  • Hmm we may have for a long time considered alternatives to the American cloud and tools but we still are extremely reliant on it in all administrations in France. As I recall 70% of our online government services are on American clouds. We also are almost exclusively using Microsoft windows and office for the desktop workstations.

    I’m pessimistic in the sense that Europe has tried to offer an European cloud before. It was a spectacular failure that just costs us a lot of money so that businesses here could just take the money and then pretend they couldn’t make it work.

    We definitely had a real shot in Europe to be sovereign. We just missed it. It’s never too late but it’s so prohibitively expensive to switch out of Microsoft ecosystem that many governments entities will rather fork out money to Microsoft.


  • So true, and all that to boost the ego of some higher up.

    That’s the thing when you sell the idea of something which the value can’t be evaluated easily, you can totally bullshit on everything.

    “This new brand image will boost our visibility on the market…”

    When in reality nobody knows if that new brand will stick or if the users will really like it.




  • When I was a kid I visited my grandparents and since there was still only Internet Explorer on their terrible computer I decided to install Firefox.

    Unfortunately the computer power supply died right after I did.

    Therefore my Firefox installation was determined to be the root cause of the computer being ruined.

    So yeah, Firefox apparently kills power supplies in some folklore.

    Beavers said in the memo that generative AI also mirrors the levels of professionalism, clarity and detail in the prompts you provide. Beavers added that being polite to your AI chatbot “not only ensures you get the same graciousness in return, but it also improves the AI’s responsiveness and performance.”


  • There is plenty of data on compromised certs. I mean if you steal a cert you essentially steal the identity of that server.

    I’m just saying before that you had admins connecting from time to time to the server while deploying but after that change it could be years before someone connects. Cert deployment IMO is often one of the last maintenance that is not automated and one of the hardest to automate both safely and reliably.

    But for a business that handles it that way it’s just straight up an upgrade in security to have shorter certs.
