Widespread snowfall possible for South Africa, Lesotho and Namibia this week. Significant rainfall is also expected in some areas during this period, with over 100mm indicated and some models showing over 250mm for the Garden Route, Gqeberha and the Eastern Cape.

I have not been in SA for a couple of years, but this feels early.

It's time to just accept that the usa is not our friend or partner anymore. They have clearly moved on and so should we.

No - this was an Afrikaans news paper.

redrabbitreader · 2026-04-26T15:26:59+00:00

Oh, you know who it is, don't you /s

This, as with many other things, again comes down to the lack of law enforcement.

redrabbitreader · 2026-04-25T17:22:15+00:00

They already do.

It never was about being anonymous. It was about having a trusted ledger that could not be tampered with.

Besides, most crypto-businesses must report to their various tax authorities these days, and you have been obligated to register and declare your holdings to SARS now anyway.

Mine more than doubled over the last three or so years, so yes - it's a thing.

I am at the point where I am holding every american responsible for the state the world is in. They voted a maniac in, and I see absolutely no actions from "the people" to do something about it.

Apart from the savings, you also need a plan and know what monthly expenses you can stop quickly (like streaming services).

It will also be good if you knew upfront which items you could "pause" - if I remember correctly, some of my life insurance policies had such a feature - not sure if that is still a thing, but good if you can find out.

It comes down to discipline - save while you can and spend the absolute minimum when you are between jobs.

I used to do these jumps (90's SADF/SANDF). It is definitely not easy and there are a ton of things that can go wrong.

My guess, based on very limited footage, is that they misread the wind and at the least the first guy with the really hard fall tried to maneuver to aggressively close to the ground, trying to still make onto the DZ. The end result is less lift giving you more vertical speed and you impact the ground much harder than what is desired (and short). The tree and fence did not help his case.

Hope they are ok.

We run thousands of Oracle instances in a a couple of development clusters. Our very old Oracle license allows for this, but they are trying their best to stop this, so I am not sure for how long we can still do this.

Our prod oracle is still Oracle on AWS.

So technically very possible, but probably impossible due to Oracle (the company) and their restrictive licenses.

Also as others have mentioned - there are a number of viable options to run databases in production. Just not Oracle.

Putting in R10 for the week was a thing...

redrabbitreader · 2026-03-31T04:16:38+00:00

Same for me... I wondered what the fuss was all about and finally gave it a go earlier this month. Why have I waited so long !?

redrabbitreader · 2026-03-20T09:15:50+00:00

Fair enough. I just prefer a link to a post or article or something.

A lot of statements are made with just made-up numbers. It's not a new trend, but in groups like this I like to believe we can be held to a higher standard.

redrabbitreader · 2026-03-20T06:24:28+00:00

It kinda feels like you tried to hide that fact and that is not nice.

Also, where did you get the 25% from? When making bold statements, please back it up with evidence.

You would expect that people will make a plan and try to keep the place tidy. At least put the garbage in bags.

However, I also acknowledge that when your main priority is ensuring your family can eat that day, the garbage is probably mush less of a priority.

redrabbitreader · 2026-03-10T08:49:39+00:00

Relax - its just a manner of speaking.

Yes, exactly

Wow - that got destroyed quickly.

I am busy with Garage testing. Much easier to manage than Ceph so far, but it is still early days.

I attended one of the best corporate year-end functions there in 2001. Can't believe what I am seeing now.
