Totally. The fact Microsoft got Three Mile Island to reopen[1] to train AI is unbelievable. 1: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/sep/20/three-mi...

The trademark infringement claim is interesting. Is there any precedent for a company doing something like "Redis Service" or "Coca Cola Reseller" and getting away with it?

Absolutely. It's even been remarkable stable--programs written 20 or 30 years ago work without any kind of modification.

I was invited to a project that uses "notion.so" a couple weeks ago. It seems to work pretty well for what you're described.

Check out Hetzner (Germany) and Entrywan (US). They have good prices and a no-nonsense approach.

Me too. Was there some regulatory change that makes spraying SMS more difficult? It'd be great to hear from someone that works there or at Vonage which sees to have suffered the same fate.

Getac and Dell are active there, particularly for law enforcement. There's a good youtube channel[1] that compares them all from time to time. [1]: https://www.youtube.com/@Bobjohnson

AlmaLinux is a perfect replacement for scientific agencies. It's got the fastest turnaround time for security patches, an open community, and sustainable funding sources.

Exactly. There was the famous quote from a US presidential candidate who couldn't even remember what the DOE was called, even though he wanted to abolish it[1]. [1]: https://time.com/4598910/rick-perry-department-

Stealing copper cables from electricity posts is common throughout much of the world. Here's an example[1] robbery. It usually amounts to a gain of a few days' wages for the thief, and a loss of half a day's electricity for

My irc bouncer and two kubernetes clusters are running there. So far the service has been good.

Hetzner and Entrywan are pure-play cloud companies with good prices and support. Hetzner is based in Germany and Entrywan in the US.

Yes, the new channel, even with the bridges in tact, is still much quieter. Here's an sample from my client logs: $ wc -l tcl 2023* | awk '{s+=$1} END {print s/NR}' 116.333 $ wc -l tcl 2020* | awk '{s+=$1} END {p

At work, we upgrade when there's a compelling reason (structured logging in 1.21 came close; we haven't finished migrating from our old logger yet). Before deploying that version, we typically bump versions in all our Go repos an

Came here to say the exact same thing. chi has been reallly great for a couple projects--in fact, it's easy to forget it's even here. Moving them into the stdlib means they'll always be maintained and ensure that approach i

This is definitely a hard problem. One technique is to never upgrade clusters. Instead, create a new cluster, apply manifests, then point your DNS or load balancers to the new one. That technique won't work with every kind of architec

The government of Russia, home to the world's largest forest reserves, is trying to subsidize wood-frame buildings. Most modern buildings are made from stone, though, because of fire regulations[1]. 1: https://nordregioproj

The author describes the alerting and notification workflow really well. We use IRC at work for this purpose. Prometheus alerts flow into channels that anyone is free to join or leave depending on what they're working on at the given

Same here. ZNC on Debian (apt install znc) on an Entrywan instance. The freenode debacle impacted a handful of my favorite channels. #tcl is noticably quieter and a couple others are still trying to decide whether they're an official

Yes, present tense is more appropriate. Best of luck to you on what's next.

Right. I wonder what their cost structure was like. $10 million in revenue is enough to support a decent-sized team.

Right. Flux was a handy little tool[1] that sync'd yaml manifests in git repos to live clusters. The concept was fascinating, and the tool was well done--small and efficient. Easy to learn. In 2019, they announced they'd be &qu

Absolutely! I recommend Gentoo in a separate thread below. LFS has the topic of package management covered quite nicely I think[1]. They describe the contraints and approaches that might be possible, and what the real world solutions to t

Linux From Scratch (LFS)[1] is well known but doesn't get a lot of fanfare. It was designed as a learning tool, but the avenues for exploration are endless. 1: https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/
