I use mine for coding using modern-ish stuff (i.e. containerised) but it still feels snappy thanks for Linux and using i3wm!
Edit: apparently this post is incorrect and Oracle has, in fact, not acknowledged the breach.
Oracle finally admits its cloud was hacked https://cybersecuritynews.com/oracle-acknowledges-data-breach/amp/

@jerry Jerry.. come on.. This was old stuff. Their Gen 1 servers.. and the data was like 16 months old.. This isn't that big a deal. I mean, what are they going to do with old data? Data changes all the ti.. Oh.. it was .. uh huh.. and.. oh..
Umm..
disregard.

@XenoPhage it’s probably fine
@jerry Glad I only have a TTRPG server there.
@jerry Interesting. I thought they would hold off until TikTok negotiations are complete. But I assume there was a lot of pushback for this.
@jerry oof
"The breach was facilitated through a 2020 Java exploit that allowed the attacker to deploy a web shell and malware targeting Oracle’s Identity Manager (IDM) database."
@jerry serious breach of trust - we have some clients with very sensitive data in Oracle Cloud, and they won’t be happy about being lied to
@jerry they haven’t said anything in public, or told regulators, or told clients in writing, for what it’s worth
...
@GossiTheDog well that is interesting because it means the article I linked is incorrect.
...
@jerry it looks like an AI rewrite of the Bleeping Computer one
...
@GossiTheDog @jerry Yeah, their about me page doesn't fill me with confidence...

@GossiTheDog @jerry It's called vibe journalism, get with the times Kevin.
@GossiTheDog @jerry Sounds like a Verge article
@jerry I’ve been working with oracle idm products for years. It’s insane to me they’d have 11g versions still out there let alone unpatched
@jerry that was a heck of an "maybe if we deny it harder, it will all go away" investigation.
@jerry great containment though, denying first is the only thing most people will hear about this
golf time

@GossiTheDog did anyone checked who were betting on falling stock markets? xD
@GossiTheDog mission accomplished!
@GossiTheDog I'm curious to see how Fox covers this with a side-by-side of the markets crashing and him out on the green swinging at little white balls. Main street is watching their retirement accounts plummet and he is enjoying a golf outing.
@GossiTheDog pretty sure he’s golfed more than any president before him and tax payers pay for him
" (Ace Tomato Company)@GossiTheDog Nero fiddled… he golfs. Remember it’s a “little bit of pain”. Argh!
@GossiTheDog We're gonna win,... So hard. At Golf apparently. Everything else? meh.
