I have the latest Gen 13 I5. It was an impulse buy as was on offer at a good price. I installed a 1TB Solodigm P44 NVME drive, 32GB memory. OS wise I installed Proxmox. Install was a pain but that’s because I wanted LUKS encryption. I had t

They make good low powered virtualization machines (proxmox)/firewalls (opensense etc)/linux desktops. Network doesn't seem great on this though, most of the Aliexpress N200 boxes support 2.5G and fanless.

Python is a good example. You have several teams, each working on their own Python app. Each app is in various maturity levels, some are old in maintenance mode, some are new using the latest libraries. These teams or other teams also have

I find the actual deployment with cloudfunctions easy as you say. The complexity is the orchestration, the architecture, the hard vendor limitations, having to deal with being a distributed system. Having a FAAS service makes the deployment

That's the thing. All containers are, are a standardized way to ship (distribute) your artifact (application) with it's dependencies inside it. It's a tar archive with a manifest file. I find it easier to think of them as RPM

I’ve gone down bit of a rabbit hole the past week looking at low power x86 boxes. I woke up last Saturday morning with my home router, a PC Engines APU2 that had been fault free for the past four years not booting making a clicking noise. I

Agreed! Had good success doing this with a toy mapping web app. Serializing polylines with Protobufs significantly reduced payload size compared to a JSON `[number,number][]` and as it was HTTP I could offload onto a CDN by setting cache-co

This is sad. I built a home OpenBSD router several years ago using the APU2. I haven't touched it/loggied in for several years although I keep meaning to so i can update the OS. It's been sat ticking along nicely doing DNS, D

Rust on Lambda's using containers as the deployment artifact are also very good, i'd say a perfect match. Low artifact size, low cpu+memory usage, fast execution. I think AWS must be using increasingly using Rust on Lambda interna

That’s interesting. I’m using cloudflare pages with workers doing the same as you on a much smaller scale. The workers reverse proxy a rest api under the same host so I don’t need to worry about CORS, take the country HTTP header provided b

No ads at all. Most of my media is consumed through YouTube. If you watch YouTube frequently I highly recommend paying for YouTube premium. If you sign up over VPN via Argentina it's also extremely cheap (Google search will guide you).
