I just ordered another laptop I got a @PINE64 Pinebook Pro coming in for my next trip. I think it’s going to be a perfect little companion device for my travels. I just need a basic laptop with me for this trip that if God forbid something happens I won’t be SOL

Yo this thing is LOADED from Start9, Core i7, 32GB RAM, 2TB NVMe, there’s WiFi and ethernet. It’s so compact. I’m loving this just as a computer even before I get to mess with the StartOS. Again Intel ME is disabled and the BIOS is 99.99% open source as it’s I believe a @purism Librem mini

#Start9 sent me their Server Pure for a review. They appear to be based on the @purism Librem Mini computers. Intel ME is disabled out of the box. I will have to tinker with this on #twitch tomorrow live but their StartOS seems to be great for those starting to do a #homelab and they are all about data sovereignty and you owning your data. It has options to setup #Mastodon and #Matrix out the box as well as #bitcoin and #monero nodes with #tor as well.

#Square can't even claim 99.9% uptime now.

Got an email this morning at 8am...

TWENTY (20) HOURS after they went down.

This would be their first contact since they went down around noon yesterday.

"Our services are now starting to come back online"

Starting to? NOW you notify customers? Seriously?

Two nines (99%) suck.

My newest book came in, it was written by my friend and mentor Elissa Shevinsky. Whilst working with her I had my eyes opened a lot to the shit women can face in tech both micro and macro, and she was a huge inspiration to push myself to further heights. I miss working with her, she is such a strong and inspirational woman she could inspire a whole room very easily to do better. She still inspires me every day

Oh my.

Square is down.

EDIT: Got through on their support line
1 (855) 700-6000

to a recording saying they were

"currently experiencing a distruption with one of their datacenters..."

NOTE: It hangs up after the recorded message.
/EDIT

"Yoyo Xue, who owns two Bay Area restaurants said there’s been no communication from Square and that the service’s phone line was down."

Dear Quickbooks,

No, I do not, in fact, want to use your bloody *AI* (*flailing Kermit arms* IT'S MACHINE LEARNING) "assistant"...

NOWHERE near the bookkeeping for my business do I want shitty guessing games that sound like I'm on chat support with someone who doesn't understand the product NOR speak my language.

Kthx
