If they can do it close to zero carbohydrates per serving, I'm in. If they can't, it's just another over-processed frankenfood greasing the slicks to a diabetic future.

Likely enough, and depressing to think of all the effort that could go into Debian instead getting spent gluing Ubuntu back together again.

This will be great news for Debian. Thank you, Canonical.

This is great news for on-prem object storage. I look forward to seeing how big Samsung is able to go with Manta.

We lost USENET to Reddit and Stack Overflow, and it feels like we're about to lose IRC to Slack. The Internet dies a little every time someone starts a new Slack channel. I'm glad for the SPOF reminder. Can you imagine how many co

You make a good point that "doing devops" is a methodology that you can choose to use or not. There is no moral hazard in not using it. That said, having ops excluded from the architecture decisions that go into building container

Docker's messaging is specifically anti-devops. They market containers as a "separation of concerns" between dev and ops, where dev is responsible for everything that's in the container, and ops is responsible for deploy

Storing container images is a great use case for an object store, not a block store. They should get sucked down whole to ephemeral storage on the compute nodes. Mounting containers to a distributed block system is an anti-pattern. This is

If Blondie or the Talking Heads broke up after the first year we would have never heard of them. Byrne has done OK, but couldn't have bankrolled his label without his 80s Heads income.

Dee Dee pursued a solo career and failed. He had to keep writing Ramones songs, only without collecting any of the touring revenue. IIRC, he was often somewhat in "debt" to the band, as they'd bail him out of jail with the re

I've told a variation of this story to a ton of people, to specifically address the confinement of success. They had the choice of sticking with the same colleagues they'd worked with (and increasingly hated) for 20 years, or bein

I'm making no defense of Canonical. I'm not an Ubuntu user. Redhat has been doing the right thing for years, with paid employees in prominent positions throughout the ecosystem, including the kernel, as you note. The problem is th

They're the same class of jerks, but they don't have the leverage to strong-arm everyone the way that Redhat is doing it.

It's important to remember that it's not "those systemd guys" who are breaking everything. It's their backer, Redhat. Redhat is leveraging its strong position in the free software ecosystem to bend all Linux distrib

Turn on US network television one night, and watch a three-camera sitcom. Note the production value of the show against the production value of the ads. You can see that the commercials, per second, cost orders of magnitude more to make. &q

I would suggest that instead of trying to maintain shared state (which IP addresses are blessed) across all of your nodes, you look into using ipsec. Those internal interfaces aren't for security, they're to segment cheap/fas

Versioning makes all the difference in the world when you're trying to do microservices. This is what makes microservices hard, and this is the unforeseen friction that kicks people in the ass.

Taking Modafinil for funzies is a bad idea, but this doesn't rise to the level of "nightmare." Unless you have nightmares about developing a rash and getting a poor night's sleep.
