A question for people: is Exascale any good, as a transit provider? I expect I know a few people who may have come across them and/or been a customer, so I may ask well ask!
My current main transit provider has provided me with notice that they are going to stop providing transit in a few months, and apparently they've given Exascale their customer list, because they phoned me a few days ago to offer their services. The prices seem reasonable (actually far lower than I was expecting, probably because I keep paying the same for year upon year without poking regularly for discounts, so I probably have way out of date pricing at the moment) and they seem to offer much higher CDRs for not much more money than I've been paying so far. The only downside is that they don't have <10Gbps ports in their network, so I'll probably have to have a router with an SFP+ socket in it at last!
I hesitate to just say "yes" without doing at least some kind of due diligence first, though, so: have you come across them before, and would you recommend? I probably ought to get at least one other quote too, so is there anyone else you'd recommend for (tier 2, for some reason I'm not keen on connecting directly with a tier 1) transit? Thanks :)

The 14th of October is World Standards Day... except in North America where it is the 12th of October, the 14th of November, or varies year to year
This amuses me greatly
Happy Starting Your Advent Calendar Day to those who celebrate.
I haven't done an Advent calendar for a long time, but I have just opened the Christmas Marmalade (someone's gift from last year). Orange, cranberry, ginger and spices, apparently.
And the the day after that I finally got on my motorbike and did that trip to the south coast I've been threatening to do for weeks now. Finally made it, stopping at Littlehampton and getting a few pics on the beach, albeit after dark. *sigh* Oh well, at least I made it. Went back to the old house afterwards, sorted a few network things out and brought some routers I needed back to the new house.
(6 pics below; if you can't see them all, look on the origin instance.)

We tend to think of things like small scooters and alternative transportation as βnew" things, but here's a photo of a couple on a scooter from 1923.
It's kind of amazing how far back some of our tech goes. And what's brought us to where we are. Similarly, electric cars were all the rage in the early 1900's.
You can't give workers hope for a better future. Because if you DO, they might start to expect one. And you'll be an in even WORSE state there.
Best to affirm the belief that everything is shit and always will be shit. That way no one is disappointed.
Panda is ready to go out for camping with his scout friends. He packs his snacks in his backpack. He is very excited to eat marshmallows and tell stories around the fire. He hopes to win some badges too.

Speaking of shell prompt styles, mine is an unusual one that I picked up from a friend at university.
The general idea is to start with ':' and end with ';' (plus a space if you like, which I do). That way you can paste a command from one terminal to another _with_ its prompt (fewer mouse clicks), and the prefixed prompt turns into a harmless no-op command.
Minimal style is just ":;". I use ": hostname; ". You could also include the cwd or other stuff, as long as you shell-quote it safely.
@forst indeed, I don't know of one.
I'm not sure I'd _want_ one to exist, either. I can see the use in your case, but it feels like the kind of feature that could also be abused for 'looks like this, copy-pastes as that' tricks, or other borderline security issues.
The web has enough of that kind of problem that one often uses a terminal as a more-trusted way to check whatever the browser just told you that you're not sure you trust. So we need terminals to stay less deceptive than browsers!
@forst but I know there are people who don't believe it, and think "this is no less secure than a web browser" is a good argument for putting a feature into terminals.
Sooner or later _some_ cursedΒΉ terminal program will implement an OSC escape that takes a payload of arbitrary CSS. And then one with Javascript!
ΒΉ that is, if that terminal is not already cursed, it will be after it does that
@forst I suppose so, although in counterpoint, at least the language you can speak to a terminal is pretty limited.
I think if someone did build a terminal with CSS and JS extensions, so that anyone who could emit escape sequences to your terminal could push code to the terminal emulator that it would run, then sandboxing would be absolutely necessary.
Without that, you have to do exploit attempts the old-fashioned way, like ESC]0;<buffer-overflowing window title><ROP chain>^G or whatever.
Happy Black Friday to those who celebrate.
(Also a happy Thanksgiving to those who are currently or will shortly be recovering from turkey overdose.)

Things that I do not understand about humans:
Me: This is not safe. Can I recommend a rethink? You should stop now.
Them: It's fine! Stop fussing! Life isn't like the text books.
[Explosions, screams of agony]
Them: WHY? Why did you not tell me that cycling backwards into a dynamite factory, wearing roller skates and magnesium underpants, juggling flaming torches, with a pack of hungry hyenas chasing me, would be dangerous?? This is YOUR FAULT!

If you do not know of the fantastic #FoxesInLove :
a) You should.
b) Be careful! I think that Kyu (my partner) and I might have just ended up in its universe without realising it. Transcript follows.
Tundra: What is that noise?
Kyu: It's quite annoying.
Tundra: It sounds like an old road drill, or some sort of burglar alarm.
Kyu: I don't think it's a road drill.
Tundra: Well, either that or an electric woodpecker has gone out of control.
Kyu: That's the most likely explanation, yes.
That's the trouble these days, you can't get the wood you know. You can't get it.

Oh I was doing just the last month first as a test. You can see it didn't run anything as the forbidden errors popped up the moment you try running it.
Not sure if it's something to do with uBlock, or the browser (as I get 2 different types of errors on Firefox vs. Chrome). Gonna have to go through 6 month chunks for how many years I have to go back on both accounts. Going to take me a long time.
Decided to start the process again fresh using Edge. Same exact result unfortunately.
403 Forbidden error when I run it, even though the Authorization Bearer code is exactly the same across all the browsers.
I never used Edge on this PC yet either so it was about as fresh as can be.
Yep, followed the instructions to the letter.. (I do SQL inquiries often enough, so nothing new)
Something with the API just will not play nice with the script for me. I even removed all adblock stuff.
Only other thing I can think of is my DNS PiHole might be blocking the address.
I have so many layers of ad/track protection on my network.. But at least I never see any ads anywhere. Comes at a cost of many sites now not allowing VPN's connecting any more.
I'm sorry, but Centrists need to HURT for what they've done to America. If they can just sit back and enjoy the show while Progressives fight the Fascism that they've enabled to take control of our government, we can't let them get off easy by doing all the fighting for them.
If Centrists don't hurt from the decision they've made, then this fight will never end.
@tango TBF 2019 was also my last AC. :p
I really wanted to go again this year, but for various reasons I just couldn't get all the pieces in place. Oh well.
Three-day weekend seems like a good occasion to honor #NoTwitterYotevember. Blanking the Tweets now.

I just love that moment when you're screwing a metal screw into a metal anchor point on an SSD, and the SSD is plastic, so the anchor point just comes right out.
That's just the best.
But remember that "open source software is far more secure because of the number of eyes on it."
Open source software also has a massive SEP field erected over it, while commercial software's excuse is usually just negligence. ;)
So James sent me a cool video.
Sort of fun DIY projectβ¦
Sort of starts with saw this bit of wood.
Drill these holes.
Then sand this bit.
Then use your router to cut a slot.
Then put in your lathe to round this bit.
Then use your band saw.
Then your 3D printer.
Then your CNC milling machine.
Then your industrial kiln.
Well, feels like that. Quickly escalates to like βeveryone has this huge fully equipment workshop at home, surelyββ¦
@neil Hmmm. I feel seen here as someone who self-hosts everything important to me (and is only missing the band saw, lathe and kiln from the previous list)
That said, all of my tools are at best, prosumer so they are not up to a lot of the tasks that people on Youtube blithely pull up to without mentioning that this tool costs $x, requires triple phase power, dedicated floor space since it weighs 200kg, and an industrial dust evacuation system, ...
Plus my work and storage spaces are measured in single-digit meters squared
Yeah, I love those, especially as my woodworking tools consist of a 50 year old electric jigsaw, a 60 year old plane with a knackered blade, and a wobbly old Black and Decker Workmate.
I also have zero skills, despite Dad being a qualified cabinet maker.
