    This is nothing new and the reason I went from being the biggest media collector to collecting nothing now. To put it in perspective, I bought Get Him to the Greek on Prime video s…

    The whole reasoning behind this is flawed. “We don’t know how to scale Traefik so we went with haproxy” Well doh. Haproxy is designed for this. You can make haproxy serve copious a…

    Frankly at this point, it's just as insulting to claim it's shallow and worthless just because Claude did it. If there is a cool project that comes out the other side, who cares? I…

    Wow, I'm sorry you just don't see it. All you've demonstrated is that the left holds people accountable. But I'm sorry that you can't see how: * calling someone a "divisive figure"…

    "As far as you can tell?" Again, it's completely disingenous to compare random internet trolls on Reddit/Facebook/Youtube/etc to the office of the President. I invite you to actual…

    And you just expressed the thoughts of every engineer that writes code for a living who is either left behind, or embracing the technology to hit KPIs and QVRs.

    Is it actually audited? This is 2026, not 2014 when heartbleed came out. And it runs as PID1 on many distros and these are folks like RHEL, who have a huge interest in keeping it s…

    It's weekly for me. And that's just with PRs, not even builders. I can't imagine if I relied on their runners.

    Okay, well you’ve still not highlighted was is the preferred method here, since even with a 42u rack and a cluster in GCP, you still wouldn’t run kubernetes

    I’ve never understood the gatekeeping people wrap around kubernetes. Even with small 3 node cluster of of raspberry pis, you can run anything you can run in simple docker, and have…

    Which still means a single person with Claude can clear a queue in a day versus a month with a traditional team.

    Same experience here. At least for SBCs, I’ve bought a few orange pi rv2s and r2s to use as builder nodes, and in some cases they are slower than the same thing running in qemu w/b…

    I’m not even arguing against systemd or not. I’m just stating that Linux being technologically inferior because of something-something corporate overlords is… silly

    Trying to act superior with your oft-broken OS. “Inferior technology stack”. Didn’t I just read a few days ago about pf queues just now breaking 4Gbps? Look me up, I’ve written a l…
