Well there is initial setup at the very least. Hooking up whatever landline the client has with the SaaS solution. Then whenever a significant change is required, you need to call back your "expert". New location? xk$, etc. But I

Ansible Tower lets you execute a playbook via a web GUI, and keeps a log of who executed what. I'm not sure if it also shows some infrastructure graphs, but I'm talking about knowing if links are up, how they are firewalled, where

Like many here, I keep it described in ansible and documentation inside a git repository. But I feel like it's lacking. After a while you have so many ansible playbooks and roles that they cannot give you a birds-eye view anymore. I th

Unless something is keeping you there, just find a new job, here are some reasons: - If you reach this situation, you're more competent than the rest of the group. Nobody to learn from, time to go. - "Management" is a big mac

I would bet they still burst-out to AWS. For me the logic is more like: get cheapers machines (be it in-house or with cheaper alternatives), that run kubernetes for example, and monitor them with Prometheus. If you run out of capacity, defi

Do you still make a buck? Aren't you drowned by big players?

I find that there is often a problem of quality in products advertised. It may be products floating in Amazon searches because of fake reviews, sites with great SEO, and most ads online really.. none of those correlate to quality of product

On the bright side, maybe the cryptoworld is merely investing on better GPUs by metric-tons of cash.

This is going to be very easy to block: disable processing after page-load, block the most popular cryptomining JS scripts...

Usually the difference between Free and Open Source also shows in who backs it. Free Sofware comes from NGOs, whereas Open Source is either corporations looking to make a convoluted buck or developers looking for recognition. In that regard

I actually like submodules, maybe it suffers from the awkward-at-first perception people have about git in general.

The other day I was debugging an Ops issue only to find that it originated in a python-based executable. I soon found out it was a feature unfinished and buggy. There is a github issue that documents it, it has been around for no less than

First of all, malicious developpers can still ask for unreasonable access and often do. How many times did you want to install an app and wonder why they ask for insane permissions like sending text messages. You may be aware enough to refu

What I'm reading is that you like a process to be enforced to guarantee some level of quality, which is indeed something I like as well. However I believe good package formats and OS-level checks can get us there without compromising m

So you want to limit creativity and empower big companies even more by pushing forward walled gardens, because there are too many ads on the download page of one paint app out of a myriad? It's like adding regexp to have one more probl

Try Common Lisp, you get the basic blocks like a routing library, some templating and a db connector. Then you add up macros as you need them. Power without magic.

Oh I did not mean AWS would suddently rise their pricing, just that servers may scale, but so does the cost of the service, and inflexion points may bite you. Then, of course: "You're using the service wrong, silly, all you have t

He ends up being so tightly tied to Amazon it's scary to me. "You can scale all you want, servers are not your problem anymore!" proceeds to build a million dollar business "That'll be <way too many $$> and

I believe they do it because they've been elected to do so. It takes too much to reply: "Tell you what, I'm going to educate you better instead". Because you can educate all you want, you will not have results that helps

I cannot understand the need for a thing like Pocket. Much less why Mozilla prefers to keep it close, and even less for money. I mean, what is wrong with bookmarks and sharing links? Firefox can even send tabs to other computers I got linke

Which is not a bad call, looking modern helps recruit. It's great that technology x lets you build something in 1 month, but if it takes 6 months to find someone willing to do it, then you could have written it faster in almost any oth

It's a feature, I don't want a third party addon of an app (even firefox) to fiddle with gpg and my passwords more than necessary.

by FatalBaboon 10y ago
I understand this is a valid concern for some, but I generate random long passwords and never reuse them, so I can live with unencrypted entry names (that contains site+login)

Honestly, as a programmer/ops knowing git and always having a terminal somewhere around, I see no reason to use something else than https://git.zx2c4.com/password-store It uses a git repo as storage, gpg encrypts passw

Especially in a capitalistic world, I believe this is paramount. Oh you don't like google and facebook eventually abusing what they know about you? Don't use their services.
