smashed··on In Praise of PostgreSQL
> PostgreSQL is released under the PostgreSQL License, a liberal Open Source license, similar to the BSD or MIT licenses.

smashed··on We don’t use Kubernetes
To others wondering what this company does:

> Ably is a Pub/Sub messaging platform that companies can use to develop realtime features in their products.

At this time, https://status.ably.com/ is reporting all green.

Althought their entire website is returning 500 errors, including the blog.

It is very hard not to point the irony of the situation.

In general I would not be so critic, but this is a company claiming to run highly available, mission critical distributed computing systems. Yet, they publish a popular blog article and it brings down their enire web presence?

smashed··on Daniel Stenberg: curl doesn't qualify for TravisCI free tier
Ugh. Concourse is interesting for sure, but really hard to get a hang for. I would be careful who I recommend it to.

I don't like to speak in negatives so I won't elaborate, but basically I've had a very hard time using it and it made work miserable. Besides the shiny UI, there was literally nothing to make a devops team's work easier. Simply accessing a failed job log output was hard.

I prefer gitlab-ci because I already use gitlab and the integration is nice. For a pure CI system I would use drone.io if I was not already using gitlab.

smashed··on Ignoring Docker updates is a paid feature now?
Shout out to the docker.io debian/Ubuntu package maintainers, which is what I use on all systems I manage.

After being burnt badly by the "official" docker auto-updates breaking stuff a few times, I've had enough and seeked a better solution. Turns out it was already there, no 3rd party package repos required.

Linux distros package managers go to very great length not to break users' work environments. They keep things working, secure and stable, and I am very grateful for it.

smashed··on Ubiquiti all but confirms breach response iniquity
There is no evidence that this did not also happen.
smashed··on Nzyme v1.0.0: Free and Open WiFi Defense System
I'm impressed! I've been working in this space but it's the first time I hear about nzyme.

Our project is a security centric router/firewall/wifi AP with cloud management.

We do have a rogue wifi monitoring feature, but your approach and execution seems so miles ahead from what we're doing that I'm highly tempted to scrap it and integrate nzyme instead.

I am thinking that we could remotely configure/dedicate some radios to an nzyme process embedded in our firmware.

We just had the go ahead from our main sponsor to fully open-source our project so I'll be in touch!

smashed··on Update on Async Rendering
Thanks for the detailed explanation. Makes sense and I will keep an eye on the upcoming suspense API.
smashed··on Update on Async Rendering
> To be clear: today in React there is no way to asynchronously fetch data on the server. It’s just not supported

What we've done for the past few years is trigger async fetches in componentWillMount on the server and perform multiple renderToString.

This requires some instrumentation so you can monitor that all the data has loaded and your tree is fully rendered.

Removing componentWillMount will force us to rewrite everything to the suspense API. I hope that transition won't cause too many headaches.

smashed··on PAAS Comparison – Dokku vs. Flynn vs. Deis vs. Kubernetes vs. Docker Swarm
But to be fair, Pivotal Cloud Foundry is so expensive it's not even in the same league as the others and I can totally understand why the article just ignored it altogether.
smashed··on Autodraw – Fast Drawing for Everyone
I concur.

Drew a face and it proposes ovens and random jitters as closest matches???

smashed··on Zi2zi: Master Chinese Calligraphy with Conditional Adversarial Networks
Just a heads-up because some other people might tell you: In my locale, Zizi means penis (fr-CA)

smashed··on GIMP developer looking for funding
Switching to Qt would be a bit ironic. Isn't Gimp the origin of GTK, aka the Gimp Tool Kit?
smashed··on Local Django on Kubernetes with Minikube
- Scalability. Even if it is true the db layer will probably be the bottleneck in your typical django app, it is nice to have a scaling strategy at every layer.

- Redundancy. Platforms like k8s and other PaaS can distribute instances of the same apps to multiple hosts / availability zones.

- Zero downtime deployment. Spin up the new version in a container, have both previous and new version running concurrently, then start routing traffic to the new app.

- Standardization. Settling on a container type to run all your apps makes for great dev and ops relationships.

- Immutable code. Know exactly which version is running in production and be confident it can't be changed manually.

smashed··on AWS announces new region in Canada
Makes sense, thanks for correcting me.

According to [1] it seems there are 2 az.

smashed··on Incident Report: Inadvertent Private Repository Disclosure
But the overwhelming majority of requests failed with errors. The happy-path was not tested either.
smashed··on Django React/Redux Base Project
One solution is to store the token in localStorage, which supports events.

You can listen for localStorage changes in all your tabs. When it changes, force a page reload or similar.

Edit: typos

smashed··on Twitter Plans Hundreds More Job Cuts as Soon as This Week
And how many people do you need to monetize Twitter?
smashed··on PurpleJS – An alternative to Node.js for Java projects
How does this relate to Nashorn?

With something like Avatar-JS [1] you can even run some NodeJS apps without modifications on the JVM.

smashed··on It's time to reconsider going on-prem
As a devops engineer working with CF daily, I definitely know where my apps are running, and that moving an app from cloud to cloud or to on-prem is not 'seamless'.

I have moved dockerized apps to public cloud CF to on-prem CF. It all worked because the apps where stateless to begin with. Pivotal appropriating all the merit of easy migration of stateless apps is dishonest at best.

Stateless apps are easy to move. They can be moved from CF to Kubernetes to ECS to Heroku.

Now, let's talk about the state, because that's where the real problem and the lock-in might be?

smashed··on New lower Azure pricing
Yes, Azure load balancers are free compared to aws's elbs ~20$ charge.

aws elb support http and https termination, and can even provide free SSL certs. Azure's is tcp/udp only.

And the new aws Application load balancers offer even more features.

So it depends on your use-case.

smashed··on Quebec seeks to block access to non-government online gambling sites
I believe many gambling websites are hosted within mohawk territory inside the Québec province. Kanhawake Gaming Commission is operating a datacenter on the reserve from what I understand.. Correct me if I'm wrong.
smashed··on No-Cost RHEL Developer Subscription Now Available
This almost looks like RH catching up to MS. Sad.
smashed··on WeKan: Open-Source Meteor Kanban
Awesome work. Contrats to all the team involved.
smashed··on Blockchain Challenge by Bank of England
Give us your best Blockchain based idea and a working proof of concept and "win" a visit to the bank and a 6 week internship (if you are eligible). Is it me or that does not sound really great?
