I am not the author and haven't had time to fully review the spreadsheet they provided.

After an initial look I think he is referring not to the kubernetes specific networking support but the GCP networking.

From the spreadsheet alone GKE has support for cross region load balancers. The author also points out cross region networking.

I don't know the exact advantage the author sees with cross region load balancers since you can only deploy a GKE cluster to a single given region. The GCP LB's are really nice though in that traffic enters Google's network at the closest location to the user and then travel within Google's network, which is wicked fast.

I have not played around with federated clusters in multiple zones so don't know how that would play out either.

They may also just be referring to just general networking from the providers. With the first two points they at least make mention in the spreadsheet of it though.

tl;dr: not sure what the author meant but here here is some food for thought on it.

Any chance you can suggest a good alternative?

For me its important that it is separate from GitHub for a few reasons:

- having a Jira project means we can easily move issues between projects. This is especially useful for when our support team notices an issue, submits a ticket to our "support ingest" project, and then it can get routed to the correct actual project on the backend. Or when an issue gets misdiagnosed we can move it between projects while keeping a single issue and all the history of it.

- having more complex workflows that allow you to force issues to go through specific steps, trigger webhooks, good fun stuff like that

I really would love a good alternative. Jira has just gotten slower and slower, their UX has gotten worse, and I really would like a good alternative.

However Jira has solid integrations into a lot of places and does a lot of complicated things.

Suggestions?

Hey, quick question (and maybe this is just a legacy from before open source):

From[1]: "If you do not wish to pay for code intelligence, you can disable language servers in the Code intelligence section of the site admin area."

The pricing page however says that feature is included in the free version. It just doesn't seem to make sense to me.

[1] https://about.sourcegraph.com/docs/code-intelligence/install

That last link is exactly what I needed! Thank you very much for all the information and help. :)

Hey, couple questions for you:

- We are a pretty small shop, only 3 developers, and looking at Sourcegraph for the first time. We have a full Kubernetes cluster for running some of our production applications and would be happy to run this there. The Sourcegraph site lists a Quickstart instructions and instructions for Data Center. I am unsure what exactly the difference between them is.

- The Docker image for sourcegraph/server (used in your Quickstart instructions) doesn't have a Dockerfile listed anywhere. Is that available somewhere?

- The Quickstart instructions also seem to instruct mounting the Docker socket into the container. I haven't seen anything that explains why that is required.

Basically wondering which version I should be looking to deploy for our small team.

Whats new here? Was this just not on GitHub before or is there some big change?

The karman line, the generally agreed upon edge of space, is at 100km. This capsule apparently reached 118km.

It definitely didn't reach orbit and it isn't designed to be in space for long, but I wouldn't say it won't ever go to space.

Can anyone give an example of what this would be useful for? I don't really understand its use case and the one sort of example in an image, of creating a k8s namespace and deployment, is covered by our CI/CD system. If this is meant to replace that and be part of the CI/CD I don't see anything talking about how to trigger the pipelines.

I feel like I am missing a small but critical piece to understand how this should be used and where.

Thanks for the info! :)

Yeah, $80 for gig internet... I wish :(

He basically does detail monthly costs. You're implying it costs him about $833 a month to run.

His gig internet is $80 a month: https://www.centurylink.com/fiber/plans-and-pricing/seattle-...

His wifi backup internet is $40: http://www.gigabitseattle.com/residential-services

He specifically states the setup draws 220 watts at idle and that his electricity costs $0.0974/kWh. So 22024/10000.0974 = 0.514272 per day, or about $15.40 a month at idle.

So around $135 a month.

This guy doesn't appear to be a Twitch streamer. Aside from his rack having stickers for Go, Kubernetes, GitHub, and more, his Twitter description doesn't say anything about that.

If you're asking about in general would this be a good thing for a Twitch streamer... then I would say no. Mostly because most Twitch streamers are not going to know how to maintain something like this and they don't need all the servers.

If someone not so technical, Twitch streamers included, needed the redundant internet I would recommend something more along the lines of two ISPs like this guy (specifically over two technologies if possible: fiber and wifi, but that comes down to bandwidth requirements) but instead of going into multiple switches and having 3 servers running with VMs moving around just plug the two ISPs into something like the Unifi Security Gateway (USG) or USG Pro.

My understanding of Google Fiber is that they ran into to many headaches from existing telecom companies while trying to expand their fiber infrastructure. Instead of continuing to fight such an uphill battle they are trying to make a wireless approach work.

I haven't heard much recently from their more standard wireless attempts (other than Loom being used in Puerto Rico) but they did invest (jointly with Fidelity) $1 billion into SpaceX. The assumption is the SpaceX investments are specifically to support the SpaceX Starlink constellation which if successful could bring wireless internet to pretty much all of the planet.

I think the key difference is the fail fast policy that was being referred to. Waymo has taken a much slower approach than Uber.

2: can you source that please? Only time I ever heard of that was when people thought the bit about a movie coming out was an ad. They said it wasn't a paid thing and was given to people that they thought would enjoy the movie. Personally that's what I want to hear when I ask my home about my day. A reminder that a movie I am interested in is coming out today? Thanks for the reminder!

3: if your referring to the mini that a journalist got and found to be constantly recording small snippets of audio, I thought Google handled that really well. They had someone at his house to collect it the same day I think, and within days disabled the feature across the board even though only a small number of devices had the flaw.

May I ask why you wouldn't recommend it to teams that have to manage it themselves? I haven't used it myself but my team is currently looking at using it internally. The first project will be integrating it into our log pipeline between nodes and our logstash instances.

CCP Games holds an event every year in Iceland called Fanfest where they invite players for EVE Online out to hangout with devs, drink, party, learn about upcoming EVE Online changes, etc.

I bring this up because most years they do something crazy for one of the nights. Back in 2011 they did a chessboxing match.

Here was there promo/announcement video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaBWBmYfqVQ

And the actual match: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJy2kIWtyvQ

It was pretty crazy. It's one thing to know whats going to happen, but when blood actually started being drawn it just went to a whole new level.

Ah sorry, on mobile and I misread. Regions for Google are physical different locations. Zones are separate partions of a given region with their own power, networking, etc. I believe.

https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/regions-zones/

Google themselves have a nice one: https://cloud.google.com/about/locations/

Sort of. They did take a deposit but that had been based on the assumption that the Falcon Heavy would do the flight with a Crew Dragon. Those plans have been cancelled as SpaceX no longer plans to use the FH for human flights to the moon (or anywhere, even orbit).

Instead they plan on using the BFR for that. I don't know what happens with that deposit that was made. Chances are it rolls over into getting whoever it was a flight on the BFR to the moon.

An awesome and surprising answer to a question I didn't know I had... Thanks for sharing that!

Also a fan of Keybase. Overall it is easy to use, but their clients could defiantly use some polish though. The mobile client especially can get annoying since the push notifications don't get grouped together.

Any reason you haven't tried visual studio code?

Is there a reason you cannot mount it on the wall just above the bookshelf? One of the things I really like about the Unifi gear is how just small and inconspicuous it is. It really helped sell it when I suggested it to my mom and other family members. Mounted most of the APs for them on the ceilings, but a few of them are wall mounted as well. The ceiling ones look nicer than any smoke detecter I have ever seen.

So I actually really like the UniFi gear for that when compared to some crazy Linksys gamer router that just looks... so over done.

Got into the Ubiquiti gear a while ago and definitely no regrets! Not a network guy myself and so really appreciate the controller just making it easy to mange things. I have myself, my mom's and several other family members properties all managed by one cloud controller. Things just work, and when for some reason they don't I have a fairly easy way of figuring out whats wrong and fixing it remotely. So very happy with their products.

The Chromecast Audio allows me to plug it into any standard stereo. Bang for the buck I can get much better speakers for the dollar when buying just normal speakers instead of "smart" speakers. I then plug the Chromecast Audio into it and get the same ability to Cast to it, and include it into groups. The ability to add it to Cast groups is one of the key reasons I like it over just a Bluetooth connection.

So to sum up: * Bang for the buck get better audio quality * Still get all of the same Cast features (WiFi casting, group casting, etc.)

Hope that helps! :)

Interesting. I have 2 Google Homes (1 regular and 1 mini), a Chromecast and a Chromecast Audio, and a Pixel 2. I haven't noticed any particular network issues.

My network is all Ubiquiti gear. A USG, switch, and AP AC Lite. I have the private WiFi on the same network as my desktop PC and Steam Link. My home lab is on separate VLANs. Other then that its a pretty default configuration.

Not home right now but when I get home I shall look into it a bit more. Curious if whatever update thats causing this hasn't rolled out to Canada or if the Unifi products are handling it better/some special way.

Any chance notifications on Android will be grouped anytime soon? I had to uninstall the app as it just got to crazy showing all the notifications for messages.

They spend everything they earn, plus more, on R&D. The whole goal of SpaceX is to get to Mars. No one else would take them there so they want to build spaceships and rockets that will. To fund that they build the Dragon 9 and are working on their satellite internet constellation. Everything SpaceX does is meant to fund getting to Mars. So they could potentially be cash positive, but Mars.

Yea, you're looking for a simple VM. A cheap Digital Ocean droplet would be perfect. They are cheap, reliable, and incredibly simple to launch. DO has a nice few offerings you can layer in over time if needed but getting that single VM up and running is still incredibly easy and fast.

I do highly recommend checking them out.
