I agree with your point about fragmentation. But isn't the "Year Of The Linux Desktop" just a joke at this point? Even more so now that desktop computing is becoming less and less …

This looks nice, particularly the automatic discovery. Any monitoring system I've ever worked with can check for expired certificates. So usually the issue at previous jobs has bee…

With that in mind I wonder what the uptime % of HN is, and if the master/standby setup involves automatic failover.

It just immediately struck me as a website optimised for a mobile device - but this is very much a personal preference/bias. As soon as I saw 4 small icons in the middle of a black…

Thanks for sharing this. I'm not a fan of this kind of design when browsing from my desktop, but I did enjoy browsing through your Projects list. NIGHT.FM is great!

Interesting! I've been thinking of building a NAS and hadn't considered the rockpro64. Have you found that 4GB RAM has been sufficient for ZFS? I'm currently running a small ZFS ar…

A quick glance at the documentation would seem to indicate that this is very similar to Ansible or any of the other major configuration management tools (Chef, Puppet etc). I'm not…
