I thought it was going to be a problem when I gave up the IP I've had for a mailserver at hoster A for 15 years and moved to Hetzner, but it wasn't. But of course that's only anecdata, like everything 90% of personal mail ser

People use different sites, so I believe it, especially "local" ones of zero interest to people in other countries. That said, I've not used chrome on personal machines as a default browser for many years, and at work I also

That highly depends on what services your're using. We migrated from AWS to GCP in 2016/2017 (mostly VMs and related stuff, CloudFront, etc - no lambdas) and it was pretty painless and everything worked smoothly until the end of t

FWIW, when I wrote a tool like this I used same size + some hash function, not MD5 but maybe SHA1, don't remember. First and last bytes is a good idea, didn't think of that.

At a former job we used an older version of NetBeans for Remote C++ development. We never got anything else properly to work with that particular setup, but we also never really tried - it just worked, unlike with the latest version at th t

I challenge the "organized person" thing already. I'm very organized in some areas and make the biggest mess in others. Also what does "unorganized" even mean? I usually don't forget work TODOs but I regularly

It doesn't make me nervous because Debian has only let me down a couple of times over nearly 20 years and for example Ubuntu und RHEL and SLES have let me down dozens of times each. Also I don't usually run "supported".

The point is that it works 95% of the time, or probably more like 98%. If this is a e.g. webserver and I only need my fastcgi backend built by myself, I can still have reverse proxy, database, and every other package be done by the distro.

Glad to hear. When I brought it up somewhere I got exact the "oh you're running 4.x - we also had that problem, but 5 works fine".

I've not experienced something on this scale for many years, "Debian stable packages are so outdated" is mostly a meme. Debian 12 was 1y old when I did this and very often you can relatively easily find a backport or build

Careful, the version in Debian 12 is old and apparently just barely predates the "good" versions. I had so many problems that I went back to Docker, because current Podman didn't seem to be trivially installable on Debian 12.

Look at every single discussion about Electron ;) "It's a basic tool that sits hidden in my tray 99.9% of the time and it should not use 500MB of memory when it's not doing anything" is part of product quality.

Don't disagree on the resume-padding but only taking into account message volume and not the other features is also not the best way to look at it. Have I used (not necessarily decided on) Kafka in every single company/project for

It's a very one-dimensional view. My problems with Java are startup time and memory consumption (and NPEs). If that's not your problem - fine. But writing web apps in the Java ecosystem has been terrible for many of the most impor

Good point. I actually think we're both on some of the statements, so that's at least one problem I wouldn't have. Still ridiculous overall, of course.
