Right but you forgot PowerDNS which is rare to be able to support RDBMS as its native backend with third party web UI and there's also CoreDNS which is pluggable and graduated as a CNCF project.

You can't define the scope/reassignmentability with latter use.

I've used currying in the past but these articles don't really make you tick at all as they introduce the concept first, which doesn't mean anything until you realize you actually need it to solve a problem you may encounter

If BSD can run existing Docker ecosystem, then suddenly FreeBSD becomes a candidate for use. Though I don't find anything better than Linux, it's not lacking either.

by mekster 3y ago
The fact BSD can't run Docker with its vast ecosystem is already a show stopper. Also having little glitches by tiny differences in shell handling make your already tuned Linux dotfiles incompatible that adds to the annoyances. And the

Can you be more specific? What makes this so much better than others?

I think it even came from another distro called YellowDog Linux or something, hence the command name.

Never seriously used Linux desktop but before several versions of RH, packages were so much older than Ubuntu, it was pretty impractical to use CentOS but people who don't know a thing about servers always chose CentOS because when the

Not sure why you limit that to desktop. It's more important that server files can have an instant snapshot, compression and performant incremental backup to remote servers.

Is that even a comparison? Apple would vanish if TSMC vanishes and maybe half of Google too.

This is the company that every dictator wants to have which can literally control the world if it wanted. It has so many of the electronics under its hostage, no one can make a deal if it went out of control, except by violence. Yet, still

Before people explore stuff that may not matter, I just don't understand why people don't just graduate writing raw HTML and write something like Pug which is like saving 30% typing that doesn't break or change your workflow.

> Vim was the first text editor I've ever used (back in 2008) How could anyone skip any other more "normal" editors and jump right into Vim?

by mekster 3y ago
Hate going back and forth HTML and CSS just to give it a different margin that ends up making the CSS hundreds of lines long, making it hard to go through without searching in the editor. And you have no visual understanding in the HTML of

Bad business attitude. What if others start using quality zippers?

I treat zfs far more reliable than restic which is still rough around the edges the last time I tried a few years ago. Run rsync to the target and forget is quite easy, though I admit rsync.net's deal is getting worse these days posing

Then I'd like to know what they think of the benefit of spending $25/mo for just 100GB.

It's ok. I implemented a site a search entirely in JS (Ajax didn't exist) for some reason in 1990's.

If it's the latter, then reader quality is quite screwed up in here trying to make people endorse crazy pricing because he's some known guy around here.

Sounds like a very poor excuse when competitors are way cheaper.

Learning to use some backup tool that does same things sounds way better than paying 10 times more for the storage cost that lasts. There's also a service like rsync.net where you can just rsync to the destination and they do the versi

It's insane. Not sure how anyone can accept such a rip off pricing. Tarsnap : $0.25 / GB storage, $0.25 / GB bandwidth cost rsync.net : $0.015 / GB storage, no bandwidth cost s3 : $0.023 / GB storage, some complicat

As he's written a few books about it, unless he exaggerates, the books may look boring but the reality is, JS/TS isn't as bad as he wants to exaggerate. So, the better advice is, real world can't be perfect, live with it

Odroid H3 is pretty good. Bought one myself as my (yet to be fully operational) home router. It's small, quiet and has 2 ethernet for WAN and LAN and you can plug in an official USB Wifi dongle addon and it's good to go as a route
