    Not for PostgreSQL, but for MariaDB we run replicas in FreeBSD jails on a server with lots of ZFS space. The jailed Maria instances just stop every hour (so the DB flushes everythi…

    Yes, this really is an example of someone who "made it" and made a large amount of money that has allowed them to turn around and choose a simpler life. "Oh, I just moved myself an…

    It's not like VMFS (not a cluster filesystem), for Proxmox+iSCSI you get a large LVM PV that gets sliced up into volumes for your VMs. All of your Proxmox nodes are connected to th…

    Yes, when dementia has you terrified of, or raging at, your closest loved ones (who you don't remember at all so you think they're demons or strangers) all day every day to the poi…

    Yeah, kinda have to agree. I like traefik fine but getting mTLS working with it was a serious pain and the docs for doing so were _terrible_, had to keep searching around and pieci…

    Anecdotal but btrfs is the only filesystem I've lost data with (and it wasn't in a RAID configuration). That combined with the btrfs tools being the most aggressively bad managemen…

    Yeah, if your device is lost or destroyed and you rely on passkeys, you are well and truly f**ed. Your only hope is if you have recovery passwords stored in a password safe or mana…

    Hit the same issue, but it goes fine if you just clone the repo, cd down into the cmd directory and 'go build -o doggo'.

    I'm with you, I need to read up more on where timeseries could benefit, at work we have a PostgreSQL instance with around 27 billion rows in a single partitioned table, partitioned…

    I got a Latitude 9430 on eBay for $520. This thing is an amazing laptop and I'd put it right there with the Macs I have to work with at dayjob, as far as build quality/feel.

    Anyone who has owned a Mini would probably question whether their QA even gets that far.

    Maybe it depends on the McDonald's franchisee in your area, I never see free fries in the app but it's always "any size fries for $1.29" (which is still massively cheaper than thei…

    Works well to just spin up a python:3.11 container via Docker or Podman and do the pipx + reddit-user-to-sqlite installations, then run the utility in there. You can mount some fol…

    1. Install regular old Docker 2. Type 'docker swarm init' 3. There is no 3, you're literally finished and now have a full-on Swarm node w/ all features.

    Great question, and yes, some of the better devices implement a small buffer so may be able to keep a day or even two in memory while they're out of cell coverage. If you activate …

    What about it isn't idempotent for you? Are you falling into the anti-pattern of using shell/command all over the place instead of real modules? We have playbooks installing and ma…
