I've written lots of words on "the cloud" and specifically Europe's woes. In the post below I tie many articles together into a hopefully useful overview. It may be good to know that nothing I write on the cloud is original, I mostly hope to report things as they are: berthub.eu/articles/pos...

AI has gotten some training clearly from programmers? "It's not a bug or flaw. It's an artifact." - Great answer!!! - Why running "mount -a" repeatedly ignores all other mounted file systems, but for an #Btrfs #RAID1 mounts it gives an error (exit level 32) that it's already mounted. Ok? Logic?

I just noticed mount option #lazytime. Seems to be uh oh, new feature. lwn.net/Articles/621... I encountered this, when investigating why #Windows doesn’t update #atime, and found out that Windows now got lazytime option. After that I found out that #Linux got it too. #mount #filesystem

Whoa! I just started researching if something like using PAKE within TLS (potentially simplifying authentication for HTTPS) was possible, and I happened to find this IETF draft: datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/dra.... Awesome! #RFC #TLS #HTTPS #PAKE #certificates #authentication #password

“Going to the cloud” can mean renting services/servers that you could get from anywhere. There’s little lock-in. The same 4 words “going to the cloud” might also mean locking your operations to a specific cloud provider, forever. This difference is vital yet often ignored: berthub.eu/articles/pos...

It is very hard to accept, but it is no longer safe to move EU governments & societies to US clouds. Not only is it dangerous to do so, it is also likely flat out illegal in the near feature. We're trading convenience for utter dependence on a mad king. It should stop. berthub.eu/articles/pos...

My call for European governments to retain at least a core IT/communication/email/file capability that is independent of US clouds. Named after the iconic Radio Kootwijk which we built in response to the English cutting off our communications with Indonesia in 1916: berthub.eu/articles/pos...
