For what it's worth...
Terraform has _never_ been cloud agnostic. You should still know which cloud and which resource you're writing Terraform/OpenTofu code for.

Why does Kremlin care about this?
The Western phones have been banned in that failed country shortly after their invasion to Ukraine and sanctions. Of course, some continue to use them and even buy new ones. E.g. the horse-head of ministry of foreign affairs carried iPhone 14 in the last summit in Bali. Double standards and hypocrisy - long standing standard in Хуйлостан.

Paragon Software was founded and run by Russian folks
Given the current events that involve Russia, it might very well be that they are hit by the sanctions, cannot work with the western companies and are completely off the grid. Heck, some of them even might have been taken to army and brought into meaningless war and faced death...

all of the recommendation algorithms are a failure
Amazon always thinks I need more of the same that I already bought. Netflix cannot understand that I want to watch different genre movies and TV series, not more of the same I watched latest. Spotify recommendations are also bollocks as my taste spans a whole lot of music styles.

Intel x86 considered harmful
Back in 2015 Joanna Rutkowska published a paper (https://blog.invisiblethings.org/papers/2015/x86_harmful.pdf) and pretty much predicted that attention will turn to hardware in search for new vulnerabilities. It's compelling, because owning a system at this level is more persistent, less visible and harder to get rid of.

A totally irrelevant rant about ones dream. MS = WP8 and that rules Blackberry out of equation. And about sysadmin phone? Be consistent with your requirements, please for whatevers' sake. First, it's decent browser, which of all choices Blackberries' is the most laughable choice. Then all of a sudden it's full blown productivity suite..? Which again is not in Blackberry favor. And what the hell you do as a sysadmin that you need productivity suite..? I'd understand decent ssh client and remote desktop app, but that..?

Magratheans?
It was the Magratheans who constructed the planet-sized computer named Earth (for a race of hyper-intelligent pan-dimensional beings, the mice) to determine the ultimate question of Life, the Universe, and Everything, which is required to understand the Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything.
I wonder what they have built now? I bet it's not another Earth.

Lithuania rules beer brewing 'vitally essential' to life
Monday 5th March 2012 13:12 GMT
my sweet lord of... whatever...
they may put any rules on this crapy carslberg "beer" factory. the fact is that less and less people drink their beer-product here in Lithuania. everyone I talk to are switching to small breweries (and there're plenty to choose from) production, because that's the real beer and not something produced at large quantities and very fast at some factory-thing.
