Off the top of my head: - substantially better performance on the same hardware, even moreso for larger range queries (multiple days) - no new query language to learn - significantly more expressive as you said - agents for scraping logs us

You only need the plugin: https://clickhouse.com/docs/observability/grafana - then you get basically everything natively.

Just replied to that question! Let me know if you have other questions.

Not really, ClickHouse is super forgiving so you can do something like: CREATE TABLE default.events ( `timestamp` DateTime `event` String -- e.g. 'product.updated' or empty/null `message` -- human read

Still via Grafana. I ran it side-by-side with Loki and despite trying to optimise Loki and using ClickHouse out of the box - it really was shocking how much faster ClickHouse was for every single query (e.g. in the last 12 hours give my the

ClickHouse replacing Loki finally made our observability stack feel 'right'. It really is a powerhouse for logs and general analytical queries.

It's worth noting that YouTube is optimising for the opposite: they want to prevent artificial view count inflation. Therefore, this behaviour (the view count not increasing when the videos are automatically accessed) would make sense.

Spotify are not enabling audio piracy by much because they don't provide an audio stream for songs via their API (beyond a short sample).

Looks slick! I've used Google Calendar to achieve something similar in the past but this looks better. Minor suggestion would be to remove the unlimited text messages from the plans. It's harder to change later when this takes off

There's one airline in particular that I dislike simply due multiple bad experiences. I vocalise this significantly. I still book their flights if it's the cheapest: I'd argue to myself that (a) flying is a transient experien

Landed in Sydney a few weeks ago. First visit so I ordered an Uber (as I've used it a lot, trust it, etc.). After we were picked up, the driver helpfully informed us if we'd ordered the same ride via Ola (he drives both), it'

It's easy to stick with something when it's working for you: > If I need to go somewhere, or get home, Uber has never let me down. The real test of brand loyalty it staying with them after a few bad experiences.

Not OP, but in the same boat, and currently travel regularly. I always almost all of them installed (e.g. Uber/Lyft/Ola/Bolt/Grab etc.) and pick the cheapest. For now, there's the added incentive that you never pay

Thank you so much for your incredible public service. I wish I could offer more than words. Lots of organisations discuss their values, but when push comes to shove, I don't believe many would even consider, let alone commit resources

I regularly see your comment (or ones for similar services) on these types of posts. I assume the strategy is working as you keep replying, but have you considered starting posting yourself, as a measure of "you can independently verif

As long as your (production) config files are not checked in with the code, then little difference. The challenge then is: where do you store them? Environment variables had the early upside of being first class in any virtually any deploym

Route* not right. As an example, you can send traffic destined for 142.0.0.0/8 via the SSH connection, and leave everything else untouched. Any application connecting to that IP range will be automatically tunnelled via SSH.

by jaysh 7y ago
The key difference is you can right full or partial traffic (by subnet) over SSH with applications not being aware - individual applications do not require SOCKS support.

If you're sticking with recurring, you'll still need to keep the data for some time after the payments stop. The PR will be disastrous for you if someone passed away, and therefore the payments stop, and then all of their data is

Those types of insurance polices payout on an event, so a monthly premium makes sense as nobody can afford to pay it upfront. I'd say your service is the internet version of someone creating their will, and leaving it with a friend or

I don't think that's a fair comparison. VPN services have significant ongoing technical costs: bandwidth, servers, labour (upgrades, support, security, incident resolution) etc which you must pay monthly but are never recovered wh

Curious to know this too. It doesn't seem unreasonable to grow the service to a model eventually where e.g. you charge a fixed price and get an initial consultation with a therapist + their research and setup as a single fee.

Wouldn't those users be better served by a $5 VPS? They're cheaper per-month, have no setup fee, and probably even get provisioned quicker.

Fun fact: "tar xf FILENAME" will auto-detect the compression when extracting FILENAME. You don't actually need to specify "z" for gzip, "j" for bzip, etc.

Try OpenVPNs Access Server - it comes with 2 free licenses and a web UI to configure it. Makes the entire process quite straightforward: https://openvpn.net/index.php/access-server/pricing.html

That won't be enough because the promo codes are shared amongst many users. If the promo code became the primary key, then only one user would be able to redeem it. If you introduced some combination of a user ID and promo code, then i
