    As an active maintainer of cert-manager (which is CNCF graduated), I can shed some light here. It's not just "give away trademarks for nothing"! The CNCF pays for cert-manager's te…

    They might try - that's why it's important if you're generating + committing generated code that you also have a CI step that runs before merging anything which ensures that the ge…

    Plug (but it's open source and free - and mentioned in the article!): We've been trying to address this in Kubernetes with trust-manager. [1] Trust bundles need to be a runtime con…

    Having the communication in cleartext also makes it much easier for attackers to interfere with! Sure, they can't modify the .deb without failing signature verification, but they _…

    This is super interesting; we had a fairly long discussion about whether or not to add this action to cert-manager[1], and ended up rejecting it in part because it increased the ri…

    This mirrors my experience, too. Building a simple RPM isn't too bad, even if spec files are a little arcane. Packaging for the AUR isn't super complicated as far as I've seen. The…

    Do you have an example of a situation where a problem in systemd required you to patch the source and recompile, or are you just making a general statement? Specifically a problem …

    I currently have a messy side project[1] where I'm writing bare-metal RISC-V machine code (i.e. writing in hex after assembling instructions by hand) targeting the SiFive HiFive1. …

    As others have said, if you're gonna be reaching that kind of timeout, the use case would come under this caveat I mentioned: > assuming the task isn't hugely inappropriate We have…

    My experience with serverless (mostly AWS Lambda) is that I've found 3 major use cases where it's been a very successful choice: 1. as a cron-style job (e.g. download a file every …

    I've been thinking about this sort of thing a lot recently in terms of our heavy use of Troposphere[1] which is a Python abstraction over AWS CloudFormation and how much better tha…

    I was happy with Namecheap until they redesigned their website and included a tonne of JS which slowed everything down. Doing something as simple as changing an A record became unb…

    The Economist has been editorially pro-legalization of cannabis for a long time so any propagandizing agenda you think you're "sensing" just isn't there; in fact their agenda is li…

    There are proposals to add generics soon: https://go.googlesource.com/proposal/+/master/design/go2draf... It's not a question of whether or not it's easy or hard; it's definitely t…

    At the BBC we use mutual TLS extensively in our cloud-deployed applications, across a lot of developers and different teams, for both service-to-service and developer-to-service au…

    At least one tiling Wayland WM already exists, as a drop-in replacement for i3: http://swaywm.org/ Hopefully your fears are sufficiently alleviated by that! I suspect you've got a …

    The article linked in this post directly addresses (3) as being an absolute non-issue spread by FUD, and the whole article is about (4) being very probably untrue. It also goes int…

    I'm not sure there's any obligation on the author of this article; if there's any, it's on the party that authorised the document to be released in the state it's in. You can be su…
