With servers, if they have a huge uptime and sysadmins etc are afraid to restart them, then they have "pets" with high liability, requiring Infra as Code https://docs.sadservers.co…

Fedora may be becoming the default for desktops, not for servers (Debian possibly the default for servers).

Yes, the website is for prospective (and current) clients. A small annoyance in startup circles is getting feedback about my website front page along the lines of "I didn't underst…

There is def some luck involved, as in you don't know beforehand what's going to be successful. "You find a problem in a niche, say accounting for plumbers, and build for that, the…

They have saved _more_ than two hours per dev and week. There's a compound factor and now code can be more reliable (less outages or emergencies fixing bugs) etc. Also having a san…

Nice, this is like SadServers with a twist, excellent :-)

Suerte! Unrelated, growing up in Spain it always baffled me that identification was based on a photo on your DNI. Stories of siblings or even friends that had a passing resemblance…

hello, thanks for the feedback. Just deployed a new image that only checks for the objective, not at what docker network somebody uses. It is hard to have a checker that eliminates…

Hello, SadServers guy here. We have scenarios running on k8s, both on single VMs (the ones you can see in the scenario list) and we also have a beta/PoC k8s cluster where we curren…

Hello, creator here. Have you checked your dashboard? otherwise please contact us (email or form in the website) and we'll be happy to help

(Creator here) thanks! and we may at some point get into Windows :-)

Hello, SadServers guy here. Free VMs are sandboxed (no way in or out other than coming in through the proxy) for security reasons. Paid accounts have VMs with internet access and S…

Checking out how the platform works was two clicks away: home -> give me a server. I don't know of any other SaaS which gives you a VM with one click without any registration but w…

hello, creator here, sorry about that. In this case you can click again on the "Open the Server Terminal in a New Window" button

I haven't set up an advent event (maybe I should) but you can do yourself a challenge a day from SadServers.com

This is similar to our experience migrating a SadServers k8s service; basically Hetzner is way cheaper and more performant than the big cloud providers BUT you have to take into ac…

Big cloud provider (AWS, Azure, GP) is great for all the managed ecosystem; if you mostly only need raw computing (CPU, memory, bandwidth), then a provider like Hertzner makes a lo…

I love Asciinema and have made a small contribution, support the project with a donation: https://docs.asciinema.org/donations/#individuals If you want to see how Asciinema looks w…

Hola, I may try this out (once the HN hug of death slows down). At SadServers we ran a GKE cluster with 0.2 vCPUs workload for a PoC at it was costing us CAD $50/day until we figur…

shameless plug: you can practice this in a free VM https://docs.sadservers.com/docs/scenario-guides/practical-l... (there's a typo there to keep you on your feet)

At SadServers we use Asciinema to record some scenario sessions, this is how we did it: https://github.com/sadservers/sadservers?tab=readme-ov-file#... (we still have some issues t…

Good food for thought but the article assumes how currently DevOps and Dev teams (and there's also an Ops team?) operate and there's a lot of different ways in how "DevOps" is done…

You area a Site Reliability Engineer and you get a page notifying your service is down and you rush to see your logs, metrics and other dashboards, start communicating in Slack and…
