This.
You install a virus scanner on your smb fileshare or your mail server, for instance, and pipe attachments through it to protect windows boxes. That’s the only sensible use.
Yet, idiots make policies like “all servers must have AV installed for safety” and thus some shit app sucks down all the CPU time and scans memory (ohai PCI compliance) just because the CTO doesn’t know what ‘less’ does.
OCIS is a modern app that is massively better since its written with modern languages / frameworks
Ah, the sparkle makes it better? I know a guy who made his RAM light up in his plexiglas case, and claims it made the computer faster. Same deal?
OCIS talks a good talk, almost suggesting it’s enterprise and scalable and such, but it still suffers from the same supply-chain risk that all the black-box container miasma does, and the same “just get your kerbal space shuttle launching and then you too can host this awesome simple install” math. The ‘single black-box binary’ isn’t a good fall-back measure.
Now, I realize I’ve cast aspersions on our holy neu-paradigm installation fad, and I get the downvotes. If people don’t understand why validation is an important part of the validation-proves-consistency-thus-reliability of enterprise build/release, that’s okay. Most people don’t know they even need proper releng practice anyway, but may react with downvotes. But we need to do better where it matters; and that’s a line that’s going to seem as arbitrary as a bedtime is to a tween.
Kaspersky isn’t there to protect us; just to fill a niche and create business for itself. Idiot nepo CTOs who don’t know better can be coerced to sign a fud-based invoice and then they make bank.
Npm says what? Random appimages and flatpaks would like a word as well.
It’s true we generally need no antivirus - so far every demand to install one is rooted in stupidity, including policy built by stupidity - but we’re losing the struggle to not install random shit like idiots.
Appimages and flatpaks frustrate validation and thus break iso27002.
Anything else?
This. If I pay the cost in frustration and anguish and soul-searching and demanding justice from an uncaring god, I want something for it. I want documentation. I want my lessons learned from the post incident review. I want something I can hack into mgmtConfig to make sure nothing else will do that too.
Struggling for no payoff is the absolute worst thing.
It’s amazing how a second or 5 at so many levels causes micro-frustration. And it builds up, too.
I admit I lose just a bit of my shit when the neu web-service web-apps get sluggish, which seems to be very often. Those of us who remember the halcyon days where things were responsive on a pentium know better than to accept the current mess.
My tolerance for the poor performance and saas-linked core services is rapidly waning.
What you get is something with an acceptable warranty and maybe some support.
What you then realize is what you DON’T have on your consumer gear.
EWS came with Exchange 2007, almost 20 years ago!
Yay! Now do Windows and Syslog, or windows and SNMP.
So difficult to sync contacts and calendar
If only there was a well-defined protocol in a series of RFCs for that, AND people could use more than one protocol in a binary.
Everybody’s hoping GRRM is already on the task.
The real religion behind GoT.
all you have to do is hire one obsessed nerd and run decisions by him
If it’s Henry Cavill, you’ve got your actor AND obsessed nerd in the same package!
At the idea of customer choice and feedback, no less; like those things are somehow BAD.
I completely trust Systemd to accurately report on itself, the same as I trust American cops to police themselves.
Is this “git gud”, victim blaming, or a mix of both? Ignoring the comma splice.
You’d think if there was a janky bit of gear in there
Neither appear to be the case.
Just a page with the name of the project when I checked just now. Nothing else.
Look. Is part of the plan to build and distro an OTA flash for my ~9 echo flex models deployed out on the world? They have everything they need for interaction, as well as networking and Bluetooth beaconing.
I just checked out frigate, and I see it crutches on docker. Anything docker-free?
does anyone else feel like this article is missing punctuation or something
Definitely. But, given most of the glitches are comma splice, joinwords, or just plain punctuation missing, is this the best venue to point that out? The only thing worse than the punctuation here is the apologists.
a […] software
A software WHAT?
Remind me of the recent source ownership issue? I thought there was a “thanks for all the community work over a decade and we want to participate; oops now we own it” story.
