I've been running it in production for stateful workloads for over a year and it's been going swimmingly. I've never had better uptime or efficiency.

One of the issues with Openstack is managing the services required to run it. I imagine that helm could be used to make it easier to run these services in kubernetes.

My org is using namespaces for tenant isolation. Works quite well.

The winner-take-all phenomena of tech is described elsewhere in this topic at length. Patreon has no viable direct competitor for subscription based donations. You may not consider that to be a de facto monopoly, but that’s a semantic argu

How has it already happened? It's true that EKS and GKE nodes are virtual machines, but that's entirely beside the point of this article which seems to make the point that the workloads running inside of Kubernetes will also be v

This is concerning for the same reason that the government seems to be concerned that Facebook seems to have an anti-conservative bias. Patreon, like Facebook, has a de facto monopoly. The outstanding question is what is to be done about i

I think one of the bigger complaints as I understand it, is that Patreon is a de facto monopoly in this space and their rules for these circumstances are arbitrary and capricious. The outstanding question seems to be whether this merits a d

Any idea what software hashnode is running on? I like the features. I'm looking to setup a private community and I'm not totally stoked on the features of mastodon and diaspora and I'm not exactly looking for a forum. I supp

I've tried both and much prefer the reverse sear to a sous vide steak. Getting a good sear on a wet steak is pretty difficult. I will say that sous vide steaks make good camping food. I get vacuum sealed ones, cook 'em in the ba

I tend to do something around 75-80c for an hour on a 3-4cm thick steak. The slower one goes, the easier it is to make up for errors in probe placement, multiple steaks, etc.

I totally agree with your point. At some point, my threshold for irritation to run a Linux desktop dropped low enough that I was willing to make the jump. My threshold for irritation for Mac also went up. I was only willing to do so if I c

Python generally sucks less on Linux desktops, mainly because they don't ship with an old broken python.

by halbritt 8y ago
No argument that a desktop environment and a database server are different things. It'd be hard to judge which is a more complex task. Even still, read the story about how they built an OS abstraction layer on top of Windows and Linux

For Ubuntu on XPS 15 there are a couple of specific issues. Gnome has a weird UI bug that causes input to hang. This manifests in Wayland. The fix requires an entire re-architecture of GDB which isn't going to happen for gnome 4.x.

I'm not going to pretend there aren't issues, but subjectively it feels to me like there are few. The UI is decent and usable. For me the dealing with the few issues that arise is a better use of my time than wrestling with thing

Have you guys tried Linux on the desktop recently? There's a host of folks in my org running Ubuntu on Dell XPS laptops. Issues do arise, but they're pretty rare. I made the switch from Mac almost two years ago and it's bee

Is there anything that would preclude you from using the GCP provider in terraform? In my experience, most folks choose GCP for the Kubernetes offerings which is vastly superior in terms of scaling and maintenance than EKS. Specifically, t

This is why I tend to like GCP SSD persistent disk. For a 333GB disk I get ~10k IOPS consistently. It's $.17/GB vs. $.10/GB for EBS GP2, but still way cheaper than IO1.

If it were gbps then that's certainly weird. I consistently get way better network performance in GCP than in AWS.

by halbritt 8y ago
I don't understand the throughput numbers given. 5.6GB/s for GCP and 9.6GB/s for AWS would be 44gbps and 76gbps respectively. I don't don't know of any instances offering that kind of throughput. I've personal

Agreed and I'm from the "devops" side of the house. I don't see a lot of build pipelines with automated tests and deployment for IaC. Standardized processes like pull requests with code review are also not ubiquitous. W
