Due to trade tensions, first was not to sell some GPUs to China and then was 50% tax on revenue when NVDA sells GPUs to China.
Now,
Alibaba is performing a broader range of inference tasks with their own
new chips. This strategic shift seems to be paying off, as the company
just reported a impressive 26% jump in revenue within its cloud
computing segment!

If the docker image is running currently. First we need to try download the latest or stable version:
docker pull ghcr.io/blakeblackshear/frigate:stable
Or this option:
docker pull ghcr.io/blakeblackshear/frigate:0.16.0
Then if you are running with docker compose:
docker compose down frigate
Then run docker compose up:
docker compose up -d
A future with VMware? 🤔
The reality many IT leaders are facing today with VMware:
-Licensing changes that complicate budgeting
-Endless price increases squeezing margins
Reports
indicate that some customers have faced price hikes ranging from three
to six times their previous costs, with the most extreme case being a
reported twentyfold increase!
More and
more IT teams are making migration plans, exploring open-source
solutions like Proxmox or moving to public cloud platforms. The question
isn't if companies will migrate from VMware, but when.
Ready to discuss life after VMware? 🤝 The future of virtualization is changing—I am here to help you:

"This meeting is being recorded for quality purposes." Sound familiar? 🎙️
While
companies rush to record every meeting, they're creating massive
security vulnerabilities. ⚠️ What's really being captured in those
recordings:
-Confidential business strategies and financial data
-Personal conversations and sensitive HR discussions
-Client and proprietary details
-Internal passwords and security protocols
The risks:
🔹 Data breach exposure - One compromised system = thousands of sensitive recordings leaked
🔹 Insider threats - More people accessing recordings than attended the meeting
🔹 Compliance issues - GDPR, HIPAA violations around recorded data
🔹 Poor storage security - Recordings stored indefinitely without proper controls
Recent breaches show recorded meetings are goldmines for attackers, yet many treat them as low-risk data.
Better
approach: ✅ Record only when absolutely necessary ✅ Strict access
controls and retention policies ✅ Encrypt everything and audit regularly
Concerned about your organization's recording policies? 🤝 Repost to raise awareness! 🔄

My email was found on 8 different data breaches. This isn't just my story...
Here's
what's really concerning me recently how people normalized recording
every call, every brainstorm, every confidential discussion creating
massive digital footprints of sensitive conversations.
Crazy, so more data to be scrapped!
Other one, a staggering 16 billion passwords were recently exposed in what's being called a record-breaking breach.
People don't know the danger that this represent; More with AI entering the field.
One popular website is https://haveibeenpwned.com
This site serves two primary purposes for me: firstly, it obviously provides a service to the public. Data breaches are rampant and many people don't appreciate the scale or frequency with which they occur. By aggregating the data here I hope that it not only helps victims learn of compromises of their accounts, but also highlights the severity of the risks of online attacks on today's internet.
Secondly, the site provided me with an excellent use case for putting a number of technologies through their paces and keeping my hands-on skills somewhat current. Projects like this are an excellent way of staying relevant as my day job increasingly focuses more on software management and less on actually building things (which I happen to love doing!) It's been an enormously fulfilling journey that I've invited others to join me on by way of often blogging in depth about the process, something I intend to keep up as the site inevitably evolves over time.
-AWS remains the undisputed leader in cloud infrastructure, but here's what caught investors' attention: growth has decelerated to around 18% year-over-year. While still solid growth by most standards, it's the slowest pace we've seen from AWS in recent quarters.
-The competitive landscape is tightening. Microsoft Azure, though still about 60% the size of AWS, continues to close the gap with aggressive growth rates.
Are we seeing the beginning of a new chapter in enterprise infrastructure?
