thought this might be about kim dotcom -- is he 50 yet?

I'm sure you know what you're taking about -- yet, your response reminds me of https://youtu.be/aWfYxg-Ypm4 "drizzle works on the edge"

Thank you for that comment, Mike :-) I was looking for that type of response here :-). As expressed many times: thank you for your work.

Loving your work, as always!

You have some really nice shots there, even with the rare wild dog! Jumping on the shameless plug train here -- just a few days ago I decided to finally show some of my photography…

Via Ukraine war footage I learned that "getting off the X" is an established military idiom (for leaving a dialed-in target area of e.g. artillery). Now it might find a newer even …

I want to add that I have learned so much by following the nginx mailing list for more than a decade. Can we give a huge round of applause to Maxim Dounin for community support and…

Bonjour! I’d like to share a rather small project which I believe may be of use to some of you. https://github.com/jgehrcke/github-repo-stats is a GitHub Action that I started buil…

I keep being impressed by this project. Has served me so well over the years, and the depth of the technologies is so exciting. Assembling ffmpeg command line arguments is a medita…

Would you mind explaining? :-) I'm okay with potentially looking stupid here and ask for all of us who don't get this pun!

By the way Mike I think https://techspot.zzzeek.org/2015/02/15/asynchronous-python-a... is still one of the best articles on the topic of "python and concurrency". So many importan…

I have also liked At Eternity's Gate https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/At_Eternity%27s_Gate_(film) so so much. If you can, first watch this, and then "Loving Vincent". I did this coi…

JP from Opstrace here. Great questions! > Are you doing anything to improve log search versus an Elasticsearch cluster, for instance? No. You're right, Loki is not designed for bui…

Haha, sure. I suppose that for example AWS has little incentive for allowing for example Datadog to to offer a special per-AZ endpoint. But hey. Here we come into play :).
