US culture imperialism. Only the US culture is right. Every other is wrong. This has been going on for 40 years with TV and then on the internet with social media.
"Don't put your password into the website that you shouldn't and put it only to website that you should" is a circular advice.
It's like those 2FA SMS that say "don't tell this token to anyone!" while you literally share it with the website that you login to. I am always so frustrated when I receive those
Maybe not - but I work in a regulated industry, we had an employee get phished a few years ago, and the regulatory bodies wanted detailed records of all phishing testing and training conducted for the previous 5 years. So for some of us it's a necessary evil.
Once a head of security worked for me (CTO), and she was great great great. She did the same, putting USB sticks on the printers for example and see who would plug one into their computer.
They blow them into piles on their own property or collect them in bags and send them to compost.
Not everyone, sure, but this isn't an issue of rakes Vs leaf-blowers and it isn't the problem with two-stroke leaf blowers.
If anything, people with leaf blowers probably put more thought into what they do with their leaves, because they have a bigger volume of them to deal with.
As I understood it, to secure (their words) the supply chain, they took ownership of the code and repo (which others disputed as being owned by them) and kicked out users from Github.
It is said the underlying cause is that devs push rv which is threatening RubyGems.
How is rv threatening rubygems? I am pretty excited about rv on first glance, I tried it and it was too beta when I did to work nicely, but definitely good to have a uv type tool for ruby.
"Yes, I agree. And some of the “admins” even announced publicly many days ago they were launching a competitor tool and were funding raising for it. I’d not trust the system to such “admin”."
But how is this a conflict? Both are not-for-profit projects with the same goal? How can one even use the term 'competition' in this context? What if the Ruby community embraces a new and better package manager? This is, again, a net win for the Ruby community, and both projects strive for that?
Is Rubygems a company? My mind cannot comprehend why are people conflating not-for-profit open-source projects with for-profit companies...
If Rubygems was a company, they'd have a trademark, they'd have patents, they'd have lawyers to protect the money they were making from their brand and product. But we are speaking about not-for-profit open-source projects, not for for-profit corporations!
Ruby Central is a company that manages rubygems.org and rubygems. The maintainers who were locked out were being paid by Ruby Central while fundraising for their startup creating a competitor.
Doesn't it seem like a bit of a security risk to you?
But the real issue is that the price is a bit of red herring: the CX22 plan is not available everywhere (only in the old datacenters in Europe I think) and if you need to scale up your machine you can't use the bigger Intel plans (CX32, CX42 etc) because they have been unavailable for long time, and you have either to move to Amd based plans (CPX31 etc), which cost almost double for the same amount of ram, or to Arm64 based plans.
It seems Hostup has only EPYC vCPUs, no Intel, the 16 core machine seems the same, Hostup has the benefit of offering a 32 vCPU machine while Hetzner tops out at 16.
