CSDude··on CPU Throttling for containerized Go applications explained
I feel like there is a great potential to be explored here by playing with cgroups dynamically, not in a machine learning way but allowing bursts, finding good ratios request/limit to pick up (1s/10s or 0.1s/1s ?) and voluntarily kicking out (eviction) stateless workloads.

I even pursued my PhD on it until I quit (unrelated reasons). There was a startup doing this with ML but forgot their name.

CSDude··on Independent directors of 23andMe resign from board
did you have access to customer data
CSDude··on Twenty, a modern CRM alternative to Salesforce
Same for all Jira "alternatives". It's so easy to make a kanban & sprint board. But that's not what's important.
CSDude··on I am sick of LeetCode-style interviews
I agree it's not a great way but a good compromise. When you think of Leetcode you can be thinking of hard questions. But this is not the case for many of us.

Not all of us get a chance to work with a great candidate pool. So, whenever someone fails to provide a solution given an integer list, find the pairs that sum is equal to N, I don't care how many technologies they have worked with or how well they can talk about it, I don't feel comfortable working with them.

CSDude··on Windows Recall sounds like a privacy nightmare
I have been using Rewind.ai on macOS and this company got a crazy investment. Many people like the idea. Many just don't trust Microsoft.
CSDude··on VMware Fusion Pro: Now available free for personal use
It's almost impossible to create an account with all of the delays. Even then, I got into a loop in "Trade Compliance Verification" which does not proceed.
CSDude··on Flightradar24's new GPS jamming map
When I wait for relatives/friends to land in Turkey, I always get a mini heart attack because either plane drifts like Fast and Furious or disappears completely from map and ask myself, is this real this time? Sometimes I have nightmares about it, I see the planes just falling down from the sky spontaneously because of the stress that GPS jamming induced to me over the years.
CSDude··on LineageOS is currently installed on 1.5M Android devices
It covers a lot of Samsung and Xiaomi devices, where I live. But you can find other ROMs in xda-developers very easily.
CSDude··on LineageOS is currently installed on 1.5M Android devices
Lineage (as I known it as CyanogenMod) saved a lot of old phones for my family instead of going to dumpster. I have a Samsung tablet that has no way of getting latest certificates to go into internet.
CSDude··on Show HN: Open-source x64 and Arm GitHub runners
Does not matter - pipeline needs to be trusted because it has access to sensitive resources for deployment tasks, can fake test results etc.
CSDude··on Show HN: Open-source x64 and Arm GitHub runners
We've been running Ubicloud for a while at Resmo. It is indeed 10x cheaper. We upped our instance sizes by 2x for a slightly more performance but it's still 5x cheaper.

The main reason is their platform is hosted on Hetzner dedicated instances.

CSDude··on Multi-database support in DuckDB
I'd also love to write storage plugins with Go or Rust, not just C++
CSDude··on Turkey hikes interest rate again to 45% after inflation nears 65%
Reall inflation is much higher than 65%. A lunch takes 250 TL which we used to 100-120 TL almost 1 year ago.
CSDude··on AWS cancels serverless Postgres service that scales to zero
Serverless V2 is also shit. The minimal one equivalent ACU to a regular instance has lots of latency spikes and much slower than a t3 instance.

We also tried serverless Redis. We have a tiny machine at %10 CPU utilization, but sustained queries. It costs 20x more. We were very afraid of the result we just ran it for an hour to get an idea.

Serverless, pay per use sounds only good if you have very few or unusual traffic.

We just run a monolithic but stateless Spring Boot Application and a dedicated RDS instance with reader in stand by. Only serverless dependency is SQS because it works nice enough. This simple infra has allowed us to iterate and pivot our startup very fast as needed. We still need more customers though.

CSDude··on Plane got to top spot in project management on GitHub in less than a year
I meant the UI and the functionality, all the sidebars left and right are a copy of Linear's features.
CSDude··on Plane got to top spot in project management on GitHub in less than a year
I'm all for open source task trackers, but the UI in most parts is a rip off of Linear.
CSDude··on Tesla Whistleblower – 'Autopilot' System Not Safe Enough for Public Roads
I live in Turkey and my Model Y can't keep up with slightly unusual/high radius turns. The only way I use autopilot is long highways with less traffic. Otherwise trying to guess if it'll work correctly is more tiresome on my spine, brain and heart than actual driving.
CSDude··on eBPF-based auto-instrumentation outperforms manual instrumentation
Somewhat related, I mainly code in Kotlin. Adding open telemetry was just adding agent to command line args (usual Java/JVM magic most people don't like). Then I had a project in Go and I got so tired of all the steps it took (setup and ensuring each context is instrumented) and just gave up. We still add our manual instrumentation for customization, but auto-instrumentation made adoption much easier in the day 0.
CSDude··on Show HN: Atlassian Design for Bootstrap v5
Atlassian already has its own UI kit. It's in React but there is also a CSS version.

CSDude··on OnlyOffice: Free open source office suite with business productivity tools
I don't know, let me use my Cisco switch to browse internet which was disassembled at FBI.
CSDude··on Goodbye integers, hello UUIDv7
Most of our lives as boring SaaS etc. software developer will not be near as exciting as this, but of course you may never know.

I parsed the EV chargers APIs where I live (using Frida in Android) and one of the fields returned the daily revenue and profit.

CSDude··on DJI Mini 4 Pro
I had the original mini with at most 800m range in CE regulations in the middle of nowhere. Pretty dissappointing. I lost it to the sea anyways.
CSDude··on DJI Mini 4 Pro
I had the original Mini and it drifted away to the sea. I launched it from my home which was already in a steep location. RIP I'll never buy a light drone again.
CSDude··on Plex to block all servers hosted at Hetzner
In %99 of cases these data are resovled from the filename in my use case.
CSDude··on Plex to block all servers hosted at Hetzner
If you have an Apple TV, use https://firecore.com/infuse.

To be fair, it's not exactly the same as Plex. But it covers many of my use cases;

- Organizes your media on the fly

- Does not do useless transcoding (it was a huge issue back in ~ 2016 for Plex).

- Can directly connect to SMB shares, my Synology NAS.

- Does not require anything running on the server, so it does not matter your NAS has a decade old MIPS CPU.

- List files from multiple cloud providers.

- Can also sync with Trakt if you want to keep track of what you watch.

CSDude··on Google Chrome just rolled out a new way to track you and serve ads
Does anyone know the MDM settings to disable it for everyone in our org? I could not find here: https://chromeenterprise.google/policies/#
CSDude··on Android 14 blocks all modification of system certificates, even as root?
HTTP Toolkit was very helpful for me to extract hidden APIs from crappy EV charging apps in Turkey, combined with Frida to prevent SSL pinning and root detection.

Then I realized, the reason they try to hide is maybe those APIs are abomination /s

CSDude··on Login to any user account using other Facebook app access token (2015)
We set a huge disclaimer on previous company with almost 100 items for the things that are not valid for a bug report. The quality of reports received is subpar, but it's still best quality of sources for finding out vulnerabilities. Though it's expensive for me for now.
CSDude··on I chose the ThinkPad Z13 Gen1 as my Linux laptop
That looks like a great ThinkPad. Had an E14 Gen3 which was great and I loved it dearly, but panel was %75 SRGB (imagine most colors are wrong) and practically invisible outside. Although it'd be very easy to replace, finding spare parts was very hard here so I sold it. Z13/32gb/1tb is around $2000 here where I live, and M2 14" 32gb/1tb is $3500.

Man, I miss my Arch Linux sometimes.

CSDude··on OpenTelemetry in 2023
We just left ours running for months in a Docker container. The volume is external, we just replace container image with new one, it takes 5 seconds to update, and spans are treated ephemeral. We store only 7d of data. We could use S3 but we have no use for that data in the long run.

To be fair, we wanted to get experience on ClickHouse and it's a special database need special attention to details on both ops and schema design.
