Yup, they are not "appliances", they are worse than that. My toaster doesn't care or complain at what I toast, my oven doesn't want $99 pizza baking license nor it doesn't want me to pay extra just because I cooked

They don't. So stop paying them and using their devices. Too hard ? Well, they know that, which is why they know you will pay regardless.

I wonder if that could just be extrapolated from cost to make silicon wafer of required grade. Surely the amount of chemicals and power used would be similar per mm2 of silicon processed, regardless of whether it is big CPU or a bunch of sm

Well I don't know much about Linode customer service because it all worked fine for 14 years... only thing I got is "your node is going to be migrated in X days, or press this key to migrate it now" few times when they were u

You won't get many movers with 2x the price of L:inode for comparable instances...

Right but from big business customer perspective it is another cloud with way less available services than other clouds.

I never saw any clout attached to Akamai of all things, it's just "that other big CDN"

That's kinda the problem with some actual city planning, running it as business instead of service

>Simple fact is, pathfinding is a performance bottleneck that hasn't been solved yet. But we got thousand times faster CPUs than at Sim City 2000 times. And they have multiple cores. And if that is not enough there are GPUs with eve

I'd imagine that MEDIA SERVER that also STORES BACKUPS might just have a bunch of 3.5 inch hard drives in it ?

For us it's more 20%, to maybe 40% when something is planning heavy

We have similar setup (MySQL because version upgrades are less disruptive) and I can confirm it is basically bulletproof.

Pay someone. But if you really want. PowerDNS + MySQL replication for the "slaves" then put slaves in few different places with good bandwidth. Instant updates, very bulletproof.

No utility would want to build power plant that works 10% of the year tho, that's the problem

Not that many homes are built with basements nowadays. Water to water heat pump with pipes being directly under building's basement might've been pretty neat solution tbh, if you're digging for basement anyway might as well
352.
by adql 4y ago
Well, even if you assume 100% reliable supply of whatever kind of energy (gas, power etc.) your system needs, the heating device can still fail. Having some kind of backup in places where it can get really cold is always a good thing IMO

Don't they just start working essentially as effective resistive heater below some temperature ? So theoretically just oversizing it a bit should've been enough for the once in 10 years cold snap event. Woodstove with some supplie

> There, knowledge actually compounds and builds on itself, rather than being thrown out every two years for no gain. That's most of fields. Webshit development is very much exception here, although one with a lot of market share.

They could do DPI, allow traffic for unknown domains, intercept everything else. Differentiating random domain from "what user might actually type by accident" is also pretty trivial

by adql 4y ago
the middlebox could just pass traffic for the unknown TLDs tho and that detectin method would be in vain

To be fair, that's less than one a second. But I dislike the whole GOPROXY design, like it breaking private repos by default and having to set some env variables to make this stupid tool download stuff from server I told it to download

systemd unit with Restart=always RestartSec=30 is enough for 99% of the small apps If you can get away with VPS(es) and cloud hosted DB that will be by far the simplest solution to manage. Or "serverless" if service i

Bit weird comparison. Like sure CephFS doesn't support S3-like access... because the object store is a separate service that also runs on top of Ceph/RADOS store
