Loki's fine if you are very cost sensitive and are comfortable with Prometheus, but it's not really a replacement for a text-search database like Elasticsearch. It also scales about the same, both being horizontally scalable (I&#x

Elasticsearch has built in horizontal scaling abilities, unlike Postgres/other SQL databases. It also has integrations with cloud providers for peer discovery, or can use DNS. Once a new data node is detected and reachable, the masters

Elasticsearch is not a pain in the ass to scale, it is one of the easiest databases to scale. Kafka is medium, since they ditched Zookeeper.

Agreed, though solar tech has gotten a lot better and cheaper in the last 20 years, so it's not completely fair to compare. Power storage is still an issue, but this is getting better and better each year with the prices of lithium iro

The article doesn't give any statement from her about the use of her photos in computer science, is there another quote somewhere?

Yeah this is a turnoff for me. I get that I could compile it myself but since the authors clearly don't want that, I'd rather just put my money into tools I know will work.

Diet sodas to me taste awful, but lately I've been putting a single packet of Equal in my coffee with some vanilla and it tastes great. Lord knows I can cut out the sugar wherever possible.

I love Rust the language, and the community is generally good, but for whatever reason modern identity politics has always been looming around its key members. Maybe just because it spun out of Mozilla and the Brendan Eich debacle, who know

Yeah it occurred to me that I glance down to see the likes and dislikes to see how credible some of the how-to videos I watch are. A lot of them are garbage or dangerous and that's reflected in the dislike count. Fortunately you can sc

Restic is great, I use it to back up my Nextcloud data from my raspberry pi to two locations, a separate USB drive and a remote DigitalOcean space. Very easy to use and all encrypted. I wrote a blog post about it actually! https:/&#x2

I think they are some weird line wrapping hint characters? If I paste it into Pop OS's text editor I can only see the dashes if I shrink the editor to cause word wrapping, and it will insert the dashes at the wrap. It seems like some U

The fear of looking stupid cripples me in just about everything I do. Work, both professionally and personal projects, competitive videogames, even playing piano or guitar. Maybe I can take a hint from this post and embrace it rather than a

This is awesome. I've always wanted to know how the actual layout portion works (or at least, can work in a simple way). I think these kinds of resources are really valuable and people should be empowered to make bespoke-ish web render

Hollywood is highly critical of the USA. Pretty much every sentiment in a post 90's war movie is "The US also did some bad stuff that we should feel ashamed about."

I have just recently done the same thing, Pop OS with Steam, on my gaming PC. It works perfectly so far and I'm so thrilled - CS Go, Planet Coaster, and most recently Gas Station Simulator have been playing great for me. It gives me a

That's fair, I'll have to think about that.

There's a difference between an accent and pronouncing words wrong. I would expect an English speech recognition system to handle the various accents there are in the world (the US has several accents of course), but it shouldn't

Wow you're right. This is conflicting as many of the words are not pronounced properly at all. Maybe it doesn't matter to the accuracy of the speech-to-text system, but it feels like training it with bad data.

Yeah man, I'm serious. It took 5 minutes 30 seconds on my machine to run microk8s reset. This is well within the tolerance window for something I choose to run every 2 to 6 weeks. This is not part of my normal development strategy. Del

I use MicroK8S for local testing of Kubernetes clusters on my laptop and it works pretty well. I like that I can just run microk8s reset to clear out the state so I can redeploy everything without fear of some lingering configuration laying

I don't know why people are saying the article uses a morally neutral definition of propaganda. It starts with saying "Propaganda is information (delivered through any medium) designed to persuade, manipulate emotion, and change o

It doesn't help that CRT proponents do not provide a complete, rigid definition of CRT, and might provide a very nice sounding initial explanation like it "explores the history of systemic racism in the US and how it still has tan

The UN does not decide what is _evil_ or not, and empathy is not some self-evident trait from which all objective morality comes from. You could possibly argue that empathy is evolutionary and aids society and in that way has some objective
