I know it's true and I've willingly purchased such things, but I can't believe that $2500 was the acceptable price point for that level of performance.
What iffing a possible scenario: Meta positions itself as an instance host, like how WordPress hosts blogs. "We'll take the headache out of setting up an instance, but you control everything else!" Free? Low cost? Removing the technical hurdles of hosting your own instance could entice a lot of would be admins to go this route.
It gives the illusion of control, but Meta still back channel collects all data.
Given the prevalence of social media platforms where you post videos of yourself, it seems pretty easy to get enough voice sampling to generate a convincing clone. Depending on how much personal info she and her family members put out on social media, it's trivial to connect all the dots to concoct a plausible scenario to scam someone.
Now whether or not it was "just a prank, bro" from family or whomever, I don't know.
For systems creation, provisioning and config management Hashicorp's terraform and packer, and RedHat's ansible are indispensable.
govc for managing guests in vCenter.
jq for parsing json.
I like tmux better than screen, but use both.
Not really a tool, per se, but Netbox is a great DCIM/IPAM application for managing your infrastructure.
Just learned about it and am currently learning, but Apache JMeter looks like a useful tool for running automated load testing against different kinds of services.
Oh man, I saw Macross: Do You Remember Love in a Daiei store in Hawaii, like in 1985? It was playing in some store display for electronics. I probably stood there watching the entire thing. I wrote the store the next day asking "WHERE DID YOU GET THIS?", and they forwarded it to the guy who owned it. He was super nice and wrote back. He was from Japan and did business with the store, back and forth between Hawaii and Japan, and had picked it up in Tokyo. Anyway, that really galvanized the whole anime thing for me.
But watched a lot of Tranzor Z (Manzinger Z), StarBlazers, and the two (wildly) different Voltron series beforehand. And of course, Robotech.
