I've used Portainer, which works ok. It's web-based and is easy enough to run as a container itself. My preferred UI for managing containers is Lazydocker. It's a terminal UI, so I can run it on servers too. For the most part

If you control the DNS resolution in your company and use an internal certificate authority, technically you don't have to rent a domain name. You can control how it resolves and "hijack" whatever domain name you want. It won

The parent commenter said "pursue and punish", not "put in jail". There are other forms of punishment besides jail time. But really I'm more concerned that the scam organization is shut down, even if the main scamme

And sometimes it's worse to customize the out-of-the-box solution than just creating your own solution. For some AWS products, it's pure pain to get it up and running in the configuration you require. There are edge cases and bugs

That's because AWS is creating very few new "core" products. Everything seems to be a hosted version of software someone else created. Or perhaps a product to hop on the latest tech fad (Blockchain, LLMs, etc.)

What programming language do you use with CDK? A year ago I tried CDK using python and all commands ran incredibly slow. I'm curious if that was fixed, or if it's a problem with other languages too. Did you start with CloudFormati

That's very sad. I'm sorry for your loss. Your story and the rest of this thread is a good reminder that we should have appropriate safety equipment. It's generally inexpensive and it's critical in the case of an emergen

If you do, be sure you're on the side that is intentionally trying to find vulnerabilities, not the side trying to defend against them. The defense side sucks. You have to deal with security vendors that are eager to sell you snake oil

At a previous job I complained to company leadership that we shouldn't trust email addresses without verification. I think the company eventually required verification, not because their trusted employee told them, but because a securi

Looks cool. Thanks for linking it. It does mention that it's limited to 500MB per layer. For some people's use case that limitation might not be a big deal, but for others that's a dealbreaker.

Unfortunately no. I too would like each post to be categorized and tagged. And I'd like HN to allow filtering based on those tags. But that's probably not going to happen. If you want to be the kind of change you'd like to se

The fact that a language is used for large, successful businesses/projects doesn't mean another language wouldn't be better. It's just terribly difficult to measure such things.

Thanks for taking the time to respond to me. In startups like that, company culture and the founders' behavior is nearly one-in-the-same. That's sad you had to deal with that kind of stuff. Even in the bad jobs I've had, the

I remember a company I worked at that an internal website for suggesting ideas. The problem is that the management never looked at it. And because of that, employees stopped posting to it. And that was that.

That sounds funny, but being a perfectionist IS actually a problem. You'll often waste time and effort making something perfect when "good enough" is all that's required.
