hedwall··on Exercise works for depression. So why isn't it treated like real medicine?
You can get physical exercise precscription from your doctor and/or physical therapist where I live. For both physical or mental health issues. It then gets wrapped into our single payer health care system and is subsidized just the same...
hedwall··on Is Codeberg.org financially sustainable relying on member fees? Any precedents?
IBAN is the international bank number.
hedwall··on Ask HN: Should employers pay for employees' phones if 2FA apps are required?
My employer does not, they do cover my phone bill though.
hedwall··on Software Company HashiCorp Is Weighing a Potential Sale
But their money maker isn't really Terraform, it's Vault.
hedwall··on Ask HN: Apple dropping support for iPhone SE. What to do now?
I use the iPhone 13 mini, it's marginally bigger than the SE.
hedwall··on Show HN: 1,900 remote company profiles with tech stacks and employee benefits

I love when being treated fairly is liberal gospel.

hedwall··on Roblox October Outage Postmortem
A guess would be that game servers are distributed across the globe but backend services l are in one place. A common pattern in game companies.
hedwall··on I Don't Want to Be on Call Anymore
We get a flat ~800$ for an on call week (Thursday to Thursday) and Friday is off. Nothing extra for working night, but you’re not expected to work a full day if you had an incident the night before.
hedwall··on HashiCorp runs low on staff, calls a halt to Terraform pull requests
Their Enterprise versions, primarily Vault and Consul AFAIK.
hedwall··on Rent control isn’t working in Sweden
It already is illegal to make a profit by sub letting a rent controlled apartment in Sweden.
hedwall··on Strange domain names that developers bought
Back in my late teens/early twenties me and some friends talked about starting an industrial band (think Neubauten...) and calling it Slashignore.

I now own slashignore.it for our break through, any year now...

hedwall··on Infra-as-Code is cloud lock-in
For larger environments infrastructure drift is a much bigger headache then that Terraform has to store a json blob somewhere. Having a combination of state and reading running state (like Terraform does) is crucial to have a tool that can scale for large environments.
hedwall··on Ask HN: Do you self-host your database?
We don't, the maintenance cost in man hours was way to high and replacing it with AWS Aurora made it at least as reliable with a lot less overhead.

On the plus side we can do ad hoc tests and experiments by creating a new Aurora cluster with a recent snapshot and try things out.

hedwall··on Toward Vagrant 3.0
The VMWare plugin for Vagrant is now OSS and free as well.
hedwall··on Take a look at Nomad before jumping on Kubernetes
Yes it can.

"For machine-friendliness, Nomad can also read JSON-equivalent configurations. In general, we recommend using the HCL syntax."

hedwall··on Nomad v1.0 release – workload orchestration
There's no requirement on Consul for deploying Nomad, and storage support is in Beta right now.
hedwall··on Enhancing the Terraform Experience: Why We Use Terragrunt
Huh? Terragrunt has support for the same things that Terraform supports, a wide variety of different cloud providers (and other API enabled services).
hedwall··on Microsoft is giving parents 12 weeks’ paid parental leave
Sweden has 480 days of paid parental leave.
hedwall··on Assange Hearing Day 2
Citation needed.
hedwall··on Cloudflare silently deleted my DNS records
Dnsimple is a registrar as well. I have my personal domains there.
hedwall··on Fixng Nginx 502 Gateway Timeout with proxy_pass During Deployments
Istio uses Envoy for the data plane.
hedwall··on Nebula, Slack's Open Source Global Overlay Network
With Consul intentions and edge gateways you may be able to have the same functionality, but those are quite recent and was not present 2 years ago.
hedwall··on A developer goes to a DevOps conference
Just like developers cobble together apps that are barely operable. Hard coding IP addresses, opening connections with no timeouts, and lacking basic understanding what the difference is between DNS and HTTP.
hedwall··on A developer goes to a DevOps conference
Don’t be, doing SRE internships will give you the most comprehensive introduction to all aspects of developing and operating software. For me when reviewing candidates that would be a huge plus.
hedwall··on Terraform 0.12
Where does Terraform claim to follow semver?
hedwall··on Infrastructure as Code, Part One
I'm trying to write something snappy, but honestly you're just rude. Your shitting on my profession and from here it looks like you've only ever operated extremely simple production environments.

(Those examples, the real world ones, where from competent software developers that did product development, not operations people).

hedwall··on Infrastructure as Code, Part One
What I've seen is that when you get a real programming language for IaC you'll end up with a half assed, poorly implemented and documented version of a declarative DSL that is organization specific.

I saw it with early versions of Chef, I've seen it with Apache Auroras python based job specs for Mesos etc.

I'd rather work around the limitations of a DSL that is declarative and limited but is consistent across orgs than having to retrain myself if I move to a new job.

hedwall··on Julian Assange arrested in London
It wasn't dropped, the statute of limitations ran out because JA refused to be interviewed by the prosecutor and hid in an embassy.
