Because nobody ever mentions them by name, leaving all of us in the dark.

I really enjoy when it when someone injects a dose of "wacky" into something that is taken more or less for granted (Raft) to challenge the standard way of thinking about it. This …

All illegal or unethical means can be explained, but not justified, by their ends. I'm quite sure having unfettered insight into the browser environments of your users makes enforc…

You can pull another branch without switching first: git switch my-test-branch ... git pull origin main:main git rebase main

In 2023 I quoted a customer some 30 hours to deploy a Kubernetes cluster to Hetzner specifically to run self-hosted GitHub Actions Runners. After 10-ish hours the cluster was opera…

It sometimes blows my mind how questions which essentially boil down to "How do I best manipulate you for personal gain?" can be asked in such an unabashed fashion.

Introducing a separate charge specifically targeting those of your customers who choose to self-host your hilariously fragile infrastructure is certainly a choice.. And one I assum…

It is, yeah, the process is the same: boot into a rescue system running in memory, and do whatever you want with the disk.

You can always upload your own, it's pretty simple doing so in a reproducible manner using something like Packer, but even without it you can just boot a VM into a rescue system, w…

Technically there are two clients: The camera and whatever device is used to access the feed. I can absolutely imagine an architecture where video can be streamed in an encrypted m…

Doing a self-audit like this is actually an amazing idea. I consider and re-consider my choices every once in a while, but sitting down and doing an end-to-end write-up would put m…

Oh don't get me wrong, my claim is that they are not even clearing the absolute lowest bar when it comes to their stewardship of the Bitnami repositories: Do no harm.

Others have already provided good answers. I wouldn't classify it as evil if all they did was to stop maintaining the images & charts, I recognise how much time, effort and money t…

Between the VMware licensing changes and this, it looks like Broadcom is making a serious play at dethroning Oracle as the most evil software vendor. It's a shame that competition …

I suspect this might be helpful for minor integration challenges or library upgrades like others have mentioned, but in my experience, the vast majority of Rust compilation issues …

Thanks for writing all this down! I've written a lot of Rust, which was why I was drawn to RMK initially, but ran into a lot of the same headaches as the author, but without the pe…

I tried the same about a month ago and was unable to get anywhere, probably due to being very new to the custom keyboard scene and having only a very vague understanding of how qmk…

I think impact can have a big influence on mechanical hard drive longevity, so it could be that the way the ServerPartDeals drives were sourced, handled or shipped compromised them…

Postgres upgrades were actually annoying the last time I did, where I had to explicitly import data from a previous version into the new one, instead of the software just automatic…

I think it is a reference to the Chernobyl mini-series, where the Dyatlov character responds to the news of the level of radioactive contamination as "Not great, not terrible", una…

I've only used Bottlerocket in relation to EKS, and even then my interaction with it was pretty limited so I have no idea how it fares as a standalone operating system. My one big …

I set up a Talos bare metal cluster about a year ago, and documented the whole process on my website. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

It is precisely the large impact on GDP that poses a threat to the host nation. When companies like Novo Nordisk are such a huge part of the economy, they can exert disproportionat…
