These days I've been using the free tier of OCI (Oracle's cloud thingy) [1] for my personnal CI/CD and some random services that don't have any disponibility requirements. They give out 4vCPUs (ARM) / 24GB machines.

The bias and narrative is definitely pro-Ukrainian, but the facts are well documented. There's a massive OSINT effort around this war. There's a Dutch group called Oryx specifically tracking material deployment and destruction [

I've been using a safety razor (a Merkur Futur, for the curious ones) for years. Add in a decent brush and the upfront cost is about 100€. As far as consumables go, I pay about 10€/year in blades (I buy 100 Voskhod blades at a tim

I agree, and I'd say good computer guys also make good mechanics. The core skills are the same. There's a guy called M539 on YT who's the best mechanic I know and just started out doing it as a hobby aside his IT job.

Pulumi is more dev-friendly and adapts to existing skillsets / environments. This being said I much prefer Terraform. It's by nature far more consistent and more portable. Pulumi makes sense for individual devs having to do infras

While that sort of « hobbie tribalism » is definitely a North American trope, I think the main point (it's more likely for people to have incentives aligned in a way that you don't understand than it is for them to be stupid) st

Since the topic has come up again, I'd like to take the opportunity to thank the people on HN who have commented at length about ADHD in the past. Without it I might not have realized that the thing that's made my life laborious,

I've used Spotify since the invitation phase, in 2008 or so, and never have I used it for discovery. Not to say that there isn't value in it, but there's more than one way to swing a sword.
