robxu9on AWS Cloud Control API, a Uniform API to Access AWS and Third-Party Services

There's Smithy, which tries to help design API operations around a resource in a CRUDL-like fashion - I think that's what you're getting at? https://awslabs.github.io/smithy/

robxu9on Grommunio an open source Exchange replacement

There's also SOGo (https://www.sogo.nu/), which I'd be interested to see how Grommunio stacks up against that. SOGo has been pretty reliable for my personal deployments.

robxu9on Illinois Is the First State to Have High Schools Teach News Literacy

I also took News Literacy at Stony Brook in 2013. I think that was one of the more popular classes for students by then, especially since it allowed students to choose which gen ed humanities requirement (out of two) to satisfy that was otherwise a bit tedious to get.

Most people I know who went into the course just for credits came out with a greater appreciation for the course in general.

robxu9on Monitoring Go Applications with Monit

I see that you created an init script, but then you called systemctl. Any reason not to use systemd units?

robxu9on Ask HN: Are HN servers overloaded?

robxu9on Net Neutrality Day of Action: Help Preserve the Open Internet

Amazon does have a Net Neutrality link on their front page - on the right sidebar for me at least.

That being said, it all just kind of feels underwhelming.

robxu9on LCFS speeds up docker build by making docker commit a constant time operation

It looks pretty great - I'll definitely try it out when I have a chance!

I noticed that you mentioned the performance penalty using a file - how severe was the penalty for it?

Also, you mention that you used a single SATA disk to compare. What kind of disk was it? (SSD, HDD, other..?)

robxu9on Ask HN: Is S3 down?

New update:

"Update at 11:35 AM PST: We have now repaired the ability to update the service health dashboard. The service updates are below. We continue to experience high error rates with S3 in US-EAST-1, which is impacting various AWS services. We are working hard at repairing S3, believe we understand root cause, and are working on implementing what we believe will remediate the issue."

robxu9on Chrome Widevine DRM can no longer be disabled

TIL that Widevine DRM is the reason my HDMI monitor flashes whenever I start or stop viewing something on Netflix or Amazon Video.

Welp.
