pezh0re··on SQLite in Production: Lessons from Running a Store on a Single File
Not hard at all - geerlingguy has a great Ansible role and there are a metric crapton of guides pre-AI/2022 that cover gardening.
pezh0re··on Review: Beepy a Palm-Sized Linux Hacking Playground
I wonder if you could build on Jeff Geerling's work: https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2022/using-4g-lte-wireless...
pezh0re··on Terraform best practices for reliability at any scale
This is a great read, but I always seem to run into cases where I need to define something like a security group and then reference it when deploying ec2 instances. I'd love to decouple to reduce my plan time, but I haven't figured a way out as of yet.

To be fair, I haven't used terraform -chdir yet.

pezh0re··on Gimp Fork Glimpse on Hiatus
I didn't catch this when it was announced earlier this week - I can't say I'm surprised given COVID's effect on things.
pezh0re··on Ask HN: What Technologies to Learn in 2020?
The concept is easy to grasp, but for me the challenge is figuring out which testing framework/suite is best for the language I'm dealing with (and then learning the intricacies of how the tooling works).
pezh0re··on Ask HN: What Technologies to Learn in 2020?
Not just Terraform, but the rest of the Hashicorp suite is powerful and relatively easy to pick up. At the tail end of last year I taught myself Terraform and I'm looking at Vault next.
pezh0re··on Introducing Project Bonneville
Although this seems to be in the beginning stages, I'll be really interested in seeing how they handle the management aspect of Docker. How will networking play out between containers on a single host? Multiple Hosts? The idea of enabling vMotion for individual containers is also pretty interesting. Networking between containers seems like a decent fit for NSX.

This also addresses my main complain about docker in the enterprise - most all docker hosts are VMs themselves, and running docker on a VM host that is running on a hypervisor seems a bit redundant. This could provide all the benefits of containers while removing the middle man (e.g. CoreOs/Ubuntu/whatever).

pezh0re··on Looking Forward: Support for Secure Shell
Enterprise is understandable - businesses may prefer not to use Pro. I don't believe that you can count Windows 10 Mobile/Mobile Enterprise against the count as they are merely part of Microsoft's effort to combine all their platforms under one operating system.
pezh0re··on Pixie – A network of things
I really like the idea of having an independent mesh network for all my devices/things to track - and at least during pre-orders it seems like a less expensive alternative to other bluetooth tracking devices. The Verge did a write up on Pixie with more details [1].

pezh0re··on The loneliest plant in the world (2011)
I can't imagine it was dumb luck that the drunk driver hit that tree, I'm guessing there was a bet/challenge involved.
pezh0re··on My First Keyboard Build
I'm not opposed to doing some soldering - I'm mostly interested in the entry price. The lack of arrow keys concerns me a bit (but I suppose I could use their layouts to account for that). I'll give those keyboards a look though, thanks!
pezh0re··on My First Keyboard Build
Hrm, that looks pretty neat, but as someone completely new to mechanical keyboards, I wonder if it would be a good starter.
pezh0re··on The Front Lines of Ferguson
Last night's atmosphere stood in stark contrast to the evening prior. I think it's due almost entirely to how the state troopers interacted with the crowds. They were in their normal, non-body armor uniforms. They walked among the crowd, exchanged laughs, and generally set the mood at ease. By respecting the protesters, the tensions were lessened - the situation, deescalated. At the same time, the riot ready police were a mile away, ready to take action if required.

Compare that to police in full armor, with tactical weapons trained at the crowd, perched atop armored vehicles... It's no surprise to me that things got so far out of hand on Wednesday, but were completely different on Thursday.

pezh0re··on Show HN: Hidnchat - Send anonymous mails, receive replies
Is it only for one exchange (e.g. message sent and reply)? Also, the background was a bit distracting - but it's an interesting concept.
pezh0re··on Backblaze is building a 270 TB storage pod
I was always a fan of Backblaze sharing details about how they built out their storage - it made me feel that if I wanted to, I could also build a redundant/massive storage array.
pezh0re··on Apple Reports First Quarter Results
Or officially support the OS on older models, but leverage new hardware technology so much that it crawls on the oldest phones/tablets.
pezh0re··on Apple Reports First Quarter Results
I don't know... Unless people have specifically been avoiding smart phones/tablets in the expectation that eventually Apple products would become available - I would expect most of them already have devices that are as good, if not better than the iPad/iPhone.
pezh0re··on Apple Reports First Quarter Results
Yes, because the ~6 Million iPhones that didn't get bought were because people were freaked out by the NSA. I think it's more likely because the general public weren't that thrilled with where iOS and the iPhone 5C went.
pezh0re··on Apple Reports First Quarter Results
They've been following on more than a few things already - notifications, multi-tasking, etc.
pezh0re··on WiTrack – Through-Wall 3D Tracking Using Body Radio Reflections
Time to switch all your wireless devices to 802.11a to prevent signal leakage outside your home.
pezh0re··on Vagrant 1.4
As someone who uses Vagrant for a ton of puppet testing, the part about the Windows guests in 1.5 made me incredibly happy.
pezh0re··on Ask HN: Should Communications Laundering be a crime?
It's not just the 4th that alludes to privacy. The 3rd (quartering soldiers) infers a privacy of home, the 5th could be construed as privacy of personal information (specifically information that could be incriminating).

There's a ton more information here: http://law2.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/conlaw/rightof...

pezh0re··on Jury: Newegg infringes Spangenberg patent, must pay $2.3 million
It's cases like this that make me really miss Groklaw.
pezh0re··on Ask HN: Looking for a decent pair of wireless headphones
I don't personally use wireless headphones - instead I've opted for a set of cans with about a 6ft cable that give me more range of motion. I would check out the head-fi forums for recommendations (http://www.head-fi.org/) - they have some of the best/in-depth reviews out there.
pezh0re··on Hackpad
I believe he's referring to the more sports-centric definition - people who work hard and fast to get things done.
pezh0re··on Jury finds protester not guilty in chalk-vandalism case
Assuming your case is one that actually goes to trial as opposed to the tons that settle.
pezh0re··on Girl buys water, spends night in jail
It sounds like something else is at play here. You wouldn't typically send a full assault team to grab underage drinkers.

If you were looking for a known fugitive/dangerous suspect that happens to frequent a grocery store for beer on the other hand...

pezh0re··on Girl buys water, spends night in jail
I agree - the chances of a teenage girl packing heat is probably small, but it's those small chances that can get you seriously injured.

According to this (admittedly outdated) research paper [1], the high-end estimate of traffic stops resulting in the homicide of the police officer is 1:20.1 Million. This doesn't really sound like a traditional traffic stop - more like a sting (something that I couldn't readily find data for).

pezh0re··on Girl buys water, spends night in jail
Yep, the accessory setting (key turned on click forward) should do the trick - providing power for windows/radio etc.

Upon further consideration, I wonder if she had a push-button starter. Having never driven a key-less car before, how the heck does the accessory setting work (if at all)?

Don't forget, you can enlist in a military branch at 18 - so its conceivable you could fight and die for your country before being able to legally enjoy a cold pint at the local pub.
