It's not so much decentralization as chaos engineering. Building the program with withstand failure after failure, of things in and out, of your control. Seems like Slack needs some chaos engineers...

It's okay for our use case. Honestly, we were just wanting to get a load balancer up and working with consul, and we had grpc services and internal http apps to balance. I'm not going to lie; it works and does failover correctly,

We tried Traefik, but ultimately went with Fabio, which also integrates with Consul nicely; plus it does tcp based stuff for unencrypted gRPC services we shuffle around (which at the time, traefik didn't have.)

Docker has reached the point that it is complicated. A lot of people never did cgroups just because it is lower, starting to touch kernel stuff. Few people want to go there. Docker is one of those things that you can install and run; it t

I like your example of pong; because it illustrates how a simple problem of 'AI winning' can spiral out of control into a nightmare of work. On the other hand. Pong is simple with 1 rule. Starcraft, or in this case Dota, have mult

I listen to the local police radio a bit, and if the caller is on a cell phone; they usually have the location of said phone. I might be misreading, but if they need a warrant to track, wouldn't they need a warrant to get a singular lo

So they have a larger operating single account than a lot of countries have for revenue. If they were a country, they'd be #140, with just one account. #133 for their total according to the report. I find it very hard to believe that

Transactions isn't the issue; you can push a lot per second. The problem is throughput, and wait time. Throughput, is the whole block size problem; and that whole can of worms. Most people don't want to wait an hour plus or minus,

Technically, you can build the Darwin kernel from source, since they have it out there, along with some of their other, basic apps. The rub for me was you needed to compile the kernel on a Mac to start with. This was all years ago, and a lo

With this, 1.1.1.1, and the whole DNS over HTTPS thing; I'm thinking Cloudflare has something more... nefarious going on underneath. I have no real reason to suspect it, but... a lot of what they are doing have large privacy concerns,

Not just ISPs; those using DNS-based adblockers (pi-hole and the like) will be impacted too (from my understanding.)

Cloudflare itself never made sense to me. What possible incentive do they have to stop their primary purpose (DDoS protection) - They have value in promoting the behavior. Whats worse, is everyone and their dog is using them. What happens

.com won't be gone. The character limit on DNS is 253; so you've got enough space to be imaginative. Further; if your startup name is already taken, then you probably should make a new name. Someone who just browses the site won&#

I had some fun with NameCheap and the xyz tlds. Turns out, CentralNic (who actually runs the zones) was not doing proper validation on the glue records, and not removing old ones. NameCheap was sending CentralNic cached records, and managed

Working with Mellanox cards for a few weeks; the MTU matters a lot. The difference between an iperf test measuring 14 Gbits/s on MTU 1500 vs. 40 Gbits/s on MTU 9000. We got a couple of Connect-X5 cards, which allow switchless conn

That's one legit use of a mixing or joining service. Not saying there isn't tracability though those services (especially since we aren't ideal) since the point of the distributed ledger is tracability. Something that was rat

That's why the standard advice on any cryptocurrency is to use a different address per transaction. It's just... people are lazy, and more technically (in the past anyway) change addresses became an issue.

If I'm not mistaken, the SR-71 and A12 had enough TEB for 15 restarts. After doing an aerial refueling, they had to use TEB to get back to afterburner.
