pachico··on Nginx 1.25.0: experimental HTTP/3 support
Regarding metrics from logs, you might agree that it's now an overkill.
pachico··on Nginx 1.25.0: experimental HTTP/3 support
Because I use as a gateway for fastcgi and as TLS initiator, mostly. Nginx doesn't allow you to have distinct metrics for both use cases, which is far from ideal.

My tests in controlled environments show that caddy is absolutely fine for my workload and has perks that make my life easier. Some have been mentioned in this thread already.

Metrics is a must have in our case as we have many things to manage, few people to maintain things and alerts are the only way to grow. For alerts you need metrics.

pachico··on Nginx 1.25.0: experimental HTTP/3 support
I just wish Nginx had the good will to include decent metrics. The built-in stubs are far from enough.

It's the main reason why I'm thinking about migrating everything to Caddy.

pachico··on Ask HN: Am I the only one seeing GitHub all messed up in mobile?
Am I too paranoid to think they did this to force people to install their app?
pachico··on I Block Ads
Damn, I was reading this hoping it was the page of the ultimate browser/mobile app or extension...

How did we get so far without having all this by default?

pachico··on TOML: Tom's Obvious Minimal Language
My main issue with TOML is precisely described in the homepage example:

[servers]

[servers.alpha]

is error prone. An sub heading shouldn't need to know about its parent, much less to have to copy it entirely.

pachico··on A $200 mini-laptop with a Intel 8088 chip and 640KB
I think I will always start my sentences with "As a nerd of a certain age," now. It will give so much more context to all my conversations :)
pachico··on Add opt-in transparent telemetry to Go toolchain
In general, I have no objections to well explained opt-in anything.
pachico··on The World Atlas of Languages
Spanish Catalans will not be pleased by reading that Catalan is only mentioned to be spoken in Andorra.

pachico··on Mullvad Leta (Search Engine)
502 bad gateway, so far
pachico··on The Wrong Abstraction (2016)
I agree 100%, but here's a plot twist:

- Don't fall in the trap of early abstraction...

- and abstracting one single use case is very hard, if not impossible...

- but you are writing your app in Go and interfaces are the only way to properly test your stuff...

- The end.

pachico··on Seinfeld Transcripts
This looks like gold for a project that would create scripts via LLM
pachico··on Tell HN: We should start to add “ai.txt” as we do for “robots.txt”
Unrelated but "offensive" is not necessarily bad.

We should accept that people can get offended by anything and, because of this, just demote the concept.

pachico··on Ten Thousand Ways to Use Chopsticks
Please don't get this the wrong way as it's an admission and confession of ethnocentrism: I use chopsticks quite fluently, I like to think, but I still cannot understand why people aren't switching to forks once they try them out for the first time :)
pachico··on Farewell to the Era of Cheap EC2 Spot Instances
They do as they might be the reasons why you can use spots in the first place
pachico··on One line of code that did cost $8k
I think this post backfired at the writer. While trying to provide transparency over a problem (we all screw up) it uncovered what I think it's a horrible idea.

The issue is not the bug anymore but the update process.

These comments in HN might provide much more insights than the bug itself.

pachico··on One line of code that did cost $8k
Maybe this will encourage developers to make smaller applications too.
pachico··on Farewell to the Era of Cheap EC2 Spot Instances
The article fails to recommend to use re-balancing feature that allows you to run spots in production without worrying too much.

It doesn't mention either that price-capacity-optimized allocation strategy.

If you want to run spots in production, please read about three two. There is no major drama if you apply them.

pachico··on Children aged 2-6 successfully trained to acquire absolute pitch (2012)
Aged 2-6?

Am I the only one thinking "leave them kids alone!"?

pachico··on I wrote a tool in Go to write Sequence Diagrams in Go
I use PlantUML every single day. It can be embedded in Markdown docs and even Confluence (which I hate but I'm forced to use).

Diagram as Code is simply awesome. My only issue is how ugly it looks, even using themes.

I wish an application managed to be a drop in replacement that looked like it wasn't drawn in MS Paint in 1996.

pachico··on I can't recommend serious use of an all-in-one local Grafana Loki setup
I understand. For us, Loki locally is just to provide parity for test environments.

However, I would have used vector anyway locally as I prefer to have a centralised collector.

pachico··on I can't recommend serious use of an all-in-one local Grafana Loki setup
So far, no problems using Vector to ship logs to Grafana Cloud (Loki).
pachico··on Every web search result in Brave Search is now served by our own index
Just the fastest and most ergonomic browser I've tried.

I wish Firefox was like Brave, to be honest. Until that happens, I'll stick to Brave for both mobile and desktop.

pachico··on Datomic is Free
You seem to describe the Event Source paradigm rather than a database :)
pachico··on Fox News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways
Have agreed... Let's say that one side agreed more than the other to fire the former...
pachico··on Tell HN: ChatGPT is fantastic for finding and solving issues in logs
I have no idea.

I guess it will be something like guaranteed availability and privacy options. I'm speculating.

pachico··on Tell HN: ChatGPT is fantastic for finding and solving issues in logs
Premium has not be released yet.
pachico··on Tell HN: ChatGPT is fantastic for finding and solving issues in logs
Phind.com is so much better.

I just want to pay for the service in exchange of ensuring they won't use my data but I can't find how.

pachico··on De-Stressing Booking.com (2019)
This is terribly demagogic
pachico··on De-Stressing Booking.com (2019)
Unfortunately, this is the result of years of AB tests that prove that urgency messages increase conversion.

They don't stress customers just for the sake of having a less pleasant experience.

I work in the online accomodation business, BTW.
