Initially Java Flight Recorder (JFR) and Java Mission Control (JMC) were sold as commercial JDK add-on features by Oracle. Now these capabilities that enable runtime data gathering from #Java applications will arrive in the OSS version of the Java runtime, i.e. the OpenJDK.

DevSecOps is the new word for a concept that some companies are already applying for years. The concept boils down to the idea that security is not a state but a process. Also this process of making a solution secure should be applied throughout the entire build & delivery pipeline of a solution, starting with the concept and ending with how a solution is integrated and operated by its customers.
This is a perfect example for #Apple's double-speak; on the one hand Apple publicly PR-stunt-fights surveillance and portraits itself as your very own privacy guardian; on the other hand it works together with the USA government just like any other major corporation on this planet. Keep this in mind talking about #Huawei & China next time... your hypocrisy might make you pay a premium for something that does deliver the protection it moralizes.

Fog computing is basically edge computing on steroids. Just as edge computing also fog computing returns the opportunity of decentralization to the internet.

Despite remaining decentralized on the technical level, the internet has become organizationally as centralized and corporate-controlled as it was never before in its history.

I have started using an ad-blocker around five years ago and cannot live without it ever since. Meanwhile I have switched to #uBlock Origin which just gives you distraction-free focus on what you are doing. I would not might micro-paying for content if it would be possible. The #Brave browser pioneers a micro-payment approach for creators...

Eventually I managed to escape Google's #GSuite lock-in and reduced costs without compromising on requirements. I still rely on Google's free e-mail account which I use in combination with Hetzner's € 2/mo web package. As an office tools alternative I would consider using the OSS based OnlyOffice, Nextcloud, or ownCloud offerings. I have also moved my domains from the super expensive #GoDaddy domain registrar to #Hetzner where I pay half the price.
