Why not grow the maintainers group to multiple people? A trusted group of people that share the vision of the project. This way the project becomes a living thing that doesn’t depend on the goodwill of a single person. And that single perso

WAF’s intention is to catch common attacks. I was also skeptical about it until I saw Azure application gateway WAF’s default policies to fend off log4j attacks. My take is now to configure WAF at a generic level with minimal impact on appl

The client app connecting to exchange directly is not “peer-to-peer”. It’s more a point-to-point connectivity. Or depending on your interpretation it might be even point-to-site considering a client to be a point and the exchange is a site.

I have been using syncthing for at least 3 years now. Sync’ing a 7gb directory across 6 devices. I rarely get conflicts, when it happens i just click on the conflicts link via the browser and check which files are conflicting and try to res

Well said! Times has indeed changed. Today we have access to: - http2 - broadband internet - clients have large local caches/storage Privacy and security are gaining traction.

I’m also interested. We are currently using the managed pg server where we create multiple databases inside. The managed pg database does not support private endpoint if i recall and it gets pretty expensive. Also single managed server does

Was existing API management solutions like Mulesoft considered? And while on the reuse topic, will Uber open source this?

I sometimes think MS product owners are on coke all the time or something. Last week or so i was in the middle of a conference call and MS teams just decided to restart itself with a new update.

This is an interesting approach. I also dislike the current architecture they are pushing. Actions can break any time. Makes pipelines/actions very fragile and as you pointed not portable either. The portability could be fixed by havin

It does feel that way. I missed the section on self reflection. Now the article sounds like he’s blaming the world/employer for his dissatisfaction.

If Synology doesn’t resolve this PR drama soon, affected customers should indeed try the legal route. Not sure if Synology has their ass covered via terms of service. Even if they did, it’s their fault people lost access to their data. Inte

It depends. If you are doing a side project next to your regular employment, i would avoid creating any legal entity unless strictly necessary. Why? You add legal obligations to yourself. When you are starting up as solo-entrepreneur, try t

If your day/part time job pays well, you can also outsource time consuming tasks. This should work well when you are a contractor (high wage, self-employed or own limited company) you can write off the out sourcing costs as expenses. I

Doubt there is anything you can do. Should have read the contract/terms before getting in bed with them. If your business has grown you could evaluate to move off the shopify platform. And figure out best way to handle this fine/c

Are you implying we need a manager1 (k8s) to manage containers? This manager1 cannot be trusted so introduce manager2 to manage manager1? What’s next? We need to look forward to manager3? I dont like where this is going

This is the downside of “cloud services”. It’s all sunshine and rainbows when it works. When it breaks, start praying and pull the wallet hoping that helps. You are just at their mercy because you cant look under the hood even if you want t

I’m curious why the author didn’t take this to court? Perhaps it can evolve into a class action lawsuit. That would teach FB and other FAANGs.

Is it just me or they have overestimated the problem? For Uber’s use case I don’t see a reason to build the system that requires global scale. Users are often residing in the same geolocation. Why build this massive system that works for al

I'm surprised the article did not show the difference. Here it is: 1 space after period === I’ve written before about the effect of color gradients on reading, and how it goes against the findings of science that our words should

The article is way too long for the message it tried to convey. Whatever that message was, I didn't get it. Related to this topic: IF IPv6 was a drop-in replacement for IPv4 then I think the adoption would be much better today. For ins

Looks interesting for dev mode. But will keep sentry for production environments.

Indeed your side note should be the first point. I see that very often in practice. As a result, products get rewritten all the time because developers dont want to spend time understanding the current system believing they can do better j

The badge did help with discovery. However i think the exposure was most likely due to the shout out in the podcast. Too much credit is being given for the badge.

Two highlights for me that were useful: 1) keep expectations low in terms of compatibility. Most non apple apps will take time before they are ported to run natively on M1 2) related to point 1, the great battery life being marketed is not

I was secretly hoping the author would end up with an average second hand car of let’s say 10k and donate 70k to non profit orgs that would let’s say plant more trees.

Thanks for the inspiration. I have similar problems now. Gonna use icloud as buffer and start moving out and sort photos to own NAS (synology in this case).
