- While I get their setup is amateurish, it's also a good reminder of how simple setups can be.
Saying this on HN, of course.
- > So their theory is incomplete as of yet. That's not good.
I hard disagree. Your comment to me reads as if a paper should either prove a new theory or disprove an existing theory.
However, publishing new results without a clear understanding of how it works is just as valid and this seems to be that. In Phsyics and Astronomy, new observations are often published without a theory of how it works. This is not a bad thing, that is part of the collaborative nature of science. The same holds true for papers suggesting a new theory, but lacking either observational or theoretical proof.
- I don’t fully understand the problem this is trying to solve. Or at least, if this solves your problem then it feels like you have bigger problems?
If you have staging/production deployments in CI/CD and have your Kubernetes clusters managed in code, then adding feature deployments is not any different from what you have done already. Paying for a third party app seems (to me) both a waste of money and a problem waiting to happen.
How we do it: For a given helm chart, we have three sets of value files; prod, staging and preview. An Argo application exists for each prod, staging and preview instance.
When a new branch is created, a pipeline runs that renders a new preview chart (with some variables based on branch/tag name), creates a new argo application and commits this to the kubernetes repo. Argo picks it up, deploys it to the appropriate cluster and that’s it. Ingress hostnames get picked up and DNS records get created.
When the branch gets deleted, a job runs to remove the argo application and done.
It’s the same for staging and production, I really wouldn’t want a different deployment pipeline for preview environments - that just increases complexity and the chances of things going wrong.
- For a breed that is partly bred to flush out game, throwing a ball is incredibly adrenaline inducing and will not tire them out - they’ll just keep going till they fall down. Working cockers are one of the breeds susceptible to exercise induced collapse, albeit rare it shows how insanely motivated they are.
To get them tired, you need to chill them out and have them use their brain and/or nose.
Maybe try some sniffing games, sit down during the walk and have them just take in the environment, do some obedience that makes them think, or throw their food in the grass and have them figure it out.
- Wow, that is more dystopian than I was able to imagine.
Let’s hope it doesn’t get to that.
- What about this law will prevent criminals from using encrypted chat applications?
I understand your point, but I fail to see how this law will change that.
- While I mostly agree with you, but knives exist and Europe has a huge knife problem. Carrying knives is becoming common under teenagers.
- How do you propose that should look?
The whole show is to motivate people to want to pick up a book, which to me sounds like an emphasis on doing.
If you’d replace this with posters or shows that just say “READ A BOOK”, it would not be as effective.
- I think you underestimate how debilitating some disorders can be and the assistance a dog can give.
If a person is unable to get a coffee without an assistance dog, and the dog is properly trained, why would you want to rob them of participating in a normal life?
Something being "just" for you, does not mean this holds for everyone.
- I really disagree with the owners statement that therapy dogs should never be able to get licensed. If they go through the same training as current disability dogs, then what’s the problem exactly? There are enough non-visible disabilities where dogs can be useful, for instance in panic disorders where they can recognise it before the owner.
In regards to dogs in coffee shops, etc. Aslong as there are enough spaces that allow dogs, it shouldn’t be a problem when most other places don’t allow them. I think there are enough people that enjoy dogs to make that work.
- Thanks, I didn’t know this!
- No, it’s already happening today. There is an arrest warrant out for Netanyahu. Netanyahu visited Hungary, a party of the Rome Statue, and was not arrested.
In a similar vein, Poland has said Netanyahu would have been welcome to visit the liberation of Auschwitz, without having to worry about out any arrest.
Depending on how Hungary’s actions are resolved, the ICC will lose much of it’s use if member states just ignore the treaty.
- That is definitely true. I can imagine the ICC would fall shortly after (since I think enough member states will not execute the arrest order and so it’s existence does not do much)
- It is however appropriate for a group of nations to agree that a person who has committed crimes (according to them) is to be arrested upon entering one of their nations.
It’s not really something you can or cannot concede to, unless you are of the opinion America is the only sovereign state in the world.
- How is it a threat to American sovereignty? It has no jurisdiction in America, only within nations that are party to the treaty - which is their sovereign right?
Is a foreign nation convicting an American tourist for crimes in said nation also a threat to American sovereignty?
- Thank you, these look great!
- Agreed! I see huge gains for small SRE teams aswell.
I’m in a team of two with hundreds of bare metal machines under management - if issues pop up it can be stressful to quickly narrow your search window to a culprit. I’ve been contemplating writing an MCP to help out with this, the future seems bright in this regard.
Plenty of times when issues have been present for a while before creating errors, aswell. LLM’s again can help with this.
- I can't fill out the survey because I do not have access, so my answers are below.
Cloud vs. Edge: Why choose a local NAS over iCloud, OneDrive, etc.? Cost, privacy, performance?
Primarily privacy and control over my data. Fun to tinker with.
Use Case: What tasks would your NAS handle? Jellyfin, Frigate, backups, AI/ML?
Just storage, I can run a separate server that has all workloads.
Performance: How key is CPU power, power efficiency, or upgradability (e.g., PCIe slots)? Your LAN speed (1, 2.5, 10, 25 Gbps)?
As power efficient as possible. >10Gbps network. I don't care about additional PCIe slots. Just a small form factor with maximum drives.
Storage: Preferred drive bay count (2, 6, 8+)? NVMe cache for reads/writes? Ideal capacity (10 TB, 50 TB+)?
I'd personally say 4-6 drive bay count. Definitely drive bays, not USB and preferably software raid (I don't like hardware raid controllers when software has gotten so good)
OS: TrueNAS, Unraid, OpenMediaVault, Linux, or no preference?
No preference, why not user choice? At least Unraid is proprietary, so that would be my last choice.
Design: Appearance matter? Displayed or hidden?
It will be in a closet for me, so just small.
Budget: Ideal price (excluding drives)?
300-400 but wouldn't mind going high if the price is justified.
Pain Points: What frustrates you about NAS or cloud solutions? Killer feature to switch?
There's no real alternative for Synology but I don't want the proprietary software. Especially now that they're restricting it to Synology drives.
- The gap in pricing between enterprise and open source makes it impossible.
If MinIO were to require a license to run, I’m sure I could convince a boss at work to pay several thousands a month for it.
Currently, we are paying about 5000€/month for the hardware to run our MinIO cluster and 0€/month for the MinIO devs. If we now want to keep using their UI, the license costs would be €20.000,-/month. That is an insane gap
- Hey, this is a pretty neat idea! I might just use this :)
- > occasionally digging into kernel bugs
Haha, been there! We recently had outages on kube-proxy due to a missing `—set-xmark` option in iptables-restore on Ubuntu 24.04.
On any stateful server we always try to be several major versions behind due to issues like above - that really avoids most kernel bugs and related issues.
- Not OP, but:
Barman on the host with a cronjob for physical backups and as archive/restore command for wal archiving and point in time recovery.
Another cronjob for logical backups.
They all ship to some external location (S3/SFTP) for storage.
I like the above since it adds minimal complexity, uses mainly native postgres commands and gives pretty good reliability (in our setup, we’d lose the last few minutes of data in the absolute worst case).
- Or that time in 2003 when a tree fell on a power line in Switzerland and all of Italy ended up without electricity.
- > Like these.[3] BYD has the Yangwang U8, a big off-road SUV comparable to the Rivian, and the Yangwang U9, a "hypercar".
I really did not expect to open this and have it be presented by Kryten! Fun surprise! :)
- I don't disagree, but like I said to the other responder: All this applies to America now and we don't know how much worse this will get.
> People bitching about the US and praising China are ridiculous.
It's not bitching about the US and praising China. It's "Which one of these do you think is the lesser evil?". Until very recently, most people would pick China. With the current momentum, more people are picking America. Maybe the situation stabilises in America, and people start seeing China as the bigger evil again. Maybe it keeps the current trajectory, then definitely America.
- > China is a communist country with real life re-education camps. They manipulate markets and steal intellectual property. They’ve been cozied up to authoritarian and oppressive regimes, like Russia, for a long time.
Yes, definitely agree.
> America is a free market who uses its military to keep shipping and global trade free from interference. We deport some illegal immigrants.
I think everything you said about China applies to America now, just for shorter period of time than for China. America's government officials say things that are indistinguishable from Kremlin propaganda. Directives and tariffs are put in place to directly manipulate markets in other countries. America is now deporting immigrants that were allowed to stay in America to prisons where human rights are violated. America's Secretary of Health is advocating for labor and re-education camps.
With China, I feel like we know how insidious they are and what they do. With America, we have no clue how far it will go.
So out of two evils, currently I expect China to be the lesser one. That really says something.
- Why? The article is about how nations are perceived.
Given the current climate, I’m not surprised that China is perceived as a more positive role than the US.
From my own perspective; They seem to be interested in maintaining stability in international trade, which keeps peace and allows people to keep their jobs.
- > You seem to think every business is a tech startup and is staffed with competent engineers.
If we’re talking about businesses hosting services on some intranet and concerned about TLS, then yes, I assume it’s either a tech company or they have at least one competent engineer to host these things. Why else would the question be relevant?
> “Out of touch” is apt and you should probably reflect on that at length.
That’s a very weird personal comment based on a few comments on a website that’s inside a tech savvy bubble. Most people here work in IT, so I talk as if most people here work in IT. If you’re a mechanic at a garage or a lawyer at a law firm, I wouldn’t tell you rolling your own CA is easy and just a few commands.
- For sure, nothing is without extra complexity. But, to me, it feels like additional complexity for whoever does DevOps (where I think it should be) and takes away complexity from all other users.
There are some small bugs that you can work around. The rework to the new version has been in progress for about two years but it works just fine right now.
