  • I don’t have a proper answer but I know exactly what you’re talking about. I’ve seen it happen with channels like GameXplain, A+ Start, and LTT as you said.

    It seems like it comes from long-term social engineering where the hackers pretend to be a potential sponsor and eventually send a .zip with a dodgy screen saver file that rips the session cookies from the PC’s browser.

    Why they choose Musk? I assume, like you said, people who like him are more likely to fall for scams. I’ve never watched too much of the stream, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a crypto scam in there.






  • The cloud is over-engineered and over-priced for personal projects and small groups. If you’re a larger company and want high-availability and speed globally, then you’re probably wanting a cloud provider nowadays unless you’re really wanting to manage hardware yourself.

    Setting up your own website for fun or something for your local business obviously doesn’t need a fancy Kubernetes setup in EKS. Hell, even a moderate business could be fine if you’re not expecting usage spikes or latency issues (although you’d probably want more than a repurposed desktop).
