I did by accident, and missed the edge bridge :D more things worked than didn't to be honest

starting? :) - definitely are. It is also a chicken and an egg problem - until people start shouting they won't implement v6, and people won't want it until there is a reason too (like not getting v4 addresses - which cloud provid

by mugsie 4y ago
Yeah, definitely. I made a mistake a while back, and swapped one of my testing networks to v6 only, and I was surprised I only noticed things were broken after a few days (looking at you github). I think it has a lot to do with people being

out of interest - why? They seem to be targeted at different use cases - ngrok for dev work (looking at pricing and the limits on the free tier), and argo tunnels for permanent services

I mean, that wouldn't be hardest thing in the world to do, afaik, XBox OS is a windows kernel ...

Memory and PCIE lanes in larger systems can be attached to particular CPUs, or to sub sections of a single CPU (i.e. AMD Threadrippers / Eypcs in particular) where traversing the the inter CPU / CCX links can cause latency or band

Virgin Media allows you to use "modem mode" on their service, which is great, because it also turns off the CGNat crap, and gives you a real IPv4 address via DHCP on your own equipment

this is a bit more, but if people are looking for a more capable (e.g. 10Gig, more ports, and more CPU) I really like the ten64 I got. https://www.crowdsupply.com/traverse-technologies/ten64 I am currently getting Vyos

more powerful in most cases - yes. distributed - no. learning about doing HA/Scale out via distributed systems is a really valuable skill, and projects like these make it sooo much more real, beyond even just basic networking.

Is there any details on the BMC / switch? If the BMC is something good (thats supports standards like redfish / etc) and the managed switch is exposed using something standard, I think this could make a really interesting dev boar

mutt and thunderbird are the only 2 clients I have ever found that can make mailing lists usable - gmail threaded view sucks for conversations that have branches, and encourage terrible quoting / top posting practices.

by mugsie 5y ago
But - if we had SRV records for http(s), things like geo load balancing would be super simple, no need for anycast / weird CNAME chains. The client would get a list of hosts, with attached priorities, and weights.

git filter-branch would fit this use case?

by mugsie 5y ago
Yeah - looking at the mailing list discussions, it seems people find bridged channels not as "nice"? [1], but in the long run, I think a move to matrix would stave off the "move to slack so I get a GUI / bouncer / e

by mugsie 5y ago
I really don't see all of OpenDev moving to Matrix - I saw Zuul was considering it, which is unfortunate[1] :/ - now the various projects are going to be fragmented. 1 - I trust there was good reasons, the Zuul folks are great, bu

by mugsie 6y ago
yeah - at least with something like git-review [1] when you do git review on a branch with multiple commits, it creates a chain of commits in gerrit with one command. 1 - https://docs.opendev.org/opendev/git-review&#x2F

by mugsie 6y ago
yes - the same for github, but when you go to merge it, it messes up.
50.
by mugsie 6y ago
it groups the branch into a chain of commits, and has dependancies between them, so you can approve a commit on top of the chain, but it will not merge until the ones it is based off merge.
51.
by mugsie 6y ago
yeah - that is a pain in the beginning. Personally (this is completely anecdotal, and not backed by any serious data), I have found it drives people to do multiple small commits, as they rebase a lot easier. using something like git review
52.
by mugsie 6y ago
For me the happy medium is something like gerrit. It works on the one change, one patch, one commit strategy, which helps with the ability to rebase for fast moving code, makes it easier to view CI results for a patch, and is slightly more

What stops your employees doing the same thing?

by mugsie 6y ago
yeah, but not my banking app, or apps like UniFi's Network manager that waits for the fingerprint read intent before trying the secure store. It is a lot more than just "password manager == sorted"

Nightsight on its own is freaking magic, and makes the camera worth it for me. Taking pictures in doors, or in a bar (not that I can do that anymore :) ) was easy on a pixel, and always came out looking good.

were they that bad? I was looking at them, but the price was just too high for me.

Face unlock is ... inconsitant, and support in apps is sparse. I have a 4XL (personal) and 2XL (work), and I never run into issues with the 2XL, it reads the fingerprint as I take out of my pocket, and it is open as I look at it. 4XL - take

DBrand summed it up best in their marketing email for the Pixel 4 skins just after the launch: > That's right: it's another marketing email from the robots at dbrand. That means it's time for another email footer. Here are

Some of that is easily done with Helm and kubeadm, but not all of it, and definitely doesn't scale as you grow the number and size of the clusters running.
