I may be misremembering, but I am quietly confident that about 15 years ago I could instruct google to remember a list of sites that I wanted excluded from any of my search results. I definitely recall that up until about 10 years ago eba

There is a story, which may be apocryphal, that in the late 16th century Sir Walter Raleigh brought potatoes into the gardens and court of Queen Elizabeth. Once they'd grown and were harvested, the cooks having no familiarity with the

It kind of is, though. Grafting specimens of the same species is fairly easy - grafting onto a different species but staying in the same genus is a little less reliable but the basis of most grafted orchard trees. Grafting to a different ge

It's not my ideal situation, but pandemic relocation etc means I'm not next to my normal lab (two ESX servers + NAS). So, that said, yes, server (whitebox) plus desktop (xeon, 32gb) - both running Debian, with Consul, Nomad, Traef

For development purposes you very much can run Nomad and Consul on a single host. They recommend you don't, as you lose any HA, of course, but for those of us not seeking 5 nines of availability, that's quite acceptable. In my la

A book - probably not so much. The big value of sites (mostly github master repos) that offer recipes for saltstack/chef/ansible/puppet, or the helm collective, etc - are that they're continually being tweaked as new ver
