I share your disdain for buzzwords but SRE is definitely a different role.

Ah got it, thanks. I thought you were testing the image somehow, a bit like inspec. Still cool though, nice.

Could you tell me more about the playwright tests? From what I can see it's a web testing framework, I don't see how that fits in here.

Consul is built upon the Serf library. https://www.serf.io/intro/vs-consul.html

Yes, the article did.

Framework has open sourced the EC firmware, not the boot firmware. The UEFI implementation is still closed source proprietary InsydeH2O software.

Hashicorp's Vault works quite nicely. Teleport is another tool I believe handles this but haven't used it personally.

Right, running ECS on EC2, not Fargate on EC2. When ECS launched it only had the EC2 launch type (where as you said you must manage your machines). Fargate then came along for both…

Fargate on EC2? Sorry you’ve lost me, I understood Fargate to be a layer of AWS managed compute for ECS or EKS deliberately instead of EC2.

I would imagine so the default behaviour could be identical across platforms.

I agree that it’s boring and works well. It’s also what I’m most worried about finding a reasonable alternative, we can’t just not update Vault. Sadly Secrets Manager doesn’t hit a…

What are you looking at for a Vault replacement?

Obviously it’s a different OS and possibly isn’t relevant to you but I’ve found solace in OpenBSD (and other BSDs) in the search of “simplicity” of “the old days”.

I’d like to know more about AMD specifically too. I’m well aware that PSP is their equivalent but there seems to be so little information out there about it. Is it really an equiva…

That’s one I heard about a while back but haven’t given it a shot yet. I will now, thanks.

Couldn’t recommend it more. Simply beautiful game. Definitely agree with going in completely blind, try not to even read the Steam description, discovering the core mechanics was v…

Bingo!

It is possible to buy an anonymous eSIM, the only provider I have come across won’t allow outbound SMS or calls though. Inbound SMS and calls as well as data are fully functioning.…

Are you perhaps conflating Discord and Discourse? Discourse is certainly a forum in my eyes.

I tend to use a similar approach, though with Terraform var files instead of env vars. It was also possible to have this work with TF Cloud (and presumably Enterprise?) with a sing…

You won't be able to build and deploy iOS apps without running OS X - so that's not an option from Linux/Windows unfortunately. You can use something like Appcelerator Titanium[1] …
