I've been a MikroTik fan since the beginning of my career some 15 years ago now. I have used the MikroTik router and Ubiquiti AP combination ever since. With that said, I can absol…

An EU replacement for PagerDuty, focusing on the absolute basics - SSO as the minimum even on free, no AI driven workflows, overviews etc. but may include ML/AI driven insights in …

Add the insult that these two officials have no doubt been suspended on full pay and benefits while the year-long investigation takes place at great expense to the tax payer. After…

I came across this very same issue with fika, a community-made mod for Escape from Tarkov. One player would consistently fail to join games and it took ages to figure out the diffe…

The Bottlerocket issues really surprise me - not an experience I've shared even with heavy use. I use EKS with Bottlerocket + managed addons + Karpenter, and our security team is s…

I'll carve out some time to add a discussion as I've become quite passionate about artifact storage in the last 18 months as a result of having to look after this behemoth. Air-gap…

I’m a fairly heavy user of the JFrog platform with Enterprise+, Xray, their new Curation license, and my org is spending in excess of $500k/year on Artifact storage. Not including …

This resonated hugely with me, with the grand addition that I moved to a different country a week before COVID lockdown. I’ve since reached a lot of pretty big life milestones (hou…

Yes, literally impossible. The barrier to entry for anyone on the internet to create a proxy or VPN to bypass your geofencing is significantly lower than your cost to prevent them.…

The problem is far more nuanced than the internet simply becoming too centralised. I want to host my gas station network’s air machine infrastructure, and I only want people in the…

I get your gripe, but the free protection that Cloudflare offers automatically often far exceeds the effort required to thwart some random script kiddie’s attacks on my client’s Wo…

I thought Google was _always_ like this. At least going back to 2015 when I left the ISP game, peering with them was notoriously difficult if you didn't have the traffic volumes re…

One of the basic requirements for an ancestry visa.

My father (born in ZA) had to re-register his birth at 65 when emigrating to the UK on a visa. The ZA government had no record of his birth, despite him having a drivers license, p…

> sanctioned efforts like this are almost always temporary. The majority of the illegible work that occurs in large organizations is still unsanctioned. The title “DevOps Engineer”…

Having grown up in South Africa, having a physical document to prove who you are, along with an identity number is just so normalised. When I moved to the UK later in life, I found…

Classic Salesforce. The exact same thing happened with our org and Heroku. Zero empathy, just pony up or we trash your company.

I’d also like to point out that those Kingston A400’s are notoriously terrible and had a firmware bug that caused the behaviour you describe if you don’t update it before it happen…

This is brilliant. I have dreamed of a way to force companies to build in parental control to block short-form media. For the kids (it's never for the kids).

Pretty accurate having worked for startups and $ENTERPRISE alike. I recently switched from startup to $ENTERPRISE and the thing I’m struggling with the most is time zones. My manag…

Your SSL certificate for zothub.io has expired in case you weren’t aware.

> most other countries have similar rules. This is the first instance I’ve heard of where salaries aren’t considered remuneration for basic labour. It’s a fairly weird interpretati…
