This feels so true at this point..

We had a technical issue that impacted the federation with other instances. It's resolved now so there's more visibility.

The fix doesn't help much for already affected systems, as they're even unable to boot. Only workaround is to manually delete the files in safe mode for every system one by one, which is even more difficult if it's bitlocker protected.

Absolutely crazy that they managed to screw up this bad.

Where is COBOL being used still?

Apart from Dokku, there's coolify and caprover.

I probably won't be using this too, as terms can change anytime. But I can't seem to find the part where it says it'll using it for training data. I read the verge article, bard blog as well as TOS that is presented when you want to opt-in to this, but didn't see find it.

Here's the excerpt from the TOS:

How data is used

Bard processes your personal data that it gets from Google Workspace, such as your name and email address, and your private content, like emails or docs you created or received, and uses it to:

• Provide Bard features to you. For example:
  • Summarize your emails when you ask
  • Share content at your request
• Maintain Bard services. For example:
  • Recover from service crashes
  • Measure overall user experience

Your personal content that Bard gets from Google Workspace is:

• Not allowed to be accessed or reviewed by human reviewers
• Not used to improve generative machine learning technologies that power Bard
• Not used to show you ads
• Not stored past the time period needed to provide and maintain Bard services

Happens to the best of us! localhost or 127.0.0.1 should work too.

Did you get it to work?

There is an API DELETE /internal/variants in pictrs to clear out variants of generated images. However it only cleared out a few megabytes in our case.
