If you read anything today, read this from @pluralistic - "You Should be Using an RSS Reader".
Cause you really should. Really.
Speaking of which, anyone knows of a tool somewhere that can analyze sites that don't have RSS feeds in search for changes and puts those changes on a RSS feed of its own?
'Cause that'd be really useful, you know?

Microsoft can't cloud
Microsoft, the company that lost the cryptographic keys that protected their cloud customers from attackers, now lost important log files.
People go to the cloud, despite the fact that cloud is more expenive than on-premises by a factor of 5, because cloud promises to get operations right so that companies can outsource that and focus on dev.
Microsoft is NOT an operations company at all.
It can't cloud.
As a kid I often wondered how the Germans could allow the Holocaust to happen. In the past year I've heard all the reasons why.
- "I don't want to lose my job"
- "It will cause friction in my family"
- "Both sides are bad"
- "This isn't my issue to speak about"
- "I'm too busy"
- "I don't care about politics"
Well, it is now. And whole little street got updated with fresh data...

Cuando el que se peina con lengua de vaca dice la chorrada de que La Oreja de Van Gogh era la verdadera contracultura no (solo) pretende absolver sus complejos de niño pera básico sino que busca promover un relato en el que "los malos" eran una mayoría opresora
Porque un buen relato necesita épica, y hay poca épica cuando "los buenos" (los suyos) controlaban los medios que programaban la música, los jueces que secuestraban publicaciones o la policía que cerraba garitos.
I remember some people expressing how annoyed they were with people reimplementing standard command line tools in Rust. But here is the reality of such reimplementations: hachyderm.io/@cliffle/11332081…
It isn’t just the memory safety. The reimplementations typically turn out much simpler, partly because of a more high-level language and partly because of usable dependency management.
If you have 20 times less code to maintain, you can do a lot more with it. Adding “nice to haves” like output coloring in C requires considerable effort, improving usability of these tools in Rust on the other hand is a no-brainer. That’s e.g. why duf and dust can present the output better than df and du.
And there are performance wins at almost zero cost. That’s partly due to relying on well-optimized libraries instead of own reimplementations (yes, dependency management again). But taking advantage of multi-threading and modern CPU features seems much easier in Rust as well.

There's a handy command line tool, fdupes, for scanning a filesystem for duplicate files and optionally removing them. It's about 6kloc of C. That seemed like kind of a fun little toy problem for this evening, so I wrote a little work-alike in Rust.Hachyderm.io
