In our environment (our product is a windows desktop application) we use packer to build a custom windows server 2022 image with all the required tools installed. Build agents run on a azure vm scale set that uses the said image for the instance os.

The new app (XApp) is an improvement to the original one which worked maybe 15% of the time. Having to join your phone to the camera wifi is still a requirement

Well at least one did in the 90s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinking_of_the_MS_Estonia#Offi...

Indeed. In the past tunes would keep evolving. Now everything has that tuba bassline, soft sounding kick and different kind of snarling sounds with echo and that's it.

Where I'm from AMEX is basically used for free stuff and cancelled afterwards. And for curiosity like reservations for me and my fisherman's friends.

I also have ipod touch 1G in my drawer but instead of iOS it's running android (because why not). Or maybe it was dual boot, I can't remember. Android performance was pretty horrible and it was more of a party trick than actual usable system.

US Department of Defense has 14 /8 blocks. You'd have to wonder what they do with that large number of public IPs.

Sure, some companies have large blocks but that's nothing compared to that.

They use them like private IPs, across several air gapped networks. When I was enlisted we were putting them on desktops.

The DoD is also larger than any company.

By employees it’s the largest, though if Walmart bought McDonalds they’d have more employees (and perhaps as many chemical weapons).

How does this scale to other military globally. Does anyone else have an /8 block?

Last I heard, that any project needing more than one IP got a /24

Supposedly they do use some of it for honeypotting schemes but I imagine some of it is out of paranoia

Most of it is probably just because they invented IPv4, and were therefore able to keep as much as they wanted.

There's DC association [1] (RY) in Finland that operates a DC-3 and you can book a flight on it if you are into that. I think they mostly fly during the summers, though.
