Bad idea of the day: get commit access to leftpad and make it so that it spawns a thread that loads amazon.com in an infinite loop for every injected space

So, the GCHQ has released a statement backing up Amazon & Apple’s denials. What do you bet the implant is 5eyes tech and not chinese at all? https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-cyber-britain/uk-cyber-security-agency-backs-apple-amazon-china-hack-denials-idUSKCN1MF1DN

Read some excepts from a book I randomly found yesterday. While the writing was a little dry, I thought it could be an interesting read. However when I looked on Amazon, found out the book was 80 USD. I’m sorry but it was not that interesting.

OK, so the next 22 people who click on this link get my book: https://www.amazon.com/ga/p/9035fb092fa86187?ref_=pe_1771210_134854370#ln-en (The two previous giveaways only gave out one book, which is stupid.)

Amazon Cloud Drive feedback
This is not merely a technical problem, but I did not have the choice for multiple selections. Anytime I use the word “you” down below, I mean Amazon.

First the good. I love you, I have used AWS S3 for a long time, no complains. I do much of my online purchases on you, although I am not a fervent shopper. I rent my movies on Amazon Video. I am signed up for Flex. I want you to succeed even more. I love you!

Now the bad. Amazon Cloud Drive is bad. The OS X client i … ⌘ Read more

Shogi
Kent’s latest hobby is to play Shogi. That makes me an obligatory player and fan as well since, just like chess, Shogi requires two players. We bought a cheap board from Amazon, but he has already stated that a better quality board and pieces is what he would want for Christmas (yes, he is already planning for it).

The game isn’t difficult to play, but I am having an excruciating hard time remembering each piece—labeled with kanji characters—and how they move. Ah, the j … ⌘ Read more

iCloud mess
Having lost many photos of certain sentimental value a few years ago has made me paranoid. Ever since I lost my child’s first four years of photographic memory I have kept copies of our family photos and videos in two different places. I keep a copy of photos and videos in our Synology NAS at home, which backup photos to Amazon S3 and videos to [Glacier](http://aws.amazon.co … ⌘ Read more

Cloud backup
I have a NAS at home, a Synology DS411J, which we use for backups, and to keep our family photos and videos. It works great, no complains here, but I am looking to keep an outside backup. A backup in the cloud, to be precise.

The choices are:

• Amazon Drive
  
• Amazon AWS S3
  
• Google Drive
  
• [Apple iCloud](https://w … ⌘ Read more

On AWS S3
I have moved from Linode (which I will be canceling soon) to Namecheap DNS management (I have all my domains on Namecheap) and Amazon S3. Transition went well, and painless. It should save me some money.

Nothing wrong with Linode, which I recommend to anyone looking to having their own Virtual Server. Their service rock, and their price is hard to beat. I used their services for a year and totally loved it. ⌘ Read more

Route 53, wish I could have used you
Ever since Amazon announced it’s Route 53 service I have been dreaming on using it, but since I dislike to have services too spread out (got Google Apps and Linode now), I held up. Two days ago or so, Amazon announced new features tha … ⌘ Read more
