Services should be decoupled from OS distro dependencies as much as possible, otherwise you will be bitten at an unexpected moment (e.g. upgrading your distro packages) by some pro…

Be careful if you use streaming replication - secondary replica leaks memory on 17.0 (16.4 is fine)

A personal warning about 17.0 if you use streaming replication: secondary replica leaks memory quite actively. 16.4 is OK.

Got an order of magnitude saving, mainly due to absurd AWS network traffic costs.

Why is watchdog needed at all? There is systemd or any other pid1, stdout/stderr should go to journal without any middleware.

I fail to see how being on that list implies anything. Imagine for example if you are a person with some status which implies that you are socially/politically active, and some ric…

The font rendering is poor, blurry on edges of the letters, even if I increase the font size (which works poorly anyway because the thin column container doesn't scale, keeps its w…

I wouldn't call it noodly.. If her composition was a bit more complex, it would be close to Debussy level probably. She's maybe like minimalist Debussy :) Check her "Ballad of the …

Nah, check Fostex TH-900 (25 ohm), for example

This is fake indeed. And it is strange and bitter for me to see it unflagged on HN

On mobile it is indeed at least not blurry but still harder to read..

The font is unreadable, very thin

I think, the problem is: the production of languages (and libraries especially) is way too much market-driven, there is too little cooperation, too little time spent to polish and …

If by "large" you mean e.g. "under relatively high load" then you can simulate this load and learn to deal with it. Populate your databases with a lot of generated data. Use load t…

While the "cloud" can look easier (and is indeed easier to start), there is quite big its own complexity around it - learning, tooling, specific problems, performance limits, costs…

I was tempted to write "you always need to put a many-years-battle-tested specialized server in front, if you mean protection from attacks", but nowadays even these servers get so …

Test for Demodex mites infestation too

Hetzner has its network hiccups sometimes , but AWS quality may be a joke if you really care about latency tails and even median under any significant load. I didn't analyze the ne…

The problem with Kafka is not Java nor ZooKeeper - it is that non-native (non-Java) clients are buggy as hell (last time I touched them), because everybody have to re-implement all…

It is OK to call whatever one needs actually - just minimize the usage of Bash language features (Python provides most of them). It is not complicated and requires no dependencies,…

Well, "daemonless" is kind of marketing - there is still this daemon-per-container 'conmon' thing https://github.com/containers/conmon and I don't get why it is needed because 1) w…

Probably, it's more fun to play with syscall filtering in containers or with fuzzers than to review side-channels or educating coworkers. Therefore, security theater.

The thing about compression is wrong. "HDR photography" compresess for the eyes (let's simplify and leave the brain out), it has nothing to do with displays. If a part of a photo i…

Exactly. Or even stricter. I've finally made a self-contained helper for that: https://gist.github.com/fillest/8d64f8fa0cdb1745bfc9c683cf39... Pure Bash is really not needed since …

Some software doesn't support that - building that way can randomly fail with very confusing errors.
