Random question: does anyone use recent mainline kernels with Ubuntu 20.04? How? How's the experience? I'm currently on Ubuntu HWE line, but that only goes to 5.11.0. Ubuntu kernel devs have debs for [mainline][1], but I'm no

It's the first vegan burger patty I wouldn't notice it's not meat if not told. I quite liked it. Not completely sold into that extremely processed food idea, but occasionally it's a nice change for regular vegetarian opt

One of my favourite tech overkills I've seen in my career is Cassandra database to store couple million records. Yup. Needless to say, it was later converted to PostgreSQL. The guy who did it is still advertising the fact on his online

Anecdotal random story bits from my current company on why you should stick to Rails: - All of our "lightweight Sinatra(and similar) API" services eventually start to look more and more like Rails apps. Rails does many small devel

"The other person who replied" here. While it definitely costs a lot less - you also need to factor in the time you spend on selecting components, building and tweaking thermals. It's almost a small side hobby for a month or

Well.. It does have [TDP][1] of 280 watts. So if you ran it at full capacity all the time - it'd be roughly equivalent to 300 watts heater. But at that time you'd probably be more worried about the fan noise (which really depends

And if a service is not yet available as a managed service from at least couple providers - it's quite likely it's not mature enough for 99% of businesses to use. You're not Google, Facebook, etc.

I sort of liked LinkedIn until they (like Facebook, twitter and others) made "liking" or commenting equivalent to sharing. There's no distinction nowadays. And, as a result, my feed is now mostly recruiter memes. I also stopp

I like SAML because it does not involve http requests to fetch user profile (unless I'm missing something and OIDC allows that too). The whole user profile comes with the signed or encrypted payload. As a result you can have identity p

Funnily enough myself and friends find LSD a great party drug when in low doses. 1/8th of a tab - you stay up longer, feel more energetic, slight barely noticeable buzz. 1/4th - fairly noticeable buzz, slight vividness of vision,

One reason it's not very popular (from my experience): Docker Desktop for macs, which makes Docker experience on mac os feel somewhat close to native. Meanwhile, to use LXC you'd have to work inside VM (Virtualbox or similar). Las
