Check out what I do at https://github.com/jbergstroem.
[ my public key: https://keybase.io/jbergstroem; my proof: https://keybase.io/jbergstroem/sigs/xNH99zh5DSCLJR_hrHtShFLmo8RcAbg79Hs506_5KdI ]
So, without any means to control it myself I'm now in the mercy of fastmail support unless I set up my own postfix/dovecot in the meantime. I guess it goes both ways.
There's an active fork here (which I also use on my remaining nginx instances) https://github.com/eustas/ngx_brotli
Not sure how how wide their product will spread though..
[disclaimer: I own shares in the company]
In a recent project, a client saturated their wire as a result of just this.
(note: I understand that linking to other software might come off as offensive, but I truly feel there is a place for both. VLC is pretty much irreplaceable for many, many things)
If you're into go, it's not too hard to get very small (<5mb) shippables by statically compiling against musl and using upx. Here's a somewhat scrubbed Dockerfile for a gRPC/rest service I use at work: https://gist.github.com/jbergstroem/680cb7db6f90319dcd7666f3...
I like the separation between having full freedom in a feature branch without the extra hassle of having to consider timing (active repos usually suffers from this) or typo:ing in commit metadata.
Source: `docker pull jbergstroem/mariadb-alpine`
edit: docker should really open the doors for a cleanup/shutdown phase. There's both entrypoint and cmd but not a "exit" command.
Let the curious create and share their creation with the world.
At the same time, they seem more disconnected to users than ever. In comments below/above you can witness the testament of their support. In their "feature request" threads you can see tens of thousands of (plex pass) users voting for something they feel important and have felt so for years (when the issue was opened) with no parseable reply. Put simply, their priorities (read: release/feature strategy) seems to be based on marketing impact.
I admire them for their insight into market as well as a lot of technology made look simple; like ssl for everyone[1] and a "just works" media scanner. It's just hard to see the forest these days.
