rsyslog Goes AI First — A New Chapter Begins - rsyslog

After 24 months of focused evaluation and careful experimentation, we’re excited to announce a major shift in the evolution of rsyslog: we’re going AI First. This marks the beginning of a strategic transformation in how we design, develop, and support rsyslog and its ecosystem. While today’s post is just a short announcement, it lays the […]

Everytime I think it can't possibly get worse it just gets worse.
Although tons of words have been written already on Europe's cloud predicament, I've found that it makes sense to briefly describe the very high level picture of where we are. "We rely on non-European SaaS based on non-European clouds":

The European Cloud/Computing Situation - Bert Hubert's writings

A brief addition to the 50000 words I wrote earlier on the cloud: what is the European situation? Software Initially, companies and governments would buy licenses to software. You’d typically have a piece of software in your office, on one of your computers, to calculate payroll with. Most other computers would have copies of WordPerfect installed. This software would function for years without updates or maintenance. If WordPerfect-the-company would disappear, you would not even notice.

@paronianttila Welcome 🙋🏼‍♂️

No, computers won’t replace humans to write code for themselves.

Please stop with this nonsense.

What we will see though is tremendous losses in productivity as deskilled programmers will get less and less education and practice—and take longer and longer to make broken AI-generated code work. Meanwhile, AI models will regress from eating their own generated shit when being trained on.

Eventually AI companies will finally run out of investors to scam—and when they disappear or get so expensive they become unaffordable, “prompt engineers” will be asked to not use AI anymore.

What’s gonna happen then?

We’re losing a whole generation of programmers to this while thought leaders in our field are talking about “inevitability” and are jerking off to sci-fi-nostalgia-fueled fantasies of AGI.

"If you don't start using AI you're going to be left behind."

Nope, we're going to leave your ass behind. We'll keep automating with testable, repeatable, infrastructure-as-code. Our repos will be well documented by engineers, well organized, and easy to understand. We'll keep honing our skills while you generate copious slop. Oh, and take your poorly veiled threat and and shove it way back up your ass where it belongs. </rant>

Regarding previous post, retoots would be appreciated since as many people as possible need to hear about this expert group. I'm afraid that otherwise we'll end up with a committee that does not include all points of view! https://eupolicy.social/@bert_hubert/114800436278956988

The attempts by law enforcement & governments to subvert end-to-end encryption are ongoing. The European Commission is going to spend a year thinking about their new "Roadmap for law enforcement access to data", and they are (genuinely) asking for people to join their expert group to help. Here I urge you to join that group (also because I can't): https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/possible-end-to-end-to-end-come-help/

So, now I'm searching for the software for this Apple/Abaton 300/GS scanner. I found the Everex (they bought Abaton) site had the software available in 1996 but it's not been archived.

Anyone have this or are able to find it elsewhere?

Update: It's been located! Thanks @vga256
