I rather think the GP was being sarcastic. At least, I hope they were.

Got 3m 32s on #519! #520 seems much harder tho! What a great game, just wish the colours were configurable (colour blind)!

Some chicken wire can solve this problem.

That was back in 2017, if I'm reading the chart correctly. A lot has changed since then, so I'd be genuinely curious to see what more recent figures looked like.

1. Around 30, a mix of both x64 and ARM. But planning on switching heavy workloads to physical machines at some point, which would take total node count down to around 16. 2. OpenTelemetry Collector installed on all nodes, sending data to a

They really are great, I just wish they'd make them available in the US regions too.

I've ran into the IP deny list problem too, but for Windows VMs - you spin them up, only to realise that you can't get Windows Updates, can't reach the Powershell gallery etc. And just deleting it and starting again is just g

I don't use Azure much anymore, but I used to see this problem regularly on Azure too, especially in the more "niche" regions like UK South.

Not the GP, but I also use Hetzner, but use Tailscale to connect securely across different Hetzner regions (and indeed other VPS providers). Hetzner does provide free Private Networks, but they only work within a single region - I'm no

Yes, but they are vastly more expensive than Hetzner (looks like pricing stats at just under $200/m for 6 cores).

I don't remember exactly when, but I'm sure I recall Kestrel being declared production ready a few years back.

I wasn't aware, thank you for explaining - I'll try to use the correct form from now on.

On drones: there is no evidence of that. The supposed "drone ship" that was siezed by France turned out to be crewed by Chinese and had no drones or weapons on board. A Croatian citizen were arrested regarding the drone near Frank

It's being pushed hard in the UK too. Some of what the tabloids spout is just totally unhinged. It's got to the point where the media/gov could claim Russians eat babies, and many would believe it.

This is satire... right?

It's quite possible that this whole digital ID thing is a red herring, to distract from recent revelations about Morgan McSweeney - who illegally took money from the Israel lobby, to fund a fake "antisemitism crisis" in Labou

Well, for one thing, the project would be gifted to one of the usual gravy-train companies, Fujitsu/TCS/Cognizant/Accenture. They will spend untold tens of billions on a half-baked bag of crap, beg for yet more money to fix i

Interesting! Does HyperDX handle logs as well as metrics and traces?

Having to deploy and manager Clickhouse put me off a little - OpenObserve uses it's own binary format, so there are zero external dependencies, making it super easy to setup. Maybe Clickhouse is nothing to worry about, but it's so

by GordonS 1y ago
I'm using OpenObserve - it does logs, metrics and traces all under one roof. Handles alerts too. It's been solid, but the UI is kind of clunky and a little buggy here and there. Dashboards are tricky to setup too. But it has no de

Huh, 200ns is less than I imagined; even if it is still almost 100x slower than regular RAM, it's still around 100x faster than NVMe storage.

Whole-home gesture recognition sounds really cool! Has anyone actually got this running?

Yet another tarrif level is often set on "semi-finished goods" too. It does seem like these tariffs haven't really been thought through though, so I wouldn't be surprised if "hacks" existed.

by GordonS 1y ago
One is "raw material", the other is "finished goods". This kind of distinction is pretty standard across the world.

UK and France's recent announcements cannot be taken at face value - they are purely performative (they are contingent on the Israeli genocide of Palestinians continuing !), seemingly desined to distance themselves just enough from

by GordonS 1y ago
Unfortunately that's not the case - Israel also has the full backing of the UK, France, Germany, and the EU apparatus.

The article could have been clearer, but it does mention the Hind Rajab Foundation is involved, an NGO dedicated to building war crimes cases against individuals for illegal actions in Gaza and the West Bank. An incredible number of such vi

Apartheid, genocide and war crimes are not "culture war" issues.

UNESCO is against the US-backed Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people, and is against the theft of Palestinian land. That's it - they simply don't support murdering children.

IIRC, some sliced bread used to come securely wrapped in some kind of waxed paper too (in the UK).
