It refers to a technique also known as "port knocking" which consists of leaving a port closed by default and opening it upon receiving a message by another channel (in this case, a UDP packet). It was mostly in use when TLS hadn&

We still intend to publish the successor to Pithos at some point, it has seen a large overhaul in terms of how metadata is handled and relies on a in-house system for blob storage.

This is great news. At Exoscale we are now using Clubhouse but keep tracking product descriptions and design documents + ADRs outside of it. Tying these to the in-flight epics would be a very welcome change. One can only hope it will remain

Hey, Exoscale CTO here, Thanks for looking into the service. We're certainly not the cheapest in terms of pricing but I would also warn against using RAM prices as the sole way to gauge a service. To drive low prices a lot of VPS provi

I expect the situation to change over time, OpenBSD has invested a lot in working well with KVM which most providers are relying on now anyway. OpenBSD also has cloud-init support now[1] which makes interaction with terraform and ansible mu

Exoscale sits in the middle between AWS and Digital Ocean. It has a much narrower catalog than that of AWS but essential services needed to drive cloud application.

DO relies on KVM which OpenBSD has supported for a good while. If you are interested in something similar - including price-wise - to digital ocean with support for OpenBSD, I encourage you to try https://exoscale.ch

The code has just landed [1]. It's not a .cljc file yet, but fingers crossed this becomes a thing at some point. [1]: https://github.com/clojure/clojure/commit/3394bbe616c6202618...

Yes, I've read and see the difference from schema. The huge advantage with this, is that even though the approach is different, it supersedes schema's abilities and it will be a require away for every library and application autho

This is an important move for the Clojure language. As with all dynamic languages, and exarcerberated by the fact that it encourages relying on data first - as opposed to say, classes in other languages - Clojure puts the onus on the develo

We also owe the OpenBSD team OpenSSH, which greatly benefits from their attention to detail and commitment to small improvements towards better security. Of course software is never perfect, but it's nice to know the (small) subset of

The essential point the lengthy article makes revolves around debugging facilities for unikernels. While mostly true for MirageOS and the rest of the unikernel world today, OSv showed that it is quite possible to provide good instrumentatio

I'm very happy to see riemann featured here. I've been using it in production since early 2012 and contributed to it (intensively, at one point) as well. It's been a breeze, rather worry free and its very good collectd suppor

You're a bit harsh, last one was 28 days ago :-). To be honest, except for the big chunk of work that signature v4 represents, the lack of commit/releases stems from the fact that it has been stable.

On https://portal.exoscale.ch/register just hit "I have a coupon code". Otherwise, the default credit when you don't have coupon is indeed CHF 5 which gives you a couple of days to try out.
