Further, Public Sans was developed by the US govt under the first Trump administration and appears to be an excellent font. That seems to be a wise choice against TNR or Calibri on multiple angles.
Exactly, for the narrowly defined condition of running k8s on digital ocean with a managed control plane compared to Hetzner bare metal:
AWS and DigitalOcean = $559.36 monthly or Hetzner = $132.96 The cost of an engineer to set up and maintain a bare metal k8s cluster is going to far exceed the roughly $400 monthly savings.
If you run things yourself and can invest sweat equity, this makes some sense. But for any company with a payroll this does not math out.
That argument is compelling only at a first glance IMO. If you take a look at it another way then:
1. The self-hosting sweat and nerves are spent only once, 80% of them anyway (you still have to maintain every now and then e.g. upgrade).
2. The cloud setup will require babysitting as well and as such the argument that you only pay someone salary when self-hosting does not hold water.
Ultimately it's a tradeoff between (a) the short- or long-term thinking of leadership, (b) in-house expertise and (c) how much money are you willing to throw at the problem for the promised shorter timelines -- and that one is assuming you'll find high-quality cloud hosting engineers which, believe me, is far from a given.
I'd rather the industry standardizes on some sort of guest network and proxy/hub. It could even ship with hardware from ISPs. Separating the network buys you a lot of security, and running everything through a proxy makes it easier to inspect data and creates a standard hook for using abandonware.
Ehhh I can see it. The right attack at the right time could directly or indirectly kill people, and that’s ignoring the fact it can cause economic havoc.
Having the entire internet function on a “pay or be nuked” threshold that could easily get much worse if companies like cloudflare become less ethical (not that they’re saints).
Is the exploitation further expecting that the evil link will pe presented as a part of chat response and then clicked to exfiltrate the data in the path or querystring?
> The chains allow attackers to automatically exfiltrate sensitive and proprietary information from M365 Copilot context, without the user's awareness, or relying on any specific victim behavior.
Zero-click is achieved by crafting an embedded image link. The browser automatically retrieves the link for you. Normally a well crafted CSP would prevent exactly that but they (mis)used a teams endpoint to bypass it.
I built a chicken coop, mostly as a hobby, and the eggs were a bonus.
the 1,000 in materials for the structure and 25 bucks a month in food and bedding make that amortization table go out a couple of decades before you see ROI.
I joke that they are the most expensive organic eggs you can buy. ;)
10 years back, we were getting eggs at something like 25c/egg in feed costs. But we had a bunch of birds that only laid every 2 or 3 days, so they were no where near as efficient as a first year dedicated layer. OTOH, they all had names, we had most of the egg colors, and the bantam eggs were so cute. And the one hen that basically only laid double yolkers.
We're able to keep the feed costs down simply because as a family of 7 with young kids we have a lot of food waste that the birds will happily gobble up.
Also their bedding makes fantastic compost for next year's veggies.
We've recently taken on chickens and I also find the spaghetti free-for-alls very entertaining. I also like 'Chicken Basketball' where they will all attempt to get control of a squishy tomato or steal it from whoever has possession.
Owners of coops know how different are those organic eggs. Totally diffrent color of yolks, also they have totally different smell when they are cooked.
In my field of IT consulting I find the opposite to be true. Developing a shared understanding of client challenges, getting leaders to make and follow through on decisions, and learning our way around customer ecosystems takes forever over Teams, slack, or email.
If we knew exactly what needed to be done and were just cranking code I see how solitude works. But the constant streams of low bandwidth meetings to make decisions is brutal.

When I was doing that work, even in office, all of those things took place over IM, email or remote meetings anyway.
My customers were not in the same building as I was. The vast majority of senior management were not in the same building as I was.
Sure sometimes I might go out to the client in person, and sometimes they may have come in to see me. But the vast, vast, VAST majority of it already took place remotely. And how could it not in a global business?
