Kernel 4.18 is _ancient_, weird to test on that. Also I wonder if the whole performance increase can't just be achieved by lowering the readahead size a bit. I see in their notes t…

I get the feeing you're looking at this through the specific lens of a programmer. Terraform isn't made for programmers - you'll miss all the flexibility a real language gives you.…

Personally I just push to an offsite restic backup on a cheap Hetzner storage box. It's not super fast and only hosted in EU AFAICT but it fits the bill for being cheap and reliabl…

As others have noted, PowerToys ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_PowerToys ) has a long history. I have some fond memories of the TweakUI utility by Raymond Chen as it mad…

Oh yeah it's definitely a weird Translate bug. "Krigsskipet gjør en unnamanøver" translates to "The war ship is doing nightmare". "først en unnamanøver" to "first a young man", "un…

The original is "Krigsskipet gjør først en unnamanøver i siste liten". Now, I don't speak Norwegian but I'm guessing the word "unnamanøver" is pretty versatile considering the tran…

Workload is mostly writing incoming metrics from many dynamic instances (AWS). In 2015 Influx was at pre-1.0 and definitely had a tendency to "fall apart" under stress - for one, t…

While it's a relatively young product, I've been running InfluxDB at scale for over a year in production and it's been a joy to use. Hundreds of hosts reporting stats every 10 seco…

I'd like to second this, while also noting that a side-effect of this noodling-with-languages is that my fully English OS and browser is getting a page with some content (full para…

Kind of amazing that the state of the art in this area hasn't changed in nearly 10 years. The marketing angle is funny as well - everything has to be a cloud now. I think I used to…

> You don't hear the former at all; but you hear the latter as "plus plus," don't you? I really do not. A short silence, both of them. I suppose it depends on how you normally code…

The "it works after traceroute" line was the moment I was sure it was ARP caching. Then I was just wondering if it had anything to do with AWS specifically, which could have pointe…

Ants. This is a drone in the insect hierarchical sense. It implies independent behaviour of duties and expendability, mostly.

No matter how incredible the software is, I don't see a solution for the core problem that they will need to solve: battery vs weight. It's revealing that there are no prototypes s…

In the video, Adam glances at the guy behind him in line as he says "checking my statement for sketchy charges". Dude looks a lot like weev. Not sure if it's the guy himself, but t…

This is what I believe will be a (perhaps minor) roadblock towards adoption of these devices. It's relatively cheap compared to what's on the market now and appears very high quali…

Indeed, cssh is great for getting a quick visual on a few servers, but you're pretty much limited to what will fit on your screen. Ansible really shines when you scale it up a bit …

Exactly. The simplest explanation in my mind is that it's a white balance issue. Most photos are taken in some form of daylight, which is generally in the orange range without a pu…

This is simply a side-effect of how DNS updates. The data is propagating right now, as the root nameservers for the .biz tld are already returning the Microsoft DNS servers as the …

Leaving aside the obviously deficient sysadmin work here: the timeline of the story doesn't add up. I can only hope this explanation is not accurate. You find notes in your AWS con…
