Odin is just Step Function flow that deploys Auto Scaling groups. It's not that complicated, and not so different from your setup.. main difference is they deploy docker images to ec2 rather than run ansible and configure a running mac

Pretty sure you could still install Snap if you wanted to. It just won't come pre-installed?

If you actually did this you'd know that: A. Things break. Especially MVPs. You can't just park it and move to the next project. B. Nothing just grows on its own. It takes constant work to market and promote your app. It can be

We use cloud-provider managed encryption because we're not paranoid and don't have legal requirements to manage our own keys. We don't have SSH keys because it's not the 90's and we don't have servers.

Who was it that said (and I'm paraphrasing) - "Self-driving is easy, you could build an AI yourself that will work 90% of the time. It's writing an AI that works 100% of the time that's difficult". He built a car th

This list exaggerates many issues in an attempt to inflate the list. It's totally bloated, full of baseless personal opinions. A few examples: - "Nvidia open-source driver nouveau.." - why include it if not to bloat the list?

We had (have) discovery, auto-scaling and redundancy in PaaS. Most apps could run just fine in Cloud Foundry/App Engine/Beanstalk/Heroku. But the devs insist on MongoDB & Jenkins instead of using the cloud-provider soluti

Outdated. We were further ahead in the abstraction ladder with PaaS, and honestly most apps could run perfectly fine in Beanstalk/App Engine/Cloud Foundry/Heroku. But then the devs demand Jenkins, Artifactory and MongoDB, a

IaaS is not "the cloud". it was in 2008 when all we had was EC2 and RDS. Today Kubernetes is the antithesis of the cloud - Instead of consuming resources on demand you're launching VMs that need to run 24/7 and have sp

Over-militarized police. Put people in armor and combat gear and they immediately slip into the totalitarian oppressor mentality just as demonstrated in the Stanford prison experiment.

I have serverless functions that I've written a few years ago and forgot about. They are still working when needed, costing me nothing when not in use. How much does your server cost? Is it patched? secured? Does it have a name?

I made such a mistake - hosted a static page on AWS S3 with a redirect. Google didn't like that. AdWords account blocked, no one to talk to but the bots!

Welcome to the club. Don't get your hopes up getting the ban lifted. Had my startup AdWords account banned because we developed dApps using Solidity and Google didn't like Ethereum at the time. After countless email replies from

Don't you tell me I'm living in "the dark ages" mister, I'm fully serverless. It's you who's grasping for a world soon to be gone.

You're not building everything from scratch on-prem. There are excellent tools for deploying and managing infrastructure like Terraform, Ansible, Puppet that funny enough are used to deploy to cloud as well. Add a self-hosted Kuber

Every corp has one of these "fully-managed all-in-one just plug in your Java contractors" solutions. Aimed at executives, these stacks run trivial applications at an extreme price, leaving DevOps folks to roll their eyes and ask

Yes, Vulkan is awesome, but its biggest benefit apart for performance is DX11+ support. Wine had DX9/10 for ages now, and many Proton games don't depend on Vulkan to run.

Honorable mentions: WineTricks, and its successor - Lutris. If you can't get it to run on Proton (or not a Steam game), try those.

Hate to be that guy but nobody mentioned it - Lets not forget Proton is a wrapper for Wine, and we're here today thanks to many many years of community effort.

Companies have a culture, which evolves over time and is driven by humans and their morals/priorities, reflected in their actions and handed down through "generations". Yes, they can be evil.

I worked for a corp at a similar "golden cage" position, where switching would incur a pay-cut and working harder for longer hours. Eventually I changed company. I looked at the beurocrats around me and realised I'll end up
