I was totally happy to see these graphs after all these years, haha. Now I'm wondering if netflix has munin or cacti or something like that running in their infra.

IMO, the opposite also has to be considered. I've briefly worked with some code bases that absolutely did 1 assert per test. Essentially you'd have a helper method like "doCreateFooWithoutBarAttribute", and 3-4 tests aro

Mh. I'm kinda sad that this is a distro patch. If that was upstream, we'd be using doas at this point in a few sideline setups, I'd guess. Plus, exploiting a directory list or writing files to a rather niche and secure direct

Indeed, I've been looking around somewhat during off-time with a colleague how much we actually use of sudo, and what doas couldn't do. We're indeed looking at starting a migration, because some DNS based, LDAP integrated, PA

These are indeed the two to three things I miss about our chef based infrastructure we had before. Doing 200 - 300 things on a system with chef takes 2 minutes in a chef run either at next full half hour + splay, or when forced. With ansibl

I was about to bring an example from my own musical journey as well. Picking up a second instrument (from an E-Bass to an E-Guitar) has made learning music theory easier and more interesting. It's all the same, but you're looking

So I'm not nuts. My work laptop recently changed from Fedora using flatpak to Ubuntu using snap and with flatpak, I'd get a couple notifications "Hey, XYZ was updated" and on the next reboot, it was new. With snap, I hav

Yep, this has been the hardest fight in our "culture shift towards devops" - getting the idea and wording right. After a lot of discussion, we mostly realized that we get the most value if we define more specific operational roles

In our old config management, we would indeed go ahead and parse configuration files and check values within the configuration files - even values entirely unrelated to the test at hand. Then you'd go ahead and change some default valu

by tetha 4y ago
Yeah, we've made the mistake of testing too much in our last configuration management. A test suite can be strangling if it starts to restrict every single change to the code base, unless you touch like 3-4 tests per configuration file

Indeed. In some cases, I find the memory need to be plausible. For example, our logging ES has nodes running with 32GB of heap, but these nodes are indexing and searching ~900GB of logs each. That's, per node, actually in line with our

Hamburg the city is currently funding a fairly interesting research project. The problem here is that solar + wind at times overproduces, and we have no grid scale energy storage to keep that power. So, a short-term idea is to equip most la

Stuff like that is turning into one of our running gags at work. You have all these machine learning processes and our legacy java applications gobbling up memory by the dozen of gigabytes, or our newer java apps being a bit less greedy but

I notice the same pattern on an infrastructural level. If I work on a test system, or a system a small number of people depend on... a year or two ago this would've hurt my pride, but why spend 4 hours planning a change, if you can jus

You cannot make that assumption at move 3. Even at a very low intermediate level of chess, you can easily know an opening like this for 8 - 10 moves across 2 - 5 variations. I know cause I do. Master Level Prep of the Kings Indian goes 20 m

This is the right middle ground imo as well. It adds a bit of simple difference between the 15 different exporters, without being too far off. We have things like the "Tenant Saw" - extracts a tenant from a multi tenant system, o

Stupid idea: Generate ~8 words... and shove them into GPT-3 to create a ~100 word novel, and make that your security code. Suddenly your security code is about a bearded elf, riding a cucumber, wielding a unicorn to defeat ice cream. Try gu

I think both of these are missing the fundamental question of: What does the business, or what do the product teams need? And what is the business willing to pay for it? We have a whole bunch of simple systems with very lax SLAs around. Tho

A lot of the complaints I have heard about CentOS also wasn't that CentOS was changing, or going away. Most people kind of expected something to happen sooner or later with IBM on board. It's much rather about how clumsy the chang

Very much this. Like, I know I can juggle 4-6 different system problems at once, context switching every couple of minutes between them. And during more massive outages, this is necessary to get things under control faster, sure. But it&#x2

I've had some interesting discussions about this with a bunch of representatives of our larger B2B customers about this. Interestingly enough, to them, a controlled downtime of 2-4 hours with an almost guaranteed success is preferable,
