The pain of Ansible+Jinja2 is what eventually pushed me to write judo[1]... It works surprisingly well for what it was built for, but of course has limitations (e.g. there's no direct support for a templating language; you just plug en

And I want 192.168.1.1 as the IP of my workstation on corporate LAN. Both requirements are completely arbitrary. I guess if you really need that information, you could wait4 and dump pid/rusage to syslog. Nothing more to see here; thes

Don't restart it. Let it crash, but take note of the situation, whatever may help investigation, maybe send out a page, flush pending writes to disk, reboot gracefully, etc. Kernel panic should be the last resort, not the default.

That's more like "I had to trick the OS into thinking that spacebar was held for my application to run at all".

I've ranted about this before, but setting up or migrating semi-selfhosted personal services like that is a lot of hassle, even if you're used to cosplaying as a sysadmin. Migrating DNS providers is a pain - recently done it twice

Tailscale is heavily focused on authorization (authz; what you can do), and considers strict identity verification (authn) crucial to that goal. So they chose to delegate the latter problem to a party that's already solved it better

I'm starting to think Zig's strategy to memory management is generally friendlier to a developer. If a function needs to allocate memory, it must take an allocator as a parameter. If it needs scratch space to perform computation,

YMMV, no warranty, IMHO, etc. Disclaimer: I haven't used k8s in a long while, mostly because I don't really have a good use case for it. You'd need to slightly rethink rollbacks, express them in terms of always rolling forwar

The only issue I'm having with systemd is that it's taking over the role of PID 1, with a binary produced from an uncountable SLOC, then doing even more song and dance to exec itself in-place on upgrades. Here's a PID 1 progr

Your body will disagree with the watch at some point. Imagine being stuck sick at home or in the hospital for an extended period of time - you will lose track of which weekday it is.

The definition is pretty arbitrary. It's more interesting, what can we learn by studying that object. Even the trivia, like tidal locking, it was one of my 10000 moments ( https://xkcd.com/1053/ ).

Sometimes failure comes from inherent risks. Sometimes we don't know what we don't know. You can't account for every possible factor, you'll be stuck in analysis paralysis while the world moves on. If we're speaking

In 2012 I've spent almost the entire year hitchhiking around Europe. Mostly alone, sometimes in a small ad-hoc group that would part whenever we had to take different turns. Sometimes there is someone else to blame: a driver who drop

That's my point. You can use a knife to slice bread or to stab your neighbor. We're seeing an unprecedented amount of stabbings. People are getting away with murder, there's no accountability. Refining the stilettos doesn&#x2

Intel giveth, Microsoft taketh. This is even more sad with Apple. My M1 Mac felt incredibly snappy with Big Sur, but is getting ever so slightly slower with each update. My iPhone SE2 is a complete disaster.

SQLite has a write-ahead log (WAL). You can use Litestream on top of that. You get single RW, multiple readers (you lose the C in CAP), and can promote a reader when the writer fails.

Depends. Run a benchmark on your own hardware/network. ZFS uses in-flight compression because CPUs are generally faster than disks. That may or may not be the case for your setup.

That would be a terrible coincidence :,) however improbable, still possible. Even proper high-end server-grade ECC ram guarantees "only" SECDED (single error correction, double error detection).
