cirowrc··on Feds arrest couple, seize $3.6B in hacked Bitcoin funds
with atomic swaps that make use of taproot, that wouldn't be distinguishable from, say, opening a lightning channel, but still, there's not enough liquidity there (and this is very recent stuff anyway)

You could have a third bot that posts a comment in the thread each time You could have a second bot that posts a comment in the thread each time with something like: "See, this is why you shouldn't use hosted services for your core infrastructure." Lots of karma to be had there as well.

cirowrc··on Show HN: Termtosvg – Record terminal sessions as SVG animations
Thanks for putting your effort on this! It seems pretty great.

Being an `asciinema + svg-term-cli` user myself, what are the arguments for moving to `termtosvg`?

Thanks!

cirowrc··on Grammarly shared its tokens with all websites
Maybe I'll sound stupid, but is it possible to force an update of a chrome extension without removing it and then adding it again from the store? Is that application-specific?

thx!

cirowrc··on Grafana 5.0 Beta
> In v5.0 we decided to improve this experience by adding a new active provisioning system that uses config files. This will make GitOps more natural as data sources and dashboards can be defined via files that can be version controlled.

Yay!

For me the best two things of the release: - dashboard folders - dashboard provisioning

Keep up with the great work!

cirowrc··on Extensions in Firefox 59
This is very cool:

> Extensions can now override the proxy settings in the browser which has been another highly requested feature

I see that there's an opportunity here to improve the experience of using SOCKS in the browser. Pretty cool.

cirowrc··on Escaping Docker container using waitid() – CVE-2017-5123
Thanks!
cirowrc··on Escaping Docker container using waitid() – CVE-2017-5123
In the article the author states:

> CVE-2017-5123 was published earlier this year on Oct 12 — it was a Linux kernel vulnerability in the waitid() syscall for 4.12-4.13 kernel versions.

Does this mean that kernel versions prior to 4.12 are not affected? That's what I understood from the related issue in the bug tracker https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1500094

By the way, this is very important:

> In 2017 alone, 434 linux kernel exploits where found, and as you have seen in this post, kernel exploits can be devastating for containerized environments. This is because containers share the same kernel as the host, thus trusting the built-in protection mechanisms alone isn’t sufficient. Make sure your kernel is always updated on all of your production hosts.

Great article!

cirowrc··on Show HN: Project Management as Code with Graphviz
Thanks for sharing!

I've been using the "same" technique with some projects I have but just to outline specific components of the system such that it becomes more clear what interacts with what.

For me, the best that I got out of it was having to think hard about those relations and improving the documentation of the subject.

Have a good one!

cirowrc··on Kubernetes 1.9: Apps Workloads GA and Expanded Ecosystem
oh, I didn't look at that. Thanks!
cirowrc··on Kubernetes 1.9: Apps Workloads GA and Expanded Ecosystem
That's so great to hear! I love to see how it empowers small teams to deliver big stuff.

What was the trickiest part for you when it comes to real production usage?

cirowrc··on Kubernetes 1.9: Apps Workloads GA and Expanded Ecosystem
I'm particularly excited about the advance of the Container Storage Interface (CSI).

Having developed two custom docker volume plugins I wonder whether Docker is going to adopt it for its cluster offering (swarm mode) or leave it aside as it did with CNI (real question). Anybody knows about it?

cirowrc··on Amazon Route 53 Releases Auto Naming API for Service Name Management/Discovery
When I first read the article I was under the impression that now one would be able to connect a zone with an autoscaling group (and, as you mentioned, avoid allocation internal ELBs), but it looks like it's really just some sugar on top of the existing API.

Am I right?

cirowrc··on Incremental Backups Using GNU Tar and S3
I totally agree!
cirowrc··on Incremental Backups Using GNU Tar and S3
I didn't know about `bup`! Thanks for the reference! I was reading the README and it indeed looks pretty great. Have you been using it? What's your experience with it?

The ability to recover from a left state seems pretty amazing:

> You can back up directly to a remote bup server, without needing tons of temporary disk space on the computer being backed up. And if your backup is interrupted halfway through, the next run will pick up where you left off.

cirowrc··on Executing multiple commands in SSH session against multiple machines
`mpssh` does the job so well! I'll update the post with a quick use of it as well. Thx!
cirowrc··on Executing multiple commands in SSH session against multiple machines
Oh, I didn't know about either mpssh and mussh! Thanks a lot for mentioning, it does the job super well!

I'll update the article with a note about disabling the checking. Thanks!

cirowrc··on Code together in real time with Teletype for Atom
That's pretty nice, kudos! By the way, I'm impressed no one mentioned tmux' remote session in this thread.

What is your basis for that (chargin more)? Customer needs? (trying to understand your valuation)
cirowrc··on [dead]
As far as I understood it generates dynamically (a user did that in the comments).

Are you aware of other tools that generates the diagram dynamically?

When I was still going to computer graphics classes the ThreeJS source code helped me learn a bunch - the code is pretty straightforward when it comes to the basic to at least get a scene and an OBJ loader working with some shaders.
cirowrc··on Ask HN: What do you scrape the web for?
totally agree! I've never been exposed to realestate stuff but it definitely seems a place where that makes a lot of sense.

Did you have some experiences with it yourself?
