This is interesting, thanks for sharing.

How do you stream the audio to the people in the audience? Are you still using WebRTC or do you add some latency and use something like HLS? If WebRTC do you know the number of maximum listeners you can get to on the SFU?

aSigon Ask HN: What stack would you use to build a CRUD web app on the JVM today?

Spring Boot backed with Postgres and Maven to wrap it all up. Spring Boot is really years of distilled knowledge of creating web servers in Java. Its opinionated but for good reason; you'll very quickly get everything you need for a RESTful API and there's extensions for almost everything you'd need. Need to work with websockets? Just add a few lines to your POM. Need scheduling? Include an annotation on your main class. It really is a solid framework.

aSigon Out of control Java processes when dealing with a leap second?

I saw the same across all of our Ubuntu servers. Some running Tomcat others running SmartFox Server (a java based game server). A reboot + app restart fixed it.

aSigon The Critical Security Flaws that Resulted in Last Friday's Hack

Does anyone else get the feeling that the attacker is going to be someone the Cloudflare team knows? Firstly they would have had to have known Matthew's phone number. Then, assuming the attacker always had the plan of disrupting the target site, they would have had to have known that the password reset mails were BCC'd to admins.

aSigon Bye Bye SVN, Hello Git

There's a fair few extra features you wouldn't think you would need but you'll discover mainly through using it. We made the switch from svn to git a while back and I can't imagine how we used to get by without stash, cherry-pick, bisect etc. There's more to git than just a distributed repository and better branching for sure.
