I've used them professionally during 0.9 times (2008.) and it was already quite useful and very stable (all advertised features worked). 17 years looks pretty good to me, Proxmox w…

For some context, Passt is used by podman for rootless networking (by default from Podman 5.0) It is a noticable improvement for traffic heavy containers. https://github.com/contai…

Maybe this could be useful to libraries like psycopg3 to use something more simple/natural instead of this: https://www.psycopg.org/psycopg3/docs/api/sql.html (while I also agree i…

SuSE was my first Linux system and it helped a lot to spark my interest. Yast (software manager) and SaX (XFree86 configuration tool) were a Godsend for a noob like me in 199x. It'…

Podman beeing mostly compatible with docker was a wise choice. If you run rootless no way to break fw/network like docker can. With podman in mind, one ought to try buildah and sko…

Dunno, in new normal Germany, a refugee* from Palestine, seeking asylum from apartheid and maybe citizenship would first need to recognize the right of their occupator to exist. It…

Maybe shout out to HAProxy people, like many they've observed performance problems with OpenSSL 3.x series. But having good old OpenSSL with QUIC would be so convenient for distro …

The cynical voice inside me says it works as intended. The purpose of k8s is not to help you run your business/project/whatever, but a way to ascend to DevOps Nirvana. That means n…

So when I "sideload" HAProxy with my application, handling (incoming!) and outgoing http(s) and tcp connections, balanving, failover, logging and what not, that is cool now and I g…

You coveniently ignore the events leading to and the reasons for sanctions and bombardment: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO_bombing_of_Yugoslavia This was actually the second …

It been long since I have stopped following grsecurity, but I would not be surprised if segment registers are still used (e.g. Pax UDEREF) https://forums.grsecurity.net/viewtopic.p…

You can use pasta mode for rootless https://docs.podman.io/en/latest/markdown/podman-run.1.html#...

Yeah, lets treat all "sides" equally, since they are all bad (sarcasm ends) Go to https://www.icty.org/ , read about cases, verdicts and pleas: https://www.icty.org/en/cases/key-fi…

Dunno about others, but I always ask myself where these companies would be if their software was under non free license from the start. This is hostile to end users, small people a…

I am so pissed by this move, it is totally against the spirit of free software and GPL. Using additional contracts to subvert the free software licenses. You get to see the softwar…

Interesting read. I'd like to know more about alpine problems (even just to confirm my bias against it, unless space savings are the most important thing). For me, Hetzner is mostl…

Kafka doesn't do any stupid tricks, but uses the underlying platform for the full potential: https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#linuxflush With the usual recommended settings,…

Even simpler idea is just to disable turbo for "quiet" mode.

That is exactly the point, you should not use general string templating system for SQL queries, together with "roll your own" escape and validation mechanisms. I really don't see w…

That database stuff looks horrible. Why do they feel the need to introduce DB query templating into string templates? No matter what you do on the client side, the database engine …

... on the third hand it's better not to roll your own list in any language ;-) Joking aside, some stuff are currently really hard in Rust, but the rate of change slowed down, and …

My experience with indexing is similar. Up to lets say 1M docs it works fine, but after that it goes south. Even with auto-batch I had to manually prepare large bulk updates and wa…

You saved me from stating the same thing. As for the daily hot showers, they aren't good for your skin anyways. If I was living down there, I'd chose the interval approach, taking …

That is funny since poetry modus operandi is 'poetry run python ...' On topic, "Cargo for Python" should be official, singular (no competing standards), opinionated and fast (tm).

Reading this is really depressing. I just want Cargo for Python. Poetry it is for now, but it has quirks, and it is dog slow...
