I've looked over the code, and some things seem a little odd to me. The article starts by mentioning how insecure the browser is, apparently even cookies aren't secure. But then the API to talk to the BFF uses.... a server-side se

I was able to make a uWebsockets adapter for NestJS pretty easily. It's a bit sensitive of a library to integrate though, a single write when the connection is gone and you get a segfault, which means a lot of checking before writing i

I was under the impression that the underlying net/http library uses a new goroutine for every connection, so each websocket gets its own goroutine. Or is there somewhere else you were expecting goroutines in addition to the one per co

That's just an arms race. The kid will find a new favorite website to play games on, there seems no end to them. There's endless websites out there that are more appealing than doing homework. I have a very locked down network, th

Yes, that was kind of my point. Self-hosted negates the need, but most can't self host.... so that leaves end-to-end encryption the best intermediate step.

I self-host Immich and its definitely my favorite web photo system. One thing with Ente that aligns more with Mozilla's approach to data however is end-to-end encryption, which Ente has, but Immich doesn't. So I can see why Mozill

The mix package manger for Elixir has a release option which compiles and bundles everything to a single binary. It appears possible to use Gleam libraries/code with mix, which should allow one to compile it all down to a single binary

Definitely, while I have volsync backing it up, and the PV is replicated for local availability.... still annoying.

I've been self-hosting a lot of things on a home kubernetes cluster lately, though via gitops using flux (apparently this genre is now home-ops?). I was kind of expecting this article to be along those lines, using the fairly popular g

The patents page ( https://www.google.com/patents/opnpledge/patents/ ) does not include the macaroon patent. Maybe they forgot to update it?

That was what the authors claimed when I asked them about the macaroon patent. It'd be nice if Google had a legal document associated with patents they never plan to enforce, or the constraints around when they might enforce them (e.g.

I remember when I saw a presentation by the macaroon authors a few years back, there were pending patents that Google filed around them. While the authors claimed Google wouldn't sue anyone, I'm always a bit skeptical about such c

This is how I use the tool the author created, Structurizr. I auto-generate the initial diagrams, then manually fix it to make it more readable. We then check-in the JSON workspace export into our git repo. The first two levels of the C4 mo

Not sure, it depends on what the numbers look like going back to the founding of the company. Tesla probably wouldn't have survived in the past without the credits, but as others in the comments noted the point of the credits is to ena

Not sure a pig farmer has the best perspective on this. I've been on farms in my area, that have land that is not usable for farming, too many rocks, too hilly, etc. The land has enough natural rain-fall and grasses that grow on it to

My biggest two issues: 1) Stripe docs are inaccurate. They frequently don't work exactly as they describe for given subscription workflows. Sometimes an API call is entirely wrong, sometimes it doesn't return the data the docs ind

Yup, that hasn't changed in our experience. If you're looking at bursty traffic beyond what AWS will pre-warm for you, then this likely won't work. We have fairly consistent loads throughout the day.

Yes, if you terminate TLS its drastically cheaper. Without TLS, each NLB unit lets you have 100,000 concurrent connections. With TLS, a single unit is 3,000 connections. Similar pricing occurs with ALB's. Terminating TLS yourself incur

Same issue as NLB, they charge for units based on concurrent connections and it gets very expensive very quickly.
26.
by windlep 7y ago
We did not use an NLB because it is expensive in its pricing model for TLS connections (and we prefer to let AWS terminate TLS). For 20 million connections, an NLB would cost $28,800/month. It's drastically cheaper to use an ELB,

To be more specific, lots of idiomatic Go patterns typically involve using channels. Working at this level means you can't do that per 'client' since that would imply at least one goroutine per client. There's plenty of
