This reminds me of vaping in Australia: since vaping liquids containing nicotine are illegal, people make their own liquid by mixing nicotine-free vaping liquids (which are legal) with nicotine extracted from products such as Nicorette (whi

I had 1.3 but can't remember the patch version (1.3.0 or 1.3.1 etc.), later this year I will travel to my home country and will find out (my A500 is in a box somewhere at my parent's place). Last time I turned it on, I remember th

It's good that there are more alternatives, this seems like it might be a lighter weight alternative compared to MinIO. Still, I wish Azure just added a built-in compatibility layer, like virtually every other cloud provider - I'm

Given that MinIO seems to be canonical way to add S3 API compatibility to Azure Blob Storage[1], this is not very encouraging. We have a lot of products that use S3 API and Azure was the only cloud that did not offer that out of the box - a

I get your point, just to play devil's advocate though: up until a few years ago, there was an often repeated argument that "the human eye can't see more than 30fps" (it was used to justify the fact that many console gam

On Mastodon you can choose among dozens of servers, you can decide to change server and still be able to use Mastodon. Now compare that with Youtube or Twitter. You can fix some aspects using browser extensions[1] or clients[2] but by and l

I grew up on a farm in Italy and for years I could not eat supermarket meat as I found it absolutely awful, so it might be a habit that forms over time. Note that this was not about beef because we didn't have cattle (beef is the only

Blu Ray quality is always better than streaming, by an order of magnitude. Blu Ray 4k has a bitrate of between 92 and 144Mb/s[1], Netflix bitrate at 4K is around 16Mb/s[2] - the resolution is the same but online streaming platform

One interesting fact is that the arid regions of Australia look much more red than most other deserts (which look more yellow, look e.g. at the Sahara or the Arabian Peninsula), this is due to the high concentration of iron oxide in the soi

I haven't tried it so take this with a grain of salt, but it seems that terminal-only apps are supported fairly well. I see from the docs that you can even use Brew from inside Darling.

I disagree, microservices are an architectural concept related to the software, not to the infrastructure. Whether you are using containers or VPS or serverless or bare metal for your infrastructure, that's completely unrelated to the

Microservices doesn't necessarily mean K8S running on self-managed compute instances as in the example given in the article. The main mistake of the article is that the premise is "microservices" but then the examples are abo
