I always thought it was heavy on operational knowledge too. Hence why we haven't moved to it yet.

VMware is still seen as "platinum" level in my org compared to Proxmox, which I guess to a certain degree is true. But the features in use are basic VMs with vMotion. Proxmox provides that out of the box. Granted we've had a

For better or worse, the free plan that Cloudflare has provided me for 10 years for my 20-30 hobby/personal domains has gotten them several hundred thousand dollars in business.

I never drank the Opus 5 koolaid and stuck with 4.8 while my colleagues moved to 5. My major annoyance is pull requests that 5 opens with huge descriptions based on simple code changes. At this point I have stopped allowing CC to create com

I've been a MikroTik fan since the beginning of my career some 15 years ago now. I have used the MikroTik router and Ubiquiti AP combination ever since. With that said, I can absolutely agree that their UX is terrible for anyone who do

An EU replacement for PagerDuty, focusing on the absolute basics - SSO as the minimum even on free, no AI driven workflows, overviews etc. but may include ML/AI driven insights in future since that’s the way the world seems to be going

Add the insult that these two officials have no doubt been suspended on full pay and benefits while the year-long investigation takes place at great expense to the tax payer. After which they are moved to a different government department a

I came across this very same issue with fika, a community-made mod for Escape from Tarkov. One player would consistently fail to join games and it took ages to figure out the different components that were failing. The code intentionally se

The Bottlerocket issues really surprise me - not an experience I've shared even with heavy use. I use EKS with Bottlerocket + managed addons + Karpenter, and our security team is super happy that _nobody_ has access to the underlying n

I'll carve out some time to add a discussion as I've become quite passionate about artifact storage in the last 18 months as a result of having to look after this behemoth. Air-gapping is also pretty important - JFrog supports gra

I’m a fairly heavy user of the JFrog platform with Enterprise+, Xray, their new Curation license, and my org is spending in excess of $500k/year on Artifact storage. Not including my time babysitting it. I’d love to see the end of it,

This resonated hugely with me, with the grand addition that I moved to a different country a week before COVID lockdown. I’ve since reached a lot of pretty big life milestones (house, career, spouse, kid (soon)) and realised my life was sti

Yes, literally impossible. The barrier to entry for anyone on the internet to create a proxy or VPN to bypass your geofencing is significantly lower than your cost to prevent them.

The problem is far more nuanced than the internet simply becoming too centralised. I want to host my gas station network’s air machine infrastructure, and I only want people in the US to be able to access it. That simple task is literally i

I get your gripe, but the free protection that Cloudflare offers automatically often far exceeds the effort required to thwart some random script kiddie’s attacks on my client’s Wordpress site. Add easy caching, tunnels, automated certifica

I thought Google was _always_ like this. At least going back to 2015 when I left the ISP game, peering with them was notoriously difficult if you didn't have the traffic volumes required. Our network suffered from asynchronous routing

My father (born in ZA) had to re-register his birth at 65 when emigrating to the UK on a visa. The ZA government had no record of his birth, despite him having a drivers license, passport, tax returns for 40+ years… This is the least bit su

Having grown up in South Africa, having a physical document to prove who you are, along with an identity number is just so normalised. When I moved to the UK later in life, I found it absolutely bizarre that there’s no mechanism to uniquely

Classic Salesforce. The exact same thing happened with our org and Heroku. Zero empathy, just pony up or we trash your company.

I’d also like to point out that those Kingston A400’s are notoriously terrible and had a firmware bug that caused the behaviour you describe if you don’t update it before it happens. I purchased 10 genuine new from a verified vendor and 6 h
