Cold as ice. If I offended you please tell me. Words are hard, breaking habits is difficult. I’ll try my best to not knowingly offend anyone.

If you don’t know how to refer to me, use whatever you like. Probably he/him. Maybe.

Correlates with the number of microservices, up for debate.

Point granted, I was attributing code drift to losing control over the code by generated junk, and security drift to the negligence of updating, and blindly trusting agents: 1password.com/blog/from-magic-

@DJGummikuh
Probably software continues to run, but isn't updated continuously - because it just works.
E.g. my OpenWRT 23.05.5 router is working, but it may or may not have exploitable issues, that have been patched in e.g. 23.05.6 or 24.10.x.
Or one of my webservers is running on Ubuntu 18.04. - which is way past it's best before date, but I'm in the process of moving that webhost, which I haven't carved out time for.

Möbelhaus am Freitag: Kommt aus dem Zentrallager, könnte schon Mittwoch 16 Uhr hier sein. (Also im Laden)
Mal schauen, ob die das schaffen.

Und dann die Frage ob der Tisch (apparently vollständig Vormontiert) in den Corsa passt.

@manawyrm That's the unfortunate part: I don't have any other VPS providers I want to use so … there's that (also, I could imagine any other VPS/Cloud compute provider has the same issue).
Fortunately, I have a workaround (for now). Let's see what's first - municipality finally getting their FTTH network up and handed to EWE, or the Cloudflare Warp-tunnel workaround ceasing to provide a better service than my Hetzner VPS.

@manawyrm No, but cpu-monkey.com blocks Hetzners AS in Cloudflare.
Or Mediamarkt/Saturn immediately bring up a Captcha, when coming from the Hetzner VPS.

@manawyrm @sophie144p @NikTheDusky One neat thing about this: Much fewer Cloudflare Captchas or WAF blocks.

@finn @NikTheDusky
Confirmed.
Measurable latency across one month of runtime, and consistent 12% packet loss on average over a month is insane.
The top most IP is the DNS server as advertised by DTAG, orange are Cloudflare targets, and gray are separate VPS of mine.

Let me tell you a story …

Cloudflare Speed test "Server Location" field, Connected ia IPv4, Server location: Frankfurt am Main
Your network: Cloudflare, Inc AS13335, Your IP Address: 104.28.194.157

The map shows a map of Germany, with a pin in Bremen, and a connection to Cloudflare Cloud Frankfurt.

Have you seen this? Using Cloudflare Warp to get better peering to Cloudflare from Telekom networks?
I've set it up for now, and … night/day difference.

#FastFood, oder „irgendwas“.
Habe mich für gemischtes Gemüse, Pilze, Gemüse-Bällchen und Omelette entschieden.

#Essen

In einer weißen Schüssel, zu Unterst gemischtes Gemüse (Brokkoli, Romanesco, Blumenkohl, Karotten, Erbsen, Champignons, Shii-Take, Austernpilz), darüber einige Gemüse-Bällchen der Art IKEA, darüber liegt ein halbes Omelette.

Really close to the nostalgia kick that is #XNA background color (cornflower blue).

@NanoRaptor "I especially appreciate how easy these batteries are to mount, just a single screw into the threaded PCB insert, its so much more compact and easy to change"

"donut" version of the CR2032, mounted via an M3 screw thru the middle hole, to the pcb, no more wrestling with those stupid battery holders!

I'm now routing all my #Cloudflare traffic through … *checks notes* …

Cloudflare.

Because #Telekom can't be assed to not be greedy.

Is it good? I don't know yet, previously I've routed everything through #Hetzner, and some sites did block that ASN.
Same policy-based routing as always - mark CF-IP ranges, and send them through Wireguard.
Was a very steep hill, but it somehow worked out.

@praxis regarding the brand, I only know of one brand, that produces pea-based milk, called Vly.
