kiricion Kubernetes on Oxide: How customer needs shaped our integrations

Buggy hasn't been my experience and the overhead should get smaller as storage grows. In any case, you'd get extra features such as S3, which would otherwise require running another service

kiricion Kubernetes on Oxide: How customer needs shaped our integrations

Why Mayastor and not (Rook-)Ceph?

kiricion We replaced Redis with MySQL for inventory reservations and it scaled

The default should be that every additional piece needs to be justified

kiricion LastPass notifies users of yet another data breach

Passbolt and Bitwarden can be self-hosted on top of offering the usuals pros like MFA, an API incl. integrations (e.g. https://external-secrets.io/latest/provider/passbolt/) and a better UX that does not involve syncing files between team members

kiricion Vulnerability reports are not special anymore

This screams LLM to me and I couldn't bear to read past the second paragraph.

kiricion Claude Code refuses requests or charges extra if your commits mention "OpenClaw"

How does BEAM renew my certificates, configure reverse-proxies, mount networked storage volumes to whichever node a given process is running on and handle cronjobs, disk pressure and secrets?

I sure hope it doesn't involve a bunch of shell scripts to create a new, ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden...

kiricion Dear friend, you have built a Kubernetes (2024)

How does Elixir renew my certificates, mount networked storage mounts and create a VIP and internal DNS entries for my valkey instance?

Scaling is a sidenote, that it becomes easy is a result of hoisting everything else onto one control plane and a set of coherent APIs.

kiricion Java 26 is here

tiobe is garbage and should never be given any credibility.

kiricion Rebasing in Magit

Operates on hunks, which may at times be multiple lines that cannot be split further

kiricion 175K+ publicly-exposed Ollama AI instances discovered

> I wonder if github supports regex search

/it does like this/

kiricion Luxury Yacht is a desktop app for managing Kubernetes clusters

https://github.com/sunny0826/kubecm

Tested a bunch and this is the one I stuck with, at least until I make my own. Once the entries are all right, I use the dare I say industry standard to switch between them:

kiricion BYD builds fastest car

Even if they did they still won't have caught up, because Tesla has had full self driving at the end of every year for the past 8 years.

kiricion Why haven't local-first apps become popular?

Clearly you fell for the premature measuring fallacy, everyone knows to optimize for web-scale first.

kiricion Shai-Hulud malware attack: Tinycolor and over 40 NPM packages compromised

I'm using difftastic, it cuts down a whole lot of the noise

kiricion Dotter: Dotfile manager and templater written in Rust

I was using "just git" until I realized I've started writing a whole bunch of scripts of various types to recreate ("ad-hoc, informally specified and bug-ridden...") functionality that chezmoi offers out of the box and has already tested in the field.

kiricion Performance Improvements in .NET 10

There happens to be a distro called Vanilla that is Debian-based, atomic, integrates distrobox etc.

kiricion SQLite's File Format

These were singular containers, let alone hosts.

kiricion SQLite's File Format

I've had multiple flaky issues with SQLite (e.g. non-HA Grafana) on Azure Files using NFS v4.1 leading to locked DBs. Perhaps some implementations work, I'm not gonna rely on it or advise others to do so.

kiricion Running our Docker registry on-prem with Harbor

I am currently looking into zot, what were your blockers/hiccups with it?

kiricion Sequoia backs Zed

Glad I didn't start evaluating it earlier, just a few hours down the drain.

kiricion GitHub was having issues

I am increasingly in favor of inspecting/diffing branches from MRs locally.

kiricion Cursed Knowledge

Like television and telephone, the "tele" (remote) part is the crucial and defining one. Without it, it's just metry.

kiricion Cursed Knowledge

>opt-out telemetry: go

By default, telemetry data is kept only on the local computer, but users may opt in to uploading an approved subset of telemetry data to https://telemetry.go.dev.

To opt in to uploading telemetry data to the Go team, run:

    go telemetry on

To completely disable telemetry, including local collection, run:

    go telemetry off

kiricion Kite - A modern, lightweight Kubernetes dashboard

I've been looking for something like this, will test it out shortly.

kiricion Jujutsu for busy devs

You could disable autom snapshots or use `jj split -i`, which I use almost exclusively

kiricion Programming Affordances That Invite Mistakes

>With Go's multiple return values to represent errors, they are also known to be too easy to "forget" to even look at the error value.

How? Unassigned

    foo := myFunc()    # [...] assignment mismatch: 1 variable but myFunc returns 2 values

Assigned, but not used

    foo, bar := myFunc()
    fmt.Println(foo)    # [...] declared and not used: bar

Intentionally ignored

    foo, _ := myFunc()

Ignoring is a deliberate decision and trivial to review, lint and grep for.

Except for, I suppose, shadowing a variable before checking it

    foo, bar := myFunc()
    _, bar = myFunc()
    fmt.Println(foo, bar)

Which is more of a general grievance of quite some people, but I don't think that has much to do with multiple returns - and you definitely have to look at the error to pave over it afterwards.

You can just save a step of double-checking everything by using WolframAlpha

kiricion MI5’s falsehoods in the case of neo-Nazi spy who abused women

With all due respect, there is not a single bigger evildoer over the last 300 years than the UK, they do not deserve any trust.

kiricion Japan's IC cards are weird and wonderful

I've recently returned from a trip across the country and liked everything about my (physical) ICOCA card, except that the machines used to charge it, at least the ones I've found, only accepted cash.

After charging it once with a decent balance though, I got away (almost) entirely without cash using it in combination with a virtual credit card via NFC, save for street food carts and Gachapon machines.
