Switzerland disagrees.

Overlooked it too. The mouse wiggling during app loading is subtle.

This is the article linked here.

Same here. It‘s a very narrow font and everything wider than Iosevka feels like a downgrade to me.

Cookie consent banners are the worst. I could swear that every single one I‘ve ever encountered has „Accept all“ as primary call to action. On top of that some employ opt-out forms made in hell, where one has to manually click through half a dozen of checkboxes while „Accept all“ is still the primary action at the bottom of said form. I‘m not only incredibly annoyed by constantly being greeted with obtrusive overlays and huge banners, I‘ve also given up on opting out a long time ago[1]. Arguably this part of GDPR failed miserably.

This seems very nice and I'll definitely give it a shot. If you're looking for something simple, try ticker.sh[1].

This IS weird, because of the jQuery part.

You’re hired.

Check out the upcoming Turing Pi 2. Seems very promising in every regard.

No idea why you got downvoted, because you're right.

I‘m confused. Why was this posted here and what’s the news? Are they some sort of celebrity?

Let's flex then...

Sorry, this wasn't meant for you as a power user, but for the uninitiated who might gets the impression that things are great.

It still is cumbersome:

  array_filter(arr, fn)
  array_reduce(arr, fn)
  array_map(fn, arr1[, arr2, ...])
  array_walk(&arr, fn)

Not mentioning additional parameters such as `$flag`, `$userdata` or `$clownshow`.

Great article! Never stop tinkering.

Here‘s how I got to know Kubernetes:

By end of 2016, the Kubernetes hype was just about to pick up real steam. As somebody who always liked the idea of running something like an own cluster in the cloud, I attended KubeCon Europe in early 2017. The event was sold out, and took place in a venue almost too small for the number of attendees. It was great. During the event I was just about to finish the Hobby Kube[1] project. Back then weren’t any guides that addressed all the problems encountered when running Kubernetes on a budget, using low cost VPS on random cloud providers. So I dived into the subject in the second half of 2016 and started writing a guide, including automated provisioning using Terraform. I discovered WireGuard in the process of looking for a solution to efficiently securing network traffic between hosts. This still makes me feel like I was an early adopter to something that’s becoming hugely popular.

If somebody would like to add a Terraform module for deploying to Raspberry Pi, please ping me or open a PR here[2].

Oh boy, same here. Glad I found some soulmates! Input Mono Compressed comes close though.

I‘m running at three node Kubernetes cluster for less than $10 a month using this guide: https://github.com/hobby-kube/guide

Disclaimer: I‘m the author.

Hosting private repositories on GitHub pages is another feature only available with the Pro plan. Figured this one out a few days after canceling my subscription.

> [...]all German ISPs by law so that's not super special.

Wow, I didn't know that. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be the case in Switzerland where almost all ISPs force you to use their crap.

I've been a customer of Init7 for several years. They're amazing. Some more boxes to tick:

  - Use your own hardware, no crappy ISP router required
  - They host a Netflix cache server, in contrast to ISPs actively limiting bandwidth
  - They launched https://mirror.init7.net/ after Switch announced they would stop running https://mirror.switch.ch/

I‘m not switching to fish because of its lack of POSIX compliancy. This is a valid complaint.

Same here w/o fancy tooling around Git, but a couple of aliases.

I will refuse to use any Git tools or UIs, but the standard CLI, until the end of my career.

Besides that, my IDE/Editor is neither a build tool manager nor should it run my app from within an integrated console having specific settings. The projects people are going to inherit from me will always be editor-agnostic, the environment they run in will never depend on a certain setup that can‘t be documented clearly and they will always run within an isolated context, i.e. the project root.

Are you sure DO's private network traffic is actually encrypted or even isolated? Back some time ago, any host within the same private network could be reached. I wasn't surprised to see connection attempts from random hosts on eth1.

Found it to be incredibly stable, plus the links are self-healing due to its design.

Use WireGuard[1] instead. It's way faster than Tinc and other userland VPN implementations. I've been using it for the same purpose as the author of the article and it has been rock solid - not a single issue during almost two years. Setup and configuration is a breeze[2].

> About complexity, what you're saying is true, but I think "once your cluster is running" is making a lot of assumptions about what is actually running in the cluster in terms of infra and what workloads you can run there.

Already answered in a way:

> Can this be automated? Sure, but I'd rather automate my cluster provisioning.

If I need more computational power or a specific 3rd-party service that I don't have available at this point, I simply tear down my current cluster and deploy it elsewhere.

I treat my cluster as immutable. My setup is open source: https://github.com/hobby-kube/guide

> Do you want to do all of this because you think is fun? Or because you want to learn the technology? or just because? Please, be my guest! [...]

Kubernetes is likely here to stay. If you're interested in running a cluster to undestand what the hype is all about and to learn something new, you should do it. Also, ignore everybody telling you that this platform wasn't meant for that.

Complexity is a weak argument. Once your cluster is running you just write a couple of manifests to deploy a project, versus: ssh into machine; useradd; mkdir; git clone; add virtual host to nginx; remember how certbot works; apt install whatever; systemctl enable whatever; pm2 start whatever.yml; auto-start project on reboot; configure logrotate; etc. Can this be automated? Sure, but I'd rather automate my cluster provisioning.
