This read more like an advert than a comment, and that is certainly the most loaded question I've ever seen in written English. Giant centralized troves of personal data are a huge risk to everyone. Civilization pivots and mutates rapi

Unsurprisingly for a spec from Fastly & CloudFlare, the privacy offered is predicated on the existence of large centralized providers that due to their size cannot be blocked. One outcome of this design is that if you want to offer trul

Far from it. It's quite likely going to be over 5 years if not a decade before it would be possible to run a pure-HTTP3 service without risking connectivity problems The problem is similar to the IPv6 transition, except thanks to the b

It always strikes me as uncannily brave to see a post like this. So many statements associated with one username.. - I no longer work at $company, and their stuff sucks - ergo, they fired me, or I left on bad terms - I clearly didn't g

The EU could build support for this 1000 different ways. They need only shake another GDPR-shaped stick that gently encourages business to buy local and the rest would be history. But they can't really do that yet, because there is no

This isn't the first route leading straight to satellites. I forget the name of the provider, but there is at least one big allocation where whatever you're sending to it is basically coming straight back down as radio.

Pretty hilarious, 32gb sodimms are only 150 GBP in the UK, Apple charging 200 for 16. Similarly, 2TB disk for 800 GBP, open market it's 219. Some PC laptop vendor could do a whole TV campaign based around the idea of turtle-necked folk

Basically most of what runs on k8s, including most of the k8s control plane, lives in a container. So for the most part, the only material concern about the host machine and OS is what kernel it is running, because that may limit what kind

I don't understand all this angst. In a well run infrastructure, Kubernetes basically just boils down to a new config file to describe some proxy rewrite rules, and how much RAM your thing needs. If you want to run VPS-sized pods full

Managing self-installed k8s is a pain in the ass right now, but not much more than trying to manually install Linux without using e.g. the Ubuntu installer. Would that put you off using Linux? Speaking as a daily Linux user since 1996, ther

Difficulty with git basics is the least of your worries. For example pycs are fundamentally racy, it is quite possible to have a .py newer than a .pyc depending on how unlucky you were with an in-progress deployment, or some tool that never

Highly recommend "export PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1" in your bashrc and just forget about it. Pyc files are still an important optimization on modern machines in some circumstances (especially with huge oft-restarted apps), but the

It's still possible, you just have to dance around a little more In one project we work around this by shipping a tiny wrapper in the APK to exec that then uses dlopen() on the target, which is now built as a library. Pretty sure a gen
