It happened while I was sleeping, an entire hour, just gone. I don't think it was aliens this time.

Some of y'all are overly afraid of scorpions and I just want you to know that some of them can swim and dive under water.

Went to do a test restore of one of my databases and I noticed the dump files over the last few months were all 0kb. Glad I caught it this way and not because I needed to restore. Put it on your calendar, schedule a test restore of your critical stuff a couple times a year. I know y'all are busy but it is worth the time and effort. A backup you can't actually restore isn't a backup at all.

Looks like AMD has already patched it, also appears to affect older Intel versions of the same tech concept but not current generations.

Only really affects guests in multi tenant hypervisor environments, requires physical access to the hypervisor, requires external physical hardware, requires booting the host with said hardware attached, at some point this level of compromise is already absurd. This kind of research is important and shows that we still need to limit out level of trust with host providers but I don't think anyone needs to panic.

dad gives me a quarter so I can immediately lose in some claymation caveman game. i got a personal panned pizza for reading some books. there's a pitcher of diet pepsi on the table, i think the condensation looks neat. The waitress vacuums up the straw wrapper my sister missed shooting at me with a rolling sweeper thing as she asks my parents "the usual?"

I miss those days.

the tax started in 2023 and the ''study'' you linked shows data from 2019-2022, and they're bemoaning that the 1% has to pay 23% of the income taxes. I'm sure they'll be happy in Florida.

they also eat bedbugs and other harmful pests, they're awesome other than being fucking terrifying.
