    Hi, manuel from ondevice here. That's what happens internally (so yes, you could for example use `ProxyCommand ondevice pipe %h ssh` for other tools in the ssh ecosystem - e.g. in …

    Hi, Manuel from ondevice here. Here's a rough explanation: - ondevice makes use of `ssh`'s `-oProxyCommand`, which makes ssh send its protocol data to a command's stdin and expect …

    Wow, I don't think I would've even considered such an attack... DNSSEC, HSTS and Certificate Pinning would've made it more difficult to abuse this, but I guess it would've been pre…

    Hadn't heard of ipset before, but yeah, that seems to be a cleaner way to do this. Maybe open a feature request? From what I can tell, there are still a few minor details to be etc…

    I don't know if it's well known, but the so called 'private' interfaces DO offers aren't really private. Any other machine in the same datacenter can access your services. So if yo…

    GoRef is a small Go library I've built to better monitor a project of mine. I'm using it to measure the execution time of all my HTTP routes (and other important code paths) to tra…

    Thanks to you and the others for clarifying. For some reason it didn't occur to me they were talking about an ion engine. I've heard of them and their slow-but-steady acceleration …

    One thing I don't quite get is their claim that the rocket would need "just some solar panels" instead of a fuel tank when in the paragraph before that they talk about exhausting a…

    My guess is that especially if you're shopping in the 5$ price range, there's gonna be a much more important factor than some benchmark results: Availability and cost of extra feat…

    I've had a quick look at your site because I'm currently using DO and Vultr with a PeerVPN[0] setup to connect the individual hosts - which brings me to my question: Is it just a s…

    Has anyone of you experience with the fasthttp Go library[0]? Does it keep its promise in terms of speed? (I assume real world code would spend much more time in actual business lo…

    So I guess the best-practice approach would be to chown/chmod/rm the file after reading its contents (assuming it'll be restored when you restart the container). So far my approach…

    Hi, Manuel from ondevice.io here. I've been working on this side project for a couple of months now and finally want to bring it to a larger audience :) The main idea is to have an…
