Until recently, rewriting an established open source project could take years. With LLMs, that's changed. We're rewriting CRIU in Zig, and expect it to be complete in months, not years.

Another https://dagger.io fan here. Have been using it since late 2021 to continuously deploy a Phoenix app to Fly.io: https://github.com/thechangelog/changelog.com/pull/395 . Every commit goes int

I really like the work that you're doing Thomas, this is the right approach. FWIW, https://fly.io/blog/carving-the-scheduler-out-of-our-orchest... is one of my favourite posts on your blog. For everyone else readi

changelog.com used to be WordPress, then became a Phoenix app because it needed features that were hacky to implement & then manage in WP. It's more of a podcasting platform these days rather than a CMS. The code in this repo tells

I've never heard of ObjectiveFS, thanks for the share! I am more inclined to try out Rook, OpenEBS or Longhorn as open source alternatives. I've just added YugabyteDB to my explore list.

For what it's worth, Rook, OpenEBS or Longhorn are worth exploring.

My first Supermicro just turned 9 and it's still running strong, with a fresh install of Ubuntu 20.04 & k3s over the holidays. The second Supermicro turned 5, and has been running FreeBSD all this time like a champ. They are both l

We are both! I would also add lazy to that paradox. My surname is a letter off, and that's at close as it gets : ) The devil is in the details, there is more to it than dynamic & static content, we are using Fastly, otherwise we co

K8S is an API that the majority is agreeing on, which is rare. There is a lot of amazing tooling, a staggering amount of ongoing innovation, all built on solid concepts: declarative models, emitted metrics (the /proc equivalent, but wi

The primary reason behind the move was not wanting to manage CI. Since there were no options for a managed Concourse in 2018, we migrated to Circle, one of the Changelog sponsors at the time. Concourse worked well for us, we didn't hav

Yes, it does make sense to move static files to object storage, especially the mp3s. There is some ffmpeg-related refactoring that we need to do before we can do this though, and it's not a quick & easy task, so we have been deferr

I use Digital Ocean, Scaleway, Linode, Google, Cloudflare & Amazon on a daily basis, and I have experienced networking issues on all providers this year. It's all public, some even wrote lengthy post-mortems, most have been posted

That was my favourite part too! Yes, we could have mitigated that entirely with CDN stale caching, but it was good to see what happens today, and then iterate towards better Fastly integration.

Block storage is an area that we are working with Linode to improve. That's the random read/write performance, as measured by fio. We have mostly sequential reads & writes (mp3 files) that peak at 50MB/s, then rely on CDN

For a stable RabbitMQ cluster, you want dedicated RabbitMQ hosts with sufficient CPU, disk & network throughput for your workload. Most RabbitMQ users don't know what their workload is, or what their hardware boundaries are. We, th

And one more thing: the point of a system management tool is to have no dependencies. If you need to install or use anything other than the provisioner to setup a vanilla distro, you've been hustled. Bash is guaranteed to work everywhe

After 4 years of heavy Cheffing, I completely agree with most opinions expressed here. I'm pretty sure Puppet is just about the same, I have 0 experience with it though, I won't claim otherwise. I got frustrated enough with the Ca
