you are missing the point - updating "network elements" was never the problem. Linux kernel has IPv6 support since 2.6. RedHat got IPv6 in 2008. Nginx got it in 2010. And yet there plenty of IPv4-systems out there. why? Software u

Out of curiosity, how do you handle backups? (To my great disappointment, a lot of "how to self-host" guides just omit that step, and quietly assume that disks don't go bad...)

"Root cause analysis" is pretty complex, and DNS + TCP + TLS are just a tiny bits of it (and they are one of the most reliable ones too, as those components are written once and then typically never touched). When I do root analys

Imagine a program with a compile error, nicely wrapped into reproducible build system (like a docker with tools or nix). It is deterministic - compilation fails at the same line every time. It is fully reproducible - anyone can get the same

We should have 60 seconds per minute, and 60 minutes per hour, and 24 hours per day. How is this achieved - no leap seconds, smeared leap seconds, hard time jump every few thousands years - does not really matter.

by theamk 8mo ago
No, they should not. We convert timestamps to and from date+times all the time. Having each day be exactly 86400 seconds simplifies this a lot, and practically every app benefits from that. Leap second smearing will ensure smooth and contin

This seems like a pure theater, which provides no functional security? Surely human will simply use a debugger. Open inspector and find the object in DOM. Or open JS console and find it using a single command. Not to mention that "diff

I think it's pretty slow to update.. it is nowhere near realtime. But I bet tomorrow this downtime will be reflected. (example https://www.githubstatus.com/incidents/g9j4tmfqdd09 : ~1 hour Actions outage on Mar 5)

directory-per-device is a best way to manage robot config _if you want to stick to git_. If you combine "directory per device" with "git forge, like github or gitlab" then most of your concerns disappear completely: - &q

Yep, that's the sad truth - a language popularity often has nothing to do with it's security properties. People will happily keep churning out insecure junk as long as it makes them millions, botnet and data compromises be damned.

I wonder what performance of that thing is. From one side, large hand-written assembly programs don't usually have much optimizations - neither compiler-induced micro-optimizations, nor LTO optimization, nor high-level optimizations fr
