You are misunderstanding how HA works with DNS TTLs. Now there are multiple kinds of HA, so we'll go over a bunch of them here. Case 1: You have one host (host A) on the internet and it dies, and you have another server somewhere (host

If football on TV is fascism then every photograph, movie, window, thing created by someone else is also fascism. IMO his "you always see through the perspective of the TV producer" is also bullshit. Maybe he hangs out with too ma

Lot of data is "fake." I remember my political economy prof talking about when he was in the Prime Minister's office of some African country and they were "estimating" the GDP numbers for the OECD. Collecting statis

I think the great thing about China's censorship bureau is that somewhere they actually track all the falsehoods and omissions, just like the USSR did. Because they need to keep track of what "the truth" is so they can censor

Uh, they scaled PostgreSQL by offloading a lot of it to Azure CosmosDB. I'm not sure that's the answer people are looking for.

Linux is free, but you pay for it with your time. And calling Windows and MacOS a tax is a complete misunderstanding of what a tax actually is.

You are wrong because you are being overly pedantic. NAT provides security because normally it disallows external actors on the outside from accessing resources on the inside side. A firewall is not required for NAT to work, although many f

The point is that WAF didn't block everything, and that if your app had some kind of default/error handler that non-blockage would have unexpectedly exposed something. Not that big of a deal, but interesting.

De-dollarization is one of those things economists love to talk about. The chance of the dollar losing its reserve currency status is slim-to-none. No matter how bizarre the US is, nobody trusts the Chinese Communist Party (CPP). And althou

Because it's a zero-maintenance solution that performs well out the box, has excellent analysis tools that are free, and works with no issues. Postgres is work. Mysql is not. I say this having used mysql, postgres, oracle, sybase, mssq

Note that they were running psql on ec2 instances, which implies bare metal with SSDs. Yes you can get actual hosts in AWS if you pay for them. The article also implies that they were never able to get psql to replicate effectively. Whomeve

The amount of ingredient in the pill is huge relative to the shot, and you need to take it daily...which shows how hard it is to get drugs into the body. Real question: given the dosage, how would you go about getting the pill and liquefyin

The reason you didn't just drop stuff in /usr/local? Space. One of our devs was also a gimp contributor, and he dropped gimp into /usr/local and filled up the filesystem. And back then package managers didn't e

Again, the cost is in storage, not generation. But it looks like LiFePO4 batteries are the way forward these days.

Nobody seems to have asked the US Navy about the crash. The Indian Ocean is a well-known hangout for boomers, and the USN listening posts should have heard the crash.

It's actually not bullshit. Saving time is worth it. People use that metric when sitting in traffic...why not use it for computer response time? How many decades have been wasted in Windows waiting for updates?

Awesome! Good engineering: when you're not too proud to do the obvious, but sort of cheesy-sounding solution.

During the day when nobody's home the panels are charging the battery. Obviously more panels are better. The goal is to be able to run a small window AC unit and various small appliances at night. That's a tremendous quality-of-li

I'll check that out. The goal is to get to something that runs all night (or almost all night) with around 1kwh output using as little space as possible. I've just started poking around, but this'll help. In the third world t

I have two solar panels that can generate around 960w/hr. Both panels cost around $400 ($200x2). Cheap. Storing that energy is quite expensive. an Anker Solix 3800, which is around 3.8kwh, costs $2400 USD. To store 10kwh would cost $72

I'd be surprised if there's any noticeable difference between 265 and AV1 when coming from the 265 encoding. 265 has already thrown a lot of stuff away, so there's not much for AV1 to work with. Maybe if you're going to
