Mave83··on Fired Atlassian engineer posts breakdown of every system he built
Surely not. Atlassian is horrible, slow, and nothing I would copy.
Mave83··on AI-First Company Memos
The software defined storage company croit.io announced it in their Workation in May 2023. AI is just another tool and people have to understand that it's not going away. As a company, you still need people to make use of this tool.
Mave83··on Anthropic blocks third-party use of Claude Code subscriptions
same here, will cancle the subscription and move away from this nonsense. I want to use their LLM, not their CLI.
Mave83··on Ask HN: What are people doing to get off of VMware?
croit.io, provides 24*7 enterprise support as a Proxmox Gold partner with a follow the sun support team.
Mave83··on Ask HN: What am I doing wrong Re Agentic coding
Maybe try forcing it to properly plan ahead, break it down into small steps, and ask you to approve the plan.

Of course add a CLAUDE.md, put clear development guidelines into it, let it verify the git changes he did against this guidelines and of course things like a lint.

It will go off rails, especially after compaction, but you can make it correct mistakes on it's own.

Mave83··on Are people's bosses making them use AI tools?
There is a lot for you. You can become better, get rid of writing boiler plate and can focus on the complex issues instead of side hussle.
Mave83··on Fuse is 95% cheaper and 10x faster than NFS
For AI, you want DAOS storage. It runs in userspace, you can use FUSE and it's the fastest storage on the planet when it comes to bandwidth (see io500). There are good companies supporting it like croit, and with their software it's easy to manage as well.
Mave83··on Why is homeschooling becoming fashionable?
As a German family, we opted out of the system to gain back freedom as a family. With regular school, you are bound to external schedules like vacation, when you have to get up,... We learned, that it's around 1 hour per day to achieve what kids learn during most of the day in regular schools. Doing homeschooling therefore is much more efficient time wise. in addition, we can train our kids to be self and critical thinking, something that does not exist in regular schools.

There are more reasons to consider, but these are our most important factors.

Mave83··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2024)
croit | Senior Ceph Engineer | 100% remote | Full or Part-time

croit is the developer of the easiest way to deploy and manage Ceph based scale out storage. To help and support our customers, we are looking for Ceph enthusiasts that want to join our team. Especially if you are an US citizen or if you like to support Sales with clever solutions, please reach out to contact@croit.io

Mave83··on Building a distributed log using S3 (under 150 lines of Go)
Small objects are very inefficient in s3. Aggregate them together and form bigger log objects is critical to go from a small system log to a real environment.
Mave83··on Why systemd is a problem for embedded Linux
For me as a user, systemd is far better than old init systems. The logging alone is worth it to switch to it. Add more ram to the embedded board and welcome to the future.
Mave83··on Some Reflections on Writing Unix Daemon
SystemD took away the pain. You no longer have to think and reinvent the demonize, logging and so on. Just just start what ever you want in a while(1) loop and write to stdout and stderr. No log rotate nightmare, etc.

This makes daemons easier to debug, as they run just in foreground so that you can start them from the cli to thinker with them.

SystemD is highly discussed and some love and some hate it. But such improvements are unmatched and extremely helpful.

Mave83··on Parrots learn to make video calls to chat with other parrots: study
Horrible Website, who likes this sh*
Mave83··on Ask HN: Is there still a reason to use Okta for SSO? Okta vs. Google SSO
Just use goauthentik.io, it's awesome.
Mave83··on Diskless infrastructure in beta (System Transparency: stboot) (2022)
we at croit.io use PXE boot into RAM for more than 6 years on all our worldwide storage deployments.

It provides so many benefits and eases the server management greatly.

Mave83··on Ask HN: What is the worst enterprise software you use every day?
Jira
Mave83··on Safari's date-picker is the cause of 1/3 of our customer support issues
Just never use date pickers for birthday but for short term date picking like scheduling an appointment.

Date input can be DD, month in textform drop-down, YYYY and you won't have any problems anymore.

I don't understand why it is so hard for devs, PO,... to understand this :)

Mave83··on I/O is no longer the bottleneck
If you have to handle multi million I/O's or files, or GB/s or TB/s bandwidth, just use DAOS.io storage. Awesome fast, scale out and self healing.
Mave83··on Ask HN: Azure has run out of compute – anyone else affected?
Just don't trust in marketing and save yourself a lot of money. On prem for all base or long term (6+ month) resources. Cloud only for peaks. And never use single cloud providers dependent features. Then you will never have such troubles at all.
Mave83··on Orange Pi 5: 8-core CPU 2.4GHz, up to 32GB DDR4
Make it open source, let it be merged in the Linux kernel, and be happy.

I don't want windows and exactly this outdated shit. I want Linux and vendors that understand, that software is part of their job if they want to sell me hardware.

Mave83··on Show HN: Lotus – Open source pricing and packaging infrastructure
I clicked on demo with my mobile, got a very unusable login prompt, and decided it's not good enough for me at the moment.
Mave83··on $150k Amazon Engineer vs. $300k Google Engineer
Sorry, but whatever tool Google brings up in the future, it won't attract me anymore. It will be buried anytime soon or it's a pain to work with. Engineering excellence my a*.
Mave83··on AWS doesn't make sense for scientific computing
I agree with the article. We at croit.io support customers around the globe to build their clusters and save huge amounts. For example, AWS S3 compared to Ceph S3 in any data center of your choice is around 1/10 of the AWS price.
Mave83··on Ask HN: What is your cloud strategy vis-à-vis Google Cloud?
I wouldn't be unhappy if they drop that business. Everyone not having a flexible multi cloud or even better on premise installation, needs to learn it the hard way anyway.
Mave83··on Bitwarden: Avoid at all costs (outage issue)
Just install yourself a vaultvarden, migrate your data and reconfigure your client to your own Bitwarden server.
Mave83··on WireGuard Servers Running from RAM
Running from memory is no big deal. You gain all and everything like a normal system and can still log persistent to some lokal disk or a remote central log service as it is quite common.

For example, all Ceph storage nodes bootet with croit.io run in RAM and have no OS installed. But you still have all logs and everything available right out of the box.

Mave83··on Ask HN: Where can I find small companies to work for part-time?
4dayweek.io maybe
Mave83··on Ask HN: One team lead always builds a monoethnic team – what to do?
Here at croit.io everyone instantly switches to english as soon as a non native language speaker is joining a chat. There is active inclusion and not exclusion. However I would say it's totally OK and understandable that if they are alone, they speak their mother language for more efficient conversations.
Mave83··on German Government Lied About Nuclear
There is one, a big and huge one. Don't worry, you will find out on your next electricity invoice that gas is used to produce electricity and by letting nuclear power plants run a little bit longer, we could save huge amounts of gas.
Mave83··on Show HN: Logto, OSS to build sign-in experience and user identity within minutes
The website has an horrible UX, if the product is like it, oof.
