evrflx··on Extreme layout shift at Lufthansa's profile page
Why not have an integrated frontend instead of Micro frontends?
evrflx··on JMAP for Calendars, Contacts and Files Now in Stalwart
Where is the overhead in a container? It is just a regular process. (Ok plus a container runtime process, but that is negligible)
evrflx··on Kairos: Immutable Distro for K8s at the Edge
Would love to hear about the pain points: Please elaborate, as I am currently in the decision phase and Talos as of now the top contender.
evrflx··on Ask HN: Could dual pilot input help prevent Air India-like crashes?
What if an input is required to prevent a crash and one pilot maliciously does nothing.

I think there is a point in life when you just have to trust or the complexity and failure scenarios explodes.

By the way I have a similar feeling about software supply chains. You can do a little but there is a point it becomes futile.

evrflx··on Left Google to solve documentation hell: What if your tests could write your doc
I like the idea! We use it actually for a financial application we develop for a bank. We use spring test docs with tests to create example api calls with answers, run reference calculations as part of the test and record the outcome and decisions Both become part of the documentation rendered with asciidoc. We added custom annotations to add documentation snippets thorough the code in addition to using drools and recording the ruleset as well. Feedback is great! But it is no generic approach and involved quite some effort for infrastructure and ongoing maintenance. But well worth the effort given the stakes involved.

Perhaps this helps you as feedback. I am curious how your approach will turn out.

evrflx··on DDoSecrets publishes 410 GB of heap dumps, hacked from TeleMessage
This feature must be explicitly enabled, it is not on by default nor by accident.
evrflx··on Replacing Kubernetes with Systemd
For small vps Kubernetes might be overkill indeed. But: the API and ecosystem is really an enabler besides the built in infrastructure.

For the single vps-with-containers use case I recommend checking out watchtower instead of relying on systemd scripting.

evrflx··on Anyone scaling ArgoCD across multiple clusters?
I used one ArgoCD instance per cluster as of today. Makes security and scaling easier. What is your main driver to have a single ArgoCD instance?
evrflx··on Val Kilmer, star of Top Gun and The Doors, dies aged 65
I wonder why „The Saint“ is not mentioned. Loved the movie and the different characters played by val kilmer.
evrflx··on [dead]
The aggressor putin can stop any time and there will be peace. After that new elections are legally possible according to ukrainian law.
evrflx··on Keycloak, Angular, and the BFF Pattern
With an XSS exploit it is game over, you control the browser. Adding more complexity and opening up the possibility of CSRF exploits with BFF does not look like a good trade off to me.
evrflx··on CodeMic demo: beyond screencasts – record and replay inside your IDE
I like the concept, great idea!
evrflx··on Hoop.dev – the only access gateway with packet manipulation
I would love to see a screenshot or visualization of session recordings / audits.
evrflx··on Why is no Laravel/Rails in JavaScript? Will there be one?
How about nest? https://nestjs.com/
evrflx··on Ask HN: OCR tool handwritten image to text
Have you tried Google cloud ocr? I had pretty good experience with it.
evrflx··on Ask HN: What is your experience with ZeroSSL?
I got weired errors including delivery of old, expired, certificates on renewal and api errors. I currently log into Google acme as alternative to LE to have a backup, the Android issue does not apply to my environment.
evrflx··on How did the viral Willy Wonka experience go so wrong?
Why blame the ai when in fact it was poorly executed obviously with insufficient budget?
evrflx··on Ask HN: What is the "Ruby on Rails" of the Node world?
I had some pretty good experiences with Nestjs.
evrflx··on Stirling-PDF: local web application to perform various operations on PDFs
Did you already give ghostscript a try?
evrflx··on Charliecloud: Lightweight and Fully Unprivileged Container for HPC
Yes it even can be installed without root capabilities: https://docs.sylabs.io/guides/latest/admin-guide/installatio...
evrflx··on WHO reports on new unidentified virus in China
Also on the Web https://www.who.int/news/item/22-11-2023-who-statement-on-re...
evrflx··on Charliecloud: Lightweight and Fully Unprivileged Container for HPC
I recommend to have a look at singularity as well https://sylabs.io/ which I use successfully in the past.
evrflx··on Record-Breaking Snow Extent in Northern Hemisphere
Article is from 2022
evrflx··on Ask HN: How to send mobile notifications through a script?
I can recommend ntfy.sh - easy, no sign up required if you don’t mind that somebody might read your notifications if you choose an easy to guess name.
evrflx··on Firefox 118
Could be hardware related. Did you check your memory and/or overclocking settings?
evrflx··on Hetzner Cloud API Outage
Careful about Hetzner cloud: the ip ranges are randomly blocked by Google and probably other CDNs. You might get an instance where you can’t pull docker images correctly from gitlab or k8s registry. This is more then annoying since it is not reproducible and leads to unreliable results.
evrflx··on Why aren’t we giving Ukraine what it needs?
No war can be won with nukes. If they have any use at all it is to prevent hot wars. Simple as that.
evrflx··on Why aren’t we giving Ukraine what it needs?
I guess there are deals in place which companies profit most of rebuilding Ukraine. It won’t be of countries not helping I assume. So it could be a net positive outcome even tax wise to help as fast and good as possible for Ukraine to win the war.
evrflx··on Why aren’t we giving Ukraine what it needs?
If it is unavoidable anyway because putin will die some day there is no reason to prolong the war - is it?
evrflx··on Why aren’t we giving Ukraine what it needs?
Is there a way to loose without causing instability? Is instability even avoidable since one day the emperor will die.
