It’s a trend. Years ago there were no patches finished after the main document. Then, it started appearing, to the point that they created a section warning about late patches. It was ok, because probably 99% of their clients must be on top of Linux x86-64. So, these patches were always available in time. This time, not even this patch was available. It was delivered a day later. Others, are scheduled for a week later, and sometimes, they reschedule.

I don’t have inside information. I only see the trend.

Years ago, patching a database was a big task, basically having to rebuild the dictionary. Then, they automated and changed stuff and things got super simple. Suddenly everything went downhill, to the point that last time I had to patch the patch.

I thought they were doing this on purpose to push us to their cloud service, but layoffs are a much simpler explanation. Occam’s Razor.

All hail the THORN Þ

Last week we received the CPU (Critical Patch Update) for Oracle products, which is a list of strongly recommended patches. They issue 4 per year (end of January, April, July and October). ALL patches were late.

Yeah, I don’t have a hot water line close to the toilet. I need the bidet to heat it.

I have a question. Does it heat up the water? The first jet that hits you is already warm? Water can be pretty cold around here.

Or, listen me out, they could work from home.

Loved the uniform detail

In Last of Us, the fungus is the Cordyceps. I don’t recall being about radiation. But, if you think STALKER…
