I rented a Volkswagen a few months ago and yep, that checks out.

Also it was the first time in my life I had to search online how to reset a car entertainment system, because the screen suddenly didn’t work anymore.

A friend of mine bought a new VW a few years ago. He was so excited about that app it came with alerting him about unlocked doors, open trunk, open window, etc. Well, 100% false alert rate.

I remember seeing VRML as a kid and I was mindblown. If I recall correctly, it ran in IE 4 with an add-on. I really thought, only a few more weeks and I can build games like Doom myself running in a browser.

Well, with my assessment I was off over a decade lol.

Last week I went to some meetup and met a young guy raving about every website is going to be VR in about two years. I didn’t even know about VRML.

Still using Google Workspace in our company to collaborate and send/receive emails, still using Google Maps for recommendations and routes, still using a Google phone. I guess the answer is no.

Nice, I like lightweight and modern terminal emulators. Just installed kitty and compared it in a sloppy way to foot [0] (by running `xxd /dev/urandom` side-by-side) and foot appears to be faster.

Almost three years ago, but the last time we used database as engine for Laravel’s queue subsystem it exploded due to some database table locks under high load. We switched to redis and things just worked well.

…and accessed over SFTP.

I worked for a company in the health industry and one of the labs we integrated refused to call a HTTPS endpoint whenever a result was ready, so we had to poll every _n_ mins to fetch results. That worked well until covid happened and there were so many test results causing all sorts of issues like reading empty files (because they were about to be written to disk) and things of that nature.

Sounds like Germany’s company register[1].

You can search for companies, select the documents you’d like to see (like shareholder lists), then you go through a checkout process and pay 0 EUR (used to be like a few euros years ago), and then you can finally download your file. Still a super tedious process, but at least for free nowadays.

> Disable IPv6: this approach relies on ARP, which IPv6 doesn't use

I wish more people would care about IPv6.

Yes, you contact support provide them a description of what is faulty (disk with the exact serial number) and they gonna replace it usually within 30-60 mins.

Provisioning of servers was always quite fast. Same day or the next business day.

My experience is a little dated, I used to order bunch of dedicated boxes from them for our clients and with Hetzner we always had the best experience. Also the most bang for the buck.

Is it correct though?

I’ve been toying around with ChatGPT for a few weeks now and I encountered a few situations in which ChatGPT was like 90% accurate at best. Things like suggesting snippets of configuration files or plugin research. It’s good to get an idea and get started somewhere, but I certainly cannot trust it blindly.

I got one self-hosted setup: Postfix, dovecot, both IPv4 and IPv6. It has been working for 15+ years and is still going strong. Never had any major deliverability issues.

In my new company we are using Gmail though. Easier to manage for non-tech people and it’s fully managed.

I think the idea was (or still is) to have dollars or some other equivalent that is more tangible and easier to transfer in the world of cryptocurrencies.

For example everything hosted by Cogent directly: https://bgp.tools/prefix/2001:550::/32#dns

It’s generally not a good idea to be single homed anyway. My first network was only upstreamed by HE and I ran into the Cogent situation quite quickly. Adding more upstreams fixed it. But also other NSPs don’t reach everything. Sometimes there are some niche networks that can only be reached over peering or some other transit providers. Though it’s super rare.

I’d love to see IPv6

Same here. I’m always curious as to what things Google is building and providing, but I’m so afraid that things will break within the next 18 months, because Google suddenly decides to ditch it again.

> Twitter started as a protocol.

Can someone help me understand that? When and how did it start as a protocol?

DataBorg extracts data from text and builds a knowledge graph from it.

> The truth is no one really sells your email – at least no legitimate companies.

Yes, but legitimate companies leak data now and then. I get metric tons of spam to dropbox@, linkedin@, myspace@, moneybookers@, etc.

I like that one. It won’t force me to sign-up

There’s also the serial console one could use

About time.

Coincidentally, today I watched three presentations about burning Kubernetes clusters and all of them had Docker daemon issues in the mix. I’ve been using Docker for over five years myself and I’ve been using Kubernetes for almost two years now. The most pain I encountered was with Docker or its own ecosystem.

In the last two years it always had some weird racy situations where it damaged its IPAM or simply couldn’t start containers after a restart anymore. Also its IPv6 support is just a joke.

Sorry, I had to rant and I hope that this announcement will fuel the development of Docker alternatives even more.

Same here. Earlier this year I consulted a company for evaluating whether to modernize their current ERP or buy a new one. What I found was a large clusterfun of an application inside a MSSQL database with Microsoft Access frontends and some glue code molded as .net application on Windows 10 in between accessing third party APIs. Barely anything documented, thousands of stored procedures. When I asked how they roll out changes and perform tests I got this answer: “As few deployments as possible. Everytime we deployed new features, there have been always issues for a couple of days.”

The example in your blog post. Are those numbers close to reality? I’m just blown away by the CAC in the SaaS world.

Things like this explain some devs I encounter solve networking things which could be done on a LAN level using multicast for instance instead through the cloud.

That brings back some memories. Back in 2005 I started to use Linux as my daily driver and in 2007 I started as a web developer. Firebug was a blessing, still thanks to IE6 my job was a painful ride.

Yup.

As seen from AS3320.

We had this once with one of our former ISPs configuring static routes towards us and announcing them to a couple of IXPs. I have no idea why they did it, but it caused a major downtime once for us and basically signed the termination.

This has been ongoing for months already. Nobody at Sendgrid cared. We had several issues with them leading to penalize mails from their IP space.

I’m actively discouraging my customers from using their service.
