I really enjoy when it when someone injects a dose of "wacky" into something that is taken more or less for granted (Raft) to challenge the standard way of thinking about it. This article flipped my understanding of split-brain or

All illegal or unethical means can be explained, but not justified, by their ends. I'm quite sure having unfettered insight into the browser environments of your users makes enforcing your Terms of Service much easier, but held against

In 2023 I quoted a customer some 30 hours to deploy a Kubernetes cluster to Hetzner specifically to run self-hosted GitHub Actions Runners. After 10-ish hours the cluster was operational. The remaining 18 (plus 30-something unbillable to sa

It sometimes blows my mind how questions which essentially boil down to "How do I best manipulate you for personal gain?" can be asked in such an unabashed fashion.

Introducing a separate charge specifically targeting those of your customers who choose to self-host your hilariously fragile infrastructure is certainly a choice.. And one I assume is in no way tied to adoption/usage-based KPIs. Of co

It is, yeah, the process is the same: boot into a rescue system running in memory, and do whatever you want with the disk.

You can always upload your own, it's pretty simple doing so in a reproducible manner using something like Packer, but even without it you can just boot a VM into a rescue system, write your OS of choice to the VM disk and reboot.

Technically there are two clients: The camera and whatever device is used to access the feed. I can absolutely imagine an architecture where video can be streamed in an encrypted manner, or stored in encrypted time-stamped blobs, allowing t

Doing a self-audit like this is actually an amazing idea. I consider and re-consider my choices every once in a while, but sitting down and doing an end-to-end write-up would put me a lot more at ease. Like you, I also considered the implic

Oh don't get me wrong, my claim is that they are not even clearing the absolute lowest bar when it comes to their stewardship of the Bitnami repositories: Do no harm.

Others have already provided good answers. I wouldn't classify it as evil if all they did was to stop maintaining the images & charts, I recognise how much time, effort and money that takes. Companies and open source developers ali

Between the VMware licensing changes and this, it looks like Broadcom is making a serious play at dethroning Oracle as the most evil software vendor. It's a shame that competition for this position has been ramping up lately.

I suspect this might be helpful for minor integration challenges or library upgrades like others have mentioned, but in my experience, the vast majority of Rust compilation issues fall into one of two buckets: 1. Typos, oversights (like whe

Thanks for writing all this down! I've written a lot of Rust, which was why I was drawn to RMK initially, but ran into a lot of the same headaches as the author, but without the perseverance to resolve any of them. I did manage to get

I tried the same about a month ago and was unable to get anywhere, probably due to being very new to the custom keyboard scene and having only a very vague understanding of how qmk/rmk/vial/keymaps fit together. Thanks for wr

I think impact can have a big influence on mechanical hard drive longevity, so it could be that the way the ServerPartDeals drives were sourced, handled or shipped compromised them.

Postgres upgrades were actually annoying the last time I did, where I had to explicitly import data from a previous version into the new one, instead of the software just automatically detecting that the data was a version behind and doing

I've only used Bottlerocket in relation to EKS, and even then my interaction with it was pretty limited so I have no idea how it fares as a standalone operating system. My one big experience with it was the recent bug which (as I recal

I set up a Talos bare metal cluster about a year ago, and documented the whole process on my website. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

It is precisely the large impact on GDP that poses a threat to the host nation. When companies like Novo Nordisk are such a huge part of the economy, they can exert disproportionate influence on society itself. Our economy is absolutely ben

I'd be very interested to know as well. Although the last time I attempted to run kanidm in a containerized fashion it left a lot to be desired. The software is (perhaps expectedly) not really built to support semi-ephemeral lifetimes,

You can build a custom iso with a "talos.config" kernel parameter set which instructs Talos to download and apply a configuration on boot.

I haven't actually. I believe they do offer modest amounts of credit for creating useful libraries, documentation and such targeting their platform, but I never really looked into it.

As diggan said, there's usually at least one of their dedicated server offerings for which setup fees are waived, so I figure my tests would use the API to find out which one and use it :)

This is actually great. I maintain a library[1] for interacting with the Robot interface using Rust, but testing is heavily gated because of the potential costs it might incur, which is why a lot of the purchasing/cancellation APIs hav

This got me curious (and a bit worried) so I checked, and it seems like it might have been differently licensed for commercial use around the time you mention, but that no longer appears to be the case: https://caddy.community&#x
