Out of curiosity, why are you looking for "articles" as opposed to more generally "resources"? The reason I say this is that articles are usually 800-3,000 words, with a median around 1,200 words. I'd ask if you can

I have a highly optimized LinkedIn, yet I don't really spend a ton of time on there. I log in once or twice a month, answer messages, and do a few things. Maybe make a post once every 2 months or so. Nothing crazy, yet my profile is ve

I'm not sure they just launched anything. OpsGenie has been an Atlassian product for 5 or more years now. I've been using it for 3-4 myself and its been integrated with Jira the whole time. In fact, OpsGenie has mostly been on Aut

I mostly agreed with OP's article, but you basically nailed all of the points of disagreement I did have. Jira: Its overhyped and overpriced. Most HATE jira. I guess I don't care enough. I've never met a ticket system that I

I've been running ECS for about 5 years now. It has come a long way from a "lightweight" orchestration tool into something thats actually pretty impressive. The recent new changes to the GUI are also helpful for people that d

Discount rates are actually much better too on the bigger instances. Therefore the "sticker price" that people compare on the public site is no where close to a fair comparison. We technically aren't supposed to talk about pr

I run paperless on an Unraid server at home and it works really well. It has "machine learning" (based on a model that you host yourself that grows as you use it). It has good search, impressive OCR, and generally works really wel

A company with 450 employees doesn’t need 2 CEOs. Happy to see that they plan to maintain their sponsorship for Tour de France avec Femmes. Sad to hear about the discontinuation of the new hub trainer hardware. The Zwift cog was pretty awes

I don't think this is positioned to replace Wordpress, Astro, Hugo, etc by any means. It is just a barebones framework written as a love letter to the language of C. If its a loveletter to a language than telling you the language is im

Well by definition 'complete' means to "the greatest extent or degree". So a complete SWE would need systems knowledge. But is anyone really a complete SWE? Even people that are experts in systems probably aren't co

C syntax is limited and therefore "simple". Building advanced data structures and programs with your limited toolset does require some out-of-the-box thinking. This is partially why C is a common teaching language. Because you hav

I'm not sure that abstraction is even in the OS. I think its on the memory controller itself. The OS reads from the memory controller.

Network chuck covers the basics. The only thing I would warn is that he only covers the extreme basics. Like the top 1% of networking. But he makes it sound like when you are done with his videos that you are ready to go make $250k as a net

I was going to say the same thing. This is why I like Fantasy and Science Fiction genres. They both stretch your mind with new ideas by combining what is known and possible today with what could be possible or might just be fun conceptually

Honestly this might lead to another 737 Max grounding, which will shoot up the cost of airfare. At this point, the 737 Max seems cursed.

Was anyone else shocked to be reminded that a few of these top stories happened in 2023 and not years earlier? I thought the Silicon Valley Bank failure was 2022. It feels like so long ago. Crazy how long 2023 felt like (at least for me). A

I both agree and disagree with you. In theory, I agree. Tend your garden, do small upgrades often instead of major upgrades less often. In a homelab this is easy to implement. In a small organization it is too. But in the facetious "re
