  • Hyundai Motor Company.

    Garbage cars. My stepmother’s Kia has had no fewer than two admonitions not to park the thing inside due to possible spontaneous combustion, even while off. My sister-in-law’s Hyundai received a software update that uses the acoustic knock sensor to sense when catastrophic journal failure is imminent. This was after her previous Hyundai which went through two motors, each failing at the exact same mileage in the same mode.



  • Yeah, Conversations is probably the most fleshed out. Dino is missing lots of features, as is Monal for osx. Gajim is very nice, but it’s written in Python. Psi used to be my favorite 10 years ago but it’s unmaintained.

    I just want something more on feature parity with all the Slack clones, but not actually Slack. Or mattermost. Or matrix. Goddamn, there are so many messaging apps












  • Companies make configuration changes. Mistakes happen. Sometimes they cascade. In this case, it seems like a simple syntax error or similar cascaded. I’ve seen far, far stupider causes of outages in my career, like idiots running tests against the prod DB and forgetting that the test does DROP SCHEMA public; before it runs.
