My go-to solution for fault-tolerant message queues is nsq ( https://nsq.io/ ). nsq works differently from most other message queues in that it's supposed to be run in a distributed fashion, i.e. one nsqd running whereve

I've been watching Elixir/Phoenix/LiveView from the sidelines, reading just enough to salivate a little but still left with the feeling that my use-cases wouldn't be adequately covered by it. Which kind of SPAs wouldn&#x

Just wanted to say thanks for an awesome piece of software. It's one of those "I can't believe it's doing it and doing it this well, and it's free" kind of projects. For me, Grafana together with ElasticSearch

Same here, still using it for frontend (Ember and React) and backend work to this day and very happy and productive with it. Almost never have cases where I thought I needed more strictness or better community support. I am both more comfor

What do you mean by dead? It's still maintained and developed and still works great. Yeah, not many people are using it for new projects so if you're anxious about using something with the biggest "mindshare" then Coffe

For what it's worth, those German Mittelstand companies are the exact opposite of what's usually referred to as a unicorn. They are small to medium-size, multi-generational family-run and family-owned businesses that focus on a ve

It is 100% accidental. He registered a domain he observed being queried from his analysis system. He did not figure out what the purpose of this domain was before registering it. One of three options: - Act as a centralised C2. - Act as a k

Since you pointed out the screen options, this is one of the biggest thing stopping me from getting a non-MacBook: 4K is way too high-res and sucking too much battery and FHD is to coarse for a 13-14" screen. Apple hit a sweet spot wit

"Would almost certainly", yeah, in most cases. But, and this is something that didn't get talked about enough, what if registering the domain actually caused the malware to nuke the host system instead? Think of it as a kill-

Couple of options: You can build a small JavaScript package with a HTTP server to call your endpoint and puppeteer for actually running and interfacing with Chrome headless and then either Dockerize it or even run it as a Lambda / Goog

I understand you're probably not in a position to say anything about it, but I'd love to see the "little delay" when reconstructing a file qualified somewhat. Are we talking < 5s or < 10s? What do the percentiles f

Is that to their US datacenter or the European (Amsterdam) one? So far the European one has been pretty snappy for me, ping is ~20ms from my home ISP (Germany) and TTFB is good enough that I can instantly saturate my 300MBit home ISP line w

Can you go into detail what you mean by "slower than I'd like"? Are you talking about TTFB (Time-To-First-Byte) or sustained read or concurrent read performance? Are you using the API or the HTTP endpoints from a public bucke

Now that we're talking about B2, has or is anyone using them for latency-sensitive small-file object storage? I'm about to take the plunge and set up benchmarks, my use-case is that I want to store and serve ~ 500k small files (30

That is a question I've been asking myself a lot: What is the cause and what the effect? Do people really want a new expensive car every 3-5 years and are willing to part with a lot of their income to do it? Or do most people simply ne

For what it's worth, their engineering blog about how to build a large-scale search engine more or less from scratch was really interesting: https://0x65.dev/

That is my exact observation as well, whenever I go to use and examine a piece of narrow and self-contained piece of Open Source software I'm not surprised to find the good ones are often written in Go. Some things that come to mind ar

I really don't get Hex Rays and their licensing. I've seen it first-hand a lot of times: The kind of tinkerers and hackers that would use this in their spare time usually won't spend even a dollar on software, but the minute

This, and the fact that a lot of organisations use data-sources which are so exclusive and expensive that they dwarf Maltego, so nobody is concerned with the cost of a Maltego license. Other shops will have their own bespoke versions of a M

The way I've seen Maltego-like tools being used is in one of two modes: Documentation-mode and exploratory mode. Documentation mode is "just" recording relationships between assets so they are readily understood and visually

Thanks, hadn't seen that, that makes a lot more sense. I agree that ElasticSearch is definitely not "zero-config" when it comes to building certain bespoke applications on it that go beyond simple filtering or query-relevance

I know the project doesn't claim it, but the title somewhat implies this: I honestly don't understand people claiming ElasticSearch is hard to operate, especially not at small scales. If anything, ElasticSearch for me has been one

I'd be curious how you built the step from regex to ElasticSearch. My guess would be an n-gram (3-gram) index in ElasticSearch and then translating the regexes to that, but just curious if you built that custom or used something off-th

fwiw, the default refresh interval is 1 second. You should manually increase it if your application allows it. For bulk-indexing you can think about disabling it outright. Source: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/el

Thanks for the Youtube link to that talk, over the past year I've read so many interviews, blog-posts and watched talks about bootstrapping businesses, but this was the most concise, honest and no-nonsense summary I've seen yet. N
