I didn’t see the successor in the field much, RADIUS seems entrenched. If they are similar enough I may build both but this was the place to start.

The two are linked. Need to change the configuration of a fleet? That's going to be restarting every instance of the process. Update an extension model? Same. Load balance? You'll need one that understand RADIUS or clients will su

Maybe. I'm thinking about options but haven't decided on anything yet.

Past trauma motivated it. I was responsible for multiple RADIUS services used by millions of people every day. The existing software is slow to build with, difficult to scale and expensive. I couldn't let it go. Step one was building t

I’m not saying it isn’t bad. I clearly understand it’s bad. My point is that this kind of headline doesn’t help the cause. It’s hyperbolic nonsense to laypeople, though they may use the more colloquial term “bullshit”. Getting people to pay

I’m working on a ground-up implementation of RADIUS with everything running on stateless compute. It’s a beast with many problems to solve but I have EAP-TLS, TTLS and PEAP all working. I’d love to connect with folks interested in this kind

I find it really difficult to discuss the two with people because of the overloaded terminology.

Maybe, but that’s a far stride or two from the “doomsday” pitched at laypeople.

Agreed. This kind of provocative story gives many people the sense that science is unreliable, full of shifting narratives and unmet prophesies. That undermines the confidence we need in it as a society.

Not unrelated pages. All AWS pricing is and has been for a very long time posted on predictable pages alongside the service marketing and documentation. The console is the console. I, for one, don’t want to see pricing in the console or in

Not hugely, perhaps not even prevalent, but present, yes. I get to see how a lot of companies use AWS. The console does make its appearances, but less and less often these days.

At this point I’m not using the UX much if ever. Everything I’m doing is via IaC or the CLI. It’s made working with AWS really smooth.

In cost explore, on the right hand side where filters appear, click the “more” button at the bottom then the first option that appears (which is “charge type” or something like that) and select “usage”. That will give you a view of what you

For which services? Let’s look at Lambda for a second. Deploying a lambda function to AWS costs literally nothing. And yet, depending on how it’s used, it can cost an infinite amount of money. Which price should it show? There are far more

by mlhpdx 5mo ago
I’m not sure I understand. AWS has detailed pricing information for each service. I’ve never felt surprised by pricing. Cost has been surprising, but that happens when usage is surprising in my experience.

As I read through these comments I’m thinking about the dynamic range of AWS customers: from my little hobby account to my business account to some hyper-scaler’s account. I think about the diversity in usage patterns: from generating giant

I’m not sure how someone can be an “AWS Fanboy”, drink in all the promise, and think IAM is evil. As far as I can tell it is the one glorious thing that separates AWS from others. IAM is the core that makes it sane.

QUIC, but TCP experience and not UDP? Sorry, being a little pedantic but it's a real question.

I’ll have to take a look at this as a way to move off my homegrown serverless email on AWS. Doesn’t look like it has parity with being able to send email from many subsystems safely (with delay and veto)[1], but is pretty close on the recei

I dug up my original AWS account confirmation email from 2006 a while (years) back. Now I need to go find it again to see if I was earlier.

We have a moderately complex set of services we deploy with some separation of application code and infrastructure. No application code that runs on VMs is deployed as part of the infrastructure IaC - that’s all loaded once the “empty” infr
