If you cut out the Kubernetes hype, you could simple use AWS' own container orchestration solution (ECS) whose control plane is free of charge to use.

It's even more interesting when you can infer why its broken. Let's take the NVMe controller in the MacBook Pro 2016 and later for example: That controller is not properly detected by Linux and needs a quirk [1] to be identified b

This page isn't unstyled. It includes CSS to apply various styles. You might not want to blame browser vendors, but "Microsoft Office 11" instead, which was used to generate the site.

That's not related to problems with USB-C, but to Apple messing up their hardware design. This was discussed recently here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22957573

If you want to figure out if you overprovisioned memory for your AWS Lambda functions: There is a pretty handy pre-defined query in CloudWatch Insights for that.

Unless you use custom API Gateway authorizers, want to interact with other AWS services or ... Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love AWS SAM, but I believe testing serverless applications locally is still an unsolved problem.

I built a PC in 2005 with an Nvidia graphics card and ran Debian on it exclusively. I had a lot of trouble with that graphics card over the years, but that wasn't caused by Debian, but rather by Nvidia, because they did neither offer n

I use a ThinkPad now and I can't complain about missing hardware support. Something which feels almost magical to me is that Lenovo supports Linux Vendor Firmware Service (LVDS) [1] which means you can issue a simple "fwupdmgr get

Correct. The problems started with the 2015 12" MacBook and the 2016 MacBook Pro. Everything older than that should be supported pretty well by Linux.
