It refers to a technique also known as "port knocking" which consists of leaving a port closed by default and opening it upon receiving a message by another channel (in this case, …

We still intend to publish the successor to Pithos at some point, it has seen a large overhaul in terms of how metadata is handled and relies on a in-house system for blob storage.…

This is great news. At Exoscale we are now using Clubhouse but keep tracking product descriptions and design documents + ADRs outside of it. Tying these to the in-flight epics woul…

Hey, Exoscale CTO here, Thanks for looking into the service. We're certainly not the cheapest in terms of pricing but I would also warn against using RAM prices as the sole way to …

I expect the situation to change over time, OpenBSD has invested a lot in working well with KVM which most providers are relying on now anyway. OpenBSD also has cloud-init support …

Exoscale sits in the middle between AWS and Digital Ocean. It has a much narrower catalog than that of AWS but essential services needed to drive cloud application.

DO relies on KVM which OpenBSD has supported for a good while. If you are interested in something similar - including price-wise - to digital ocean with support for OpenBSD, I enco…

The code has just landed [1]. It's not a .cljc file yet, but fingers crossed this becomes a thing at some point. [1]: https://github.com/clojure/clojure/commit/3394bbe616c6202618..…

We also owe the OpenBSD team OpenSSH, which greatly benefits from their attention to detail and commitment to small improvements towards better security. Of course software is neve…

This is something we struggled with at Exoscale, I took the time to do a small write-up of how we approach reset requests here: https://www.exoscale.ch/syslog/2016/04/13/i-lost-my-…

The essential point the lengthy article makes revolves around debugging facilities for unikernels. While mostly true for MirageOS and the rest of the unikernel world today, OSv sho…

I co-founded it :-)

I'm very happy to see riemann featured here. I've been using it in production since early 2012 and contributed to it (intensively, at one point) as well. It's been a breeze, rather…

You're a bit harsh, last one was 28 days ago :-). To be honest, except for the big chunk of work that signature v4 represents, the lack of commit/releases stems from the fact that …

While not 100% necessary, header macros to implement lists, queues (and even trees, see: http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/sys/tree.h?... ) are common in C. They fir…
