I'd say the biggest difference is Plex had years to get polish and mature. (After you turn off all the annoying features ...). So Jellyfin is missing little things, or has apparent…

Nearly all ISPs these days are deploying IPv6 for their mobile networks and core service networks, especially in less developed markets^1. The reason is simple, a cost justificatio…

> I've been using Duplicati to sync a lot of data to S3's cheapest tape-based long term storage tier. There are actually a lot of cheaper S3-compatible services out there, (like Ba…

Reminds me of the story of Polywater. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polywater

Stripe do this in a cool way. Their REST API is version based on date, and each time they change it they add a stackable compatibility layer. So your decade old code will still wor…

Ceph overheads aren't that large for a small cluster, but they grow as you add more hosts, drives, and more storage. Probably the main gotcha is that you're (ideally) writing your …

Arguably, "comma as a separator" is close enough to comma's usage in (many) written languages that it makes it easier for less technical users to interact with CSV.

A bit out of context, but it reminded me of this funny moment. The only winning move is not to play. https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&t=10&v=xOCurBYI_gY (Background: Someo…

https://www.openssh.com/legacy.html - Legacy algorithms in OpenSSH, which explains a little what they do. Then there is also your Identity key that you authenticate yourself with, …

Usually smooth. But if you're running a production workload definitely do your prep work. Working and tested backups, upgrade one node at a time and test, read release notes, wait …

Unfortunately clustered storage is just a hard problem, and there is a lack of good implementations. OCFS2 and GFS2 exist, but IIRC there are challenges for using them for VM stora…

> IP does indeed have broadcast/multicast capabilities that cause the sender's egress traffic to remain independent of the number of recipients rather than being equal to the sum o…

> Podman has a daemon mode ... Can you provide any documentation about that?

You can mitigate this by including PCRs that sign the kernel and initrd, however it means whenever you update you need to unlock manually. On Redhat-based distros this can be done …

> There has to be a better way. Probably Clevis and Tang, network disk decryption that can only decrypt if most of your servers are online. https://github.com/latchset/clevis https…

Depending on what's in the rocket, just leaving it to decay in the environment would likely lead to contamination. Especially if you have any Hypergolic fuels lying around (explode…

Because ZFS has one of the most robust RAID systems in an opensource filesystem, and is incredibly mature. And to be fair, almost every file system will have degraded performance a…

What would a NACK add? TCP can already send an ACK for the last successful sequence number, telling the sender to retransmit packets after that sequence number. Due to latency and …

Any linux process can run with elevated privileges (ie: as root) by setting a specific permission bit - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setuid . This is used for many things like pin…

Either put machinery in your schema migration tool to create indexes as a separate step, so they are easy to re-apply. This makes keeping indexes in sync between production and sta…

And maybe it wasn't removed by their choice. Below is a video of someone who had all their Spotify music removed with no recourse, due to a claim the were buying streams. No recour…

> The painful clunkiness of self-checkout was gone. It could be worse. Imagine a smart gate that refuses to open for wheelchair users, or claims the child in your arms is an unpaid…
