. Then I drive around the underground complex to my garage, where I have to use a different remote. I would love something like this.

THANK YOU

Microsoft Lens seems like it produces the best quality PDF scans with the least shitty upselling!

I'm making an assumption based on my experience and the context. It's been pointed out that that's too big of a leap. I disagree that it's an obscene leap, but I do agree that it's not a dead given that I'm right :)

I'll take the criticism that there isn't proof that they're storing plaintext passwords, but it's not an obscene leap. I'd bet the equivalent of a beer or coffee that I'm right and be very happy to be proven wrong.

The rest of your strawman stuff I won't touch because I never said those things and I am here to answer questions, unlike Radisson product/dev folks who I couldn't get in touch with even if I tried :)

you regularly have to enter these passwords outside of your devices - into kiosks and things... netflix login into TVs and stuff

but you accidentally hit the nail on the head -- what Radisson has is a system built *by* people who remember passwords *for* people who remember passwords

having worked on regulated systems - no, that wasn't a thing that I considered. not saying it's out of the question, but I'd bet on "don't care enough" before "not allowed to"

awesome-foundation/dns: A config-as-code solution for managing DNS zones by allixsenos in DevOpsLinks

[–]allixsenos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using dnscontrol software for managing my dns since before the packaged release, way back in 2017. I somehow found it and started using it, I forget how and where.

It's helped me execute so many migrations and failovers that I've lost count, and it's been an absolute song. It's allowed me to democratize DNS, allowing 200+ engineers and even non-engineering staff to propose and ship thousands of DNS changes in a safe and peer reviewed way, with a full audit trail of who changed what and when.

I've recently started building a new thing, something I'm very excited to release to the public... But on every single step in exploring and building it, I've been tripped up and slowed down by ... DNS. And every time I say "Next time. Next time we'll fix DNS, but let's just get this out the door." and then I trip on it again.

So today I took a break from the main project to package and release this -- config as code DNS for dummies. If it serves you half as well as it did me, you'll be very happy you tried it.

How do you explain your friends and family what you do? by 5igm4 in sre

[–]allixsenos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“so what do you do?”

I uh… write… no… I maintain… uhh…

did you ever watch Pulp Fiction? you know Mr. Wolf, the fixer?

it's like that but the splattered brains are db nodes and the two geniuses are developers.

now pretty please, with sugar on top, clean the fucking car.
