So they make a grave mistake from a data protection point of view. Why do I need to give a contractor access to things on my drives like my work contracts, bank statements, other contracts, encrypted SSH keys, as well as some information ot

Hm. I think about that the other way around. If you make information about effective and readily available ways to end ones life available, people harboring bad depression will read that, acquire these tools and use them on impulse during a

I disagree with that, to be honest. At a first glance, you might think "but where is the shiny carrot that makes me upgrade?" But the thing is - we have dealt with major upgrades at work which broke many things, added many feature

I'd say the respect towards the users is displayed by the frequency of breaking changes and the overall time to migrate, through deprecation warnings and at least security maintenance of older versions. Sometimes things need to change.

Oh, TIL X-Frame-Options has been superseeded. That was the header I was thinking about.

This is also pretty useful if you use parametrized unit files. For example, most of our long term archiving is implemented in a parametrized systemd unit `push-to-archive@`. So in order to backup a new dataset, you deploy the config for it,

If I recall right, Sprint originated from Extreme Programming, a predecessor to current agile methods. In XP, there was very much the idea of spending time to prepare for a sprint. Get requirements and preconditions worked out, clear out po

On the other hand, there is value in being lazy in the right places. Like, in our first configuration management, we were strict and anal about testing everything. Add a new property for a config file? Needs a unit test for the default valu

This is what we did in pretty much all of our monitoring some time ago. We ripped out most memory graphs except for "Total Memory" and "Available Memory" as well as memory pressure from the PSI metrics. And we placed ale

I'd summarize it as: The Unreal Engine, especially in the 3D realm, gives you a far higher ceiling of possibilities, but it requires a lot more work and effort to use it. Godot, Unity, GameMaker, RPG Maker, RenPy and many more limit yo

I don't know about Windows, but the Linux kernel is entirely fine to just keep rarely used memory pages around as long as it doesn't need the memory. If you don't need the memory otherwise, having the page loaded and cached i

Mh. Though at that point you might be looking at desktop computers, and access to the current users file might be good enough. Sure, you can't install printer drivers via non-root X servers, but you can probably exfiltrate their local

IMO it all depends on the goal. If you're just noodling around on the guitar to have some fun, you're not strictly trying to pick better. If you're doing picking exercises, you're not exploring what a new pedal can do. I

Yeah, applying some realization about learning instruments, I'm currently more or less forcing me to just do stuff in Godot. More focus on doing and learning, less focus on the result. It's part struggle with other programming min

We're much rather looking at reducing the number of technologies we have and exchanging one specialized one-use database for another one doesn't sound great. And sure, TimescaleDB is a hefty extension and will require some work to

We're migrating off of InfluxDB due to that rollercoaster, honestly. It's hard enough to find time to maintain the monitoring stack at work. Casually dropping "Oh, and now you get to rebuild the entire grafana to change the q

I mean in my naive world, you'd slap some minimum revenue onto the rev-share and you'd have a clear separation between hobbyists, unsuccessful indies, indies, and huge successes. It'd be muddled in the middle, sure, but if so

At 7500 records a day, I'd even question RabbitMQ in the design. If I was to judge that at work, my first thought would be that one of our busier postgres clusters with 2 read replicas is chugging through some 2-3k transactions per sec

This is what I've been starting to think about on a more abstract level: Introducing a new technology, a new system into a design isn't like putting a piece into a jigsaw puzzle, or even worse, trying to mold and force the system

Also what about the customer that deleted an important thing 6 weeks ago and absolutely needs it recovered? BTW, it's just one tentant in that DB, the other shouldn't be recovered, naturally.

We've switched to them based on Hashicorp Vault and I think they are an improvement in security and convenience. Before SSH host certificates, using tooling like ansible was seriously annoying, especially to the monthly ansible users,

Mh. I think the problem is: There are (at least) 2 fundamentally different use cases for linux/unix systems. One is what I'd call a shell-server. On a shell-server, I have a bunch of accounts for users, and there are services supp
