Update: no terraform support (sales rep didn’t even know what that was) but claimed API support - which would sadly mean rolling our own provider. Not ideal. They tried to suggest their in house Click-Ops layer (they compared it to Cloudfor

I worked at a startup that was a supplier to Oracle for a while and had to work directly with their OCI API team. While I loathed the hubris of the “I work for Oracle” employees - the one thing they were absolutely militant about was legacy

Indeed. But that doesn't solve the issue that OVH's reputation for their Canadian DCs isn't great from the (again limited) information I have. If we had heard consistently positive things, we'd be there (or strongly cons

Will do! I hadn't heard of FullHost, and I agree, something seems off with their offerings. The site is so noisy. This really stood out to me in their "DevOps Paas" database section: "An Innovative Approach to Clustered

Canuck here. We're considering getting off AWS and our exposure is mostly limited to EC2/RDS/S3. OVH has a bad rep in Canada from my limited experience, but it's always hard to tell what services folks were using and how

My experience as well. Working in Scala primarily, it tends to be very good at following the constructs of the project. Using a specific Monad-transformer regularly? It'll use that pattern, and often very well, handling all the wrappin

"low quality users"? I think you mean folks trying to assess if it's a low quality product. I just couldn't finish this thing. Disdain mixed in with some wild understanding of the world. The fact that we so often care ab

I've tried Nix on a couple of occasions, most recently about two months ago, and ended up coming to the conclusion that it's just not for me. I can see the value in a completely declarative configuration for my OS. But the hurdles

From what I've seen they've targeted the low end in price, but solid mid-range in performance. It's hard to know if that's a strategy to get started (likely) with price increases down the road or they're really that

Update: It's picky about the Wayland compositor and I didn't notice that. Couldn't get it to work under Kwin (didn't try very hard but life's a bit too short for that).

Giving this a whirl as it's both MacOS and Linux compat. Thanks.

I hear you. We built a product specifically for student-centric work where educators could assess student progress (think Hattie's Visible Learning and similar lines of thinking) and compare student growth against their own previous wo

Same, but, until recently, I've been using Microsoft's Co-Pilot because for the longest time it did exactly what this new "search" feature added to ChatGPT: it produced a list of source material and links to reference th

In with an annoying "acutally".. I wish I wasn't but I just filed some feedback with Apple today (really this morning) on how the "profiles" on Apple TV are a misnomer. They're not real. Here's our experie

Chiming in as someone who switched, completely, to Bitwarden w/ Vaultwarden backend for a year: the experience was dramatically sub-par when compared to 1password (which I was coming from). Part of my framing for the assessment was &qu

Lots of aircraft pilots love the iPad mini. Ideal sized tool for having strapped to a yoke, or to one's knee.

This is just like Oracle claiming OpenOffice is the better project and the LibreOffice fork is a shady knock-off.

Nightmare seems like a bit of hyperbole. Look, it's not without its quirks, but it's pretty reliable. Speed and responsiveness can be further upped by using an in-memory cache like Redis/Valkey. Nextcloud can try to be ever

After being fed up with AgileBits' (1P's owner) shenanigans (hiding critical threads on their user forum, ignoring customer voices wilfully, being generally dismissive of criticism), I decided to give Bitwarden a try. I used it in

Absolutely. I run Ghost on a *.small instance in AWS. The one caveat with Ghost is that it only works with Mailgun for drop-in support of sending newsletters: https://ghost.org/docs/faq/mailgun-newsletters/ I

The reactions: weird for sure. On-by-default is intrusive. That said, they're so easy to disable. But the silly reactions aren't the feature though, just the sugar. Having a system-wide virtual video output and camera control is&#

Long, long, long-time 1P user (2007?) increasingly fed up with their anti-consumer practices (dishonestly hiding discussions on their community forum about App Store versions and dismissive “responses” were the final straw). So I put vaultw

I loathe Adobe, and yet we still pay for their products. I hated when they moved to subscription and stuck with CS5.5 for ages. However as the team grew and we needed seats for our talent, Creative Cloud was a small added cost worth paying.

Not really but they’re loosely related. Apple did discontinue Shake and released Motion. Some of the technologies that were part of Shake (optical flow retiming for one) were included in Motion and Final Cut Pro X but very little of what ma

I haven't paid too much attention today, but what I did see with the iPad Pro was that they're using an OLED display (maybe even some kind of double layer OLED for increased brightness if I'm understanding the marketing jargo

According to a recent Stumpy Nubs video, Saw Stop isn't the villain they've been made out to be (or at least has changed their tune substantially). TLDR; They've offered not to defend their patent (or whatever the patent mumb

I believe the only feature is “boot environments” at the moment. In fact they've diverged so little that, according to various sources online, one should be able to take a working 23.05.1 config (read: pfSense plus) and install it on 2
