nik736··on Fly.io Infra log: week-by-week record of what the team does
..."off of special-purpose hosts on OVH"...

Would be interesting to know, for what exactly Fly is using OVH.

nik736··on AzerothCore: Self-Hosted World of Warcraft 3.3.5a Server
I am not sure about AzerothCore, but back then with Antrix and Ascent the Database was always provided separately, while the emulator only offered the schema.
nik736··on Serious security breach hits EU police agency
Will they pay a GDPR fine as well?
nik736··on Jets: Ruby Serverless Framework
How did it work out for you? Are developers faster/slower/same as working with Ruby?
nik736··on Ask HN: Where do you live? What's good or bad about it?
Stuttgart, Germany

Pros: Great economy, companies like Mercedes Benz, Bosch, STIHL, etc. are from here, which makes the region very rich. We have cool vineyards and a lot to explore (beautiful old towns, black forest, castles, etc.). Great Dialect ;-)

Cons: No ocean. We have 4 seasons, so it gets quite cold for several months of the year. Housing prices are insane, a lot of people are only able to rent. Aaaand we are a meme because of all the construction sites, especially our train station.

nik736··on Ask HN: People selling both SaaS and on-prem, what's the price difference?
Apart from the support, onprem is basically free as no infra costs. Why would it be more costly?

nik736··on Roundcube open-source webmail software merges with Nextcloud
Free retrieval pricing, but not free transfer. Transfer is starting at $0.09 per GB :-)
nik736··on Roundcube open-source webmail software merges with Nextcloud
Have fun paying a fortune if you need to get those files again.
nik736··on I'm trying to tackle overpriced and restrictive IP geolocation services
Where is your data from?
nik736··on Roundcube open-source webmail software merges with Nextcloud
Will Roundcube still be a seperated project or will it be included in Nextcloud? If they integrate it to heavily in the Nextcloud stuff I won't be using it anymore. :-)
nik736··on Ask HN: What to Do After Burnout?
This has one disadvantage: You will be working with people who don't want to work, do everything to waste your and their time and will drag you down. If you are fine with that everything is good, but if you have at least a bit of drive to achieve something great you will be very very unhappy.
nik736··on I tested four NVMe SSDs from four vendors – half lose FLUSH'd data on power loss (2022)
That's what PLP is for.
nik736··on Vector Packet Processing
We were running our core routers with BGP and VPP for several years pushing around 40-50 Gbps on a software stack without the need of those expensive ASICs. Worked great and stable. VPP is a great piece of technology.
nik736··on Operating on a minimal two-core Postgres instance: Query optimization insights
So you are saying when I am able to configure postgres I can earn a $300K salary? Sorry but this is utter bullshit.
nik736··on Major Power Outage to Ecmwf Data Centre
Where is it located?
nik736··on Operating on a minimal two-core Postgres instance: Query optimization insights
You could also say the same for the cloud when your internet is not working.
nik736··on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Committing to Netplan for Network Configuration
Examples?
nik736··on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Committing to Netplan for Network Configuration
You can verify your config with netplan-try. This works fairly well for me with the timeout feature. Additionally you could write a bash script that basically replaces the netplan config to the old state when the machine is no longer able to ping (or similar).

There is a -state parameter for netplan apply which allows deleting VLANs, which has worked for me every time so far. What's the exact issue?

I never ran into your last issue, so I can't comment on that.

nik736··on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Committing to Netplan for Network Configuration
Great. I love it.
nik736··on Tuxedo Pulse Gen 3
ECC RAM has its advantages but I agree it's not a must have for workstations. DDR5 has on-die ECC, which is basically controlled by the RAM itself and not everything around it like with regular ECC.
nik736··on Hard-to-swallow truths they won't tell you about software engineer job
This is exactly what I noticed as well.
nik736··on From S3 to R2: An economic opportunity
S3 and R2 aside, OVHs object storage offering is really robust and great. It performs better than S3 and is way cheaper, in storage and egress cost.
nik736··on Cloudflare API Down
Even the high profile datacenters I had to deal with in Frankfurt had the same issues. There were regular maintenance tests where they made sure the generators were working properly... I can imagine this is more of a pray and sweat task than anything that's in your hands. I have no clue why this is the status quo though.
nik736··on What to Do After Google Domains Was Acquired by Squarespace?
GoDaddy, seriously?
nik736··on Ask HN: Recommendation 12" Laptop
