It isn't "clear" to oil executives and the coal industry that they're killing the planet. It's easy to revile oilsands, but how else are people going to live? "Why can't we just be more civil and talk abo

I don't think anyone is conflicted by this? Like you say: kill them and don't replace them. They're going to be slaughtered anyways. This year we slaughter 39 million, next year 25 million, the year after that 10 million, ...

Part of what I'm doing is working on a CRUD backend. The thing has a bunch of complex business and authorization rules. Not to mention a bunch of per-client customization. There's also some neat handling around versioning and copy

Or take the middle road and just get rent the hardware (aka, dedicated hosting). You pay more than colo but still way less than cloud, get the same level of hardware support as a cloud provider but the same performance as colo.

There's also the OTP model, where you have exceptions as well as a robust "something" up there. You don't have to deal with the minutiae, and the pattern (processes (aka, isolated processes) and restarts) lets you deal w

FWIW, I've had a lot of success with barman (1). If you set it up using the newer streaming protocol, which doesn't require a separate ssh channel, then it's relatively straightforward to setup. https://www.pgbarma

The Postgrex driver works with cockroach as-is, and they're open to making tweaks as necessary (I made a small patch to Postgrex to support the way cockroachdb encoded empty arrays and it was quickly accepted). I don't think Ecto

All of our internal communication already is secured via wireguard and communication can only flow through the wireguard interface. Does adding cockroach's own encryption on top of this add anything?

No, our setup is basic. We use barman, so I guess repmgr by the same company (2ndQuadrant) would have been the route to go. I could have figured it out, set it up, and been done with it. But, without having done it before, I didn't fee

Sorry if I wasn't clear, but the goal of the migration wasn't for scale, it was for HA. I find it difficult to setup PostgreSQL without having a single point of failure and introducing downtime for things such as upgrades. We aren

I don't think this is accurate. Aside from the minister, they're all civil servants. For example, the current Deputy Minister of Finance was appointment by a different leader (from a different party) over 5 years ago.

Shared Services was setup to handle the (relatively speaking) easier part of the "digital issue": infrastructure. And, by public accounts, it's been a disaster.

The linked article doesn't say anything about web services. Just C++. I believe Rob Pike was working on GFS and log management, and Go was always initially pitched at system programming (which is not web services). > Our target comm

Linode's origin is as a VPS provider. OVH's is as a dedicated server provider. OVH's top server is twice the cost of Linode's and their cheapest is 5x the price (10 vs ~50).

It wasn't just Linode (a provider that's generally much cheaper than OVH), but high end providers like Softlayer too (and, as far as I know, still are)

"Their own data center" implies (to me at least) that they built their own data center. That doesn't sound right, so I looked it up, and it seems like they're colocating. That might be what you meant, but the data center

I've never had to deal with this, but there are tens of thousands of managed providers out there, so I figured some of them must have this type of compliance. The first two that I looked at, Hivelocity and ReliableSite both seem to hav

A number of managed providers have multiple DCs within a region as well as DCs in multiple geographic locations. Also, many have been in operation since before AWS was a thing, and some are larger. So I can't imagine what AWS knows abo

Amazon has done a fantastic job of making people think the choice is between them or managing your own infrastructure. Your concerns make no sense in the context that your parent presented: a managed DC. And, frankly, your parent was being
