It's a multi stage transition, and we are nearing the end of phase 1, rebuild in AWS using equivalent EC2 instances. This is not cheap by any means, but it gets us out of VMware, and also gets us away from our abysmal capacity management problems. Being able to keep up with business growth on-demand is worth the extra cost over the medium term.

Phase 2 is rearchitecting and consolidating our major overlapping LOB applications into fewer, more cloud-native designs. This should reap cost savings eventually.

The is pretty much Broadcom's MO with purchases like this. Jack up prices to get rid of small customers, milk the huge customers for all they can, don't spend money on further development.

We saw the writing on the wall with the purchase, got the ball rolling and now are almost done expunging all VMware from our environment. Just in time it seems.

I'd like to see your sources on that statement.

PIA has literally gone to US federal court at least twice, and prevailed both times proving they had no logs to share with authorities.

PIA has an actual track record of privacy protection success, which is something few other VPN providers have.

No, I am not on the beta, it's v88

It's very odd, it's been rock solid up till this morning. I think I got an android update last night that might coincide with the issue - android 13 July 5 update.

Seeing an issue that just started this morning, Connect launches to the splash screen but hangs. Neither force quitting the app nor rebooting the phone helps. App was working great yesterday.

My instance is fmhy, its web interface seems to be up and running normally. Suggestions? Thanks!

Been running boinc / World Community Grid jobs for like 10+ years straight. Has all sorts of throttling settings, so it's pretty much set it and forget it, it doesn't interfere with other apps I run.

Europe in general needs to fund a more robust network of undersea cables globally...but politics get in the way.

I believe is was pulled from service after Spain signed the Convention on Cluster Munitions.

Well, technically it is a solved problem. Spain fielded electronically fused cluster bomblets that were disabled via a drained capacitor if not exploded in 5 minutes. This eliminated the possibility of live duds.

This Espin system has since been removed from service. Not sure if there are any similar system currently in use.

Thanks for your work!

I love the flat plastic barbed things you shove down the drain, pulling back a ton of gunk stuck on the barbs: Zip tool

They cost a couple bucks at a hardware ire home improvement store. They work extremely well.
