How to defeat Putin?

Many recognise the importance of coercive measures against Russia and necessity to give it a way out

And yet, some presume that the way out should be given to Putin to force him to negotiate. That's a disastrous idea. There's no way he can roll back now🧵

[Kamil Galeev @kamilkazani]

Consider sizes of countries where Putin waged his wars in chronological order:

1. Chechnya, 1999 - 1 million
2. Georgia, 2009 - 4 million
3. Syria, 2015 - 17 million
4. Ukraine, 2022 - 44 million

He's scaling up and quickly. Each time he chooses a bigger prey. So far it worked

[Kamil Galeev @kamilkazani]

Why would I bring up Hitler, you may ask? Because in one crucial aspect Hitler's and Putin's strategy are similar:

1. Manufacture crisis
2. Get concessions and roll back
3. Increase your standing in the country, become stronger
4. Scale up and repeat

It's not gonna end now

🧵My translation of the analysis of the current situation in Russia by an active FSB analyst. Buckle up for a long thread and definitely please share far & wide. The full text is over 2000 words. This is a highly insightful look behind the curtain - covers many subjects.

[Sebastian Kirsch @skirsch79]

There's so much content and wise words in there.
Must read for anyone associated with/to "platform engineering"

[Daniel Bryant @danielbryantuk]

"Platform Engineering" is rapidly becoming the new DevOps or SRE. Almost every day we hear about another org building an internal developer platform or control plane.

Want to know what platform engineering is, where the trends are going, and why you should care?

I seriously wonder if translating API docs into local languages like German is worth it for Google, Stripe, Meta, Amazon, etc.

I personally always switch back to english as German docs are
a) not complete
b) use translations for technical terms no one here actually uses

🤔

Gibt es irgendeinen one-pager der Bundesregierung, warum wir keine "tödlichen Waffen" an die Ukraine exportieren?

Da in den letzten 15 Jahren im Mittel die meisten Rüstungsexporte in "Drittländer" (nicht EU, NATO oder NATO gleichgestellt) gingen, habe ich große Fragezeichen...

[Sebastian Kirsch @skirsch79]

So, if the KRs stay the same over and over again, apparently the O is reduced to a catchy marketing phrase that changes every now and then.

[Sebastian Kirsch @skirsch79]

Posit: a heterogeneous software landscape|organization nowadays invites a strong (dev)ops organization to emerge, that sets and enforces standards.

Had to hard-reset my fridge today, since it stopped cooling. Not sure why this is necessary - it cools and has a light inside. Maybe b/c you can set the temperature with a button?
For sure not afraid of the machines taking over anytime soon.

@vdandre It's surprising how hard these old games actually have been.
You'll get there!

The first game in years that I actually finished.✌️

@jbspeakr And the answer is relevant for... 😬

[Sebastian Kirsch @skirsch79]

Today is the day: I'm invited to a "remote onsite interview". No location, no link to a video meeting of any sort.

Now, what clandestine thing is that? And how am I supposed to show up there?

[Sebastian Kirsch @skirsch79]

@HuntressLabs @calebjstewart @jslagle @_JohnHammond When using that, I still see ${jndi:...} in the log file.
Would you be able to substitute that, so that I wouldn't even see in the logs that I've been pwoned?

[Sebastian Kirsch @skirsch79]

Can anyone here confirm that the rendered Log4j message may not even contain the infamous ${jndi:foo} string, since it is substituted?
That's the original idea of the feature, yet maybe the nature of the RCE is preventing that?

@pvblivs @SlackHQ Using Google DNS servers seems to work.

@pvblivs @KingOfCoders @Scout24Eng Since we're finally putting a dependency update policy into action soon, there shouldn't be too many hurdles left to retire JDK8.

[Sebastian Kirsch @skirsch79]

Helped a colleague w/ a local build problem today: some JDK / Kotlin incompatibility. Turned out they have a whooping ~20 JDK distros|versions installed...
Really appreciate that @Scout24Eng is setting more and more standards around this!
