jandeboevrie··on 'We used acid to sabotage Microsoft hyperscale data centre construction'
Source?
jandeboevrie··on Honesty gets Emacs patch rejected
Nobody want vibecode slop.
jandeboevrie··on Ask HN: Best Podcasts of 2025?
I would have put Coder Radio on this list but ever since Mike took over without Chris the show has lost its appeal for me.

And sadly, there are no more Jupiter Broadcasting shows left without crypto or mostly inside baseball.

Anyone know of shows in the category of two or three lads discussing computing, coding, devops, but in the style of two older guys crumudging that everything used to be better in the old days?

jandeboevrie··on High Available Mosquitto MQTT on Kubernetes
> so wouldn't you accomplish HA without the pseudocontroller by just putting both pods in the Service?

I'm not sure how fast that would be, the extra controller container is needed for the almost instant failover.

Answering your second question, why not an init container in the secondary, because now we can scale that failover controller up over multiple nodes, if the node where the (fairly stateless) controller runs goes down, we'd still have to wait until k8s schedules another pod instead of almost instantly.

jandeboevrie··on High Available Mosquitto MQTT on Kubernetes
Would they work as performant and use the same amount of (less, almost nothing) resources? I've ran mosquito clusters with tens of thousands of connected clients, thousands of messages per second, on 2 cores and 2GB of ram, while mostly idling. (Without retention, using clean sessions and only QoS 0)...

jandeboevrie··on Using a 1965 Dutch Rotary Phone via VoIP (T65) in 2024
Thanks for mentioning, fixed now. That seems to be a translation error on my part.
jandeboevrie··on Using a 1965 Dutch rotary phone via VoIP
Using the VoIP credentials of my ISP in the Fritz!Box or ATA and nothing else. (which they must provide since The Netherlands has free modem choice: https://web.archive.org/web/20230921231725/https://www.acm.n...), no other setup involved, no port forwarding, etc.
jandeboevrie··on Apple's M4 has reportedly adopted the ARMv9 architecture
Try Pidgin with the excellent ms teams plugin: https://github.com/EionRobb/purple-teams - less than 100mb ram usage and notifications that still work after an hour. Only for (video) calls you need to open teams..

Hi this is camping with Steve and today we're nog behind a Canadian sign but inside a US sign!
jandeboevrie··on Rabbit R1 reverse engineered to run on Android
Somewhere to download an apk?
jandeboevrie··on DIY Wi-Fi thermostat from scratch with ESPHome and Home Assistant
esphome is by far the best and most useful piece of software I've encountered in a long time!

Even for non home automation. Simple web API to turn gpio's on or off, coupled with some relays makes for a great easy yaml configurable industrial automation system

jandeboevrie··on OpenVMS Account at DECUServe
It's on my todo list! I hope to integrate it with some modern software like haproxy or the built in Apache fork, next to file sharing etc.
jandeboevrie··on OpenVMS Account at DECUServe
I got my start on OpenVMS at DECUServe 5 years ago: https://raymii.org/s/blog/My_first_OpenVMS.html

Friendly community!

But now OpenVMS is available on x86 and you can run it in VirtualBox yourself: https://raymii.org/s/blog/OpenVMS_9.2_for_x86_Getting_Starte...

jandeboevrie··on Reconstructing Obsidian Features in Vim and Bash
Does zim support markdown? (no there is a fork but not merged yet) and no mobile app...

jandeboevrie··on Constexpr auto ymd {year(2021)/January/day(23)}; (std:chrono:operator/)
A prime example of nice c++. Operator/ is also used as a path separator in std::filesystem: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/filesystem/path/operator_s...
jandeboevrie··on Boot to Vim, Vim as Pid 1 (2014)
As we say in Dutch, u vraagt wij draaien (your request is my command, roughly translated) : https://raymii.org/s/blog/Bare_Metal_Boot_to_Vi.html
jandeboevrie··on Interview with the founder of Teenage Engineering
Funny last name for someone living in a cold climate, KoutHooft translates to cold head in Dutch (minus the T).
jandeboevrie··on Where are my Git UI features from the future?
I often use Sublime Merge to reword commits (edit commit message, even other branches, the entire log is visible), or to split up commits (it undoes the commit and you get everything in the working directory), so I’m not sure if his comparison table is entirely correct. (At least from a user point of view I can easily edit or reword).

One other nice feature of Sublime Merge is the squashing of two commits, ignoring the latters message (as a fixup). Not sure how to do that in one click or command with cli git…

jandeboevrie··on Raspberry Pi Pico Hack Unlocks Two Extra “Hidden” GPIO Pins
Better go to the source : https://www.reddit.com/r/raspberry_pi/comments/w37gx2/i_free... instead of this add-filled page. Scrolled a millimetre down and the "subscribe to our newsletter" popup came. That page adds nothing.
jandeboevrie··on OpenVMS v9.2 for x86 is Available
Too bad that the "Get OpenVMS link" leads to a sales contact form and the hobbyist community license page is not updated yet. A trial download would have been so much better. I can't wait to get started on x86!
jandeboevrie··on The overengineered solution to my pigeon problem
So how do you aim the water gun? I see no servo motors? Or is it more like a wide spray nozzle?
jandeboevrie··on Kermit – Misconceptions and Controversies (2021)
Kermit is one of those utilities I use almost daily. In my case to script a connection sequence to a hardware device via serial. (Few timed keystrokes and a string of text).

Ubuntu 20.04 removed Kermit, so I packaged it up as a snap to be able to use it again: https://raymii.org/s/blog/Ive_packaged_up_CKermit_as_a_snap_...

jandeboevrie··on A tiny Docker image to serve static websites
But why would you prefer Docker like this over, for example, running thttpd directly? Saves you a lot of Ram an indirection?
jandeboevrie··on Qt 6.3
Remember kids, every week Qt changes their licensing model, every time less in favor of open source and more in favor of a second Yacht for the shareholders. I hate to recommend electron, but with the current closed direction they are going I to, better to stay away from Qt. The KDE foundation agreement is the only reason they still release Qt as open source, sadly. Qt for MCUs is completely closed for example.
