  • If you’ll notice I mention the biggest offenders and/or the the underlying management infrastructure.

    Private jet owners getting systematically luigi’d would also fall under that remit, I was just using data centres as an example.

    Oil rigs, Nestlé, blackrock etc would also all work , with varying degrees of efficacy and difficulty.

    To address your argument directly, before you get all preachy think of the actual consequences of major data centres going down, all the critical infrastructure running on said data centres would also go down.

    That’s air traffic control, shipping and logistics ,and yes, agriculture; any system relying on cloud services running in those data centres

    If you pick the right ones and do it properly (a competently executed strategy, if you will) then you could cripple most industries, with all the consequences that brings.






  • Stating something is true with no supporting argument other than “I said so” followed by some shaky(at best) logic doesn’t leave much in the way of conversation points.

    But lets give it a go.

    Firstly there was no demand or proposal for any demographic to partake in the activity mentioned.

    Secondly, assuming the first point wasn’t true, by your rationale there would be no way to mention any activity without it being a suggestion that all current recipients must immediately perform said activity, which it patently ridiculous.

    Thirdly, the suggestion that you are a best in class mental gymnast isn’t a thought terminating cliche, perhaps you could claim ad hominem but as I said before ,“I’m right, because reasons” doesn’t leave many conversational avenues open.






  • Which law? in which place? at what time ?

    Where it’s hosted? where it’s being accessed? the intermediate locations ?

    Which license, is the license enforceable in this context? who decides if it is? what if there are conflicting decisions from different applications of law, who arbitrates?

    Do you mean piracy in the maritime sense? or do you mean copyright infringement? perhaps trademark infringement? or intellectual property theft? based on which law in which geographic region ?

    This isn’t even hyperbole, the things you are talking about have nuance and context, pretending they don’t is a failure of imagination or intentional trolling.

    The server CPU’s are called epyc and they are powerful, but not in the same way.

    Server CPU’s are geared to different types of workloads but if you built a desktop workstation with decent one it would be still be a beast.

    I wasn’t arguing that the server CPU’s aren’t powerful, i was saying that the latest ryzen desktop cpu was something I’d personally consider to also be powerful.

    The threadrippers are also up there in terms of power, but the OP was specifically talking about ryzen.



  • My experiences are similar to yours, though less k8’s focused and more general DevSecOps.

    it becomes a battle between custom-fitting and generalisation.

    This is mentioned in the link as “Barely General Enough” I’m not sure i fully subscribe to that specific interpretation but the trade off between generalisation and specialisation is certainly a point of contention in all but the smallest dev houses (assuming they are not just cranking hard coded one-off solutions).

    I dislike the yaml syntax, in the same way i dislike python, but it is pervasive in the industry at the moment so you work with that you have.

    I don’t think yaml is the issue as much as the uncontrolled nature of the usage.

    You’d have the same issue with any format as flexible to interpretation that was being created/edited by hand.

    As in, if the yaml were generated and used automatically as part of a chain i don’t think it’d be an issue, but it is not nearly prescriptive enough to produce the high level kind of model definitions further up the requirements stack.

    note: i’m not saying it couldn’t be done in yaml, i’m saying that it would be a massive effort to shoehorn what was needed into a structure that wasn’t designed for that kind of thing

    Which then brings use back to the generalisation vs specialisation argument, do you create a hyper-specific dsl that allows you only to define things that will work within the boundaries of what you want, does that mean it can only work in those boundaries or do you introduce more general definitions and the complexity that comes with that.

    Whether or not the solution is another layer of abstraction into a different format or something else entirely i’m not sure, but i am sure that raw yaml isn’t it.
