I still just use VPS devices and some colocated hardware. I'm constantly told "I am not the typical customer, most do use K8s". Side projects and volunteer things I run include 470 websites serving about 320K registered users

I use a unique account with every distinct git org / github org that I interact with. Even if I'm in my work profile and I need to do something in an org called `acmecorp`, I will create @acmecorp-identifier to do that. This is ju

The safest way to browse the web in any browser is by disabling JavaScript or using a NoScript extension. A lot of the web works surprisingly well still, and you can turn on just what you need when you need it, placing your most visited sit

Upgrading isn't automatic. Let me check what I'm on... brb... Postgres 14. Because it's not automatic I leave it, I leave it until it's so unsupported that I must upgrade the whole system, then I build a new system with

You have, in some countries, the legal right "to request" work from home under laws typically aimed at flexible working. But that's it. A company can, for any reasonable reason, decline the request.

I'm not sure it's patentable given that smart TVs already do this, the prior art is obvious.

DoH helps us against governments, but doesn't help us against advertisers, i.e. what stops Google or an app maker talking to their own DNS endpoint via DoH and avoiding local measures to block malware and tracking. DoH is a double edge

I have a colour calibrated monitor, and landed at hue 181 which is almost dead centre. Fascinating... so I then tried on my mobile device and skewed to the left at 171. Retried the monitor, dead centre again. Retried the mobile device, back

Belkin, along with Anker, make pretty good things and I trust them... I don't know how to criticise a "charge whilst playing music" thing as it does both of the things it claims to do and I've not tried silly things like

Oh I bet the registrar didn't pay the annual fee and that .sm suspended the domain as a result. Context, this would be the third time I've heard of this, I was the second time I heard of this happening to .sm domains and it was vi

Things I have come to know about distributed systems: The S3 API (object storage) is the accepted storage API, but you do not need AWS (but they are very good at this). The Kafka API is the accepted stream/ buffer/ queue API, but

This is nearly always a myth. On call has a huge precedent, it's not tech, it's the health sector. "Paid" on call is already defined as the active portion where you're responding to a page, not the passive portion w
