Trump now states he has washed his tiny hands of the whole matter of prisoner jurisdiction.

In an attempt to address overcrowding in the Montgomery County Jail, the county will begin doling out thousands of dollars each day to relocate some prisoners.

Time to ditch US tech for homegrown options, says Dutch parliament

@theregister I can't follow. The risks did not change that much with #Trump.

Dependency to the #cloud was a bad move in many cases already before. It wasn't about risks, it was about prioritizing money as long as #outsourcing was cheaper. Now, companies often aren't in a position to self-host any more because we've lost #knowhow or resources.

You can blame many things on Trump but not this.

Berkshire paid $26.8 billion in US Taxes in 2024. (~5% of total Corp taxes).

- We should tax corporate revenue and rebate US Wages. Highly profitable companies in the US are not paying taxes.

This will tax AI, Investments, Outsourcing, etc., more than labor.

We should incentivize payments to US labor and US wages over outsourcing, AI, and investment activity.

Картинка дня DevOps-инженера: подъем в 6 утра по тревоге, разборы полетов и раннеры GitLab CI

Эволюционируя из рядового сисадмина в DevOps-а, специалисты начинают заботиться о разработке. В среднем разработчики об инфраструктуре знают не очень много: вполне может добавить скрипт, который обрушит кластер. Поэтому наша задача как девопсов сделать систему максимально отказоустойчивой, автоматизировать рутину, выстроить процессы CI/CD, настроить мониторинг и вообще следовать подходу “Инфраструктура как код”. Но это в теории. На практике это возможно, только если в систему никто не вносит никаких изменений, а так не бывает. Поэтому жизнь DevOps - постоянный “День Радио” в отдельно взятой инфраструктуре. Врезка: “День Радио” — это фильм с сюжетом, что в прямом эфире вот-вот должен стартовать марафон, но за десять минут до начала выясняется, что заранее подготовленная тема перехвачена конкурентами. И начинается суета и множество сюжетных поворотов и проблем Я поговорил с Дмитрием, тимлидом DevOps-команды в Git In Sky. Обсудили, как выглядит его типичный рабочий день и какие задачи стоят перед командой в условиях активно растущего рынка SRE-аутсорсинга.

Two Harris County prisoners died this month, one of whom died after being transferred to a private prison in Louisiana – an ongoing practice used to address overcrowding within the county jail in downtown Houston.

Today in Labor History January 20, 1986: Bruce Springsteen's "My Hometown" topped the music charts on this date. The song, a eulogy for dying industrial cities, includes the lines: "Now Main Street's whitewashed windows and vacant stores / Seems like there ain't nobody wants to come down here no more / They're closing down the textile mill across the railroad tracks / Foreman says these jobs are going boys and they ain't coming back to your hometown / Your hometown / Your hometown / Your hometown . . ." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77gKSp8WoRg

Oh, ich bin mir sicher, dass sie das möchte. Allerdings wird sie genauso wie in der #EU allgemein vor den notwendigen teuren und sehr langfristigen Maßnahmen wieder zurückschrecken - wie immer, wenn's d'rauf ankommt.

Nennt mir bitte ein Gegenbeispiel, wo wir unserer verlorene digitale Eigenständigkeit wesentlich(!) zurückerlangt haben.

Dabei wäre es soooo wichtig für sehr viele kommende Generationen. Wir verlieren schon seit zu vielen Jahren massiv #KnowHow durch #Outsourcing, #Cloud, usw..
