Sahbak··on Marijuana addiction: those struggling often face skepticism
You can and will die if you quit cold turkey from certain drugs. That is the difference.
Sahbak··on Actors say Hollywood studios want their AI replicas – for free, forever
I don't know if "sorry" is what I'd feel for Hollywood stars like Tom Holland. I'm not sure what I will feel, if at all, but it is probably not close to empathy.
Sahbak··on Reflections on 10k Hours of DevOps
5. YAML engineers :)
Sahbak··on CircleCI says hackers stole encryption keys and customers’ source code
Having gone through SOC2 at two different companies, anyone who takes these certificates seriously is a fool.
Sahbak··on ‘Breakthrough’ obesity drugs that have stunned researchers
The fact you're trying to tie obesity to alcohol (Existed for thousands of years) and weed is bizarre, considering the far more natural and obvious link is copious amounts of sugar and hfcs (In drinks, spreads, processed food, etc). A 5 years old kid is not obese because of drugs. He's obese because his parents feed him absolute garbage due to preference, price, eduction, etc. Most modern/western people are hopelessly addicted to sweet
Sahbak··on Even after $100B, self-driving cars are going nowhere
Automatic public transportation will solve a lot of issues.
Sahbak··on The Dhall Configuration Language
Don't. Use helm, kustomize or a decent code language. Dhall will constrict, slow you down, make onboarding a nightmare, and ultimately be as brittle as other alternatives (Only it's harder to find where it broke). I cannot advocate against dhall enough.
Sahbak··on The Dhall Configuration Language
Just my 2cents - ehen I started at current employer, we had a huge, convulted dhall project for kube. We ended up switching to a real language (python in our case due to reasons, Go is a more correct choice) and are very pleased with the results.
Sahbak··on Apple, Google and Microsoft Commit to Expanded Support for FIDO Standard
Most attacks are social engineering. Everything else, to the best of my knowledge, does not target passwords
Sahbak··on New on Reddit: Comment search, improved search results relevance, search design
I can only recommend aggressively blocking popular subs, ones that are managed by the big mods, and any that have even one political thread that gets a suspicious amount of votes. All actually becomes a source of new interesting content that way.
Sahbak··on Show HN: No-code alternative to Retool, Appsmith, Internal, etc.
Don't expect this to change. Most companies realize they can't provide any value for enterprises in that price tier, so they lock SSO behind the most expensive tier. Drives me mad but that's the industry.
Sahbak··on iPhone flaw exploited by second Israeli spy firm
Pegasus is legally considered a weapon in Israel and I doubt the government will allow it.
Sahbak··on Israel police uses NSO’s Pegasus to spy on citizens
You can argue about it's effectiveness, but NSO does have an ethics committee.
Sahbak··on Facebook is planning to rebrand the company with a new name
I find it difficult to believe Sweeney will give up Epic's ownership
Sahbak··on Facebook-owned sites were down
Signal has and will go down just like facebook. Cloudflare/aws having issues affects an insanely high percentage of the internet. People still use them. Outages rarely cause anything, they happen, people move on.
Sahbak··on AWS US-WEST-2 connectivity issues (amazon.com)
Completely broke our service ECR pulls were broken, ingresses didn't respond properly. Surprised not much noise was raised (Mainly based on eu-west-1)
Sahbak··on Incident with GitHub
"Partial Outage". What a fancy way to say everything is broken to avoid SLA issues. (And reporting on git itself last). What a joke.
Sahbak··on We don’t use Kubernetes
Not OP, but similar workloads, team of 5 We use kops to deplot and manage the clusters. The hardest part is updating, due to the workloads running on it. Other than that, little to no problems with kube itself.
Sahbak··on HN was down
Sometimes, it pays off being extremely simple. In HN, it definitely does
Sahbak··on Journalists Hacked with Suspected NSO Group iMessage ‘Zero-Click’ Exploit
That's absolutely bullshit, many tech literate people here are against the weapon industry, which NSO is part of. Enough of them don't give a shit, which is why NSO can hire people from the intelligence arm of the army for ridiculous salaries.
Sahbak··on What you need to know about upcoming Docker Hub rate limiting
Unless I'm mistaken, 100 pulls per 6 hours per IP is a lot - You would/should be caching most of the images from dockerhub anyways, so subsequential builds shouldn't count against your limit.
Sahbak··on Let’s Encrypt to transition to ISRG root
You do have rate limits, so if you need to spin up a lot of subdomains you won't really have a choice
Sahbak··on Watch ing Star Wars in Postgres
This was probably the funniest yet interesting and technical talk I've seen recently. Definitely inspired me to think outside the box and look for these fun things!
Sahbak··on Everything you should know about certificates and PKI but are too afraid to ask
You should disable tls1.0 (and 1.1, preferably). Chrome has disabled the support for that
Sahbak··on You might not need Kubernetes
I honestly don't understand the amount of negativity towards dockers and kubernetes sometimes.

All major cloud providers have a managed k8 service, so you don't have/need to learn much about the underlying system. You can spend a few days, at most, to learn about dockers, k8 configuration files and helm and you're pretty much set for simple workloads (and even helm might be overkill).

Afterwards, deploying, testing, reproducing things is, in my opinion, much better than managing your applications on random servers.

Might I be wasting some money on a k8 cluster? Maybe. Do I believe the benefits outweigh the money? Absolutely.

Sahbak··on Antidepressant withdrawal: reviewing the paper behind the headlines
Did you stop cold turkey? Both times I've stopped taking meds I've been instructed to do it gradually.
Sahbak··on Tech Workers Now Want to Know: What Are We Building This For?
I don't see the connection between dudebros and working to get a salary and not much more.
Sahbak··on Disney's movie dominance has a dark side, independent theatre warns
The hero's journey is the reason I find it so hard to care about anything that happens in Marvel and most fantasy films. Knowing what comes next (Oh look, here is the part where Thor/Black Panther/Spiderman/etc loses his power) really kills my interest in the plot.
Sahbak··on How I used a Google query to mine passwords from dozens of public Trello boards
At a previous company, a new employee accidentally commited his aws credentials to a public github repo, which had instance creation capabilities. It got scraped and we had the max amount of instances created at every zone (we assume for mining). I assume you have bots scraping public sites for those creds at all times.
Sahbak··on A letter about Google AMP
And it will get paid... How? Ads are keeping your net experience free.
